Ive seen at least two people with a [NS] tag in front of their names. Is there some kind of nation states clan or something? Please explain!

That...would be our dear troll [NS]Commando3. I think it's just an attempt to dodge the wrath of the Mods, or the General denizens, or something. I honestly have no idea.

No, the tag is applied to NationStaters when the name of their nation is already used by a Jolt Forum user. So if someone makes a nation called Keith, it would appear as [NS]Keith, because the forum name Keith already exists.

Would that make the name spelled right or does it mean you intended to misspell the name in one way and misspelled it differently by chance?!?

For the two that responded to my post bad... STFU. :D

(@ Nonconformitism: Beat me to that one :D ) Actually, I think it's just part of the fashion for double (and triple!) negatives in society. For example, this translation from a Serbian fairy-tale: "…and nobody did not never see him again." It's actually right but looks really weird. Don't use double negatives!
(GN—I think the second one is right. Misspelling something wrongly would not be spelling it right. You'd still be misspelling it, but in a different way than you intended to. )
