Preemptive Ban Listing Nations

Is there a way to ban nations from a region without having to kick them from the region first?

Hypothetical Example: The Republic of Whatever (not a/the actual nation, just here for example purposes) is a known harasser of my region, but pops in and out before we can boot him. We want him banned, but we still want the region open to traffic, so we don't want to lock it down with a password. Is there a way we could ban him without actually having to boot him first?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

No, unfortunately.

Yeah. Right. Just imagine the chilling result such a thing would have on the invasion gamplay...

It wouldn't damper invasion activity in the slightest. Most invaders/defenders use UN puppets that on average rotate per mission. Pre-emptive banning wouldn't have much of an affect on that aspect of the game.

If they're harassing your region repeatedly, then file Getting Help reports to document it.

Agreed. I do the invasion thing sometimes, but unlike 99.9% of the other, cowardly invader groups, my people bring the heat with their primary nations. THAT'S HOW WE ROLL! So yeah, that would only really hurt my group, and we don't do invasions nearly enough to be black listed across NS, though those would be some pretty hot bragging rights... :)

Thanks, I'm well aware of that, but you did see the part about it being a HYPOTHETICAL example, correct?

If you could pre-emptively ban this hypothetical chappie, then he would just create a puppet.

while you're at it, why not just "pre-emptively ban" the entire N/S population (if you keep wolves like me out, I've got an even simpler idea: password up your region).
