Apparently the nation of Communist Mississippi was just deleted, CM asked me to ask the mods why this occured. :confused:

You should rest assured there will be people rejoicing over this event.

It could be that he just got deleted due to ignoring the issues? But if not then only the mods will know.

Curious. I wonder why myself. IC, I'm happy, OOC, I'm just curious as to why, as there was little reason why he would have been deleted, as far as I know.

Well, CM thinks this occured because some nations accuse him of being FWS, which has been proven to be false, even Myrth acknowledged that he wasn't FWS.

Didn't Myrth say IP information revealed he wasn't FWS?

I mean you can hardly take the word of IDF (Who was likely using forged chat logs, which by the way are so very easy to forge) against IP information.

Myrth already shot IDF's argument down, so what does he do. He probably spent the last few days cooking up some real nice elaborate forged logs. Because he had it out for ole CM, who by the way was my ally. :(

I think it's important to remember that Myrth is a forum moderator and does not have the same access to information that a game moderator does. It could be that Myrth seen no evidence based on the information that a forum moderator can access as opposed to a game moderator. I don't if this is the case or not. I personally have no knowledge of the situation. I just wanted to point out that may be what happened.

When a RL jew condemns a RL fascist, I get very suspicious. I think we all have figured out that CM is a RL fascist.

There is about as much evidence against CM as there is that Iraq has WMDs. (None!)

He's a jew and he has it out for fundamentalist Christians. I think that all members of the NDA region (my region) and most members of CM's league, are that sort, right-wing types. The kind a jew would hate. So anything IDF says must be taken with tremendous cauiton.

Slags has gone to bed. So, I suggest just letting it go for now. If he has more to say on the subject I'm sure he will tomorrow. If not, well, that's the way it goes. You can always contact the admin if you disagree with a decision. I must warn you though that rarely does the admin disagree with a mods ruling. However if you want to give it a try go for it.

admin@nationstates.net

Don't expect a quick response as the admin is usually a few weeks in email back-log.

I could find 10,000,000 people to say Ariel Sharon is Satan himself (of course they'd all be radical muslims or neo-nazis)

Does a bunch of people all saying the exact same thing mean it's true? No, it usually means it's rehearsed, they get together, get their stories straight, and then the conspiracy is sprung.

Yes, and Myrth said CM wasn't FWS. It seems that one mods IP check was overruled by another mods zealous anti-CMism that manifested itself in the form that he took the words of anti-CM folks (surprise they had it out for CM) over an actual IP check.

I think Stephanie made a very good point, that the Mod in question is in bed now and won't be on until tomorrow.
Wouldn't it be better if we stopped making accusations against everyone and give it a break?
Give people a chance to think about what happened.
As of now, I'm neutral and don't support either side.
But I think that Slags probably had a good reason to delete him though.

Slags is gone to bed, so you're not going to get any answers tonight. Leave it alone until tomorrow. Or another idea is post your complaint in the getting help section. If the arguing keeps up, I'm locking the thread.

One last remark then I am off for the night, and will wait until the others get here to reply and the mods chit-chat about this.

You're in Germany 1937, the gestapo takes your neighbor away, do you say, "I'm sure they had their reasons, if the government wants us to know, they'll tell me."

You sure are complacent eh?

Jeebus cheese-gratin' Christ, enough with the jumping to conclusions already. Let me clear up a few things.

1. I work two jobs, I'm a full-time student, I'm struggling to pay bills, I've got an active social life, and I'm getting married in a year. If I don't answer your post in ten minutes, it doesn't mean I don't have answers; it means I don't have time. The only reason you're seeing this here now is because I can't sleep.
2. I did not have it out for Communist Mississippi. The only time I've actually read one of his posts was when he sent it to the mods to see if it was too racy to post on the forums. Honestly, is that the best argument people can come up with the unexplained? "Oooh, I'm not entirely convinced of what was posted; it MUST be a grudge!"
3. IDF did not send me logs. It was another user who requested to remain anonymous.
4. The information I accessed on the Mod Centre was a bit more concrete than what Myrth was capable of digging up on the forum's options. I figured it'd be clear to most that game mods have access to more information than forum mods, but it's clear I was wrong in this respect.
5. There is a chance that the logs I received were doctored, but there was sufficient alternate evidence to suggest otherwise. The person in question mentioned that he "felt like a rat" for bringing this up as well, implying that no animosity existed between this person and the past griefer in question. Also, please don't "remind" me how easy it is to forge chat logs. I'm not an idiot; I know how easy it is to open a text file, press backspace a few times, and type new words using the keyboard (standard with your new iMac!).
6. Nowhere in my post did I say that Communist Mississippi was Fascist White States. Nowhere in any mod's post was it said that Communist Mississippi was Fascist White States. Why did you all immediately jump to that conclusion instead of a scenario in which CM was, say, Marathon or Zoland or another one of our menagerie of DOS lovelies?
7. I remain (less) awesome (than Hack).

Well if they told you, "I have it out for him, kill him!" what would that look like? Always try to portray yourself as kind and loving, and not wanting to hurt people.

So the SS in ww2 could say, "Well we don't want to do this, so don't make it any harder on us by crying, just line up against the wall and don't look us in the eyes." and that would make it right.

If that was supposed to be a rebuttal, I have no idea what you mean or how to respond except by reiterating that I had more links between two griefers than simply a few logs I was sent.
