NationStates Jolt Archive

i found somthing i want to use for a flag but i want to run it by the mods should i post it here?

If it were me, I'd post the URL into a Getting Help request asking for review just to make sure, though a mod may say it's okay here.

i just wondering what a mod thinks i should do

I am not a mod, so I know I should stay out of this, but hey; I will be a mod some day :cool:
I am now a FAQ quoter:

What can't I post?
Any content that is:

obscene
illegal
threatening
malicious
defamatory
spam
This applies to your nation's name, motto, and other customizable fields, any messages you write, images you post, or any other content you upload or link to NationStates. If you do, your nation will be deleted. See the site's Terms & Conditions for details.

Also prohibited is the practice of "griefing." Griefing is playing with the primary aim of annoying or upsetting other people. If you do this, the game moderators may take action against you.

Does that apply to my nation's flag?
You betcha. In fact, we're much stricter on nation flags than we are on forum posts, because they're not open for challenge and debate. If you want to make a political point, don't use your flag -- use the forum, where other people have a right of reply.

Just upload it here as an attachment.

And Carinthe, do you have a copy of the FAQ stored somewhere? What you quoted was an old version. The stuff about flags has been moved to the flag upload page.

No, I simply copied it from this site. :p

I am not a mod, so I know I should stay out of this, but hey; I will be a mod some dayBull, you don't know the rules well enough, in a post earlier in anothe thread you asked for you account to be deleted in certain circumstances,

YOU DON'T KNOW THE " MODS DON'T DELETE ACCOUNTS ON REQUEST " RULE !

HEATHEN !

I am a good FAQ quoter. I can find quotes in our own FAQ, Myrth hasn't even heard of :p

I was refering to my own deletion, because I one day too might become evil, if mass ejection of puppets is against the rules. I have about 75 puppets hanging around. Please stay on topic ;)

No, I simply copied it from this site. :p

So it is. Is it still on the flag upload page, too?

It referes to the etiquette (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/28659/page=faq#etiquette), where I got my quote from.




Create Your National Flag
You can create an image on your computer and upload it as your nation's flag.

Your flag must be:

in JPEG (.jpg) format
about 107x71 pixels in size
no larger than 10KB
appropriate. This means conforming to site etiquette (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/28659/page=faq#etiquette) and being suitably flag-like. Images likely to cause widespread offense (e.g. nudity, swastikas) are prohibited, and your nation may be deleted if you post them.

Please Note: You are replacing one uploaded flag with another. Your browser may not realize the image has changed and show you the old version it has cached instead. If you still see the old flag after uploading, refresh the page to clear your browser's cache.

Please stay on topic ;)I am bested in fair combat, good Knight, :p

i hope i'm doing this right

Yes, that's offensive and not allowed.

Hows that offensive?

Hows that offensive?

According to the FAQ quoted by Carinthe, that flag would be defamatory against minority groups.

Hows that offensive?
With apologies to Myrth, I should clarify.

According to the FAQ quoted by Carinthe, that flag would be defamatory against minority groups.
Correct.

"Offensive" is a subjective term. The NationStates Terms and Conditions disallow any of the following:

obscene
illegal
threatening
malicious
defamatory
spam


In this case, saying "Guns don't kill people, Dangerous minorities do" qualifies as "defamatory". It may also qualify as "malicious" and (in some locations) "illegal".

--The Modified Democratic States of Cogitation

According to the FAQ quoted by Carinthe, that flag would be defamatory against minority groups.

Damn I hate Political Correctness.

Too frikkin bad.
