Does anyone out there know if it's possible for a regional password to automatically be removed at a certain time of day after a certain period of time?
Thanks!

only the founder [and Delegate if allowed] can remove passwords, to my knowledge.

If a region is deleted for being empty, then the password also disappears with it.

Just out of curiosity, if a region is deleted, can it be re-created?

Easily (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=create_region). Just type in the name of the region that no longer exists.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I just wondered whether the name could be re-used.

Yes. Dead nation names can not be re-used at any time. But, dead regions names can.

I have been confronted to a region where there is no delegate and founder ceased to exist. Only 2 nations, inactive, are present. Is it possible to ask the password to be lifted?

No. If they are inactive, just wait for them to die off and the region will be yours.

It would be fairly easy to write a script that did this, but you'd have to be founder or delegate to run it, and it would have to run on a local machine (which would therefore have to be on and connected to the internet)
