Spam problems in anime-related regions

I am doing this on behalf of Anime Town 2, as well as our loose allies Japan, Anime, AnimeOnDVD, and other such regions (here's a list - FinalFantasy, Final Fantasy Land, Pokemon, possible others I may have missed). We have been getting repeat-spammers. We kick them, they come back. We ban, they create another account. This has been going on for close to a week now, and we're sick of it. Here's a list of nations that have been problematic for our region and others, most of which i believe to be multiple accounts. I hope and pray you would do something about this...like IP banning.

GINDUMAN
Koreafornias Allies
Vilita (note: Tropics of)
Radical Eds Freinds
Stabafornia
AnimeKillers
76 Trombones HAHA8*
Typical kherr*
A Better Day

Hells gates are open
The Demonic Scourge
LASHES FOR ALL


*These nations have not affected my own region, Anime Town 2, but through region-bouncing I highly suspect these as spammers.

i think i'm gonna take ninamori's advice and implement a regional password. I really hate to do this but it seems like the only solution for now. =(

I sent a message to the Mods (on several levels) to get those regions you kicked out, banned. I shall do a follow-up message.

No need for a password.

If we implement a regional password, nations cannot move here, but they can still view the regional homepage, correct? If this is the case, perhaps the reasoning behind this can be explained in the World Factbook Entry and we can encourage legitimate nations to telegram you for information involving possible entry. Of course, there would have to be some sort of screening process in order to prevent a false nation from getting inside, but I would hate to see potential nations turned away because of this.

Um, yes, thank you.

:: bows towards the mods :: Thank you for what you have done so far - it is greatly appreciated. There is no more spam as of yet...but no guarantee from the current users spamming our region. I really hope we must not implement a password-protected region. Again, arigato (thank you).

Alright, I've just gone through that list and smacked down the ones confirmed to be the same guy. (A couple of them are possibly other people, it's sometimes hard to tell.) I'll be keeping a lookout- if further incarnations appear, feel free to either post them here, to the Getting Help list, or in a telegram to myself directly.

Picking on a group of people for their interests is bad enough. Picking on a group of people for their interests in a game where one of the moderators happens to share that interest is practically begging for deletion. ;)

:D A sincere "arigato" to you then!!!!

:D This is pretty much why I started our Regional Forums, and I'm glad we have the forums, as our communications would have more or less been blocked out.

Thank you very much. I know I speak for everyone in every anime-related region when I say that we are immensely grateful for your help. Once again, I give you my thanks.

These people have so much time on their hands that they want to spend time with us xD. Its just so funny that an individual would take time off from regular life, to come to a game, and try to ruining it for the rest of us. But I have to say. We must be popular :D
These spammers are here to crash our party, but we just keep on partying. If their ignorance brings me happiness, I am a really happy guy. I hope that we can all just look at their posts and say
"Haha, you hate anime, soooo, do I really care?"

This is Kaikyaku, in my now-revived, primary account. I plan on letting my temporary Kaikyaku account die...

Anyways, Thank you, but the problem is not solved. :(

Telegram I recieved today:

The Republic of ANIME SUCKS ALOT
Received: 3 hours ago
GUESS WHAT YOU ANIME RETARD,
I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS,
I HAVE THE WHOLE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC IN ON MY EFFORTS. YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT US. US FRENCH CANADIANS HATE THE JAPANESE ANIME FREAKS ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE HATE THE AMERICANS.
GOOD DAY TO YOU,
FROM A FRENCH CANADIAN

Last I checked, I was VERY good friends with several French Canadians. They're very well educated...in fact, they like anime. They're also by far more educated...

And another on my Kaikyaku account:
The Republic of PROJECT CHAOSX
Received: 3 hours ago damn you, diplomat. your meddling is of no place in our project.
It's true, the leaders of our region are myself and our founder. I'm not the UN delegate because I don't want to be in the UN.



More have come, most likely from the same accounts. It would be wonderous for an IP ban at this time. Speaking of time, this is really sucking a LOT more time than i'm really wanting to put into it, but this is SICK!


Another List of spammers:

Republic Of Replicia

THIS IS EXPENDABLE

Save the telegrams and report them via the Getting Help (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=help) page.

In this case, Goober, I've permitted people from the affected regions to post straight to here since this is an ongoing problem and the player has been decreed DEAT-on-sight.

The latest batch of spammers have been disposed of.
