Your argument is against all condemnations, and I believe it to be short sighted. I for one will not stand for this community being dragged through the dirt by people like Jocospor until outsiders start calling us all racists. We need to stop it here. This may be one reason why founders aren't a good thing.

My argument is not against all condemnations, I have no idea how you got that understanding.

Your condemnation isn't going to do anything except bring unneeded attention to the filth.

You mean to say we've sent you 11 or 12 telegrams (someone was counting) over our just-under three years of existing in the NationStates world. Personally, we wouldn't consider that spam.

OOC: On this point, because it's important: Spam, to me, at least, implies worthless content on a highly frequent basis. Of course, some of you will all think that I've achieved that with flying colours. If you really believe that, then it's your responsibility to block me if you don't want to hear from me. As I'm sure you can imagine, I get scores of telegrams every day telling me to fuck off. It would be unreasonable to expect me to manually filter out the hundreds of nations that don't want to hear from me, surely. Therefore, I'm asking you all, if you don't like my telegrams, please block me. You'll save yourself "spam", and I'll save myself abuse.

Cool, except you need to keep in mind the OSRS says sending more than one campaign TG per resolution is “spam”. You’d do well to keep that in mind if you want to keep sending them out period.

OOC: OSRS says more than one telegram seeking approval for a proposal might be considered spam. It only becomes spam if it's reported, which is why it's generally safer just to send only one. I've been in contact with the mods on this, I'm already aware. Thank you anyway. I will interpret your "cool" in good faith.

The rule states clearly that "More than one request per proposal may be considered spam." You might also want to bear in mind that several mods are (or have puppets which are) Delegates of various regions, so reporting is a given. If you want to risk losing $$s worth of telegrams (no refunds for illegal campaigning) and a TG ban over that particular bit of rules lawyering, fine with us.

Uh, at least 9 of which have come in the last month or two - that have landed in my inbox personally, anyway. I could say that I have been kindly quiet with my WA TGs in my years on NS, too, but if I send 13 of them out next week, that's still mad spammy, even if I've been around for a while before I do it. It's not reasonable to insinuate that you've spaced these out over the years by any stretch of the imagination.

OOC: No, it's not. I agree with you there. But do you seriously consider 9 telegrams over two months spammy? That's about 1 telegram every 10 days. I'm sure you get plenty of telegrams, being such an influential region.

If I got 1 telegram every 10 days sent to me personally you're right, that's fine, but sending a telegram every 10 days to the entire WA is different. And more than a little spammy.

OOC: I see what you mean. We're going to have to agree to disagree then. I will work harder to make sure my telegrams and their frequency are within site rules, however.

I don't feel like I should have to make clarifications for you over telegrams that you yourself are sending. But to further clarify, that's 1 TG from 2 months ago and 8 TGs within the last 30 Days. The first two TGs were sent less than a day apart. That's more than one TG per week. I mean, you sent the TGs, you know when you sent them. I don't have to do the math for you.

XD :lol:

I'm Centrist and Internationalist, but I value national laws-to a degree-and this was made by whiny people who are mad he stopped a capital punishment ban bill, is how I see it.

I just view this bill as corrupt, is all.


I'm pretty sure most people here don't really care about that bill, or the GA in general. I'm pretty sure that the whole fascism thing is considered more important, since people have been using the SC to oppose fascism long before he wrote that repeal proposal.

For the record, I oppose. As everyone said, no need to give them more recognition.
