[report] Baiting in The Invaders

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Depends on context. Can be a defender trap.

In any case, no one cares for "defeating" or "outwitting" you. You're playing a made-up game with yourself - and worse, it's on the lowest possible difficulty. But hey, I suppose that can feel good too, even if it's not the real thing.

Pick a day, trigger, pile (and/or sit on the banject button).

We do this to enjoy ourselves, and some of us to do the right thing by the native communities. But no one cares about you.

Most egregious bit underlined.

Addressed.

You're shitting me.

Read things in context. The second paragraph talks about defenders not caring about "defeating invaders". The fourth paragraph amplifies that by saying that we play for our own fun. "No one cares about you" doesn't even mean anything devoid of context. You think I'm talking about their RL? lol. All it's talking about is not caring about what invaders think, defeating them, etc.

Second opinion.

General mods should probably also stick to moderating General.

Thank you for your suggestion. Rest assured it will be given all due consideration. In the meantime, I've sent up a flare.

Second opinion - given the context, the "no one cares about you" comment is acceptable (albeit snarky) as it's a general "other players don't care about the way you are playing the game" backed up with reasoning. If it'd just been the "no one cares about you" part without that reasoning, it would have been very baity. I'm therefore reversing the warning.

Two observations though:

1) Even discounting the two that have just been overturned, you've picked up 3 warnings and 2 bans over the last 9 months. That's not good. If you keep that up, you'll be losing nations soon. The rudeness doesn't achieve anything. Too many gameplayers have got themselves DOSed for stupid reasons recently, and I don't want to see any more go that way.

2) The "General mods should probably also stick to moderating General." comment did not help your case at all. Several "non-gameplayer" mods including Kyrusia, Old Tyrannia, USS Monitor and of course Yumyumsuppertime have been doing a fair bit of moderating in Gameplay recently, and they've been doing a great job of it. Occasionally, someone may miss a bit of context that affects their decision - we're only human, and that's why we have the appeals process. If you think that's the case, politely explain your case, and we'll look into it. If you treat us with respect, you'll get it back.

What do you mean? Are people getting DDosed by other players for malicious reasons?

DOS = "Delete on Sight", which essentially means a player is permanently banned from playing NationStates. That's different from DDOSing.

If DOS is delete on sight, then what is DDOS?
