Vote against censorship in erepublik!
Few days ago I published an article about current Gaza situation. I emphasize that I did not broke any rule published in erepublik wikipedia. It was not a extremist or rasist content and nobody was unfairly offended.
The very next day, due to reports by a few players supporting the murdering of Palestinian civilians by Israel (which is not accidental but intentional, as I pointed out in my article), I recieved a warning from admins and my article was deleted. Because there is NO RULE forbidding writing about real world in newspapers, admins marked it as SPAM, which is ridiculous.
From wikipedia:
„Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages.”

What may seem obvious to every averagely intelligent person which knows that WWW is not a spider's web, one can not call PRESS ARTICLE a SPAM . Simply there is no such animal as SPAM in MEDIA!!!
Sending this article as pm to users which would not wish to recieve it would be spam. I LEGALLY created a NEWSPAPER in Erep and do not force anyone to read, subscribe and vote for it.
Anyone who dislikes me writing articles on improtant events happening in real world – you're free to not read it. Still, there are many people wanting to read it and they should have the right to do so!
Therefore I strongly protest against adapting erepublik rules in order to CENSORE independent media!
Admins are not gods but ADMINISTRATORS who are obliged to obey the rules accepted by the game owners in order to make the game more PLEASANT, not RENDER UPLEASANT. Those are rules they've just broke censoring my newspaper under false excuse of spaming.
We can not allow restricting our freedom of expression! Don't let the censorship of our media!
WE'RE NOT IN CHINA!
I demand restoring my article and an official apology.
Vote for this article, let's show them what organised players can do!
Whether you agree with my article or not, it's important for the erepublik's future! Today they do not allow us to write about Palestine, tomorrow they will not allow you to write about something that is important to you!
I appeal:
unti the admins don't restore my article, DO NOT BUY GOLD FROM THE GAME OWNERS! Don't support the bringing in of authoritarism under nonsense pretextes with your money!
Organizing and solidarity is our weapon, strike – our ammunition! Fight for your rights as players and as people!
VOTE against censorship in erepublik!
STRIKE for freedom of speech!

"due to reports by a few players supporting the murdering of Palestinian civilians by Israel" Tutaj chyba troszkę przesadziłeś, większość miała problemy z tymi zdjęciami a nie tym, że w atakach Izraela giną cywile. Masz vote za cenzurę, nie powinni go kasować, a przynajmniej nie z takich głupich powodów.
Kurde czlowieku daj se spokoj i nie rob z siebie oszoloma, wrzucasz w arta jakies gorowe zdjecia, nie dasz rzadnego ostrzezenia w tytule i sie dziwisz, ze ludziom to nie pasuje(ja akurat trafilem na nie przy obiadku, mniaaaam!😁 I przestan robic z siebie paranoika i oszoloma piszac, ze dlatego zglosili twoj art bo ci ludzie wspieraja mordowanie palestynczykow. Nie alterglobal, im sie poprostu nie podobaly zdjecia. No i moze to, ze ktos robi sobie agitke polityczna w jakies grze, zamiast wyjsc na ulice i tam powydzierac mordy ze ci sie cos nie podoba.
Someone should read the "Terms of Service" more carefully.
Let me give you a hand since you obviously couldn't find them.

1- its illegal to write articles about the RL in this game. its a simple and, by the way, obvious rule.
2- leave RL politics outside of this game. it has nothing to do with it.
3- i am an israeli citizen. i believe that every action my government is taking right now in this war is legal and needed for us to defend ourselves. im sorry to tell you, but you, as a person who probably was never in a real battlefield, was never under attacks of rockets and was never afraid that some arab will come and kill you just because of your religious, you have no saying in this matter.
only when 1/3rd of the world will be running after you to kill you just because you are who you are, then you will have a right to say what you think about our actions.
p.s.
when the americans attack iraq and killed thousands of citizen, bombed cities and innocent cevilians, just because of one terror attack, no one said anything. what was different then? america is allowed to do whatever she wants?
voted - GalArtsi - "no one said anything." Who is no one? I heard a lot of negative voices about that situation. What could we do? The same what we can do now 😉 głupi huj 😕
look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyC-z0b6L5Y
ohh and another one, just so you'll see what our "immoral army" has done in the past:

Rules state not to say things in real life.
przestań bo az żal NIE cenzurze ale także NIE głupocie piszącej o mordowaniu cywili. To Hamas ich morduje wykorzystując w sposób najtchórzliwszy z możliwych szpitale, szkoly blokowiska aby ukryc swe tchorzliwe dupska i za zasłoną cywili ostrzeliwac domostwa Bogu ducha winnych osadników
Ale to nie Izrael zerwał rozejm.A pisanie o rzeczach z RL jest uznawane na równi z reklamą.
Maruder
gdybyś przeczytał komentarze pod tamtym artykułem widziałbyś, że nie o zdjęcia im chodziło (tylko jedna osoba pisała o czytających to 12-latkach)
bigoosd
Może konkrety zamiast inwektyw? Obejrzyj czasem Al-Jazzirę a nie TVN24, to zobaczysz co Izraelczycy tam robią. Kwestia Hamasu jest osobna, nie popieram ich, ale w sytuacji brutalnej, trwającej całe lata okupacji rozumieją tą organizację nawet liczni Izrelczycy (ich w PL tv nie pokażą oczywiście). Ale jak napisałem to nie kwestia Palestyny- po prostu uwalanie artykułów za związek z realem jest idiotyczne a w świetle praw erepu- nielegalne. Więc nawet jeżeli się ze mna nie zgadzasz, powinieneś popierać sam apel do adminów. Dziś ja jutro ty. A dema i inne akcje jak najbardziej robię w realu, www.lepszyswiat.org.pl . Co nie zmienia faktu, że w erepie mam również taki zamiar.
Keep real life out of eRepublik.
NOT voted.

