it seems like the mods here are becoming more and more drunk with their own powers as they deat and lock threads based on the flimisiest of reasons and they pick favorite people who are granted special rights to do or say anything while others are singled out for special persecution either because of their politics or past run ins with the mods. In any event people are becoming afraid to say ANYTHING on these boards cause they dont know when on some whim theyll be the next victim of some mods irrational spite--this forum is becoming more and more about the mods egos and abuse of power then in people being able to feel free to interact. If this isnt a living example of thought control at its worst I dont know what is--this place is in danger of becoming as irrelevant as the american media because anything controversial at all is sanitized by control freak mods--will there come a day when itll be only the mods that are left here?

P.s. if I get deated for this its just further proof of how bad things have gotten here

Obey the rules, and you don't get in trouble. Disobey, and you do. It's very simple. The ape-creatures of the Indus have mastered this.

And yes, I am applying for special powers. I'm applying for the ability to take incorporeal form, and travel through the server, and then destroy your computer and those of all your neighbours.

Yes, the mods are largely unaccountable, they wield there power without checks and balances, and they are ruining this game. Most mods obcviously enjoy the recognition they receive from players, and seem to revel in the sense of their own importance. They are always fickle and generally respond well to flattery.

You are quite right, MK, they are out of control. They will usually lock threads and delete posts (and players) according to their politics. Infinite patience is extended to those who share their political views, but if you don't agree with them, well.. Forget about deigning to call them on their BS, they'll just delete you for it.

Yeh, in many respects NS resembles a poorly goverened nation. A few laws (often changed or selectively interpreted by the mods to suit individual circumstances) but no real constitutional framework. Favours and favouritism are the grease the makes the nS world go round. People tend to have "friendly mods" that are more receptive to individual requests by their cronies. There is no equity, or predictability. NS is a good game, but I wish Mxx would take more of an interest in the day-to-day management of affairs, or establsh some objective and enforceable guidelines.

They will usually lock threads and delete posts (and players) according to their politics.

Name two cases. Just two.

So, you think people should get away with breaking the rules? See the sig, buddy.

Yeah, I'm a spy. I'm sitting on my computer, in Australia, and I'm sending coded messages back to the CIA, wearing a trenchcoat. Ooh, look at me.

But, if you meant I'm a spy for the mods, I'm not at all. I prefer to be called a 'counsel for the crown'. And you are charged with the crime of flaming, two counts, sedition, one count, and spreading foolishness, 100 counts.

How do you plead, TRA?

So...are they really letting people off the hook for people they like? And DEATing those they don't?

THEY ARE JUST PEOPLE WHO ARE KEEPING THIS WEBSITE RUNNING, AND IT'S PAST THE POINT WHERE ALL THIS COMPLAINING IS AMUSING.

TRA, YOU GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVED. IF YOU'RE PLAYING FOR SYMPATHY, YOU'LL GET NONE FROM ME, OR FROM ANY OTHER RIGHT-THINKING PEOPLE. IF YOU OBEY THE RULES, THEN YOU WON'T GET IN TROUBLE. IT IS NOT THAT HARD.

it seems like the mods here are becoming more and more drunk with their own powers as they deat and lock threads based on the flimisiest of reasons and they pick favorite people who are granted special rights to do or say anything while others are singled out for special persecution either because of their politics or past run ins with the mods. In any event people are becoming afraid to say ANYTHING on these boards cause they dont know when on some whim theyll be the next victim of some mods irrational spite--this forum is becoming more and more about the mods egos and abuse of power then in people being able to feel free to interact. If this isnt a living example of thought control at its worst I dont know what is--this place is in danger of becoming as irrelevant as the american media because anything controversial at all is sanitized by control freak mods--will there come a day when itll be only the mods that are left here?

P.s. if I get deated for this its just further proof of how bad things have gotten here

i agree totally. power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Mods need to loosen the noose a little, people can stand up for themselves sometimes. And no, i dont really blame the mods for this though. its the modabees. yes, you know them- the ones that sacrifice shit to the mods and report anybody that strays a tad over the line of NS law. a tattletail sign is

<------- not a mod! :roll: or you gonna get DEATED!!11oneone

Hear, hear.

The ultimate place of appeal is to e-mail admin(at)nationstates.net - that's a direct line to NationStates Admin. That's the proper place to complain about moderator abuse.

If you don't like it, it's simply too bad. Either follow the rules, or disobey them and suffer the negative consequences. If they're Max Barry's rules, then tough, because those are his rules, and they will not be changed.

Oh, so EVERY law and rule in EVERY situation must be obeyed, right? That's just outright idiocy. I'm not just talking about some internet forum.

There are administrators.

The ultimate place of appeal is to e-mail admin(at)nationstates.net - that's a direct line to NationStates Admin. That's the proper place to complain about moderator abuse.

