Campaign Against Spam Warning Center

There was a nation that posted an ad over a page long, I know at least Nam saw it. So, I sent him a TG. Basically... first the generic TG, then telling him he *could* be banned, then reminding him that there is still a rule against just spam, which a page long ad comes pretty close to in my opinion.

I cannot be banned from a region I am not a part of. There are no rules in the FAQs stating that feeder regions may choose to impose limits on recruitment spam. Therefore, I'll exercise my obvious right.

Good day

I think that the word for is most definitely spamming, but because yours is a feeder region, it's legal. Therefore, I will continue. Because your Delegate is never on when I am, he will not have the opportunity to eject me. Your threats seem cowardly to me, almost futile. Yes, I will continue. I have the backing of three empires. Good day

*wonders who is first on list once Eras becomes delegaate*

Did you send them any replies, or did they just rattle off three TG's at you?

I think it might be time to crank up the ridicule on them. I just had a quick look at their region, and the 5 regions that they claim on their RMB, and in their telegrams, to have conquered, were all founded by the founder of Hibernia. Considering Hibernia and the five "conquered" region have about 12 nations all together, I'm not entirely certain the whole empire isn't just one individuals puppets...

edit - and if anyone was wondering, a delegaate is like a delegate, but better... :blush:

Yeah, I sent them TGs in between. Trying not to be too condescending though. But I think I *will* send what I was thinking for the 4th one.
 
I hear the "Invaders" are migrating currently. Perhaps we could get them to "flock" for a bit...

For that kind of ad (and response), the recruiter should just be banned on sight.

Usually I'm pretty lenient (15-20 lines, not counting spaces is okay), but his use of spacing was ridiculous!
 
MESSAGE SENT:

I would like to draw your attention to the 15-line limit on recruitment ads. Not only did your post contain more than 15 lines, it contained unnecessary use of spacing and profanity. If you wish to continue recruiting in the North Pacific, please respect Regional Law.

His use of spacing was ridiculous. He also went over the 15-line limit rule and used profanity in a recruitment ad. That really stung me. :headbang:

I think it is also important to undertake an awareness campaign as well as notify offenders.

There is no stopping a spammer unless you call in the almighty mods. We need to go 'all hearts and minds' rather then pi$$ing them off, at least then they will be willing to co-operate.

We need an RMB anti-spam strikeforce. How about an NPA mission (which wouldn't interfere if done right, where I can send in people to 'de-spam' the RMB with legitimate posts? I'd be more than happy to help out.

Hey People and Addvertisers here is a tip,

GET THE HELL OUT OF THE NORTH PACIFIC!!!!!!!!!!
Click to expand...

First off, this coul offend a lot of "userites". Secondly, this could discourage people to come to the North Pacific in fear that our leaders are anti-userite tyrants. Thirdly, it could encourage many recruiters to go over the 15-line limit. My suspicion is that this man is an inquisitor or just a plain old anti-userite.
 
"A third warning could result in the banning of Valcoma from the North Pacific or, as much as I hate to say it, Wall Street could be banned from recruiting in the feeder region."

Oh please do explain to me how you would actually do that.

Their words
My words

This was from the founder of Wall Street, Old Libertaria, after I informed him of Valcoma's recruitment ignorance.
 
Just to add to the whole Valcoma affair, when I sent him a telegram asking him to consider reducing the line limit, he sent me back the following in reply:

Here is something to consider:

- Your rule is not a game enforced rule, so do not threaten me.
- The feeders were created for the birth of new nations, not for people to get active in them and form governments.
- I have a right to advertise.

Something needs to be done.

Here is AC Recruiter's:

Greetings, great leader!

I represent the region of "Aeazer", and it is my pleasure to extend to your honourable nation an invitation to join our region. A collective of only the most skilled and dedicated nations bound together in soul purpose: to form an organisation that will empower the common people of NationStates, allow them to reach their full potential and escape a purposeless end, and exert our will over the people of NS to save them all from the dark influence of greed, selfishness, capitalism and bigotry. We are here to bring light to the world. We are the real liberators of NationStates, for instead of starting by destroying governments and empires, we reshape the minds of the world.

For far too long, the wicked superpowers of NS have robbed nations like you and ours of our souls, minds, and purpose. However, now an organisation has risen to stand up to the mental oppression of the world's great empires! Aeazer!

We allow any nation to be with us, whether you be a dictator or have no government at all. We may not share political views, but those who share their time on earth with us are bound as brothers and sistsers. We must stand united. Only with numbers can we power the aspects of Aeazer that can provide anyone with the occupation they enjoy, be it an army, spy network, police force, newspaper, or what have you.

Become an Aeazen nation, and help change the face of Nation States thought and NationStates politics.
Visit our forum at: aeazencombine.org, and decide with honour, and with an open mind.
