NationStates Jolt Archive

Howdy,

Could someone please tell me why my nation was deleted not once, but resurrected and deleted again, in the space of fifteen minutes?

Oh, and would y'all mind resurrectin' it again?

~Der Reichsprotektor

Usually when that happens, they are resurrecting it in order to review some information on it, which can't be accessed while the nation is "dead".

If your nation was deleted for rules violations, it will not be brought back.

(Not a mod)

Thank you for stating the obvious. Oh wait, no thanks.

I would like confirmation of the rationale for it being deleted.

If it was for the simpsons flag, no big. I have no problem with them disagreeing with my interpretation of their rules. But I do think it is a bit much to end Der Reichsprotektor over.

Hey, if any moderator has a list of the number of flags of mine they've pulled down, I would like to see it as I honestly can't recall. I believe they once changed my national animal too. How many strikes does one get these days? I guess that is my only point to make.

Would you accept a pledge from me that I would use only swastikaless, hitlerless, essentially altogether naziless flags in the future if DRP was resurrected?

here's another stating the obvious: nations deleted for rulebreaking usually don't get resurrcted.

It does seem a bit excessive to delete such an old nation for having a flag featuring a cartoon Hitler and a partially exposed swastika. Perhaps the Moderators really dislike the Simpsons?

Perhaps the Moderators really dislike the Simpsons?
Perhaps (as is often the case) you don't have all the facts.


This deletion is currently under review by moderators, and a decision will be published (or telegrammed) once it has been reached.

Thank you for telling us this much.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my intent with the flag I believe I was deleted for using, now that some of the evidence was removed with today's invasion of Germany following my deletion.

My previous flag of Bruno Ganz in the role of Hitler, I started using so long ago I cannot recall if there was an established flag policy then. Aside from the original no swastika rule. When this flag was removed around a week ago, I came here and read the thread on flag policy for the first time.

The last flag Der Reichsprotektor flew was a cartoon Hitler from an episode of the simpsons, in the background of the scene there was a swastika banner. I put this flag up as I believed the established rules to be that a hitler and swastika would be acceptable in the context of an especially silly joke.

Even though I thought Hitler on the Simpsons would be enough of a joke, I changed DRP's motto to "Adolf Hitler was a naughty, naughty man." A South Park reference. I also lightened DRP's title, and I changed the factbook of Germany to reinforce the fact that DRP and Germany were not legitimately endorsing the nazis. This factbook entry was removed by the invaders of Germany today.

It formerly read:

"This region does not endorse nazism, or any of its agendas. It laughs at fascism, which is what it deserves in addition to scorn, to be ridiculed.

This region also does not endorse democracy, or any of its agendas. It laughs at representative republicanism, which is what it. . .

In short, calm yourself, and please stop taking down my nation flags."

Moderators,

I am an impatient and self-involved man. Three days have passed since Der Reichsprotektor was deleted. Within the first day a party of raiders and pirates moved into Germany and took the delegacy. The region is now in anarchy and has already been raped and pillaged by these barbarians. The only other group with the means and interest to secure power in Germany are the inhabitants of The German Empire. But they wait for your decision on whether the deletion of DRP is to be enforced.

I admit the situation is Germany today is entirely my fault. I have never been so shamed as I have been these last few days. I do not wish to be blamed for another day of looting in the Reich. I ask you now to reach a decision with all possible speed.

If it can help then I ask you also to consider my words here now: I declare that if DRP is resurrected, that my first priority will be Germany. Her security I would ensure by flying a simple flag, an example of which the nation Uhhmerica flies now. I would also become a greatly active founder and true protektor of the Reich. Securing her from the chronic fear of foreign invasion.

On a side note... a few of the invaders are being quite rude to the natives... and in fact, trolling most germans, in their posts

~Der ReichsprotektorRegional politics are of no consequence to us except where they violate NationStates rules. Unless somebody is trying to cause somebody else grief, we don't really care if any given region is in chaos or being invaded.

The matter is still under discussion, but as the entire NationStates staff consists of volunteers, this is a slow discussion.

And being rude to the mods, as well as other players, in the mod forum, especially when they're reviewing your nation, isn't a very wise thing to do. They have lives too. Rushing them won't help your cause one bit... believe me.

I'm wondering, why was DRPs flag taken down and the nation of "Dave Hitler"s flag hasn't been? This nations flag is a picture of the actual Hitler (not an actor who looks like Hitler like DRPs old flag or a cartoon Hitler like his last one) and has been quite visible in the North Pacifics top ten UN rankings for quite some time, and yet nothing has been done about it.

I don't mean to "tattle" on another players flag, I'm just wondering why one nations flag is taken down and anothers is left up (esp. when the flag that was taken down couldn't be considered more offensive, since it was a picture of an actor.)

MOD is not omnipresent (though they are omnipotent). If you see a flag they might have missed, report it on the GHP, they will take care of it.

Witnessed. He's been on the World's Top Ten a time or two as well.

Let me just bump this.....

Danke.

Would it help the moderators, if I were to link to the two flags in question?


Der Reichsprotektor

If it matters, The Greater Capitalist Wing Military led by myself staged a full-scale invasion into Germany to liberate them from Corrupt Rogue Invader Pirates.
I beat the Delegate by 1 endorsement but was ejected by the Deleagte about 1 hour before the update along with about 15/20 other of my supporters.
(Some stupid pirate said my ejection dive off the plank got a 7.5)

Wow, I hate Pirates... :headbang: :mad: :headbang:

Mods will not tell in here what any ruling would be. In fact, this thread might be locked like all pending revisions.

Well I just thought I'd let some Germans natives know without starting a new thread....
Well good luck trying to get DRP restored.

Eight days since Der Reichsprotektor was deleted.

Have I given the mods a real debate this time?

Can't say that I really care anymore. DRP was my last nation on NS. The oldest, but hardly the wisest.

Der Reichsprotektor (bump)

Just wondering, Why did you have a Nazi Simpsons flag?

It just supports the sterotype that all Germans are Nazis...

I suppose I was trying to mock. The moderators are undoubtedly quite sick of tolerating DRP's boredom.

You should have made another nation to play around with... :rolleyes:

Day Nine since Der Reichsprotektor was unjustly deleted. Germany has just been taken over by Kaiser Bill and his imperial posse. Good night.

Day Ten.


Technically, I realize, my last post was day ten, that is those of you who live in the same time zone as I, err anyway. . .

Enough of your complaining.

Regional politics are of no consequence to us except where they violate NationStates rules. Unless somebody is trying to cause somebody else grief, we don't really care if any given region is in chaos or being invaded.

You were told this, yet you've still decided to complain about your regional politics? We don't care. You've made us out to be the bad people, when in reality, you're the one that pushed the lines, so quit posting here about your regional politics and patiently wait for an answer. Continuing to do so can be considered spamming this topic.

Day Eight, Day Nine, Day Ten.

Who's complaining about regional politics? I want this all to be over with, as you no doubt wish as well.

By the way, here are the two flags I offered to show you:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a212/kameraden/simpsonsflag1.jpg

For the record, there was another flag between those two. Looked like it was also the simpsons, except had a nazi on a bike saluting a nazi in a car. I dont have a link for it though.

Oh, and I dont much care for being called an 'imperial posse' also for the record.

Here you are sir. 'Horde' would have been my first choice, naturally.

I suppose someone could inform me whether or not this one is offensive as well. It was a joke about Hitler, alive and well and living in South America, and not being able to get into his mercedes to answer his cell phone I think.

Enough.

Locked pending decision.