You are quite right, MK, they are out of control. They will usually lock threads and delete posts (and players) according to their politics. Infinite patience is extended to those who share their political views, but if you don't agree with them, well.. Forget about deigning to call them on their BS, they'll just delete you for it.

not always true, I'm extreme right wing conservative at times, and most of the mods are liberal and they are as of yet to come after me...though i post few and far between and try to remain tactful... despite this though, you guys do remind me of the gestapo..try going after only those players who are abusive and so forth...someone saying they hate liberals shouldnt be censored..someone who goes "I'm going to kill you!" should.

Heres an idea:

1. Find an article you think raises an issue that should be addressed.
2. Make sure the article is from a trustworthy source (the less biased, the better)
3. Now you can copy paste the article.
4. If possible, break the article into smaller sections and address the seperate sections.
5. Provide your own thoughts on the issue/provide a short summary of your thoughts (from part 4).
6. Then post.

Also, stay away from inflammatory language (idiot, doodoo head, etc.)
Not only do they raise unneeded conflict, they just make the poster look stupid.


If you follows these suggestions, you won't look like some hack who's just tossing stuff about.

(In theory at least)

Learn from Sheol (R.I.P.). Don't go making accustations of abuse without any proof to back it up. That's what the admin-types, not the mods, deleted Sheol for- continual harassment of the mods and constant claiming all these abuses and then never giving proof, even when asked directly by the admin!

No, it's proof that there's an ever-growing number of sodding idiots who enjoy spamming, trolling, flaming, harassing, and generally pretending there's some worth to their miserable little lives by trying to be big and make a noise where they have the protection of annonymity, and the ability to post whatever drek they can get away with, all of course whilst screaming at the top of their lungs the supposed 'rights' of free speech, and forgetting altogether that this is a FREE site and that they are here by the grace of Max Barry and his duly appointed Moderators alone.

If it weren't for the idiots who break rules and see any sort of authority as an opportunity to challenge and oppose it, we wouldn't have a need for Moderators or rules or guidelines or the like. This is clearly a case of 'squeaky wheel' syndrome, where the whining of the few overshadows the silent majority who are enjoying this game quite contentedly.

You don't like it? Leave and save the bandwidth for those of us with something worthwhile to contribute, or go set up your own site where you can bitch, whine and moan about the 'injustices' of the world to your wee heart's content.

In any event people are becoming afraid to say ANYTHING on these boards cause they dont know when on some whim theyll be the next victim of some mods irrational spite--this forum is becoming more and more about the mods egos and abuse of power then in people being able to feel free to interact.

From what i've seen so far it seems that some of the rules can be 'interpreted' a number of ways...

Having said that, the only brush i've had with a mod was ok. I broke the rules and got treated fairly. Fairly even though all my endorsements were removed - at least i didn't get deted like the other guy :)

Mod in question was ready to discuss things and then cos i can hardly even get on the forums gave me a check list of what NOT to do when invading...although since i crashed and burned i've not tried again...

I can prove there's no mod conspiracy very simply.

If the mods deleted people simply because they didn't like them, Menelmacar would have deleted me in August and Melkor would have deleted me in September-November.

Sal would have deleted me, or had me deleted, after I pointedly did not wish him Merry Christmas. Rep would have deleted me after the fight I had with him on the April Fool's joke. Cogitation would have deleted me months ago (after all, I don't agree with her politics, and I doubt she likes me all that much). God knows what Steph would have done to me over my role in that Calamshan debacle...

Anyway, my mere existence proves that mods need to wait until someone actually does break the rules and ignore a warning before they delete someone. And before someone claims that Siri's hatred of me in August was purely RP, ask her and she'll tell you that she oocly considered me the scum of the universe. (Said classification, I hastily assure you, I did deserve from her.)

I'd be quite impressed if this was the case, what with him being on the opposite side of the world from most of the mods and that holding a person like that is illegal and all.

Then again, I hear that two of those mod types are in the US airforce. Perhaps they used their connections to have Max hauled off to a secret base beneath Cheyenne Mountain or something.

Isn't the fact that there is increasing flow of complaints from all corners of this virtual world about the tyranny of the moderators sufficient? Do you want a signed affidavit?

No, it's proof that there's an ever-growing number of sodding idiots who enjoy spamming, trolling, flaming, harassing, and generally pretending there's some worth to their miserable little lives by trying to be big and make a noise where they have the protection of annonymity, and the ability to post whatever drek they can get away with, all of course whilst screaming at the top of their lungs the supposed 'rights' of free speech, and forgetting altogether that this is a FREE site and that they are here by the grace of Max Barry and his duly appointed Moderators alone.