"1- its illegal to write articles about the RL in this game. its a simple and, by the way, obvious rule.
2- leave RL politics outside of this game. it has nothing to do with it."
There is NO RULES like this. Where?????
You are supporting your country. Ok- i think you have RIGHT to do this, and write about it! And- if you will write article about "Hamas murderers" and admins said this is "spam" - i will fight for your right to have another idea then mine and publish it.
Of course, if you will send me 10 pm per day with words like this- i will report you. But spam in newspaper? Man, there is no thing like this🙂
Gray
I read it. And?
Do you see "if you will have newspaper, you CANT write about real- world" ???? Show me this rule please. ANYWHERE.
Even admins know that there is no rule like this- so they try to close my lips by "spam". And of course, this is no spam, maybe in China it is😉

the game is a SIMULATION of the real world and the real world's politics. therefore, using RL politics to influence the politics in this game is oblivously forbidden, and writing articles about real life does that. and even if there is no such rule, it is painfully obvious that it is not allowed.
the admins have deleted articles about the plaestenians AS WELL as article of the israeli side. they didn't delete your leters only.
and again, please leave RL politics outside of this game. it takes the fun out of it.
Dlatego vote dostałeś mimo ze sama treść poprzedniego artykułu idiotyczna (swój pogląd na temat tzw "wojowników o wolność" odcinającym ludziom głowy na wizji emitowane w al Jazira mam jeden) o tyle cenzurze mówię zdecydowane nie (jak mogłeś zobaczyć w pierwszej części mojego poprzedniego posta)
@Afterglobal
Let me point to you just a couple of articles in the ToS.
1 Introduction
This Website is owned and provided by SC ERPK WEB SA [...]
2.2. All the users of eRepublik can create content on the site. Therefore there are some rules to be followed regarding this.
You must NOT:[...]
- use defamatory, racist, [...] violent, abusive, insulting, [...] comments, avatars or pictures;[...]
- transmit any unsolicited, unauthorized advertising or promotional materials, [...] or any other form of solicitation that ERPK Web considers in its sole discretion to be of such nature;[...]
3.9. All accounts, including their resources, units, etc. are virtual objects of eRepublik. The user does not obtain ownership or any other rights for the account. All rights are reserved by the carrier. No rights, in particular exploitative rights, are given to the user.
Point being, any material that is considered to be inappropriate can be deleted without prior notice, explanations and so on.
As it is stated in the TOS(with whom you have agreed upon entering/using this site and playing this game) everything in here, including your own account, articles you post etc. are the property of ERKP Web which can do basically whatever it wants, whenever it wants through it's employees aka the admins. So yes, the Admins are like god in this game.
Yes, there was this rule that prohibited to post any non-eRep related materials and it was a good rule, because it kept the game to what it's supposed to be.. a game.
If i want to know about what happens in RL i watch the news, read the press, discuss on forums which have these topics. But please, let this RL things out of the game,.

I really understand that you dont want to read about real. Just dont subscribe my newspaper, i dont send spam in PM, you will be free from this informatons🙂 But let me write what i like- and let other people, who want to read my articles read it.
But, again and again- there is no rule that say: "you can do it", in ToS too.
And admins are not gods- they are just workers of company which owns this game. If they break laws that they give us- they act against this company, not just against players.
And, GalArtsi - i not support banishing articles of other side of this conflict. I think that they should publish what they like, if they dont break erep RULES. And articles pro-Palestinians and pro-Israelis DONT DO THAT🙂
"even if there is no such rule, it is painfully obvious that it is not allowed" -not for me. Im not slave in real and i wont be in games. I have my rights- and it is not "obvious" that i can write what i like without breaking rules from ToS and Erep laws.
Owners of Erep (not admins) wants our gold. Let say: "ok, we will buy your gold, but first respect our rights and will". It is not just about censorsip- its about all things in this game.
And, believe me, if hundreds of players will do it- it will work🙂
Admins will just get email from owners: "do what they want to". Even if we want v2😉
there is a simple rule - if you don't like the game or it's admins - don't play it. Noone can stop you from deleting your account.
Same with the newspapers in the real world - if you bring the article to the redaction and they will tell you that they don't want to print it - you may cry that it's censorship, but it's their enterprise and the readers (or here - players) will judge such policy.
damn it man, don't you get it? its a GAME. its not the place for those kind of talk. there are forums and websites dedicaded to this kind of debates. this is not one of them.
and stop whining about it! its as simple as that. the admins make the rules, and they can change them. they don't like your article? they delete it. the admins don't want you to talk about this subject in here. its their right to delete your messeges.
The same rule is what prohibits people from criticizing Ataturk, as well as limiting the topics of The Book of Dio.
You can't lift the rule without lifting it for all of it's topics, and as soon as people bring up Ataturk in the forums again, the Turks (Who spend lots of real money on the game) will be wanting it back.
Also, this falls under extremism, which isn't allowed according to rule 7.

When you don't know the difference between the game and reallife then quit the game. You last artikel fell under extremism anyway, so it is good that they removed it.
but he said cleary, that admins warn him becouse it was "spam", not for extremism (becouse it was not extremist article, just oridinary jurmalist job with good pictures, what you can see in almost all independent media in real) what is just silly.
And - as Alterglobal, i see difference between real and game- but i wanna discuss in this game real world actions too. If you Kixtart dont want to do this- just dont do this, but dont let admins ban people who want different things then you!
