NationStates Jolt Archive

.

I didn't quite understand what you said, but I think after reading it slowly I got it. Basically, there are nation names which are questionable in how mature they are, no? If that's the case, unless they are in violation of the rules pertaining to rascism, or flagrant disrespect, I don't believe there's anything that can be done against them, or that the game mods are willing to do against them.

NationStates has a fine line between the unacceptable and freedom of speech, and depending the names you can provide, some of those may fall on the latter.

So, I wouldn't count on mass deletion sprees on nations you deem immature.

can you provide specific nation names?

If not, the mods really aren't going to do anything. It would just take too many man/woman hours to serach through all 125,000 + nations to find the few that are in violation.

...lets see if the all mighty mods are able to desipher is ...
No.

To paraphrase:"Hi. I've got a problem."
* puts on tinfoil hat, waits *There are almost three million posts in these forums. We're not psychic. Provide names and/or links, or don't bother. 'K?

You're not being flamed. You've been asked to provide examples, and you've managed to reply twice without providing any.

If you're making a Moderation request, either do so publicly here (and include the facts) or do so privately via the Getting Help page (and include the facts). Alluding to a problem and asking us to guess is a waste of our time.

i see that as being made fun of...and I dont like it.
as for clarfying this I will do so when this afternoon when I have time hopfully

Well, perhaps his words are a bit...direct. However, they have to deal with dozens of problems every day, and so I wouldn't expect them to be warm and cuddly. If you want the problem to be dealt with provide evidence.


but at the moment I don’t have enough time to do anything so hopefully my fellow NSers are on the look out


Trust me, they have less time than you.

You certainly can't expect the moderators to listen to what you are saying when you come to moderation and complain about something, yet give no examples of what is wrong. The mods can't go through every single post of every single thread in General to check for it either. Citing specific examples of things that could be breaking the rules is a big help, so that the moderators don't have to take out so much time of their already busy schedules to search for a needle in a haystack.

It wasn't Frisbeeterias intent to offend you and we apologize for that. However, while not required by NationStates rules, it would help you to get a sense of humor (and maybe a thicker skin) as his comment was very mild.

That said, the fact remains that we cannot take action without specifics. So, his comment is far from being unjustified in any event. Vague complaints are useless to us...and we don't like it. So, in the future, please only post a complaint when you are ready to post specifics. Again, we need a nation name, a region name (if it's something going on in a region), or a forum link. You see those black numbers in the upper right corners of posts? Those are hyperlinks to the post; just right-click (or control-click for Macintosh single-button mice) on the number to copy the link to the post. Then paste it in your complaint in "Moderation".

I can't stress this enough: Without the correct specifics, we cannot investigate or take action.
