Rules

Responses will not be immediate: This is a worldwide game played in people's spare time. Understand that your post might not get a response in a timely manner. Also, our region is small so if you send a message to all people it may take a few hours or days until you get an answer.

Respect everyone: Always be courteous and respectful to your fellow players. Flaming, baiting, trolling etc. result in banjection.

Stay calm: Discussion is encouraged, but if things get heated during a debate, step away from the keyboard.

Speak English: English is the language of NationStates, so please use it or provide an English translation for your fellow regionmates.

Take time to read: If you ask a question and are directed to look it up somewhere, look it up instead of demanding a full page answer.

No advertising: This includes dispatches, factbooks, polls, events, and of course recruitment, unless permission is given by the Delegate or R.O. Exceptions such as campaigning or regional news is allowed. NO EXCEPTIONS

Puppets: While puppets are allowed, they cannot vote on ANY polls.

No asking for endorsements: Endorse other nations to be endorsed back, instead of asking in the RMB. Personally telegramming the nation is also an alternative.

Please Avoid double posting: You should always use the Edit button at the bottom right of your post to add more information.

No feeding the trolls: Instead of giving attention, notify the Delegate and Judges and wait for them to act.

No inappropriate content: Examples include but are certainly not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, fascism, nazism or any other hate speach.

No puppetwanking: Don't use puppets to ban evade, like your own posts, or create false conversations or vote. It makes the region look more like a puppet storage rather than a real region.

No real life politics: We're here to have fun playing NationStates, not to get stressed in political discussions.

No Real Names: This is a public website with hundreds of thousands of nations. Some might not have the best intentions. Please, as this is for your own saftey.
