NationStates Jolt Archive

I created a nation by mistake, and don't want to use it. How do I delete it?

Great Andland.

let it sit for 28 days. then it goes away. or you could just be a total d-bag on the forums and get a mod to delete you. whatever works.

Just don't log in for a long time, and it will be disposed of for inactivity.

Don't try a suicide-by-Mod. Especially not if you have another nation that you want to keep.

The Mods will certainly not appreciate the extra work a suicide-by-Mod gives them, and I'm sure they'd be much happier with the other method being used.

^^not a Mod

Yeah, I'll let it wither and forget about it if that's the easiest way. I just wondered if there was a quicker way to do it ... but I won't do it if it's too much of a pain.

They don't let you delete them because there would be tons of people asking to have their nations revived.

As if there aren't too many already. I don't know why they don't raise the limits to forty days and ninety days, or something.

Actually, Neo, I think the last time someone tried to do a suicide-by-mod, they ended up getting their password changed without notice. They died on inactivity whether they wanted to or not. The mods don't like it, no, but they're more than willing to have the last laugh.

So don't try it. Just edit the password to something obscenely long and complex, and let it die.

I never said it doesn't work, just that it's not the nicest thing to do.

EDIT:
Hey, that's kind of ironic.
I missed the irony at first.
