A few days ago, while checking on the current status of a nation that had passed through my home region a while ago, I chanced across the region The Republican Party (http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_republican_party), whose World Factbook Entry said
We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world--a Party of moral cripples who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for Power and Oil, but cowardly bigots with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us.
It seemed to me that this might violate the rules against Flaming, Flamebaiting and/or Trolling, so I filed a GHR enquiring whether this was the case.
The reply that I received (by TG) said that We don't enforce political correctness in this game, nor do we guarantee you won't be offended. See this thread in the Moderation forum (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=504842) for a further bit of explanation.
But doesn't that WFB entry cross the line into 'malicious' and 'defamatory' posting, such as is banned in the basic rules of the game?
What can't I post?
Any content that is:
obscene
illegal
threatening
malicious
defamatory
spam
This applies to your nation's name, motto, and other customizable fields, any messages you write, images you post, or any other content you upload or link to NationStates
And, if it doesn't, how was I supposed to know where the line is being drawn without enquiring as I did?
