Franco Mini-Me's
There are currently a lot of nations circulating that have national names very much alike to that of Francos Spain, should they be banned or are they doing nothing wrong?
I am not pro Franco or anything, but I can't have respect for people who do that kind of stuff.

really? It's possible.. sorry
*quietly disappears behind one of the forums corners*
If the nations are being defamatory, then they'll be deleted.
Impersonating another player isn't strictly against the rules. Impersonating one with the intention of griefing/spamming etc. is, as is impersonating a moderator.
How does it stand if somebody impersonates someone who later becomes a mod?

Names like Francos of Spain and Francos Ass Pain...
I think there funny, but I dislike FS's policy, so I'm not objective on the mocking FS issue.

As long as they don't pretending to be, or impersonating someone.. fine by me. This attack of the clones, is just parody, it's humor.

Well, Francos ass pain has already been tossed since that was created just to annoy he got the boot
I'm back. Not that there is a double signfication of my nations name :wink:
Every nation with a name that looks like Francos Spain is created to annoy, they also often post things (for example, just 20 minutes ago a nation called Francos Train posted, 'hop on to the train to the rejected realms' (or something) that's not funny that's annoying.)
Similiar to Francos?
Like Quantrix and Quantrraxx?
Potato, potahto. Legal is as legal does.

Thanks... this thread is great. I needed a good laugh tonight. I laughed so hard I cried...

I like the play on words. Although I have to admit it is borderline a personal attack. Francos of Maine?
Franko the Wanko is one of my favourites :lol:

At first, this was almost cute, but now it's really starting to get annoying.

And a few of the nations which have names strikingly close to mine (who also mimic my national flag and national title) have been moving around making posts pretending to be me (and actually fooling some dim folks who didn't look close enough.)

The Dominion of Francos Spam

lol, seems to me you have quite some fans out there, franky ;)
So, what's the problem with them anyway? You know, imitation is the fondest form of flattery! :twisted:
Imitating a nation to get those nations who support them to stop supporting them is absolutly griefing.
I think it's really stupid what these mini-me's are doing, don't they realize that it will only have effect against them, I am getting rather annoyed by them and already don't like the way the PA has spammed everything recently and I don't think i'm the only one.
Don't begin that i'm pro-francos or something because I was in the attack and I tried to get a spy inside (which failed (duh.)) I am just trying to look at this from a objective viewpoint.

the pa haven't spammed anything, those little franky's have nothing to do with us..
Oops, accidently posted that under my puppet.
Sure that the opposition of Franco is spamming, all over NationStates they are asking for help, that's spam in my eyes.

And when Francos is sending T-grams to tell nations to endorse him, that isn't spam? I think it is the same thing, and propaganda as well as t-gramming nations for support is part of the game.
For the record, I am in the resistance, but I do think the Francos Mini-mes are a little annoying, especially the ones pretending to be him. However, they have every right to exist as long as they aren't flaming, I suppose.

What??
SOOO you saying we can't go around and rally troops to our call. Well we could also count asking for endorsements, Or posting on the regional. Heck while we're at it why not just get rid of any kind of communication.
Sorry got carried away :oops:
Get real. And I'm not about to stop rallying troops for a good cause.
Who cares if it's for a good cause, if the salvation army would send spam to all hotmail accounts it would be spam for a good cause, would that make it less worse? No, it's still spam, same thing counts here.

'francos, dinner's ready!' it''s only posted once so it's not spam and they're reasonably kind...

well ... let's face it. Franco IS an ass-pain! So, what's wrong with stating it?!
Looking at your age you are just saying what everybody else is saying, n00b.

It's this thing called flaming. That's a term for repeatedly posting insults directed directly a person.
It's illegal, and can get you banned
