Postby Naurobia » Thu Jul 14, 2011 9:37 am

How would things be different if you were running nationstates? If I was running nationstates I would really only make 5 changes. I would have the outcomes of the issues be more realistic and not exaggerated. I would implement an auto-lock system so that once a thread on NS forums becomes too old and no one has posted in it for a certain period of time it would be automatically locked to prevent grave digging. I would also require that a users email address be given in order to access the forums to help prevent trolling, flaming, and etc. and the last change I would make is I would police the mods much more to prevent them from becoming overzealous and abusive of their powers. And of course I would also lift the ban on swastika's and other symbols associated with National Socialism.

Lift the ban on swastikas would be my main goal, and not much more.

I would ban on sight everyone articulating a wrong opinion.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

I'm going to ask a question: Can you stay serious for over 5 seconds?

I would... I don't know, I guess make things more realistic.

Today, the only market system ever exist is state capitalism. It is designed in a way that the state takes the risk while the private sector profits from it.

Bring back the Public Poll Option. I know it is a technical site problem but if I could I would.
lol. As long as the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution exist in Cuba their will not be any western style democratic changes in Cuba, the revolution is eternal according to them. I will never take any fellow nation before the Mod Gods and our Almight Goddess Violet for any reasons, not even if it is against me. No I am not a saint and I am not perfect, only God is perfect. I choose to ignore as allowed under NS rules. I will never tell a fellow nation what to post, as was demanded of me, to fit their political views, how dare I. Not even the RPs are safe anymore, that is sad, very sad. I am an RP addict with real world nations, leaders and statistics. We don't use NS stats we hate NS Stats, but we will index RL stats to NS stats when needed. lol.

It is impossible for me to be wrong. I tried once. It just gave me a nosebleed. Which was naturally precisely what I had predicted would happen.

Probably lift the ban on swastikas. That's all really I think Max Berry is doing just fine. After all there's a reason thousands of nations have been created here.

No, the site would be closed between 10 pm until 7 am.

EST. Everybody else would have to adjust to that.

So that would mean I am not allowed to play NS from 7PM to 4 AM?

Well, that certainly would be a good thing for those that are up in the wee hours of the night on NS.
