Why was alphakz deleted? Please give me a definition of spam.
I feel I was unjustly deleted because of personal relationships between longtime members and the mods. Please at least appear unbiased!

It was deleted for the same reason Alphaks was deleted: Spamming regional happenings.

I'd suggest you stop now.

I telegrammed you a fairly extensive explanation of spamming Regional Happenings. Give it a good read, and for cry eye, check out the Moderation Forum before you try any more invasion tactics.

what exactly is spamming

Spam/SPAM: Off-topic, irrelevant and multi-posts that clog the server. This includes posting lots of smilies which is known as Smilie Spam. Also akin to spamming is Post-whoring which is when a player posts anything just to increase the postcount. Going in and out of a region and hence filling up the regional events board with departing and arriving messages is known as Events Log Spamming and is not allowed. Spamming to the point where you get deleted is known as Klamathing. Spamming in the forums should be reported through the Moderation forum, and In-game, through the Getting Help Page.

thanks theres a whole lot of bias going on in this game!

If you're kind, helpful, and level-headed, you may have what it takes to be a mod.

Whatever happened to this type of guidelines??...no WARNING nothing 2 nations in one day!

Read This Thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=141907)

It is the regional happenings you spammed. It really is open and shut, you also spammed other regions that you were reported for but didn't make it onto that thread.

Don't you guys get sick of being spam guards??? Why cant I come and go from regions as I please?
And one last thing what is with the fake nice nonsense and then like an old busybody with nothing to do you mess with people just playing this game. I mean this is silly I had thought we were interacting well then you guys get all nasty !

Becuase that's my job.

Play by the rules and there's no problems. Break the rules and Bad Things happen. Trying to shift the blame to the Mods or other players is a pointless exercise, and can potentially lead to more Bad Things.

Like what even more biased treatment? I just want to enjoy the game too ya know! I am sure my nations will be unfairly marked now because I am new and I don't have a close relationship with you guys.
And Guvner what about this part:And one last thing what is with the fake nice nonsense and then like an old busybody with nothing to do you mess with people just playing this game. I mean this is silly I had thought we were interacting well then you guys get all nasty !

its all very well coming and going, its just the frequency that people are complaining about, when the entire (or close to) regional happenings is taken up by you jumping in and out of a region (slowing down the servers) and within seconds repeating the action, you can expect people to get a little aggitated no?
unless you are having some form of epileptic attack with the mouse in which case, like me, i suggest you get a TFT monitor (they help alot) it may be better for you not to migrate quite so often.


P.S. if getting a new montor doesn't help i suggest you stop using the computer altogether

alphaks, playing this game is okay, spamming regional happenings is annoying, and against the rules.
learn the rules, and you won't get deleted.
as for close relations, trust me, i really don't have any mods in my pocket, i think there's even a bunch who just love to see me gone.
but as long as i play by the rules, they can't get me :twisted:

I didn't intent to spam anything. Why cant I post recruiting messages and what not? I have no reason to cover tracks or any of that..I think it has to do with my arrogance toward the RRA which as you know I was once a part of. I was only playing my part-being a raider.
But sky skimmer can just say I spammed because she/he is Annoyed ...What were the words"Alphakz has been annoying people for a long time?"
So if I am annoying you'll report me? And if I am quiet like a lamb and just shut up I can live??? I feel like the leader of Hamas or something!
Sorry you don't like my personality. Please cut me some slack here.

as you know, i am sky skimmer, and i just said that spamming regional happenings was annoying, and against the rules.
the mods just do what they volunteered for, to make sure this game stays fun for everyone.
just move on, you now know what you did wrong, learn from it.
it's okay to invade, but you just need to know the rules on invading, and one of those is, not to spam the regional happenings of regions.

AdSpam: Spamming other people's regional messageboards with adverts for your region. The only places where you are allowed to put advertisements are the Gameplay forum or the regional messageboards of the feeder regions (The Pacifics, The Rejected Realms and Lazarus). And even then, don't over-do it. Report AdSpam using the Getting Help Page.

you can't put regional ads in lazarus, just the 5 pacifics and the RR, and the gameplay forum ;)

I'm just copy pasting the term from the Glossary of Forbidden Actions, which is the first stickey in the Moderation forum.

Alphaks, I sent you the "busy body" stuff so you'd know what the complaints were about and what defined spamming regional happenings.

We report those things on auto-pilot, like we report offensive names and abusive telegrams. They're against the rules and we report them, that's it.

I interacted with you because you are a lively and non-vindictive invader.

I wouldn't have sent you those telegrams if I didn't like you as a player, I would have left you to protest against the Mods in ignorance and confusion.

Thanks Guvner I just feel like I am under incresed scrutiny after I conquered Academia...I had 1 1/2 billion people in Alphaks and never had a problem before the Academia thing...
01-05-2004, 12:15
ah there you have it! tis the people! overcrowding! they NEEDED deleting..




sorry couldn't help that. i'm just in a bit of a playful/stupid mood :D .
no offence intended.
but seriously now. it isn't likely that you will get your nation back unfortunately. you'll just have to start all over..

Mods get lots of complaints, they deal with them when they can, the various spamming complaints had built up and just happened to hit home after Academia. It might look like conspiracy but it wasn't a magic bullet I promise you.

If players like me and Crazy could get people deleted, Franco would never have kept the Pacific for longer then a week and there would be no nations left who type in capitals.

We saw you take Academia but haven't even had a conversation about whether or not to try and get it off you. Just check up on the rules, conquering a region is a big deal, and it does draw a lot of attention. You have to know what you can and can't do.
01-05-2004, 12:44
There was no conversation about taking it back because you know I would have changed the password near the update and mailed the password to the natives then. I could have had it forever.
I just would have appreciated a warning before getting killed thats all.
No hard feelings Guvner...
