Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

I think it's a lil too late now... but Biain just deleted all the forum members who had 0 posts...

This makes sense from a tidying perspective but has very negative effects:

1. Makes our forum look kinda lame
2. Prevents the chance of mass e-mailing hundreds of people some of whom may have come back to the game.
3. It has been one of my goals to get 1000 forum members. and this makes me kinda depressed... and discouraged.

There isn't too much that can be done now... and Biain didn't technically do anything "wrong" but I'm just a lil pissed off at the moment.

Some very old and venerable members who had just sat in the region but never posted on the forum had joined the forum in the past and we now do not have their e-mails or any other information to contact them with if we ever decided we wanted to.

I am also concerned that new nations who had just joined the forum in the last week or so and had no posts but were coming online had their accounts deleted.

So yeah.... just complaining here... I doubt there is any way to get them back now.

Actually only deleted those who haven't been active in the last 190 days (i.e haven't been on the forum in the last 190 days) and had less than 10 posts. Don't really see the need to keep them around for ego puposes, and I'm pretty sure our region doesn't look lame for having got rid of inactive forum members, anyone who comes on here regularly (including diplos) realises we do not have over 800 active members.

Ok, and agreed... but it doesn't really benefit us to not have them... it may impress a few people here and there and it's kinda a testament to the region and the forum that it had been able to gather that many people over time... active or not.

That being said... as I have said... I'm just complaining a lil bit because I know there's nothin to do about it now. I just think it's too bad for me personally... and that I don't think it really has to be done again...

But no need to dwell on it...

This is not correct.

As MoE, I keep track of every PM sent, who's in Validation, etc. I assure you that several people to whom I'd sent welcom PMs, and at least 3 who were validating, all with forum join dates within the last three weeks, are all GONE.

Hmm don't know how that is possible being that I always set the first condition as activity (i.e. hasn't been active in the last so many days) rather than post count (the conditions are also on an and basis rather than a or one as well).

I assume the forum logic filter saw zero posts (new member or validating) and assumed infinite inactivity. However, the damage is done. *shrug*

Just be more careful/selective next time.

Biain, did you just delete posts in the court room?

In future could you just split them off, apologies if you did and I haven't seen them.

Posts deleted were not conductive to the trial or the atmosphere there should be in a courtroom (especially when the matter is serious) splitting them off would have had no effect on the trial or anything else, keeping them would have been a waste of time and space and just let AV and Bassy carry on a ridiculous conversation which may have had an effect on the trial by biasing Bassy.

Well in general in my opinion its best to have as many posts around as possible in case they're needed. Some posts are just junk... but sometimes you can split threads and then move all the weird posts into the archive area.

edit: And while we're at it biain....... you left your dirty dishes in the sink last week... and don't forget to take out the trash and recycle

(i apologize if that humor did not come through properly in text)

I have talked to AV about toning it down and not acting like he did, I don't know if he took it on board, I think because he thinks that Gov didn't commit any crimes, which he didn't, but no-one can, there are no laws which kinda needs to be sorted, he can act how he wants cause he thinks it isn't that serious.
