The staff will be relaxing the prohibitions on spam effective immediately. From here on out, the staff will no longer issue warns for one word posts expressing general approval to an announcement (e.g "Hail", "yay", "congrats" ect). Players should note that posts containing only emoticons or 'o/' will still be considered spam. Revisions in Bold:

Side by side comparison might be helpful here. Nice contributions gentlemen.

Erase lines and form... [spoiler]Diamonds? [/spoiler]

I'll just save you all some time by announcing the victory of the ~vile fascists~.

I'd like to take the opportunity to announce the additions of Xena of Amphipolis, Elend, Que Sera Sera, and Lucius Cornelius Sulla to the moderation team. Over the years they've demonstrated themselves to be solid players of commendable judgement and character. It is our belief they will excel in serving the community now as members of the staff. We're pleased to have them with us.

I like the larger size, I think it effectively conveys the gravity of the situation.

Please stop talking about cheese and triangles, you're making me hungry.

I think that's enough for one day.

Let it be known I am now collecting tithes on behalf of the new restored evangelical church of cuba. That being said, this thread isn't actually about miracles it's alleging a terms of service violation. World Affairs IC isn't the venue for this. If you'd like to report game abuse, there is a forum for that under moderation.

Daily reminder that discussing moderation issues will result in a warn. :psyduck:

Another reminder to keep discussion of staff issues out of this thread. Allegations of ToS violations may be reported to the staff through the moderation forums.

This is basically an ooc thread. Moved.

This thread doesn't seem to be about valhalla anymore.

This thread doesn't really seem to be about IRON anymore.

We don't allow these threads.

Discussion centering on allegations of real money transactions for in game nations is considered discussion of moderation issues, consider yourselves verbally warned, and refrained from further posts on the matter.

Further discussion of moderation issues will not be tolerated, consider yourselves warned (if you haven't been already). This includes discussion and speculation on the purchase of nations.

Recently we received several letters from various members of the roleplaying community requesting/suggesting various reforms be made to the existing system for cnrp, and its structure of presentation. To summarize them, there was a proposal that new forums be created to cater to offshoot rps, that GM selection be returned to mod appointment, and a general request for more of a presence in the wider community on the part of the staff. To respond to the first: The short answer to this question is that the creation of an entire new sub forum to support each new rp seems a little extreme to us. However we do acknowledge that 'the cnrp' has historically been given substantial staff support relative to its competitors. To this end, we will in the future sticky map threads belonging to other RPs provided: that they command a nontrivial following, and posses a decent body of related content (as we have with CNRP2). We're happy to support other rp's, but we would to also like to promote stability in the forum structure and avoid continuous work for the admins. With regards to the second: The existing GM system was brought into existence for two overriding reasons. 1: Much of the staff has little direct experience with your community and its intricacies. I'm sure many of you can agree that the rules as they exist are byzantine, built upon years of precedent and difficult for even a very interested new player to penetrate, much less non participants. 2: We aren't producing the content, you are, and to that end we shouldn't be defining the framework of your play- that should be your privilege and responsibility. So when I say that we're hesitant to select your GMs or set your rules, I hope you understand why and where they comes from. As is stipulated in the guidelines for your section, we are willing to help facilitate consensus, but it's ultimately up to you all to reconcile your differences and find agreement. Finally, we concur with the last of the points raised. The RP boards have not received as much staff attention as they have enjoyed in the past: after all this section seems to generally self regulate and there are few material rule violations. In either case, we'd like to rectify this and so I'll be personally taking a greater interest in this section of the forums. While not here to direct or shape your play, I'm willing to help in any way that I can. If you need any assistance from the staff or would like to bring anything to our attention feel free to contact me. I look forward to learning more about you. Also feel free to discuss desired changes to the structure of GM selection/Rule making (if there are any) or the other proposals above.

Merged.

Return to the topic of discussion. Cease with the personal attacks, name calling, flaming, spamming, and other violations. Consider yourselves all verbally warned.

This thread is overrun with violations. Locked, warns incoming.
