I have been ejected from the UN :( and asked to stop sending questions to the moderators because I guess 2 telegrams are considered spamming. So here is my suggestion.
The United Nations is getting much tougher on people who break the "one player, one UN member nation" rule. If you have been ejected from the UN, warned, or deleted, this explains why.
Q: I didn't know it was against the rules to have multiple UN member nations.
A: It is mentioned in the FAQ (see: "United Nations"). Also, when you receive your invitation e-mail from the UN, it clearly spells out the penalties for breaching this rule. Not paying attention to this is not an excuse.
Q: I wasn't cheating! I only have one UN member nation. Your game got it wrong.
A: This is possible, but unlikely. The game uses four different methods to detect if the same person is operating multiple UN members. These methods include IP address tracking and login pattern detection. If your nation was deleted, the game gathered very strong evidence that it was being operated from the same location as other UN members on multiple occasions.
Q: My friends operate those other UN member nations. We all share the same computer.
A: I'm sorry if that's the case. There is no way for the game to tell how many people are on the other end of a computer. For this reason, breaches of UN rules involving only two members are usually punished with expulsion, not deletion.
However, please note this important point: we cannot take your word on how many people are really behind your computer. This is not because you are untrustworthy, it's simply that otherwise there is no way to enforce the UN rules.
Q: But that's not fair!
A: True, and again, I'm sorry if you and your friends have been punished unjustly. However, this is the closest we can come to fair. If we accepted people's explanations that they were using a public computer with their friends, we would have to let people create as many UN nations as they like. This would destroy the whole point of the UN.
The line has to be drawn somewhere, and thus, fair or not, the rule must stand.
Now here is my suggestion. Whenever your computer finds that more than one IP address(same computer) has multiple accounts in the UN, check and see if they e-mails are similar, if the nations are similar, and if what they have posted in the forums are similar. You can also check the records of acitivity of the accounts because if it is truely more than one person on the same computer, they both may not be checked the same day. If it were one person, they would check each nation one right after the other just because they are on the same web page.
The computers can only take over a person's job so far, thats where people( the moderators) step in.
