I always wondered. What does DEAT stand for?

DEAT = deleted

It is a term from a long way's back. It started out as a typo. Someone who had been banned, instead of typing "death" wound up typing "deat", and for some reason it stuck. It is now the site's slang for a nation that's been deleted.

Wasn't that Neutered Sputniks making a typo when deleting someone? :unsure:

As a potential Dualist I could say that god fucked off once he created the universe and started the evolutionary process and left an idiot in charge, the deputy manager.

Jesus was an envoy of the original god, but was killed by the deputy manager for job security.

No. Neut was quoting it, I think.

The NS quotes thread on Jolt attributes it to someone called Islamic Ummah (IIRC), but that may not be the original either.

But would you be able to do it?

God, remember, is omnipotent - that includes the ability to persuade you not to apply a DEAT.

God has no place on NSG.
Even the great usurper Loki agrees and would take up arms immediately. :)

But, Loki is a God, God is banned on NSG...Ergo, Loki is banned! :eek:

You all know what God is thinking about gays, slaves, the role of the woman, abortion, etc. I don't have to quote them.

We know what God is thinking? :eyebrow:

I think that would depend on which religion you follow, who's to say Loki doesnt have a monotheistic cult to him, ;)

But is that what Loki thinks, or what you think?

Given his reputed ego, I am sure that he would consider himself as God, and not merely a god. Thus, by his own self identification he would be banned.

Would the mods ban God?
Would this suggest that the mods are bigger as God?
Would God punish the mods?
What would be the punishment?


Yep.
Nope.
Perhaps...did they repent?
If they did not... :twisted:

God, remember, is omnipotent - that includes the ability to persuade you not to apply a DEAT.

Which god are you talking about? Besides, I'm a Mod; I have more power than any god here. :p

I can't speak for the mods, so maybe each mod should give their opinion about the subject.

My answer would be that he/she wouldn't be banned until they broke one of the rules.

Probably. The Christian God would probably flame someone (maybe literally) at the drop of a hat. However, I doubt he could do anything to the mods or NS. They are both under Reppy's great protection.

You all really believe that Reppy could take on God?

I dont see why not, Reppy has shown herself to be a lot more in the material realm, for example, ;)
