Getting Fed Up

I'm getting more than a little fed up with seeing that some large and older nations decide at will to just remove threads made by new nations.

I've watched this happen 11 times in one day.

There was no justification - just typical abuse of power. The world does not operate by people destroying websites and so bigger nations ought not to have the option of cutting down anything they view as a threat to their hegemony.

it's pathetic and annoying and it makes this game look even less realistic.

You're talking about the moderators doing their jobs on the forum? If you think there was no justification, then you should have links to the relevant threads.

Otherwise, the *really* simple explanation is that new nations have a higher tendency to be breaking the rules on account of not reading them first, and the really old nations have a tendency to be the moderators because they have been around a long time and know the rules quite well.

I wish I'd kept the links as what it amounted to was someone new / recent coming up with a good idea which probably threatened longer standing members' interests.

I'm pretty certain they weren't breaking any rules as well.

Ho hum...it doesn't matter.

Even the best ideas can be executed poorly. Trust me, there are far more efficient ways of dealing with 'threats to national interest' in roleplaying- it's called ignoring the person.

With all due respect, I fail to see how a newly made nation can threaten longer standing members' interests, unless it "n00ks the w0rld with my 118342590 n00ks!!!1". Besides...

...They don't. No matter how old or big nation is, it doesn't have power to delete threads, only Moderators have that power.
