The State Secrets Act

Title I – Classification of State Secrets
a) All discussions in private forums are designated secrets of the state and therefore protected from disclosure by this act unless they are concerned with information that is already public available. An exception to this designation would be private forums which are created simply as a convenience for carrying out the work of the government. Nevertheless, information found in these areas ought not to be disclosed without the express permission of the thread's creator unless it has already been agreed to make it public or it involves a violation of law.
b) For a thread to be marked as classified, it must satisfy both of the following:
1. It must not be publicly viewable.
2. It must be clearly stated by its creator that national security is involved.

Title II – Disclosure of State Secrets
a) The designation of state secret expires after 30 days from the last post.
b) An extended time limit must be proposed and seconded by two others with access to the topic, with exception of the forum admin.
c) State secrets may only be disclosed before the time limit is up under the following two conditions:
1. Unanimous decision by all the participating members.
2. Use as evidence in a government trial or investigation.

Title III – Punishments for Unlawful Disclosure of State Secrets
a) If a person is accused of unlawfully disclosing a piece of information that is protected by this act, that person must stand before a government trial.
b) The accused person will immediately lose his/her access to the classified forum that they are accused of leaking information from for the duration of the investigation and trial.
c) If said person is found guilty, the jurors overseeing the trial may award punishments based on the severity of the leak.
d) The maximum punishment that may be given is a six month ban from holding another government position.
