Mod Alert spammer
America Inc has been spamming alot of regions, can someone please stop him? Shoud I have filed this in the Getting help page?
Yep, since this is a game issue and the spamming isn't in the forums.

I've already reported him.
I believe the "Getting Help" page is the correct place to report this, as it is not a forum issue.
The regions which have been spammed are "000", "0 New Nations of Nudity", "Alliance of Socialist States", and (to a lesser extent) "New Meritocracy" and "Atlantic".

You have spammed, I checked it out for myself. You also tried to enter The New Mercia with spamming in mind, luckily it was passworded. Or, let me guess, after spamming several regions you wished to settle down? Oh, what's this?

You are no different to the others. I think you have done enough to receive an IP ban. For a UN nation with 649m pop., that is a sad fate indeed, but you chose it.
EDIT: I think someone should lock this thread to prevent flames.

Is that the way you wish to play this game? A new deletion and IP ban every couple of days? You're not going to get much fun from that. And this nation is just a puppet, so spamming and flaming its inbox won't do you much good, the bulk of my communications go through other nations. Your suicide here really is quite futile.

This could perhaps also be considered an exploit of a bug in the game?
He seems to have found a way to flood the regional happenings without actually leaving the region, it is just filled with messages about him joining it. Also, it has allowed him to post a message that is blank, causing the tables to go mad in the regional boards of Alliance of Socialist States.

Remotely shutdown his computer, initiate a format of drive C, just delete all the data, anything along those lines if he has windows.
Oh, and popup on his screen that he is a muppet.

Not long, Violet will do her stuff in a day or so. The deletion was just an interim measure. Some spammers I had deleted came back after the first time too, but never came back the second time. The system is slow, but it works. 8)
I'm back!
And with just as much spam as before, it appears. I don't think the moderators will appreciate the creation of an account dedicated to spamming. You have been reported to the game moderators.

Indeed. It has been shown that merely deleting the nations as they appear is not enough to deter this person. I suspect he/she will soon discover that evading an IP ban is not as easy as he/she expected...

I've been spammed again by America Inc Forever
Yeah me to,and he is spamming about a region every 5 seconds now,kinda sad when your watching a spamming in progress,you know what the end result will be
Once again, I also received ten spam telegrams from this nation. I understand that others have already filed reports on the "getting help" page, so I have not done so myself. However, I wish to request that this person's IP address be banned from the game.

I can confirm that, it has spammed the Pacific, 000, Alliance of Socialist States, 0 New nations of nudity, Eternity, Australia, Metal Bass, Blue Moon, Greater Nova York, Asian Alliance, The Perfect Circle, Scotland, and is currently resting in Indonesia while it sends out spam telegrams. I have just received some.
Someone mentioned being able to perform a remote reformatting of that guy's HDD, given an IP address. Now I realise that is radical, but if Admin had that kind of power . . .

Question to Moderators: is there a three day backlog of alerts? The regions for which I am responsible are locked down, but even so, the telegram thing is making me somewhat impatient. Luckily, I have many puppets through which I am now handling my communications, but even so, this is a most unwelcome intrusion.
