Suggestion:: UN Members Rejecting/Removing Endorsements

There should be an option where a UN Delegate can Reject Endorsements from a certain nation, or remove an endorsement from their list. This is especially helpful in regions with democratic elections, when Nations have endorsed a delegate who has been voted out, but are not active for days on end, so the Old Delegate is forced to keep all the endorsements, or leave the region/UN...

You're asking for a nation to be able to remove its OWN endorsements, right?

I think that should be an option. It would also be good in cases where you don't want the support of certain nations, because you disagree with them.

Yes true, where you don't want them inflation your endorsements with a plan to take you down later (I did actually have that happen, but the nation was a multi so it ended fine for me.)

I move out, problem solved :p
In a democracy is no place for swappers. We have elections.

The point wouldn't be to remove ALL of your endorsements, the idea is to remove only a few.

I'd like to see if this was possible or not.

Would this bring about a new invasion tactic? Rejecting endorsements and then accepting them again at the last minute?

I don't think the idea is having endorsements in waiting, but instead being able to selectively remove them once they're given.

But once you rejected an endorsement, the person would have to re-endorse you, you couldn't just say you wanted it back. The only way to accept them at the last minute would be to have the invaders all endorse at the last minute.

If they had to re-endorse you, couldn't they just keep re-endorsing you? Wouldn't you need some kind of block or something?

Personally, this seems like quite a bit of work for fairly little reward.

If this feature is added, then I suggest only the founder and the founder alone can do this.

It will give him/her more control of his or her region and its goings on. Tough luck for the UN Delegates, besides, why would they need such a feature?

They wouldn't.

Hmm...if it takes a lot of work then it's probably not worth it. I thought maybe it could be connected to the withdrawal, but the endorsee could also activate a withdrawal of an endorsement.

I think the original idea was meant to be used voluntarily and where there is no conflict. In that context it's a good idea. The idea of re-endorsing over and over seems kindof pointless, although I'm sure someone would find some kind of use for it. :p
