Bran Astor 475 Posted January 11, 2020 What is it about a redemption story that draws us in? Is it the drama of the fall from grace? Is it the hope of a better tomorrow? Could it be that each of us has a nagging memory of a wrongdoing we hope won't follow us the rest of our IC, OOC, and IRL lives? The author of the White List Campaign telegram is betting on that. NationStates, for the most part, has a good Admin and Moderation team that does indeed protect its players. We've witnessed them warn, correct, suspend, ban, and delete accounts that commit everything from spam to flamebait to harassment. However, as most of us know, the communities and overall nature of gameplay extends to several off-site locations, such as forums, IRC, Skype, and Discord. Does the protection of the Admin and Moderation team extend to those locations? No. Do certain players take advantage of that? Yes. NationStates should be a safe space for people of all ages. A vast majority of communities have admin teams comprised of good, sensible, caring players who diligently extend the umbrella of protection to all facets of gameplay. They have long drawn a line of decency against bad behavior in the sand and proclaimed "Here we stand." The West Pacific has a long memory. We remember the White List author. We remember their actions. You and your kind will never be welcome here. Here we stand. 10 6 Clarkov, Marilyn, Dilber and 13 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Bad Badger 842 Posted January 26, 2020 With Attero, Vac, and Don commenting strongly in favor. It is the royal flush of NS dipshittery, doxxing, and deviants. 2 Bhang Bhang Duc and Marilyn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
