NationStates Jolt Archive

Many times I read about nations that have been deleted because of "offensive" names. I just read a post that said a nation was deleted because it had "ass" in its name. This is appalling. Not only is "ass" only a piece of harmless slang, it is only slang for a body part that everybody possesses. If one is offended by their own physiology, then I fear for their mental health. This is not the point however. The point is that deleting these nations is going too far. I really cannot imagine that the moderators have so much time on their hands that they must fill it by deleting any nation with a name that remotely resembles something that is almost offensive. In a forum where people are allowed to post race-hate and other such things, it seems incredible that nations can be deleted for having a name like "dogs bottom".

1. This matter is being discussed by the mods.
2. There are children who use this site, including several school classes.

All I can say is that there is no point in moaning. This is a private site and we have to abide by the owners rules, which are enforced by the mods. If we don't like it then we can leave. However, if you stay, then you must abide by the rules and accept the decisions whether you like it or not (as long as it isn't an abuse of mod powers).

Sorry!

If you wish to file a complaint against the mods.. please do so by contacting admin@nationstates.net

Thank You!
