Question on Proposals

My proposal was deleted due to "Branding"... now, I had no idea what that was, so I went and looked it up here.

Branding

Limited branding is allowed. "Limited" means that you may list one co-author by nation name only. Example:

"Co-authored by The Most Glorious Hack"

Further branding will result in the Proposal being deleted. Don't list everyone who posted in the thread for your draft, don't list yourself, don't list your Minister Of Making Proposals, and don't post the 'pre-title' of the co-author (ie: "The Republic Of..."). This includes creating nations that have the same name as your region or group and using them to promote your region or group.

Now the thing is...

I didn't mention anyone in my proposal :S Yet it was deleted for "Branding".
The ONLY nation I mentioned was my own, The Empire of Tardorian, in the sentence "We, The Empire of Tardorian, propose that yada yada........"
Now, it says "Dont list yourself", but I've seen many other proposals not deleted, that list the own author like I did. It also says limited branding is allowed, and surely only mentioning yourself in a quick sentence would be considered "limited"?

Could someone explain to me why my proposal (Legalizing Prostitution) was deleted then? o.0

You're not allowed to include your nation name: the other proposals were illegal too, and it's probably just the mods hadn't spotted them yet or got around to deleting them.

However, we do anyway have a resolution legalising prostitution (http://nationstates.net/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=90) so your proposal might also have been illegal for duplication or contradiction.
