My puppet, Nakrau is bugging the hell out of me, when i go to the forum, it randomly changes New Nassrau to Nakrau, but it still has my nation's signature when i post, and if any moderators can, i would like it to be deleted, so you have my yes to deletion

Did you make sure to turn off auto-login in the Settings? That sounds suspiciously like your problem.

Yep, what usually happens here is you're logged in as Nation X, but you have an autologin set on Nation Y. So you wander around merrily as Nation X for a while, then go have a sandwich, come back, and don't realize that in the meantime your login has timed out. Your autologin kicks in and logs you in as Nation Y.

Happens especially after creating a new nation, because autologin is set to on by default.

From a security standpoint, isn't it safer to set autologin off by default, so that users can only turn it on if they are aware of a log-in timeout that they manually disable?

Yeah, and when you're making puppets it is kind of annoying. Can you please have it off by default?

Look at it from the perspective of new users, not from the perspective of experienced players. The default is best set according to what is best for those who haven't yet figured out the setting exists. Typically those players will only have one nation.

Auto log-in still doesn't make sense, though, most players won't use it.
