New Nations Arrivals ?

[GOLTZBORG]

Where do you go to see a list of all of the new nations that have recently arrived here at NS ?

Thanks in advance for any and all informative replies.

If you mean new foundings, there’s a tab in the activity feed for that. If you mean something else… please expand on what you mean because then I don’t know what you’re asking.

What "activity" feed ? Where's the "activity" feed located ?

I meant to ask ....... when someone creates a new nation / account here at NS, it use to be posted somewhere....so that regions could send out invitations for the new nations to join.

I created my nation 11+ years ago....but left for awhile....and just recently returned after 7+ years.

The World Activity Feed moves too fast for anyone to read anything.

Years ago....you could stop the feed in order to read, or else it just moved way-way slow....so you could pick out the new arrivals / new nations.

It still has a little pause button at the top, way over to the right

I suppose there's also https://nationstates.net/cgi-bin/api.cgi?q=newnations, that only updates when you refresh the page -- fair warning though, it's an API shard which means you can only refresh the page 50 times in 30 seconds, see the API documentation for more information, and the ratelimit section in particular.

Given that new nations are almost never created at anywhere near that ratelimit, you'd never want a refresh rate like that. One refresh every ten minutes would surely catch everyone.

The double-arrow icon reverses the order, so you can take your time to page through it. Very convenient when looking for offensive nation names.

That’s a good point, yeah. I think I call it closer to 1/90s in my manual recruitment aid program so that you don’t lose time in between telegrams though. Anecdotally, there’s usually a group of at least four that gets founded in that time if you’re telegramming during peak hours.

Huh, well to me using that resource to find offensive nation names would seem almost like using a microscope to find a needle in a haystack. The only way to look for offensive names (which, honestly, no one should do), is really just to bump into them wherever they show up, at which point you might then need to apprehensively gray mods' hair. As for using that resource in terms of regional recruitment, I felt as though a recruiter may prefer the standard chronological order since they probably would want to see the freshest foundings, with the pause button next to it more so aiding in that goal.

Of course, anytime, we’re all here to lend a hand!

Really? That's been a moderation task since the early days. Deliberately offensive or overtly sexual nation names are not allowed.

The mods have a better tool that auto-highlights common offensive terms and variants. I can clear 12 hours worth in about 5 minutes.

Tangentially related, I saw a nation named Screw you get founded around two days ago, is this not allowed?

You can report offensive nation names via Getting Help. I wouldn't bother with that one, as it's just this side of permissible. If it had offensive motto. animal, or currency (it didn't), it might have crossed the line.

Totally aware, just wasn't sure if I needed to clarify that to you

That's kinda neat, actually!

I can attest to this policy.
