Americans Only...

19-12-2003, 05:06
recently my other country "Americans Only" was deleted by the mods because of its motto. I was actually getting on this evening to cave into the political pressure and change my motto

what steps do I need to take to bring back my country and change the motto?

You can't, sorry. It was deleted for rule breaking, and chances are you were warned multiple times about it. It's gone forever.

Out of curiosity, what was the motto?

even thought I was warned, I felt like my motto was not understood. I felt like I did a great job defending my motto in that it was not a racist comment (it may have been a nationalist comment, but not racist).

Eventhough I disagreed with the decision by the Mods for me to change n my motto, I was still going to do that this evening to stop all the t-grams sent by people who did not understand what I was saying.

What do I need to do to bring back "Americans Only"?

I also want to point out that until this week after the complaints of people who are not even in my former region, the Mods probably didn't even know I existed. I have never raised hell on the forums or mesage boards with Americans Only for the 4 months she was a nation.

Thanks,

It is probably best that I do not repeat or re-type the motto.

We all understood perfectly, hence your other nation being deleted.

Fine. Oh well. The rules are rules, and there are rarely exceptions.

They warned you, and you ignored their warnings to take the motto down. Why should they reward that kind of behavior?

The mods don't ressurrect nations of people who break the rules.
Except... only very rarely... only twice in the history of NS.

You were given plenty of opportunity to change your motto - had you even changed it and then argued that you shouldnt have had to, your nation would not have been deleted.

As it stands, your nation was deleted for rules violations - changing your motto back to what it was before a Mod changed it and warned you is not wise - and unfortunately for you, the policy is that nations deleted for rules violations stay deleted.