If it weren't for the idiots who break rules and see any sort of authority as an opportunity to challenge and oppose it, we wouldn't have a need for Moderators or rules or guidelines or the like. This is clearly a case of 'squeaky wheel' syndrome, where the whining of the few overshadows the silent majority who are enjoying this game quite contentedly.

You don't like it? Leave and save the bandwidth for those of us with something worthwhile to contribute, or go set up your own site where you can bitch, whine and moan about the 'injustices' of the world to your wee heart's content.

The rest of us have better things to do than continue to listen to your drivel.

Oh, come on! Just read through the posts on this whole forum. 99% are either inane drivel, uninformed idiocy or bigoted insults. If anything's clogged up, it's this.

OOC: I'm not the one complaining about mod abuse. Please put my remarks in context. Usually folks who complain about their so-called rights being trampled on like to spam forums with inane drivel. I'm sure you can agree to that. If what you say is true (99% of the posts are indeed inane drivel) then the mods can hardly be charged with abuse in this area.

Now I realize why I almost never visit the general forum.

meanwhile I never spammed in my life--my post that was censored was an important news story from the non corporate media about newspeople being forced to sodomize themselves in Iraq--this are all the burning issues of the day

Okay... so... lemme get this straight.

We're CIA operatives from the military-industrial establishment who have not only hacked an Australian server from locations inside the United States and the United Kingdom (which would be a crime in three countries now), not only flown across the world to capture an Australian novelist and ferret him away in black unmarked helicopters to an undisclosed location (another crime), not only tortured him into giving us password access and to update his site on occasion while pretending we don't have snipers and assassins following his every move...

...but we're doing this because we want control of a meaningless (yes, meaningless!) webgame. And yet, even though we have total control because we did all these things, we--for some strange reason--do not delete every individual at the first sight of dissent, do not delete every thread at the first hint of disagreement with our politics, as difficult as they may be to pin down.

One word response:

Okay... so... lemme get this straight.

We're CIA operatives from the military-industrial establishment who have not only hacked an Australian server from locations inside the United States and the United Kingdom (which would be a crime in three countries now), not only flown across the world to capture an Australian novelist and ferret him away in black unmarked helicopters to an undisclosed location (another crime), not only tortured him into giving us password access and to update his site on occasion while pretending we don't have snipers and assassins following his every move...

...but we're doing this because we want control of a meaningless (yes, meaningless!) webgame. And yet, even though we have total control because we did all these things, we--for some strange reason--do not delete every individual at the first sight of dissent, do not delete every thread at the first hint of disagreement with our politics, as difficult as they may be to pin down.

One word response:

Riiiiiight.

Comic relief, most likely.

However, I have actual proof that TRA is part of the Illuminati, and that he is here to innure us to real conspiracies.

MKULTRA,

11 pages have now been spent throwing baseless accusations against the moderation team. Now's your chance to back your words up with facts. So, as I see it, you have three choices:

Say that all this rambling about a "coup" and power abuse was just a joke that went on too long, and drop it.
Present hard evidence here and now.
Leave (quite possibly with help from us).


Throughout this thread you have refused to provide a single fact to back up your accusations and the moderators (and administrators) do not appreciate this and we are growing impatient with this charade. I do not know if you recall Sheol who was deleted by Max for similar activities.

I would highly suggest that your next post contain content. You may not have many more chances.

Bas, I'll be honest here, and if this is flaming, then I apologise in advance. But he is, I'm sorry to say, an unintelligent lunatic. He's obsessing over a previous deletion, and he's too foolish to just move on and enjoy his apparent reprieve from the delete on sight order.

We don't need to hear his reply (it will just be more of the same stupidity). We don't need him around. Sal, end this before it gets any more pitiful. I'm not sticking around any further.

Just some personal advice: use a puppet to do things that might get you deleted, but try to stay away from things that get you banned.

Not like the moderators can't detect what your main nation is or anything.... :roll:I've never seen any nation but the one that was used to carry out the violation deleted, have you? :roll:

1) I only have four things to say in this thread.
2) There doesn't seem to be a reply regarding proof.
3) I do not know whether the mods are being more nasty than before, and so I will wait for proof before making that sort of declaration.
4) "I have nothing to declare but my genius."

Because it's free speech. Believe, this time last year I was always trying to get Parra deleted....didn't work though and Neut nearly deleted me for it. But, it is far far less than it used to be.

yes, actually, i have!!!

I was the one who should have been deted because i 'did the deed'

The other guy with me was deted because he was the 'brain' behind the deed...the mod assumed i was stupid and did what i was told...i'm not totally stupid but stupid enough to go along with something without checking the rules heheheh.

I think (and this is just my personal opinion) that MKULTRA should be given an ultimatum to show his "evidence".
Otherwise he may follow a similar path to Sheol and just wait a couple days to start a new thread once this thread dies.
