Proposal Spamming...

The Constitutional Republic of Tekania, being the NSUN Delegate from the Region of Futura, properly endorsed and elected as such; would like to issue the following warning:

I am most likely one of the few Delegates who actively, and frequently peruse to the Proposal lists for proposals I would likely support.

That being said; I have noticed an increase in the number of "spammed" proposals in the queues. Be warned; I will REPORT to the moderators, and WILL NOT ENDORSE proposals which have been spammed in the queues, even in the unlikely event that I approve of the reasoning in the proposal.

Proposals spammers, be warned. If you want to increase the chances of your proposal being passed, you will write clear and coherant proposals; do not spam them; and use TG campaigns and forum debate to attract attention... Spamming will have you reported to the Moderators.

I don't spam when I want my proposal to go through but how else do you get people that don't look at the fourms to vote?

TG them, the ones who do not look at the forums, don't look at the proposals either.

Spamming, makes it harder for those of us nice delegates who do look through the forums and scan the proposal queues, to do our job.

I've reported no less than 4 spammed proposals today, 5 yesterday, and 2 the day before that.

Proposal spamming is also against the rules. As it clogs up and bloats the proposal queue.

I believe Tekania is talking about how sometimes players will submit the exact same idea multiple times in the queue. He / she made it clear that he / she did not mind getting telegrams. In fact, Tekania asked to be added to my region's call list.

Tejasdom, if you or anybody else would like to get telegrams from proposal authors, if you just let me know I'll add you to:

These lists are free for any nation to view, and I encourage proposal authors to use the lists. If more nations sign up, they can make the job of campaigning perhaps less important than the job of designing quality proposals. :)

My favorite are the ones by the guy who called certain things unconstitutional. I didn't know the NSUN had a constitution.

I also turned in one where the guy submitted the same thing four times. But due to server glitches popping up recently, I don't think this is intended spamming as much as side-effects of people getting errors and trying to submit again. This may be a server problem instead of a user problem.

Ooo heh heh... Missed that bit. Sure, you can go ahead and add me to the list. Wouldn't mind that a bit.
