This just showed up on Area 51's Public Board:

102 minutes ago The Incorporated States of Awe and Shock I'm sorry to bother you friendly folks with a advertisement, but I would like to welcome everyone here to come join The Five Pacifics. We are a new region that brings together nations from all over the NS world. We are just starting to grow, so we also have many open positions in the cabinet for people to fill. Any questions or problems, just ask me or Intel-Pentium. Thanks for your time!

this is specifically against the NS rules to drop into Regions, and post recruitment spam on their public boards like thes. Recruitment is to be by telegrams only. i'd like Awe and Shock warned against this behavior.

Thank you!

Last I checked this is a Getting help offence.

Yes, it is.

I've submitted reports for Area 51 in the past. The board moves really fast though, and they've (or it's I forget if it was one or two) not been dealt with in time, unless the mods managed to get to it in time.

What I personally usually do for offenses that need attention fairly soo is change the title to "request for mod verification", then submit the report complete with URL, to the Help Page under "Spamming".

Edit: Although I'm only a player, I just checked, and for what my word is worth, Labrador's claims are true.
