The "Not being allowed to discuss anything dealing with space or other planets if "colonization" is mentioned (yet people can claim Antartica which violates The Antartic Treaty of 1959)" is not actually a rule and neither is "Not being allowed to discuss actions of tribunals and internal affairs regarding ONLY members of any micronation organization." If you guys want everything to spelled the British English way I can understand how you want to increase article conformity with the english microwiki community. But forcing us to use British English word choice is a terrible idea. Since when was baseball ever called rounders? And I have never heard anyone in my life use the term anti-clockwise over counterclockwise. Yes I'm an American and I do respect the usage of British English (I use to live in the Republic of Ireland). However, controlling terminology is unneccessary, especially since it can change the meaning of what you are talking about when put into context.

So if you want to go the British English ONLY route and be unaccepting of other people's word choice, then maybe we should have an American English and British English microwiki community. We already have a community for traditional Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. Of course when putting this topic into perspective, most reasonable people would just drop the British English only rule.

Sabovia, you say that those two things I mentioned are not "actually" rules.... Yet I have been threatened with bans from Admins for being involved in both activities. So to clear things up, am I allowed to do what I did?
