Given we have a canadian politics megathread this isn't really necessary

Yet another roleplay topic in the gameplay forum. There needs to be a neon sign saying, "hey everybody don't use this forum for roleplaying purposes".

Move this to Moderation, where it belongs. Actually, no, just lock it.

It's rotten, its head already has decomposed entirely, yet there are people who regularly dig it up and spam a bit on it. And summer is coming...

(Same post as Risottia reported)

When the gravedigger uses big text like that, it makes it even more obvious that locking the thread gives them the "last word".
This could be an actual incentive to gravedig: say something provocative or strident, knowing it will be locked and no-one CAN reply.

Have moderators considered as policy to delete the gravedig posts before locking (or burying) gravedug threads?

Since this is supposed to be a report (not an appeal or suggestion) I merely draw attention to the big text.

In this particular case, a red-text warning was potentially called for; it was arguably gravedigging for the purposes of trolling.

However, the same individual has just received a warning for expressing a certain flavour of right-wing views in another thread, so we'll let it go this time. But certainly there are cases where a further sanction for gravedigging would be warranted.

This is my old embassy thread. Can I get it locked? One of these days, I plan to make a new one.

I'm not sure if this was recently towed to P2TM. It appears to be an MT nation organization, and their prior group RP was set in NationStates. A quick review of all the applicants shows that they're in-character for their nation. Perhaps a tow to NationStates is in order? viewtopic.php?f=4&t=355802

That said, they're welcome to stay in P2TM if they're looking to do some sort of alt-history/non-canon gaming with their nations.

Odd. o_O

Regardless, it's in NS now, so a colleague must have gotten to it. Everything else is caught-up as well.

Could we get the Oklahoma Abortion Bill thread in general (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=378650) merged with the dedicated abortion thread (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=375127)?

Discussion in the Oklahoma thread has pretty much shifted over to a general discussion of abortion, and I figure we should just bring the two together.
