NationStates Jolt Archive

There is a comment in the FAQ section that says "Nations that have not logged on in over 28 days will be automatically deleated"
1) Is this true?
2) Should we report those nations still present after say 39 (or 151) days of inactivity?
3) Would cleaning up these inactive Nations help clear the boards and adjust the statistics for everybody else?

Nations that haven't logged on in 28 days are deleted unless they're in "vacation mode". If they're in vacation mode, they get deleted after 60 days.

1) Yes.
2) 39, no. 151 ... hmmm. That shouldn't be there, but there's not a lot we can do apart from simply deleting it, which marks it as mod-deleted and ineligible for restoration ... which isn't what we want. Eh. Leave it.
3) The behavior of other nations does not affect you at all, beyond the shared experience that is the United Nations.

Well, you'd gain one extra spot for every delete nation on the top 10 list...
Not much will happen really.

SOooo...
No nation should exhist after 28 days without logging on (Excpet for those in Vacation Mode. Those are given 60 days without logging in before being deleted).

Excellent!

Thank you all for the clearifications.

Does it matter if a disused nation is just left...no deletion

Deletion is not a player option, so I'm not clear on what you're asking.

We don't care if you answer a million issues or just log in and then log out again. If you log in (according the the timing above), it stays alive. If you don't log in, it will go away. Simple as that.
