Campaign Against Spam Warning Center

The New Britannian Lands of Invader-1 has posted two ads in 1 hour. A clear violation of NS TOS. The nation has a population of over 1 billion, so being a noob is not a factor. I have sent him a TG and posted on his RMB. I will report him to the mods to warn him.
 
The Mongol Co-Founder of Lisvania has broken the 15 line limit.


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.

Hey MO ...

I am thinking about going to the Jolt to ask about this (which, BTW, is from TWP):
64 minutes ago The Dominion of NBI Recruiter 2 Salutations from New Britannian Imperium!

I would like to extend an invitation to all in this region to move to the region of New Britannian Imperium. We are a Monarchist region that focuses on regional and inter-regional politics. We also offer help to those who are new to the game. Aren't you tired of being ranked 273rd? Then move to an average sized, happy region where you can be counted instead of blending into the crowd. We would be greatly honoured if you would kindly join us in residence at New Britannian Imperium. Feel free to visit our website at www.freewebs.com/newbritannia or our forum at http://h-hosting.org/forumx/Forum.aspx?FId=1047

God Save King Caleb I of New Britannian Imperium!

These two adspams are nearly identical even though they are actually slightly different region names. I think this is an attempt to side-step the rules, to some extent. What say you?
 
Une lacune de droit! Le droit prétorien s'applique!

(Sorry, still influenced by my law exam yesterday.)

But 'tis true, it is a loophole in the adspam rules...for now, I should state:

Nulla poena sine lege.

Change the rules.

The United Socialist States of Cecilist Republic 

Greetings Fellow Players, Spammers, Recruiters, and all the matter of people who think they're cool enough to be whatever they think they are (and then some),

I am from the Region of Funny guys, a region with...stuff...as you can call it, cause I will not go any further to reveal stuff like that we have flying monkeys with rocket launchers or badge wearing badgers and banana phone fanatics...that ringtone is so awesome.

We live in Harmony. That's a crucial and special word there: HARMONY. Yeah that's right. If you're blind, I'm so sorry that you have to braille this all out. Or do you? Anyhow here's the difference between our region, and a normal region. The Region of Funny Guys name cannot be copied, cause well, we already took it! Other than that, we're laid back, funny, and oh, did I mention that we have flying monkeys with rocket launchers?

Oh yah, I did. Clearly, we all know that you're not newbs who think they're indestructible, so we'll just tell you that our region is "The Region of Funny Guys", for those people with short term memory loss. I have it too...or do I? I don't remember.

Anyhow, once you join, you'll know that everything we boast about it true, except for the thong wearing robots. Wait, did I mention that there were thong wearing robots? If I did, then we don't have any. But join anyways!

REGIONAL ADVERTISEMENT for GOLDEN TRIANGLE

All are welcome.

============================================================
How do I get to GOLDEN TRIANGLE?

1. Click on the "THE WORLD" link on your left hand side
2. In the entry panel next to "Find Region" at the bottom of the page type GOLDEN TRIANGLE

I posted a suggestion on how to comply with the 15-line limit on the RMB

Hey Golden Triangle, you're in violation of the 15 line limit. All you need to do is cut the "how do I get..." section and you'd truely be golden.

Meanwhile.....Support the beautiful blue waters of The North Pacific, and help keep them spam free.

Red Back those are valid points, comrade. I am not sure what size and resolution the line limit was set at.

My current resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. As to the size of my monitor I am not sure. Also, you are correct that the rule is no longer in the WFE. And this should really only, effect new recruiters, not folks who have been around NS for a while.

You are invited to a region that I have enjoyed greatly with my previous and current nations over the past year, a wonderful place that I like to call KINGDOM.
At Kingdom whatever goal you wish to achieve is up to you. I should know, as I have taken on many of my own ambitious projects, including regional maps and some really cool postcards, as well as an NSWiki for Kingdom which I have recently updated. All of these which my fellow Kingdomites have greatly enjoyed.

So if you have a creative idea that you wish to enjoy and share with a group of friendly nations, or are just looking for someplace to hang out, Kingdom is the place to go.

If you are interested, here's how you get there:

1) Click on “The World” in the left-hand sidebar.
2) Type “Kingdom” into the “Find Region” box.
3) Click on “Like What You See? Move [Your Nation] to Kingdom today!”
4) You should then be located in Kingdom, welcome!

Yours sincerely,

The mods were threatening to outlaw ascii art when that stewie griffin ascii was being used daily.

I don't believe anything came out of it though.
 
I believe he stopped.

He was the only "nation" using it on a regular basis that caused a complaint (i'm thinking of hte puff puff guy...)
 
Quite a few folks use the ASCII art on a regular basis. Can we petition the mods again to consider banning this type of artwork? It bugs the living hell out of me! :mad:

And on a positive note Major Stoners, The Cooke Islands, and Hyberian Recruitment all TGed me back apologizing and saying they would comply with the ad line limit. ^_^

Also, can someone TG Dalimbar about putting the ad line limit back into our WFE?
 
personally i'd go after the fools who use blocks or __ or - - - to separate their ads. breaks the flow of the board. which is what they want.


mebbe we should get more people complain. rally the feeders!
 
Here is a quick draft for a petition:

Salutations NS Moderators,

We the undersigned recognize that the NS moderators provide valuable services to the players of NationStates, and we also recognize that they work extremely hard.

We humbly ask that the moderators of NationStates would consider banning an ASCII graphic from advertisements that are used in our beloved feeder regions (The North Pacific, The Pacific, The South Pacific, The West Pacific, The East Pacific, Lazarus and The Rejected Realms).

While we can never stop advertisements from gracing our RMB's, we can help to minimize their annoyance to the many inhabitants of the feeders who have to read these ads day and night. We strongly feel that while ASCII graphics are a fun novelty item, they serve no purpose in the long turn. We firmly believe that they are an annoyance and a nuisance.

We the undersigned of this petition humbly ask the NS moderators to take to this matter under their collective advisement.

Respectfully Yours,

[SIGN HERE]

Fris seems annoyed and irritated by the ASCII art and alluded to a possible banning of it. But, nothing has come of it.

Purpose of this blatant advertising: - So that Football Fans within Nationstates are made aware of the chance to get involved in discussions and competitions during the upcoming season. (Starts Saturday 4th August)

We Have Nations who represent Rangers, Hearts & Kilmarnock but if you're a Bluenose a Jambo or a Killie fan you can still take part.

We'd like fans of the following teams to make up a complete league

Hibs, Falkirk, Dundee Utd, Gretna, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Inverness CT, St Mirren & Celtic

... but, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal fans etc etc will still take something out of the experience.

We have our own Forum - please look in!
