Annihilation April/May Massacre: Cybersexing Deletions

Pre-empting the inevitable barrage of threads over in Moderation asking "Why was X deleted?!" following 30+ reasonably well-known forum denizens vanishing in a seemingly abrupt hellstorm of nuclear mod wrath, and to also make sure anyone else who may have escaped the carnage gets the message:

What began at the end of 2015 as a fairly routine inappropriate content report turned into a massive, multi-month investigation into players using Nationstates for erotic roleplay. The site rules specifically state that obscene content is not allowed, and that the site is restricted to a PG-13 level.

This includes player telegrams.

Although moderation does not make a habit of looking through player TGs to actively search for such material, when we come across it while investigating something else, we cannot simply ignore it and turn a blind eye. Especially when several of the participants are either underage or potentially courting underage players, roleplaying out graphic erotic situations involving underage characters, and so on.

This is not acceptable. This has never been acceptable. This will never be acceptable.

As such, here's the summary of the aforementioned nuclear mod wrath:

The following are Delete-On-Sight due to the sheer volume/varieties of cybersexing that they were caught at coupled with prior warning histories:

-Loving Embrace
-The Lovers
-Atrulia
-Inayen/Parafu
-Heavenly underlings
-Ravenflight
-Psycentric
-Lingria
-Colonial Rhodesia
-Korona Alliance

The following have had their nations puppetswept for excessive cybersexing, and a 6-month ban on using telegrams with any new puppets (note that attempting to use puppets to evade the ban will result in the deletion of all new nations and a likely upgrade to DOS status):

-Neema
-The Flame Dawn
-New Strausberg
-Chaos Crescent

The following nations are deleted for at least one instance of obscene telegram content, and a 6-month ban on using telegrams with their other nations (note that attempting to use puppets to evade the ban will result in the deletion of all new nations and a likely upgrade to DOS status):
-Illan
-The United Eastern States of Europe
-TotallyNotEvilLand
-Xanama
-The Carlisle
-Carcharhinidae primari
-Mirakai
-The New Russo-Serbian Conglomerate
-The Germanian states
-New Aksarben
-Videssos
-Crumlark
-Skyline United
-Derpopoliss
-Kazarstan
-Nexusaru
-Nation Truth
-Blood and insanity [Moderator Edit - Cogitation] "Blood and Insanity" was a mistake; their name was put on the wrong list when categorizing nations for Mod action. [/modedit]
-Scamvidia
-Ulvenes
-Bogs Bunny
-Ssotab

Nationstates is a political simulator, not a hookup site for horny teenagers and adults who have nothing better to do than engage in badly written pornography. If that's all you're here for, leave immediately.

Well, that is quite disturbing. I know some of those people. At least it has been dealt with.

Yeah, seems about right.

Anyway, thanks for taking care of them, mods. Truly the greatest threat NS has ever known.

It's at the top of all the forums so that everyone can see it.

My heart goes out to the mods who had to deal with the content passed around in the TGs, I can't imagine what awful things were hidden away in the depth's of people's inboxes.

Yanno what's interesting?
I got a lucky break months ago when i got caught reporting something else.
I know probably 1/3 of the people on that list, and i've told at least a few to NEVER do this on NS because i got caught.
One of them is now DOS, and he's one i had to shut down repeatedly before he moved to offsite like i kept saying. Apparently he didn't do it with others...

I'd feel bad for them, but, honestly... i'm pretty sure i gave all of them warning numerous times from personal experience. If people don't believe me or listen, i guess i need to try harder or just watch them fade away.

As much as it saddens me, job well done Reppy. And i really do feel bad for all that crap you had to read, most people are REALLY bad at it. I hope your brain recovers.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

No it wasn't. There were incidents of players utilizing questionable coding to achieve certain ends, particularly on gameside.

Mind you, any time I have reported something inappropriate, it was ignored. :roll:

You know, I understand moderation gets a lot of crap sometimes.

That said, I don't know what kind of depravity you lot had to dig through, but if you're looking to drink the memories away, Jim Beam is always a good bet.

Nice catch, Mods. Keep it up.

Also, good god. This is, what, the second major bust in, like, a month? You guys are keeping busy.

Understood. Least I wasn't DOSed, along with most of my friends. Have moved on to other sites for this sort of thing long since, and... well, this was a major raid. You guys are doing your jobs, I can't fault you for it. I'll keep my TGs disabled for the next six months to avoid accidentally falling into trouble.

A certain famous trial would disagree.
