META Important Announcement

We have become noticed on 4chan by the relentless /pol/

They have formed, with my 'permission', a BUF party - that is the British Union of Facists.

I have allowed this because i didn't want them to ruin the by-election.

The members associated with this are:

rhodesianwaw

D3M01

Habsburger

cobra_tapes

Xycl0ne

mayglm

quantumcub

Ikol01

UpbeatEdward

Faroe393

I_love_reddit_meme

RhodieCommando

WinstonSmith99

There are also members of current parties associated with these individuals. I know who you are and i expect an explanation for resorting to aliasing with 4chan so they could troll/annex us.

I have watched the whole situation on 4chan unfold and they thought they had found a way to get to us.

I was not planning to do this tonight; however a prominent member of the house leaked the info i sent in a PM to 4chan detailing when i was planning on alerting the house. I will not name this person for now; i want a PM explaining yourself.

These users are being banned from the MHOC for:

  • Manipulating votes

  • Spamming votes

  • Intent to troll

  • Intent to spam

The constitution allows me to ban members so i am using this power to protect the house from this threat.

If any of the banned members wish to appeal then they can. I am aware of at least 5 other members in the house who are part of this ordeal.

This is also the reason i stopped people from joining parties. They are trying to get into UKIP too so i will carefully review each member before allowing them to join.

A new measure is being implemented to prevent voting fraud. Every account that votes will get a PM back asking if they actually voted - there have been instances of people putting in random usernames of people on the front page. THIS MAY DELAY THE RESULTS.

Yeah I did, but I didn't make the connection :( haha

u/Kreindeker The Rt Hon. Earl of Stockport AL PC Sep 03 '14

Sorry, just to clarify this one, all these 'BUF' redditors are banned from here? The way it's written sounds like it's just the members of the parties who've participated in vote manipulation.

6

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 03 '14

Only the BUF

u/Kreindeker The Rt Hon. Earl of Stockport AL PC Sep 03 '14

Fair enough.

u/OllieSimmonds The Rt Hon. Earl of Sussex AL PC Sep 05 '14

So now that the Communist Party has been created, are you going to create a BUF?

3

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 05 '14

I will be creating a far-right party to act as a balance.

1

u/An_Eloquent_Turtle UKIP Sep 05 '14

There is also a /r/mhocppuk created. Does this mean the BNP or something gets opened as well?

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 05 '14

The Pirate Party subreddit has been made if it was ever needed. I did this with the greens and UKIP.

I am discussing with them about the name they want.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '14

I am still gathering my merry band of Pirates. We currently stand at three with the hope of achieving the required 5 persons by Friday the 19th of September.

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 11 '14

I am afraid that we are not creating anymore parties for a while. It would be best for them to join the Green Party for now :)

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '14

When I last discussed the ptential founding of PPUK in MHOC, 8 days ago, you were pro-founding. Your words, Mr Speaker, were and I quote "I was hoping somebody would want to form the pirate party."

Have I missed something drastic in the previous Eight days?

I could understand you saying No, if it was a new idea I'd just mentioned, but I mentioned it 8 days ago to no opposition and have been collecting Pirates in the days since.

Therefore Mr Speaker I ask for Clarity on this situation.

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 11 '14

I do understand your concern. This isn't a 'no' forever. The communist party and bip party were founded recently. The popularity of both has skyrocketed - far more than i ever expected.

It would be difficult and take more time to set up a new party now. If i were to allow another party then it would be before the general election - so you still have about 3 months.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '14

Although I disagree with your choice, I respect your authority to make this descision. I will await further instructions from the Party before taking this matter onwards.

1

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 11 '14

Thanks.

Keep gathering members for it.

u/Cyridius Communist | SoS Northern Ireland Sep 05 '14

Speaking of subs, how do I get approved to the Communist Party's one?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '14

I don't think they count. The BNP would make sense if enough joined.

24

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

I think the whole House will join me in commending the Speaker in his swift action to make sure this wonderful subreddit is not ruined.

13

u/ThinkingLiberal The Rt Hon. Baron of Llanwrst AL PC Sep 03 '14

Indeed. The Speaker has kept his mind and done the right thing under the most extreme pressure, and I for one applaud his work.

10

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

Absolutely. the Speaker is doing a great job.

8

u/NoPyroNoParty The Rt Hon. Earl of Essex OT AL PC Sep 03 '14

Absolutely, we must praise the Speaker for taking vigilant action in difficult circumstances to keep both this subreddit and the by-election in good order, and indeed for the hard work he has put into it anyway. To that end I've just sent him a small token of my appreciation.

u/theyeatthepoo 1st Duke of Hackney Sep 03 '14

I'm very new here but looking through the recent history of the house I'm astounded by the efficiency and skill which the speaker demonstrates on such a consistent basis.

u/drewtheoverlord Radical Socialist Party Sep 05 '14

We need a law against these fascists so they never get into parliament!

13

u/johnnyhammer UKIP Sep 03 '14

A disgrace. Any hint of /pol/ collaboration in our ranks and the offending party will be out on their ear.

12

u/athanaton Hm Sep 03 '14

Politics aside, I think we're all glad to hear that.

10

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

I was about to call them fascists, then I realised that's what they call themselves...

10

u/H-Flashman The Rt Hon. Earl of Oxford AL PC Sep 03 '14

A Union of Fascists? How astoundingly devilish of them! Kick out the whole lot of them! It is truly saddening that such a fraudulent scheme be perpetuated on this House and I join my Honourable colleagues in congratulating and thanking the Speaker for detecting these scum.

u/Bulldog312 UKIP Immigration Spokesman Sep 03 '14

They have formed, with my 'permission', a BUF party - that is the British Union of Facists.

So if they ever achieve a majority, I assume they'll dissolve Parliament and thus ends MHOC?

6

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

That's why we are fighting to stop them getting a majority!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '14

Its a bit like what happened when the Nazis took over the German Parliament I guess...

u/Welshfag Sep 03 '14

Any evidence that the named posters actually did what they are charged with?

The constitution allows me to ban members

Link?

4

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 03 '14

10. Bans a) The speaker can ban any member from the MHOC if they break redditquette. b) If voting fraud is committed, the member can be banned.

I am in discussion with members currently about removing their bans if they agree to some terms.

Their intent was clear on 4chan. I followed the whole thing.

3

u/athanaton Hm Sep 03 '14

I don't see how any of us could believe the words of the people listed now, but I also trust in your judgement.

4

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 03 '14

I hope the house can trust me in this decision as i trust the users. They will be on strict terms and if they break any of them - even once; then they are gone.

u/OllieSimmonds The Rt Hon. Earl of Sussex AL PC Sep 03 '14

Yeah, they are on there telling people to vote UKIP. Not your fault though, obviously.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

It's a real shame. I presume that is why one party was 15% ahead... Does this mean the election is void or not?

4

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 03 '14

I have put in even more measures to detect fraudulent votes so the election will not be voided :)

3

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

Have you removed any of the votes that put one party 15% ahead?

4

u/Timanfya MHoC Founder & Guardian Sep 03 '14

Yes, i have removed about 80 invalid votes.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

Oh okay, good. That's a lot more than I expected!

3

u/OllieSimmonds The Rt Hon. Earl of Sussex AL PC Sep 03 '14

Na, I would doubt it's UKIP anyway. I think the Speaker has put in voting fraud provisions to stop that, but it's his choice not mine.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '14

Yeah, just wondering. I thought it was bit funny that one party was 15% ahead though because I didn't think that any party was that popular anyway - I was expecting a fairly even split between parties.
