Problem with region name in issues
Sorry if this is already posted - server problems
When issues make reference to the region, they say 'the_new_galaxy' instead of 'The New Galaxy'.

Yeah, that's your region name. Servers (agh...some computer tech word or other...I think HTTP, not quite sure, ask an IT person) can't recognize spaces, usually they're replaced by %20 but in NS they automatically fill in spaces with an underscore...and also, in some servers, there is no case sensitiveness, Windows for example (I think).\. Therefore everything is turned lowercase...could be the other way around....

Which issue(s) would this be? Because I believe that a macro error in the coding is what produces that.

This has already been pointed out in the Issue Typo sticky.
#53: Orbital Armageddon? [Issue by The us marine corps]
The Debate
1. General @@RANDOMNAME@@ says, "We should spend more. But not just on exploration. We should start developing Orbital Weapons! Space Marines! Armed Spacecraft! We would rule @@REGION@@, and look really cool doing it! Just divert some funding from environmental protection, and BAM! Sci-fi goodies!"
BTW, I've noticed that whenever the regionname is inserted it is wrong, and then later 'violet' removes it. However, it should be possible as it is done correctly in:
#24: Budget Time: Accountants Excited
The Debate
2. "We won't have a future unless we improve police numbers and rebuild the military," says General @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Oh, it's all well and good to have your fancy education and your nice cars, until some tinpot dictatorship decides to invade. And don't pretend like there aren't any of them in @@REGION@@. Our number one priority has to be security."

Yup, we know about this one. There is actually a slight problem with the issue editor that causes this problem. It's on the list of things to fix, but until then, we just need to wait for [violet] to come along and fix it.
