NationStates Jolt Archive

The nation "Checkoslovakia" recently TGed me telling me my proposal was too long (advice noted), signing with "Checkoslovakia
Game Moderator". However the style seemed rather un-MODlike, I checked it out, and low and behold, the nation on the other end of that link does not have a "Game Moderator" tag on it's page. Didn't acctually think this was legal.


Here is the TG in full:

I don't mean to critisize your proposal, but it is so long, no one will even take the time to read the whole thing. Just a little advice: Keep it short and to the point.

Checkoslovakia
Game Moderator

Hope this helps

I'm thinking DEAT.

Please file a Getting Help (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=help) report. Three reasons:

1) This is an in-game problem, not a forum problem.
2) We prefer to have an official record that someone complained about this.
3) I do not yet have full Game Mod access, so I can't do anything about this right now. Therefore, you need to bring this to the attention of another Game Mod.

is it as bad as the mods laziness? ;)

mmm, yeah, probably..

guess i should go to bed earlier..
can't even think logically right now..

Please keep the telegram in question safe in your inbox for at least a week, although in this case it should not take long. The Real McCoy Game Moderators would need to check before taking any action.

Don't you just need to ask someone for the Mod Centre password?

Don't you just need to ask someone for the Mod Centre password?

For security reasons, each GM has a unique User/Password for the Mod Centre. This also provides better logging. Thus, another GM cannot (or at least should not) give their User/Pass to these guys. [violet] will send them the info before too long.

Aaah, right. All very technical.
I'm intrigued by all this... just how does it all work? When a mod views a nation, can they see some extra options that are invisible to ordinary players? Eject from UN, Delete, etc. or is it done from something like the regional controls page?

i wondered that would be interesting wouldn't it...

It is more of a Regional Controls sort of page, there is a specialised interface which allows nations to be brought up and have various functions performed with respect to them. Naturally, I have no access to it.

Hehehe, you make it sound like the promotions were a scam... :P

The mods are in several different regions....Space Sector RPRA and Titan being the most prominent ones. Besides, that region doesn't exist.

We're in so much trouble when Neut gets on :oops:

I'll say....Ah well, if you enter an inaccurate name/password in the Mod Centre it probably shows you goatse or something. ;)

I was just curious as to the URL....*acts innocently*

Actually, I'm the one you need to watch out for in regards for things like this, because this is closer to the tech of the site, and where I get pissed off.

Now, I just need to decide what to do (and no, there won't be any punishments) . . . Obviously, I do not approve of attempts to access any portions of this site to which you should not have access, and anything (*ahem*) that might happen to you due to that is your own fault.

Remember, I can be a malicious bastard, and there could be boobytraps scattered around, and if there are, trust me, you DON'T want to find them.

Actually, given that the answers to the hardest riddles are always the simplest possible, the mod center is probably located somewhere ridiculously simple. Not that I encourage people to piss Salusa off. Don't do it. Really.

Really really.

And you thought Neut was a hardass. :shock:

One can only guess when a mod snaps, when players start trying to guess the url to the modcentre :twisted:

ANd he did *imply* that he have access to at least view the code, so possibly he just changes it and [violet] uploads it.

I refuse to confirm or deny any powers of mine.

I may not even be able to edit issues . . . it could just be a big lie . . . .
