Getting tired of staying in an overcrowded region with 4,000+ members??

If you are a new OR old nation in NationStates, WE WANT YOU!
Our region is relatively new but we are growing fast. We have it all at Four Arrows: A great government, a thriving army, role playing (if you're interested in it) and much MUCH more!

Four Arrows is a safe region that is protected by an ever watchful Founder and it is also in alliance with many regions including TFS. We promise, when you join, and are a dedicated member to NS, that you WILL go places in this region. Your voice will always be heard, unlike in the regions of 100+ members, where you are just another fish in the sea.

We plan to expand our reach in NationStates soon, so now is your chance to let your nations be heard through NS! I strongly urge you to try this region out. If you are unsatisfied with it, we will try and change to suit your needs, if your are still unsatisfied, you may leave, just tell us first!

To move your nation to Four Arrows, Click on my name next to the telegram, then click on the the link that says FOUR ARROWS. From there you will be directed to our main page where you will see a link that says MOVE <YOUR NATION'S NAME> TO FOUR ARROWS TODAY!

We Hope to see you there, and I hope that you go far in our region!

Warm regards,
TAA (aerobania), Founder, Four Arrows

Another 24-liner:

His Majesty of Rolamec:
Good Day and Welcome to Nation-States,

Your nation has been deemed to be of fitting quality to be extended the invitation to enter the region of “St Margaret Mary”

St Margaret Mary has been a symbol of democratic values, while at the same time maintaining its republican form of government. Even today, our region still focuses on a fair and equal government.

Not only does St Margaret Mary offer a strong and active government, but we also offer an active military, one that helps the weak and fights the oppressive. Using activity, coordination, and precision, we guarantee success all the time.

Therefore, if you are ready to do some invading and defending, the best thing you could do is join us at “St Margaret Mary”, and extend the power for another generation.

To move to “St Margaret Mary”:
1.) Click “The World” on your left.
2.) Scroll down and type “St Margaret Mary” and click “Find Region.”
3.) On St Margaret Mary’s regional page click on the link ‘Move to “St Margaret Mary” today.’

See you there,
St Margaret Mary's Recruitment Team

President Dave:
Dear Nations, New and Old!

First, let me start off by saying "WELCOME TO NATIONSTATES"! I'm glad that you've decided to give the game a try. Second, if you're looking for a new region to call home - one that has a fun and really active role play system, one that has a government that you can easily get involved in, one that has several impressive political parties, one that has a very active and defensive army, then I'd like to invite you to the region of Nova Atlantica!

We were founded very recently - at the end of April. We all ready have a very large population, a total of 77 nations.

We have a fun forum, that has a really fun role play system with a regional map. We also have political parties, a very impressive and fun government, and more!

We welcome all nations with open arms! We welcome Conservatives, Liberals, Capitalists, Communists, Democrats, Republicans, Moderates, Extremists. Basically everyone!

I do hope you consider moving to Nova Atlantica, and I hope to see YOU there! :D

~President Dave
Chief Justice of Nova Atlantica

Hello I'm Ghost Rider1,

Welcome to NationStates. I would like to personally invite you to our region "Darkness Falls," we're a small region but we're very active as can be seen from our forum. We also have very active nations that will be happy to help you settle in and offer you advice and help on anything you need.

We're also looking for active members to start our armed forces and defence ministries but if you want to settle back and talk with like minded people, you can do that too, so why don't you come on over?

If you want to move, simply click the move to a different region button, then type in Darkness Falls in the find a region edit box. Once you're on our main page, click on "Like what you see? Move to Darkness Falls today," and you're there.

See you soon!

I have found many advertisers are receptive as long as we are nice. Which is a basic tenet for dealing with people. :D

And this following advert comes in with a HUGE 38 lines of spam:

The United Socialist States of Thandryn

I would like to formally invite you to join a young and growing region called Sorvun. We may be small and new but we have some very experienced members who understand how this game and how an international community like this works.

