Besides, Antifa ops are providing such great R/D activity, why would we want to take that away? Players are forming entire treaty networks to fight fascists, if mods stepped in that would just be interrupting Gameplay!

Okay, so why not rid the site of Communists, then? In the realm of extremism, they're just as bad. And this is just a game. It's not the real world. Why do you have a problem with letting everyone let off steam together? By all means, use gameplay to push your real-world views and "win" against genuinely terrible ideologies. But insofar as the site is concerned, it makes sense for it to be mostly politically neutral.

If communist regions are being used a recruiting tools to get young people to join offsite chats and forums,
where they’re engaging in vile racism, QAnon-level conspiracies, actual QAnon conspiracies, religious hatred, and other extremist shit… then yes, let’s ban them too.

Nah.
Fascists have always been a small niche on NS. I don't see that suddenly becoming so big that it becomes a huge war.

I dunno, I've been here since 2016 (well, -ish - I was DOS'd until 2018) and only now did I (sort of) find out that WA actually has some power over how the site is run?? Weird. If that's the case, then I think WA should be removed (or repurposed), but it probably won't be.
Outside of that, given that in 2021 NS still uses the "smilies" which I remember from mid-2000s forums/shoutboxes, I don't think it's going to change one bit. (<- this "smilie" in particular is the most nostalgic, since I used to spam/abuse it as a kid online, and thus sometimes got nicknamed "alien", "greenie", etc xd)

How do you become UNDOS'd? I thought DOS's stay forever.
