My Predictions

Will Israel or Palestine "Officially Declare War" by April 15th, 2008?

Settled as Neither Israel nor Palestine will Officially Declare War

No declaration of war

Background:

Israeli and Palestinian tensions are mounting daily as fighting gets worse and worse in Gaza. This question is, will "Israel Officially Declare War" with Palestine or will "Palestine Officially Declare War" against Israel by April 15th, 2008 by 11:59pm Pacific Time? By "Officially Declare War" I mean that in the news it must be said that the leaders or governments of either Israel or Palestine or both declare war on the other by April 15th, 2008.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

I presume you mean Palestine, controlled by Abbas and not Hamas?

Hey all hubdubbers, the admins who control this site want EVERYONE'S input on how to deal with this cheater Satyaki and ALL future gamers ... They are asking for everyone to post their opinions and suggestions for the official rules on this link:
http://getsatisfaction.com/hubdub/topics/proposed_new_procedure_for_dealing_with_gaming?
This ongoing problem stems from this:

Here is the LATEST proposal from hubdub admins that they desire our say on:
Admins want a 4 strikes and your out process:
Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming
Hubdub Representative
To date we have dealt with gaming on a case by case basis. However it has become clear that we need to have a defined process for dealing with individuals that game. Therefore this is our proposed procedure:
1. First identified instance/set of instances: Email warning
2. Second identified instance/set of instances: Email warning, user placed on public watch list (for 2 weeks) and fined 50% of worth
3. Third instance/set of instances: Email warning, user placed on public watch list (for 2 weeks) and fined down to H$1,000
4. Any subsequent instance will result in their ability to create questions removed and potentially suspension of their account.
We propose to apply this procedure for all new instances of gaming however some users are on their first warning and one user is on their second warning.


HOWEVER, several of us users are calling for a MUCH stiffer penalty process and this is our overall latest proposal back to the admins:
We want a 3 strikes you're out process:
1. First identified instance/set of instances: Email warning, user placed on public watch list (for 2 weeks) and fined 50% of worth.
2. Second instance/set of instances: Email warning, user placed on public watch list (for 2 weeks to 30 days) and fined down to H$1,000. AND removal of the gamers' right to create question for a period of time.
3. Any subsequent instance will result in definite, permanent suspension of their account, their IP and all other accounts by the gamer.


Have your say and please add your input at the area the admins have set up for this purpose:

Guess it won't be happening this week, maybe in the coming months. We'll have to wait and see, maybe a new question will be made, but I am starting to doubt an all out war anytime soon.