I am sure you have received other invitations from older and larger regions, but here is why you may want to consider joining Sorvun:
-Your input would be a tremendous help in terms of organizing and figuring out what form we want our region to take
-Our offsite forum is fully-developed with tons of features and is an integral part of our region
-A chance to fully-develop your nation and create all kinds of things like national newspapers to keep everyone informed of the political intrigue your nation has to offer, to stake a claim on our new soon-to-be-unveiled regional map, or whatever else you want your nation to have
-Take a job in the government and have a direct impact on the running of our region (there are currently openings in several ministries)
-A fully-developed system of regional government including a regional senate and court system!
-Join a political party that reflects your values and beliefs.... or create one to fit whatever ideals you wish!
-A military developing with positions of command available to expand our regions influence
-A possible spy network
-Several experienced members in our community that can help you with whatever questions you may have and offer all kinds of advice for developing your nation

Anyway, I hope you consider joining Sorvun. The great thing about joining an upstart region like our's is that you can make a great impact right away--even if you are new to the game--because we don't have an entrenched system built on precedent that is protected by old members. We need active members willing to help us create a vibrant region of great prominence in Nationstates, and active members in a growing region like our's can quickly gain respect and importance.

If you are interested, you can check out our offsite forum for more information. You will find it at:
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Sorvun/

Thanks for your time and good luck in NationStates.

I sent the recrutier a message and posted a friednly reminder on their region's RMB.
 
The Nomadic Peoples of The Bookie Monster
Received: 2 minutes ago

Sorry for one of our members posting the long recruitment letter on your RMB. The letter is supposed to be telegrammed to individual nations but he refuses to acknowledge that. We even have a small one that goes on RMBs, but it's like playing cards with my sister's kids with that guy.

I got this TG from one of the nations from Sorvun. Nice to know folks appreciate what we do. I did laugh that they are having issues reigning their founder in with regards to violating recruitment rules! :w00t:
 
And this was just posted. I counted 20 lines of spam. I sent them a friendly TG as well.

The Republic of Trailer Recruiters 

Follow me to The Trailer Park.

We have trailers you can use.
You could buy your own if you want.
There is a stream nearby.
The fishing is good in the neighboring lake.
Elk walk through the field closeby.
So do deer.
The artesian wells are not contaminated with PCBs like that *other* park.
We have dances every Friday night.
Reverend Bob tames snakes every Sunday with the spirit of Christ.
The air is fresh.
The property is cheap.
There is a volleyball net.
Sometimes we make cheese in March.
There are jewelrymaking contests too.

Move to The Trailer Park, please.
You will like it.
If you don't you can just move out.

Wow.

I feel bad for you people.

Do you really have enough time on your hands that all you have to do is keep hitting the refresh button to see if someone posted a recruitment ad longer than 15 lines.

And you're shutting down people's fun, to boot. AND.. you're acting like power hungry rent-a-cops.

AND... you're strangling Nationstates by quelling your pathetic boredom by spamming recruitment ads off the rmb.

Pity.

I know!! We did have a great convo going and this guy has to be a royal jack ass. Thats what I get for initially being polite to an advertiser.

Is there a process for having advertisers temporarily banned from TNP?
 
Once again, TNP needs to remember the 15-line "rule" is only a "courtesy guideline". The official Jolt AdSpam Rules do not include it.

Making a BIG DEAL out of it on the RMB might attract Game Mods and they might decide there does need to be a rule ... and then the Userites win again. A casual remark like ... "Whoa there! Someone must have forgotten how to count!" ... gets the point across without causing an RMB battle.

It irks that Trailer Recruit is crying foul and lack of respect, but respect is a two way street. Simply put.

Valid point TAO. Once again the voice of reason. :D
 
I believe the "he" is a "her". And a very immature/young one at that.

But things like this happen when TV News crews are on the scene ... camaras seem to bring out the worst in people.
CommRanger Alpha:
"Posting AdSpam over 15 lines is NOT against the rules but it does make your AdSpam an eye-sore and a target for quick removal.", so said the Founder/Creator of the CommRangers in an interview this afternoon with our reporter.

