The DO NOT TELEGRAM List

I am posting this topic because I am tired of small nations telegraming me, wanting me to join their region. These people are worse than telemarketers. Since those people have a 'Do not call' list, I'm making a 'Do not telegram list', to save myself and others the trouble of replying and deleting those annoying telegrams. I'll add names as they come up.
The List

I grovel to you, PLEASE add me to the list.
And to any of you damn telegrammarketers:
Dear (whoever),
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit.
Hate,
Neo Earth
This won't work, it will just make them want to telegram you even more.
You are now on their list.
I know you meant well, but this is just a dumbass idea.

Add me to the list.
And if any of you smaller nations TG me I'll go to war with your sorry asses
You people do realize if you put your name on that list you become automatic targets for the telemarketers don't you?
There are no moderators enforcing this you know.
Just a warning.

Did I ask for your opinion? No, I didn't. Now leave this topic the hell alone.
Dawgs Land is right. There are no moderators enforcing this and also, the telemarketers will have a new target to telegram.

Just a warning. Nope, you're wrong too :lol:
No one will ever read this list, much less abide by it's silly demands. BTW, you do realize that maintaining such a list is far more troublesome than deleting or *gasp* reading a few TG's don't you?
Did I ask for your opinion? No, I didn't. Now leave this topic the hell alone.
In NationStates, you don't have to ask.
Everyone has an opinion.
You'll have to learn how to deal with it.
Oh, and never talk to me like that again.
I wanna be on that list....
Fools...
I will now leave this topic and pity those of you who do not see you're making a big mistake.
Put me on the List!!!!!!!!!!!
put the 70,000 nations on the list that dont give a shit
This list is a interesting idea but the offending spamers would have to know about this list and check this list before sending TG's. If this list is, as you say un-enforced & unmodorated how will anyone know to check the list. :? :?:
If you want to beat Telelmarketers & Spammers (In the real world) take up as much of their time as possible. If they are kept on the phone to you or reading dozens of long and pointless emails/letters (best sent in their prepaid envelopes :lol: ) they will have less time to contact other people. Then there return rate will go down, and spamming will become unprofitable. :wink:
Do your bit for the fight against Spammers & Telemarketers DON'T HANG UP keep them talking as longh as possible, waste their time.
Thanks :!:

MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK..
Look, I am just as annoyed as everyone else by the folks who t-gram me with flames, and just plain insults. Especially if I don't know who they are. But the t-gramms asking me to move to their region or to assist with a project don't bother me a bit, it is a bit of realism from my point of view. I am sure that real world leaders get all kinds of proposals and requests that are unsolicited.
MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK.....MOCK..
Bah. If they want my help, they can send someone with a million dollars and ask for it properly.
Of course, after I found an excuse to destroy the last newbie who asked me to move to their region, things have quieted down.

Thanks. I'm blushing. :oops: No-one ever appreciates a villian.
By the way, I expected you to respond to my crime and punishment thread.

OOC: What an idea! Maybe I should go after 'Dawgs Land' for telling my alter ego to 'not talk to him like that again'. I could stomp him like a small and insignificant rodent. What fun!
This is a good idea, in its principle. It would be nice if this list was shoved down every users' throat, and they were warned that deletion would be imminent if they SPAMed the people on it. Then a checkbox would be next to every telegram, and we could just check it as SPAM, and get them (hopefully) deleted.
