North Pacificans, after hearing the pleas of natives who are fed up with the constant invasion of recruiters and misfits who litter our RMB with their spam, it is time for us to take our RMB back. As such, I enact two policies today, one to enforce the 15-line rules, and one to restrict "offensive" posts and allow for our citizens to utilize the RMB for their own means.

Hmmm. I would be lying if I said that I don't welcome these changes, but the stipulations are rather subjective, no?

I would tend to agree with MO.
Also, we 'have' to report offenders, are there punishments for those who don't?

Oh, bloody hell. It just means please for the love of God, report the offenders. No punishments, just tell him.
Some people make things complicated.
To EM: Would you, a forum official, want to be known as someone who harbours vultures and spammers? While it is shameful that there would be those who wished to do such a thing, yet I am resolved to having a loose group of individuals who will keep an eye on the RMB, in the event that there are those who escaped being reported.
To the rest of TNP: Would you like to help out your region by stamping out the vultures and misfits who trash our beautiful RMB every day? Are you bored by the lack of activity all around you? Even if you don't have alot of time, I want you to help me by being a member of the RMB Protection Squad! You will be required to spend an alloted time per week monitoring the RMB, communicating with other nations in the region, and enforcing the Regulations on Foreign Advertisements and Offensive RMB Posts.
If you are interested, please contact me any time.

I agree with you Dalimbar, but I sort of feel like we have this with the CommRangers. Now, if we could better use the Spam reporting center to more effectively deal with repeat offenders then that would be dandy. I feel like I report folks, and if they do not listen then what happens to them? Nothing as of now. Other then us repeatedly TGing them reminders. Sometimes you need a slap on the wrist.
The reported persons will be on a permanent list. They do not come off because "oh, I've been a good guy for a couple weeks", nay. One warning, that's it.
The problem with the CommRangers is because unless I've been mistaken, I've never received while Delegate (both "legitimate" and "rogue") been handed any records of warning or information of the sort. As the RPS works directly for the Delegate, and is mandated by the Regulations, such problems will be averted in my opinion.

Fair enough, Dalimbar. I have just sent you my first report on a fella named Conservative UK who posted an ad that was 25 lines long. They posted the ad roughly 5 hours ago at 6:53 pm.
Can we work on better communication between you and the CommRangers? I for one support the regulations put in place. If folks would take one minute to read the WFE and have some consideration for our RMB, that would be fantastic. I must admit, I had not completely understood this matter till I became apart of a feeder.

Eh. There's been an open record of violators all along. What else would this thread be for?
Perhaps not publicized so well, but it's been there.

my apologizes for stepping into TNP delegate discussion forum,
but...

Unless I'm absolutely blind, I do not see such lists on my regional controls. Perhaps that is only allowed in UCRs? I spoke with Moo-Cows, got his hopes up about it, and he noticed that there is nothing of that sort on his either in The Pacific.

i'll ask fudgie when she's around, though i noticed you already posted over on jolt.
we'll probably have to wait for them <jarring chord> to figure it out or if it was an accidental oversight.

I am sure it was not an accident. It has been the policy of the mods not to prevent or restrict advertising on the feeders, provided it does not go over the "once per day" rule.

It sounds like it's a "big region" thing, not a "feeder thing". Presumably Taijitu would have similar issues.

Call me a cynic but that does sound awfully like Dali can decide anyone who opposes him or disagrees with him isnt working for the public good and ban them

Another set of pointless initiatives and slap on the back-athon crusades. Apart from being entirely uninforceable, it makes us look rather petty.
Recruiters are not the problem, they are a symptom of it. You can make up any number of policies, guidelines, spam busting patrols and the like, but it isn't going to make a difference if you don't tackle the root of the problem.
If you want to sort out the RMB then please start from a position of attempting to use it more, rather than trying to get other people to use it less.
It seems that Hack is right, the new powers are indeed granted to feeder Delegates.
Conservative UK was banned a few minutes ago while not being in the region in violation of the Regulation on Foreign Advertisements and not heeding a warning sent to them by myself yesterday. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it is now possible with these new powers to enforce the 15 line rules.

Uh, was the 15-line thingy ever codified, or was it just accepted convention?

The Latter.

Hmm. Then I guess it'd be highly improper for the MoC to come out in support of these actions. *cough*

Well, IMHO, the 15 line limit needs to be codefied and then strictly enforced, and then be made a specific duty of the Delegate to enforce.

"Note: This forum is not recognized by the Delegate as a government forum of The North Pacific."( From the North Pacific window in-game)
New to the forum but it seems odd to me that a person who does not recognize the forum as having any official capacity is then going to turn around and make rules for it.

The "rules" that you are referring to apply to the Regional Message Board of The North Pacific on the main NationStates site, not this forum. The reason why I am announcing my Regulations here is because this is the most commonly frequented board for The North Pacific, allowing them a chance to see it.

The stuff that needs to be stopped is that crap using ASCII characters to make goofy little pictures. Oh, and those obnoxious recruitment posts that go on and on and on.
Maybe it's time to create yet another government ministy - The Ministry of Aesthetic Deletions - the purpose of which is to simply delete obnoxious recruitment adds.
