NationStates Jolt Archive

May I inquire to why my friend's nation, McAir, was deleted? He doesn't seem to be the type to break the rules.

For privacy reasons, we do not discuss the nature or reason for deletions. Suffice to say, he broke rules.

Alright then I'm sorry for asking, but when my friend was deleted a few monthes ago, I received an answer..

Don't you think an ip ban is a bit harsh? I admit McAir's crime was punishable, but not with an ip ban.. I'm sure he would not try to intentionally impersonate a moderator.

I'd edit that quickly to cover up any leads to the scenario that the moderators might want to keep hush-hush for privacy, Glatannia. I don't think they'll want it put so clearly :(

Since he saw fit to release the information publicly, I can respond publicly.
I'm sure he would not try to intentionally impersonate a moderator.
After creating the nation "NATION STATES ADMIN" and having it deleted, he then created a second nation called "NS Admin".

Does that sound intentional? Gawrsch, I just don't know. Probably an innocent mistake, I'm so sure.

Alright, sorry for bothering you, I was not told that part of the story.

And that's the end of that. Lock?

I would like to thank the mods for their graciousness for unbanning McAir and forgiving his stupidity. I assure you he had no idea of the magnitude of his offense and it shouldn't happen again.

Let's be clear here. We weren't being gracious, nor have we forgiven or restored McAir or the other nations deleted. All we did was remove a pointless temporary IP ban designed to send a message to this player and prevent him from flooding the system with more annoying puppets we'd just have to delete.

Impersonating an admin is a serious charge, and doing so twice within an hour points to some major increduluity with regards to understanding the rules of this game. This case isn't closed yet.
