NationStates Jolt Archive

My nation's been deleted! One minute I was happily posting away (only in General - I've never done any of the RPing or anything, so I won't have been invaded or anything like that), and the next I'm told I'm not allowed on the page, and when I logout and try to log back in, it tells me my nation (Smug Wankers) has been removed! What's going on?

*tumbleweed blows, bells toll, crickets chirp, owls hoot*

Anyone?

Maybe because of the name?

And, jeeze... it'd only been 20 minutes when you bumped this.

Sorry, I'm used to this board going too fast for me to keep up.

I didn't know there was a restriction on swearing in country names. I've seen nations called things like Total Bastards, so why not Smug Wankers?

Certain moderators have different judgements on what they think is passable and what they thnk isn't. It's all relative.

Did you grief, spam, flame...etc?

Not to my knowledge. Certainly not when compared to a lot of the regulars.

EDIT: Oh well, I suppose there's no point in worrying about it - you can't get a removed nation restored, can you? And it was only a new one anyway - I'd only just founded it to replace my previous nation, which had been deleted after I was away for a month.

Moderator deleted nations cannot be restored.

Your old nation that died because of inactivity can be restored. Go to the Help page and ask for your nation to be restored.

Moderator deleted nations -can- be restored -if- the moderators choose to do so. It's happened before, after all. Just doesn't happen usually, due to folks tend to get deleted for a reason.

As for the other, yes - nations that have died due to inactivity just require a request being put in via getting help or #themodcave if mods are active and able when you happen to log in there on IRC.

Best of luck with it all.

I'm not sure I have the patience. I was only getting the same old issues back again anyway. I'm only really still here to enjoy the arguments in General...
