Since when it is against the rules to have a nation revived when you have done nothing to deserve a permanantly deletion?
Why is it against the rules to have a nation revived multiple times?
In fact, why isn't this written in the rules?
I ask this because I got a telegram, which I deleted before realising I wanted to whine about it.

We resurrect nations as a courtesy to those who may have let it slip their mind. We are not in the business of resurrecting people's nations repeatedly because they will not sign into them once every 28 days, and it is unfair to expect that will will do so ad nauseum and ad infinitum.
You have abused the privilege, asking us to resurrect the same nations repeatedly over the past two years, and we're not restoring them anymore. It's not personal: there are other players who have also gotten the same notification.
I suggest you keep better track of your nations.

Nobody deleted your nations. They've been revived. Now it's up to you to keep it that way, as we've done our part on 3-Jun-05, 28-Aug-05, 23-Dec-05, 16-May-06, and 5-Sep-06. I think that's enough "wait until it dies and then get the mods to login for me" workload, thanks just the same.
Edit: By the way, this isn't new. It's not part of the official sticky, but it is part of the official sticky's comments thread.
Opening up a topic for discussion among the players, probably to add it to the rules sticky:
I've noticed a definite tendency among certain players to keep track of their puppet logins by waiting for their nation to 'cease to exist', at which point they submit a Restoration request via Getting Help. Some of our more massive puppeteers sometimes submit a list of 5, 10, or even 30+ nations at a time to restore.
Resurrection is NOT a substitute for logging on.
The mods are not a substitute for logging in to your nations. If you contantly ask us to restore nations simply because you're too lazy to keep them alive, we may stop restoring them. We see a ton of rezz requests that have been dead for 28, 29, or 30 days. If you're logging on that often, you take the responsibility for your own nations. It's a pain in the butt for US to do it, but they're YOUR nations. You do it.
If you're using us as a convenience when puppets hit 28-30 days, or keeping track of your logon activity by the regional death notices, they might just stay dead next time. You have been notified.
I never got around to adding it to the official thread because it seems like such a no-brainer: "it's your puppet army - you keep up with it". However, as GMC keeps pointing out, there's no such thing as a no-brainer here.
