Can I get an answer from the mods?

WHY DO MY PROPOSALS ALWAYS GET DELETED!!???

Unless I've missed something in the 4 times I've read the rules, It states NO WHERE that I cannot do this... If I continue to get no answer.. I don't see how you could say my proposals arent being deleted because of an ignoramus pushing his agenda.

Perhaps if you'd read the FAQ, the posting proposals section, and this topic (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77286) (which is linked from the Create a New Proposal page), you'd see that in fact they are NOT allowed.

In addition, if you'd bothered to read any of the dozens of Repeal topics that always seem to pop up after EVERY passed resolutioni, you'd see ample links, comments, and discussions from Mods and long-time players, explaining WHY it's not allowed.

Further, you'd think that after several public warnings (and presumably private ones as well), you'd have figured out that it ISN'T allowed.

Finally, no one here cares about your problem. It's not a beef with the UN, it's a beef with Moderators. Go post in Moderation, why doncha.

but one cannot be expected to check into the forum and search diligently for such unacceptable reasoning. and one cannot be expected to waste a day sifting through dozens of pages for simple info.
1) the forum is slow as hell and I dont have time to deal with it seeing as I check in between classes and work.
2)It makes no sense why I would be expelled for such

this is a beef with the UN and the mods I suppose... I just want an explanation as to why I cannot propose the illegalization of prostitution.. but someone else who did after me.. still has their reso "Illegalize prostitution" alive and well.

You're wrong. One CAN be expected to follow the rules, especially since it appears youve been here for at least 7 months. If you can't be bothered to check the rules beforehand, why should we be bothered when you are deleted for not following them?

Your argument falls on deaf ears, Crissia. You want us to resolve your laziness. That ain't gonna happen.

laziness and having a life are 2 totally different things..
I have no time to sift through page after page of message board postings in order to find an answer to a simple question.
All I ask is the mods please send me a TG response when I TG them a question or make it more easy to access an answer to the specific question I am asking.

I'm not trying to start a fight.. I just think the fact that I've been threatened with expulsion over such a small issue is ridiculous

After 20 people a day propose this idea and 1000 people a minute shout it down as being not a part of the UN proceedings, we would expect that anyone who took more than 3 minutes to research their idea they're working on would find out that it was in fact against the rules.

If you're asking as to why you cannot do this, I'm not 100% sure, but it probably has something to do with, for example, if a proposal gets 10001 approvals and 10000 disaprovals, then there will be 10000 repeals about it. If something is passed once, there is absolutely no reason why we should go back and try to change it. It worked the first time, it will work again.
