I'm tired of the Spammers

I'm tired of the spam that several nations have sent The Colonial Entente over the past 2 to 3 weeks. I've reported it to the Get help page 3 times already, and I have not gotten a single response of getting anything done. I'm starting to lose it with these idiots, and might do something harsh that I don't like to do.

Please will someone help me in this problem.

Thanks.

It's possible that they were officially warned without you being notified of it. Some Moderators will take action on a complaint without telling the complainant that anything was done.

When were these Getting Help requests filed and who were the specific nations involved?

The last 2 accusations were made last weekend I believe, and it was General George Custer (me) that made the complaints. It was about suspision of Liar and something (I forget the name) of puppet spamming my region The Colonial Entente, and spreading negative propaganda to other regions that we don't affiliate with.

The past couple of days actually, there have been several nations created that negatavily effects our region.

TCE Executive Slob
TCE Comedy Club
TCE No Invasions ever
colonialententesucks

Then this morning I got a telegram from a nation in china saying keep your nations out of china, and don't spam here again. Yet none of our nations never went to china except for TCE executive slob. Which I couldn't see what he had post because it was taken off the RMB.

This has been happining for weeks. I'm trying to build a region, and yet I keep on getting idiots doing this. I'm spending more time reporting to mods than I am recruiting.

The nation colonialententesucks would have had an inflammatory name, and I believe would have merited a flat-out deletion.

All the nations listed are still alive. TCE Executive is in the RR, Comedy Club is in Aurora, No Invasions ever is in Lotus Eaters, and colonialententesucks is also in the RR.

Mind you, I didn't check the populations of the other nations, but colonialententesucks has a pop of only 6 million. If he was there even a few days ago, his pop should be over 15 million. I think this indicates that they've been revived for investigative purposes.

Not a mod, though, so I can't say for sure. You can be sure that it's at least getting looked into now that Coggy's seen your post.

yes, about 9 hours ago it says i received a telegram from TCE No Invasions Ever, which I suspect telegrammed the same message to all in the region. I still have it in the TG box, if it is needed.

Actually, I'll go check my puppet in the region to see if it got the same message.


edit: yep, got the same telegram, puppet name is: Public Relations


another edit: should I throw down with a getting help report for this, or just leave it here and let the mods check it if they need to when they want?

I just want this problem fixed. I'm tired of the spam puppets, its hurting moral, and Its hurting recruiting. Can a mod please look at this and see if its the same person, and get him bannished from the game or something.

I had reported this nation for spamming TCE in the region via the GHP minutes after it was created.

Has anything been done or even looked at for this problem?

It is quite a disturbing problem; I am not certain, but fairly sure that impersonating a person and/or an organisation is a deatable offence.

This seems to have been happening quite a lot, and not just in The Colonial Entente; I (as a raider, not a TCE commander) was impersonated (more as a joke, than to deceive, I think) as was another in The Old Raiding Club.