"The problem with AdSpam," he continued, "is not its existence but its insistence that any region could be more important than this one. I realize that such justifications are mere speculation on my part ... but let's get real ... I am an important person and I know what is right for everyone else."

The Experts agree. This is one CommRanger who really knows his stuff!

Hey!

why don't you join our humble region, Mongol Empire. We are a once proud region, struck down by corruption. However, the great minds of Hoplitars, Lisvania, and Hiranux have re-built this region on blood and tears since March 3rd 2007. Will you help make our dream a reality? Do you have what it takes to serve as a Mongol Senator? A Mongol Soldier? Or just a regular forum member? Mongol Empire needs you to serve us in our quest for Nationstates dominence to increase the power of the Horde! You have been asked, now will you respond?

First click "The World" button

Next browse all the way down to the Find A Region Box

Type in Mongol Empire and click Find!

Your almost home, just click move your nation to Mongol Empire today!

I wasn't sure if it counted as 2 ads in 24 hours. If it is please let me know so I can send him/her a TG and post a notice on his/her RMB.


EDIT: Nevermind my question has already been answered.
 
CommRanger Alpha already sent him a TG about the Game Rules for AdSpam. This is more like his fourth recruiting post today.

But he is a new nation (5 million) in a new region with only one nation (his founding nation) and may just be so noooooob that he doesn't know the rules at all.

Go ahead and MOD report The Constitutional Monarchy of NBE Spammer 2 for violating hte 24-hour adspam rule. He KNOWS the rules.

CR Alpha sent the following TG to the violator and posted a similar warning in the spammers home region.
CommRanger Alpha here from The North Pacific. With some bad news ...

June 01st GMT
Around 5:00 p.m. - The Constitutional Monarchy of NBE Spammer 2
Recruiter for - New Britannian Imperium

June 01st GMT
Around 06:00 p.m. - The Constitutional Monarchy of NBE Spammer 2
Recruiter for - New Britannian Imperium
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You spammed The North Pacific twice in 2 hours. That is a clear violation of the Game's (NationStates) AdSpam Rules which state ONE RECRUITING ADSPAM PER REGION PER 24-HOUR PERIOD. Meaning once someone from your region has posted, the 24hr period begins.

Please coordinate your recruiting efforts so you and the region you represent are compliant with the AdSpam Rules and there won't be any reason to MOD-ify your next visit to TNP.

On behalf of the CommRangers; Making the World a Better Place just by being there,

Ciao,

The Protectorate of Veratron:
It appears, you've made a mistake. I'm the only one in New Britannian Imperium that has the password to NBE Spammer 2. You probably saw an ad for New Britannian Empire which has the exact same recruitment letter except for the names.
Click to expand...
Alpha's reply:
It is a very confusing parallelism with your two separate AdSpams ... even the Mods agree.

Your AdSpams are identical in wording (with only a different region referenced but the region names are sooooo close) and your region pages are practically identical, too.  This is really a danger for your two regions, IMO.  And again ... even the Mods agree.

I would recommend your cadre of empire recruiters get together and post only ONE AdSpam each day but include ALL the regions' names in that one adspam.

Hey!

Are you interested in ending a corrupt government. Stopping opression. Free
Beer? then the Regions The Mongol Republic and The Mongol Rebellion are
the regions for you. Spawned out of hate of the once just Mongol Empire,
these two regions now sit on the fringe of overthrowing what once was a
glourious union of Nations. The Mongols are divided, but Democracy is our
way and we must prevail! Crawl across the Republcian Web, ride with the
Bronze Horde, join the Senate and help Democracy return to its rightful
place. You have four people very wiling to assist you in you quest for
greatness; Lisvania, Hiranux, Mongol Marquess, and Redname. All four will
receive any question YOU have regarding our region and even personal
matters (not really). So I leave you with a few parting questions

1.) Do you know how to move your nation to another region? (It's quite
easy, just click on my name and you'll see my nation page then go over to
The Mongol Republic and your there

2.) Are YOU READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

3.) Did you leave the oven on?

4.) Are you going to join or what? The door is open.
