NationStates Jolt Archive

I have an issue for the moderators.

I recently saw a nation wich had as a slogan "white pride world wide"
and was called "The FIGHTING WHITE FORCE of White power world wide". I thought that was just going too far (I didn't report it though since the mods had probably already seen it and because I think it is lame to report this kind of stuff. Instead I sent him this picture:

As a result I got this message from the mods
"Knock off the obscene RMB messages, as well as sending offensive pictures to specific people. Continuing to do so will put your nation at risk of deletion."

So, in short, because I stood up for anti-racism I got a reprimand, whereas someone else can spread their fascist ideas of white supremacy.
There's something not right about that...(also I don't have a clue what RMB means)

RMB = Regional Message Board

The rest of this discussion I will back slowly away from, given my past observations about how these things go...

So.... Could any of the mods give an explanation?
(I don't recall 'obscene messages')

As far as I can tell, the moderators do not collectively subscribe to a particular set of ideologies and they enforce the rules that Max Barry put out. Among those is the expectation that people are allowed to express their views so long as they do so in accordance with the rules. Even if those views include racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

Despite 'standing up for your beliefs', NationStates is a game of understanding and allowing other people to have their beliefs, no matter how different they may be (as long as they don't become malicious or against the rules). Telling others, in general, that their belief sucks, which is basically what you did, is against the rules.

Well, saying 'white pride world wide' means that you that not only everyone else's iedeas suck but also everyone who differs the slightest bit form you sucks (Jews, people of different skincolor, Gay's, Gypsies, etc) I was trying to tell him (ok maybe not in the best way, but hey, those people just piss me off) that his viewpoints were ridiculous.

EDIT: Damn, wrong nation

That doesn't matter. It's his belief that he holds, and he wasn't forcing it upon you, nor was he forcing you to look at his nation. You went out of your way to tell him that his belief sucks. That's where it becomes illegal.

If 'those people' piss you off, then maybe you should ignore them?

Right, I'll ignore them on NS

In the same way that we would not permit anyone to send you harassing telegrams or posts, we protect EVERYONE against harassing telegrams and posts.

Don't like their views? Engage in an intelligent debate. Use logic, facts, and real world examples to support your views. If they tell you to leave them alone, leave them alone.

Just common sense and common courtesy not to start out with accusations (ex: mods support fascism?) and/or insults.
