Remove Disgraced Nations from Ban List

[A mean old man]

We're currently trying to wipe disgraced (DEAT) nations from The East Pacific's ban list but our RO can't find any of the soiled nations that are listed in the RO Border Control drop-down menu. Please advise.

I support this idea and think it probably ought to be done automatically. Would not a nation being banned from the game be superfluous to have on any regions ban list?

it probably ought to be done automatically

When we delete a nation, certain actions are taken to remove them from current positions. Having to check 22,398 regions for other signs of them is a bit much. Remember, the back end of this game isn't a database, and not everything is linked to everything else.

Please advise.

I don't have any information to address this. Hopefully an admin will come by eventually.

Thanks. And, as an update: it’s not just us. We checked with some other regional admins who are also unable to find DEATed (or even CTEd) nations on their “unban” drop-down menus. This leaves us with only two options for removing these nations: keep filling the ban list until it reaches 200 and begins to self-clear arbitrarily, or clear the entire thing. These are the exact scenarios we are actively trying to avoid.

I can confirm this, CTE nations don't show up on our admin ban list so I can't remove them.

It's been a month since I posted this. Nothing?

It seems like you'll have to troubleshoot the issue.

May I advise visiting the page of a puppet storage region, and plugging puppets into your list to clear space?

EDIT: Try that puppet storage to find nations to add: https://www.nationstates.net/region=chicken_overlords

Implemented the ability to unban CTEd nations.

Excellent. Thank you.
