NationStates Jolt Archive

I received a warning for recruiting other nations? I wasn't aware this wasn't aloud... also... how do I go about gathering nations for my region then?

well you ought to read the rules first then ;)

i'll copy+paste the section in question out of frisbeeterias ONE-STOP RULE SHOP here fyi:

AdSpam: Spamming other people's regional messageboards (RMB) with adverts for your region. The only places where you are allowed to put advertisements are:
the Gameplay Forum (they will be deleted if posted elsewhere, as being polite hasn't worked),
The regional messageboards of the game-created regions
Feeder regions, defined as The Pacific, The North Pacific, The East Pacific, The South Pacific, and The West Pacific. Note that it is not legal to advertise in copycat regions like "West Pacific",
The Rejected Realms and Lazarus,
Official Warzones.
And even then, don't over-do it. One ad per advertised region (NOT per posting nation) in any 24-hour period is the rule. Don't post if an ad for your region is still visible, even if it's been more than 24 hours.
Recruitment telegrams may be sent to residents of game-created regions. No 24-hour rule here - one per nation, period.
Sending unsolicited recruitment telegrams to nations outside of game-created regions is not permitted.
RMB Ads are allowed in player-created regions if and only if the World Factbook Entry says they're allowed. Whomever controls the WFE may set regional policy towards ads.


p.s. you might want to look through the whole thread in order ot avoid more unintended rule-breaking..remeber that not knowing doesn't help getting punished..:)

p.p.s.: not a mod!

You can only recruit in the following regions' message boards or their residents:

The Pacific
The East Pacific
The West Pacific
The North Pacific
The South Pacific
Lazarus
The Rejected Realms

You must remember the "The" because there are copy-cat regions. Also, limit your recruitment messages to one per nation, or one post on their forums per 24 hour time period, whether or not your last one is visible.
