I just don't believe this is true. A new player, without the knowledge of what a Liberation does, is going to look at the badge with nice white sparkly clouds and think a 'good' thing rather than a condemnation badge which appears like a bad thing. There isn't any norms-setting for new players simply because they are not inducted into the legal fiction that is this liberation-as-a-condemnation.

I think so too, but I don't think it's either a Technical or Moderation issue.
We get trends like this. They're annoying, but they either pass or mature. Players will adapt. You can be discouraging in the SC forum, or you can run a counter-approval TG campaign. Or you can just wait for the "OMG, not this sh*t again" reactions from WA delegates, and they'll stop getting posted eventually.

If you know anything about La Nav by now Fris, you would know he isn't going to stop. He plans on going after all the fascist tagged regions, and apparently non-fascist regions as well.

Femdom Empire was refounded during the vote encase you didn't know Kaboomlandia.

Ah, didn't realize that last part. I've been out of the loop on that one.

Emphasis mine.
That sounds absolutely awful. If someone played their cards right, people could use this as a means to just blatantly raid large regions. Evidence is incredibly easy to manufacture, and there's no easy way to tell if someone is explicitly part of a raider org. And, with the recent wave of 'kill the nazis with liberations' meme going around, it would be even easier to make evidence against a region. Liberations should never be able to undo anything that a founder has done.

I think you need to put more faith in the inter-regional community. A large completely innocent region that hasn't participated in R/D (either voluntarily or forced e.g. being raided) isn't exactly going to get an offensive liberation passed on them. As Stalker said later on in this thread, there have only been two offensive liberation's passed on the two largest Nazi regions. Just because an author is spamming them into the queue, that does not make them pass.
The point of a sandbox game, is that the admin hands us the tools, and we decide how to use them rather than their being a wrong or right way.

There is a solution that both affects founderless and founder regions yet does not stop the founder directly.
Liberations could remove border control from everyone except the founder, and clear the regional banlist and password on passage.
This way Liberations are an effective way to annoy a region even if it has a founder. It would be a much more effective tool on regions without a founder, too.
