Why was Exterminance deleted? (Still not answered)

02-11-2003, 06:32
Why was Exterminance was deleted? Also, I've been watching the region "Stormfront" (That's where he was) and it seems like an awful lot of nations there bite the dust. Do they have a higher rate of violating the rules or do they just let their nations die from inactivity?
02-11-2003, 08:42
As far as I know, I never broke a rule. I can't help but find it suspicious that it happened after I joined the Stormfront region, though. Somebody with a personal agenda waging vendetta against the region?

You may notice that nations bite the dust from a given region more frequently than others for two reasons:

1.) The region tends to misbehave (as individual nations) more.

2.) They develop a reputation for misbehavior and are therefore more likely to have mods watching their nations; ergo, they are more frequently caught breaking the rules when they do so (we don't catch everybody all the time), and therefore get deleted more often.

You deleted my UN Member nation, which had not done anything to merit deletion. I'm not happy about that. Also, I'm not aware of any heavy troublemakers from the Stormfront region.

Just thought of something, but wasn't your national animal the "NationStates Moderater"? Maybe that is why now that I stop and think about it. But I'd still like to know for sure why you had your nation creamed.

Bah, I would've changed that ages ago if I thought of a better animal... I only changed it to that when some mod changed it to 'cute puppy dogs'. And since then, I hadn't been able to think of an appropriate animal.

Parra, they are on a 'zero tolerance' stance for people that hold certain views. He got axed because of what he believed, plain and simple. Anybody else will be judged by less harsh standards.
02-11-2003, 20:08
I was the Vercingetorixians until my computer crashed some months ago. I made a request to reinstate some of my old nations, but have yet to hear a response. I had only one instance of infraction with the mods where my animal, the "Wild Bantu" was somehow objectionable. Most people didn't know what a Bantu was, except one mod who had an issue with it. I changed it and thought the issue dropped. I wonder if my "forbidden" ideologies merit a permanant ban on an otherwise unremarkable nation.

Because you are overly careful and you don't become too strident in the expression of your opinions. The point is that we shouldn't have to watch what we say this closely, it's selective moderating.

Nah, I'm not overly careful...I have a big mouth. (But I digress.) I just don't always talk about the same issue is all. Since of have so many unsual views I have more to talk about.

That....was an awful long time ago that they changed your animal. I've had lots of neat national critters since then. It ain't that hard to come up with something.

Thanks, Parra. I was unaware of this Lazarus region being the place where old nations are reborn. And I'd also like to thank the mystery mod who breathed new life into my nations. Thanks.

Swahili, a Bantu language, has 8 genders. Spanish has 2. You didn't know anything about the Bantu other than they were African and thus, according to your ideology, inferior.

1. You have no clue as to whether or not he knows this. You're making a lucky guess based on the probability of an average person knowing such a thing being unlikely.

2. White Nationalism is not about superiority vs. inferiority. It is about our right as Whites to live in an environment which is not under the control of beings which are detrimental towards our wellbeing.

Even if all races are equal in their abilities, one race supplanting another will lead to the extinction of a race. You know very well that Asians have higher average IQs than us, but we want seperation from them as well as from Blacks. So much for superority vs. inferiority being the main issue.

Duh! There won't be a White race, that's what will happen.

And I only posted this thread to find out why a certian nation was deleted, not to have a debate about race.

So basically, there is no practical benefits. The only benefit is white race in pure form which has no real benefits. Hardly worth throwing aways valuable freedoms for.

Personally, I have no idea. I doubt, however, that it was because of his national animal. Someone filed a complaint in the Mod Centre about it, and I flagged it as 'Ignored', as I felt that deleting a nation over such a thing would be silly, and that forcably editing his animal would be equally silly.

I don't know who did it, but I'm pretty sure it was for something more substantial than having 'NationStates Moderators' as his animal.

And I'm very annoyed that my flagship nation, with my favorite screen name, billion-plus population, highest post count, and position of significance in the Exterminance/Benevolentino syzygy has been deleted... so, would the moderator responsible PLEASE explain why this has been done?

I think a nation is at least entitled to an explanation in such circumstances. Not reinstatement or justification, just a brief statement about the grounds on which the action was taken, with a reference to the particular offense.

I'm thinking otherwise. At this point, the most plausible explanation is that some opponent of WN has been promoted to the status of Moderator by being helpful, as per the guidelines on how to become a Moderator -
How Do I Become a Moderator? (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27307)
If you regularly make helpful posts in the forums, especially the Technical Forum, the mods and I will notice you. Once you've established a reputation, you can let one or two moderators know that you are interested in modding. The next time we want to add more moderators, we will discuss various candidates and make a decision. If you are chosen, I will e-mail you an invitation.

You should not hassle the mods, or be too demanding: this will disqualify you. We want moderators who are interested in helping other players, and able to deal with the quite stressful job of handling large numbers of player complaints and problems without losing their cool. To become a moderator you must demonstrate that you fit that description.
- and, now a Moderator, is using that power to carry out a personal agenda. In which case, an explanation is likely not forthcoming.

If this proves to be the case, is it possible for my Exterminance nation to be restored to its former status of Postmaster-General? Or is the postcount permanently set back?

Exactly, so if he made a mistake and never received a warning he can know how not to make the same mistake, otherwise he is in the dark. That happens a lot, people get deleted for obscure, or vague, reasons.

Nope, when they bring a nation back from the dead the pount count is back to 0 and the day it was founded to set to the day it was brought back. Which BTW someone did bring your nation back. I'm still curious as to why it was deleted in the first place though.

Well, I can enlighten you a little.

No.

You posted your comments on IQ and race and I refute your conclusion.

IQ is not a measure that can be applied in the manner in which you do. It is not a generalisation.

As an example you could have a Massi tribesman that by chance has the most analytical mind on earth. However without the knowledge of calculus for example he would not be able to answer those questions. This is simplified but the basics are there and are appicable.

The data derived from these tests are strictly limited.

Of course if a mod asks for this to be moved elsewhere I will be happy to comply.

I would be happy to debate this particular issue if you feel up to it...
