The Armed Republic of Kwongs has violated my region by posting an UNSOLICIATED message.

Please deal with them accordingly. I do NOT apperciate such things in my region.

I'd invade and take over them, but, I'm afraid there'd be nothing left for me to gloat about...

21 minutes ago The Armed Republic of Kwongs Greetings

We are invading Yhteinen Maailma and The Kingdom of Leviathen, The United Kingdoms, and the IDC. We are asking for REINFORCMENTS if you can render them.

If you can asssist us we would be very thankful. Send any men you can in and endorse "Tactical Core'

WE MUST RAISE AGAINST THESE FOOLS WHO BELIEVE IN PEACE. THE COAILTION OF INVADERS MUST STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. INVASION!!!!!! HELP US AND WE WILL HELP YOU! RISE MY BROTHERS

They are asking us to ENDORSE some bupkis nation I could care less about AND invading another region by recruiting from other regions. This is just as bad as recruiting for one's region!

*BUMP* Why isn't something being done about this rogue n00b? I do NOT appreciate getting unsolicated spam in my region! I would like something to be done. I don't care if this is a freakin' call for help. If the person needed it, they could have posted in II instead of putting this shit in my region!!

If nothing has done about it yet, send it through the Getting Help page.

For me it doesn't look like an ad. Its just a message about wanting help for an invasion.

Its not like he says: "Join region X because we are much nicer". But I will leave that to the mods.

But then again, he can have been warned for exactly what you are asking about. The mods don't need to tell you that they have done it.

It's still an 'ad' because he came in, posted then left two minutes later. He could have also used II to get out the message.

Besides, I do NOT invade other regions. If any of the natives in ALSN acted on this and returned, I'd kick them out. We do not meddle in other player's affairs,

Is it an ad only because he posted and left 2 minuts later?

It's not an ad. It's legal. We probably won't do anything about it if you do request help, as invasions [and therefore, asking for help when it comes to invasions] is part of the game.

Read the wording carefully...

They are the ones doing in invading; they weren't invaded. THis is a RECRUITMENT post, which is no better than any other SPAM or related types of posts. Plus, the person came and left in 2 minutes.

Mainly the nature of the wording.

I reported it in #themodcave last night, because this unwanted spam was placed in many regions, not just yours.

1989 Anti Communist Alliance, 42 Douglas Adams, A New Beginning, A Nice Warm Cave, A Place in the Sun, A silly place, A Slightly Musty Cardboard Box, etc etc etc.

It looks like this individual simply went down the regions list and spammed every regional board with the same recruitment-to-move-to-region-being-
invaded message.

I noticed that too, but the mods are being anal and NOT actually helping us by eradicating the person who did this.

It's SPAM because it's a recruiment post. AFter all, it says that THEY are the ones doing the invading and ask you to join them.

I'd be a little more patient Kryo. Pope Hope did bring in some new evidence of this 'spammer' but it seems right now, that the moderators are really very busy, especially with what happened to the "Getting Help Page". Heck, I've been bumping my "Replacement Sticky Thread" for a week now, but I do understand that they take in thousands of requests to respond to.
