What is It Like To Be an FM?(Was "This is Illegal Right

Since this is resolved and the thread has changed to a more interesting topic, I have decided to change it

Original texy begoins after the colon.

I want to double check that this is illegal before reporting it on Getting Help.

From the Zhaucauozian Friendship Regional Message Board.


I'm the ambassador of the region of Hyarmendorath. I'm glad to invite ypu to our region. You'll be received with opened arms


I'd heard that it was against the rules for regions to recruit on the message boards of user created regions. Or at least unless you were a native of that region and had then created your own region and want your "ex-comrads" to join you (which I assure you, no member of Hyar-whachamacallit except for Crybaby Liberals has ever been a native of ZF and the recruiter is the only other member to have even entered ZF)

Is this correct?

Keep in mind that Hyarmendorath was a larger region(three pages, if I recall correctly, on Friday, but is now one nation smaller than us) and as one member of ZF, (at the time a member of the UN, but who either left or was booted) has left already, and this is the second time that the recruiter has entered ZF, I am wondering if this region has it in for us, or is merely desperate as the region shrinks and is using the logic "where one member comes from more might follow).

Also, if this is reportable, which category would it go under?
I'm thinking "Spamming," but I am not positive.

Peace, Truth, and Justice,

As long as they have just one advertisement on the board at any one time, it's OK. If a single region becomes a regular nuisance, that's not OK.

Oh.
*frowns*

I'd heard that it was only the game created that it was legal.

And you're an FM too?

Are Automagfreek and Loop mods also yet?

They would be my next bets.

If I'm not mistaken.. the telegram went out to you both basically at the same time.. so you both really became mods at the same time.. Only difference was that Sirocco responded to the telegram first.. ;)

Yah know, I've been meaning to ask Siro that myself.

Never mind about the lock, I'll just change the thread topic. :twisted:

This topic has been resolved and gone wildly off topic so I'll just lock it now.

I got my telegram from Reploid... it basically just said, 'do you wanna do it?' I've deleted it since... I have a habit of deleting telegrams I've just replied to.

Sirocco..hehe I'd just like to point out it's pointless in locking the topic when it's the mods who are the one's who take the thread off topic.. :lol:

Ya must be very slow Siro, because Netscape crashed on me several times as I tried to change it. :twisted:

Just because I'm a mod, doesn't mean I don't still get all sorts of error messages in my face (blast that Invalid_session... :evil: )
