Ultimatum to eRepublik staff
Rosa Violet Carson
Dear eRepublik Labs, eRepublik administrators & game-moderators & all citizens of the New World,
some of us still remember the e-cititzen Modu Shanyu. He was the author of the so-called Ataturk Ultimatum. Here's how it looked like:
And it brought the author the desired result: in the future, all players who would use vulgarities & insults against the "father" of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, would be banned without other warning! It was a just ruling, that has stopped trolls from using these kind of insults pointed at our fellow members of the eTurkish community.
I myself am not a big fan of ultimatums; I'd rather resolve my issues through sincere communication & debates, where arguments are the tools being used. But sometimes this doesn't get any results. Therefor I have decided, after trying out all other options, to formulate this ultimatum, you are about to read.
Here's the background of this story, so you can "draw yourself a picture" & understand what it's all about.
In the recent past, sadly, I've discovered openly racist & Nazi-fascist content in this great game, that we all play. I thought this were rare occurrences, coming from people who don't really think what they share in their comments, shouts & our game-feeds. I thought that these kind of statements can be dealt with using the ticketing-system; moderators would take a look & erase them, in order to keep this game free form such content. Oh boy was I wrong! Because the moderators were not reacting, these people felt empowered to escalate their misanthropic language to the point of openly glorify criminals & mass-murderers in their comments. Here's one of them, just to illustrate this case:
I've submitted a ticket, but nothing was happening, the comment was not being taken down. So I've started to call these people out through comments in newspaper-articles & replies. What happened was shocking: a few days ago, in one hour of time I was "rewarded" with 3 forfeit points (FP). I couldn't believe my eyes! Immediately, I've submitted tickets to the admins/moderators. I thought they will correct this error & will do something about that matter, stop people from posting such content. Oh boy, I was wrong again! So I have petitioned the eRepublik stuff again & again - nothing was being done, nothing was happening.
Here's how the "view-my-tickets" page looks like now (and you see only the last date of reply, not when they were opened!), while I'm writing this article:
I can understand that the eRepublik staff has much work to do, that I'm not the only one, who petitions them with tickets. But here I have a feeling that nothing will be done.
Because of all, that was mentioned above, I am giving you this
U L T I M A T U M
I am demanding from eRepublik staff to immediately delete all references, posts, comments, shouts that glorify, justify or belittle the crimes of Nazi-fascism or make revisionist claims about the horrors of holocaust!
Furthermore, I demand that players, who violate this rule, be immediately banned, without other warnings or prior notice!
This shall also apply when it is evident that players use hyperlinks to internet-sites, forums or social-network channels, who are hosting such content.
If eRepublik Labs & the eRepublik staff won't implement this ruling, I will petition my representative in the German Parliament (Bundestag) as well as the Anti-Defamation League organization, to block the eRepublik website in Germany, as well as in any other country, worldwide! I will also consult with my lawyer if a civil case can be brought against eRepublik Labs or the owners of the game, Stillfront Group, in case infringement & breach of this ruling will continue to happen.
Choice is yours!
Yours truly
~Rosa

The eRep community doesn't take you serious, why would you think the admins would? We can't totally ignore and/or block you, but they can and I'm sure they are. Would not surprise me if your tickets went into an insta-trash bin,.. I kid of course, I'm sure they are combing through every word of your tickets with the intensity of a great white shark eyeing up a seal. Or not. Keep on getting drunk and typing wasteful junk in eRep, it's probably keeping you inside instead of going outside and causing some real harm.
I'm sure you've ended this troll-post with a salute, right hand upwards.
Am I right?
Yes this is a post to a troll, so a 'troll-post' would be accurate. You forgot part of it...Right hand, palm up, fist closed and one finger up pointed at you. You can guess which finger.
The one your boyfriend likes the most?
so often, many respectable players here, refer to you as a mature person. you struck me so otherwise, cheap and very intentionally and desperately trollig someone with oh so lame arguments and way out of the core.
just say it that you are a kkk or a nazi and will be fine. otherwise, deal with the content if you can produce any valid thought on the matter. or go and dwell amongst your elites whom you pet so dearly.
Are you blind? Didn't you see the screenshot? My next article will be full of the same.
I take IT serious! This noth something to laugh about! I support this ultimatum!
insultress spams again, free speech might not be allowed via Turkey, but it is the civilized world
Really?
pretty sure nazism does not "free speech" represent.
welcome to being wrong,
https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/why-we-must-defend-free-speech
Since when is chauvinism free speech?
I find the linked article..ambiguous. On one hand they argue for free speech but...then go on to say that actually 40% ans growing number of young people think racists should NOT be given a platform to speak.
Soooo which one is it exactly?
L:eave it to the ACLU to be confusing....
Inhuman neo-fascist propaganda, hate-speech & racism cannot be considered free speech!
This should be self-evident!
I don't know about Germany honestly. However here state side lets free speech go rather far. Based on the idea of a slippery slope. Sort of a Don't like Nazi's don't talk to them, but they can yell dumb shit all day if they want. Who decides where censorship ends once it starts?
There is no free speech for those ideals that work against free speech. Nazism is not compatible with free speech.
I thought this was going to be about getting them to make the game better. Kinda disappointed.
This will make the game better!

Poor trolling
0/10
Nazis operate within christian doctrine but they are most certainly employed by Satan.

The acceptance of the ''Ataturk Ultimatum'' might be the stupidest I've ever seen in eRepublik. Good to know not everything is worse in 2017 as opposed to '08!
Really?
It is a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism
People can openly go nazi heck in Austria nazies won the campaign and guess what, they are executing their nazi politics https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/16/opinion/austria-election-sebastian-kurz.html
My country was invaded by nazies and other extremist groups that made my great-grandfather suffer but you dont see me writing tickets and referendums
Best thing you can do is simply ignore them, they are not worth your time...
Rule no.1 on the internet is: Do NOT, by any means, feed the trolls!
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
No wonder I can't get a tkt answered for 3-5 days
hahaha
At least you get an answer, i once had to wait a full month to get the mail from orgs changed.
mine are usually related to paks and money tho.. 😛
Meh, but i lost a whole term, when the month was over they kindly replied i was no cp so i couldnt ask for mail change.
This is odd, lots of low lvl accounts ( as if made over night ) defending nazi rants 😮
The masks are falling...
Banning users for expressing their opinions?
It seems you don't like national socialism, but you like their methods.
Seriously, this is ridiculous.
Wow!
Nazi supporter
