A clean Erepublik forum
Plato
Dear Citizens,
A clean Erepublik forum
Starting this week, we will start moderating with more attention the forum. We took this decision after several Citizens complained about the language and trolling used on the forum. Until we will change the forum format and have forum moderators (in the new version of Erepublik), discussions will be moderated by the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-2.html]admin[/a] .
Within the Erepublik forum and site, any illegal or immoral discussions (obscenity, vulgarity, pornography, xenophobia, racism etc.) are strictly forbidden. This rule applies also to avatars, signatures and Citizen names. In forum discussions, offending others in order to prove you are right is not OK and its also not very effective. Don't answer with insults to insults; report to us the offending message (please use the [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/contact.html]contact form[/a] ) and we will take all necessary measures. We will not tolerate insults, threats or other unjust manifestations to other Citizens. Please, use arguments not invectives. Learn to respect other Citizens’ personality and opinion. Those who will not respect this rule will be temporarily banned and their comments will be deleted.
Please do not try to use “*“ or “beep” instead! We all know how to read between the lines and, since the intention is the same (to attack other Citizens), you will be banned for it. Also, as this is an international forum, we only accept posts (in the forum) in English, as we consider that it is an internationally known language (it is still OK to use national languages for national papers).
Of course the vast majority of Citizens already follow these rules and we hope that from now one everyone will. We can all just concentrate on having fun, helping and or competing with each other and using our smarts and wit.
Other issues:
- New rule: each law will become active within one hour after being approved by Congress. This will also include war proposals.
- A great wedding between [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-7279.html]Allyenna[/a] and [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-170481.html]Zhuge Liang[/a] took place last weekend. Find out more details [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-262831.html]here[/a] in the article coverage of the event, written by [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-3217.html]Lint[/a]
- Have a look at our [a url=http://blog.erepublik.com/a-walk-in-the-park-for-our-team/]team picture[/a] that we took yesterday in a local park. Now you can put a face on the mysterious [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/profile-2.html]admin[/a]

Thanks for your support,

Hmm... Cool pics.
Way to kill what little fun this two-clicks-a-day simulator had. Anyone who takes Pakistan\'s glorious patriotism seriously has no understanding of the internet as a whole.
This is the internet. Nothing matters. Any who take it seriously have in turn, serious mental problems, or some sort of horrible egoism.
erepublik=fail
Gratz!
These rules are ridiculous. You can be banned for \"immoral\" posts? Gee, that isn\'t incredibly broad at all. Insults? What kind of world simulator is this? You can have wars, but not insults?
And because this is an international website, you can only post in English? lolwut? That makes zero sense. While I\'m amused that it will probably hurt the Swedes, it\'s an asinine policy.
Are you sure those wigs don\'t have lead in them, admins?
To \"tozlink\"
I read your comment and I can olny say that your perception is wrong. The admins don\'t want any insults in here because insults might turn this simulation game into a simulation of insults, which is bad...
And besides, what do you feel when you\'re insulted? Angry, right? If you don\'t want to be insulted, don\'t insult others.. Please..
Did you know Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. Why not make that the main language? 😛
Good news 😃
Thanks for your work!
is moron an insult?
Yep, so does that mean MPP\'s are active within an hour? That would stop Sweden doing what they did to Germany and France and Italy doing what they did to Swizerland. It would make it fairer.
Finally
Cleaning the forum from the spammers = Fantastic. Banning \"immoral discussions\", what can I say, this is sad. When it comes to politics for example, let\'s say that I was telling people that \"I\'m a communist, I support Lenin and Soviet\" in real life. (I\'m not a communist, but anyway.) Believe me, some people would find this very offending. Same goes for supporting other political persons and ideologies like Bush, the British monarchy, Juche or Fascism. These are all things that have taken lifes, and in some part of the world it would be considered very rude and immoral to say that you support any of these.
The things is, this is a political simulator, so I was hoping for a place where supporters of all kinds of ideologies and political systems could compete and have fun. If I start a party and get banned for stating my political views this game kind of looses it point in my opinion.
REPORTAN GAEMS
Good news! Thanks for your efforts!
I respectively disagree with Kaleb and would like to comment that his actions on the global community only brings strife and intolerance.
It is however unfortunate that my right to free speech has been taken away. My fate are in the hands of a very partial and bias source it seems now.
Welcome to 1984.
\"respectively disagree with Kaleb and would like to comment that his actions on the global community only brings strife and intolerance.\"
isn\'t that joke getting old already?
eRules!
eRepublik!
Reeducation!
While I can understand the need to moderate the forums, I feel that these actions will mostly affects my people for we have a very different culture (OOC : we are role playing). the definition of \"vulgarity\" for instance. What is tolerated? Can we still say pig-digusting?
what is an \"other unjust manifestations to other Citizens\" exactly. If for instance I disagree with Kaleb, or think he is lying to everyone. Can I say \"Kaleb is a liar\" and argue my point to prove it or will I get banned for \"other unjust manifestations to other Citizens\"?
I understand that pornography is not allowed, that\'s only normal. But we can also argue the point of xenophobia and racism. A lot of people hate the pakistani indiscriminately for our religion and our nationality. I never report them for I believe the right of free speech should be granted to everyone and I, as well, hate the sweden for it is written in my Ereligion that they are evil people. If I want to follow these rules, must I argue my point all the time with the swedish actions I do not support? Because if that\'s the case, the tension will really rise high.
other unjust manifestations to other Citizens what is Unjust? If Grev per manifest himself to the swedish people that seems fair to me. Same goes for ex-swiss to Italy or France. But for instance, is it just for me to express my hate of Billy Bob Joe, a man who has said a lot of bad thing about our people? I\'m being confused by the term.
Well, I don\'t ask you to understand but at least I would like to have specific rules about what words are vulgar or not (or at least so examples sothat I know where the limit is) and what is considered \"other unjust manifestations to other Citizens\". Because these are not very clear.
Our freedom of speech is in danger.
Who decides what\'s unclean? Why can\'t I use my own language?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
(You don\'t ban anyone who brokes rule 4, but will do it with people who call \"*\" to people who is a 😉
There is another problem with usage of RL countries shown here. One cannot clearly distinct where roleplaying ends and true xenophobia and racism starts. With all respect to admins but this is a political game not teletubbies. Some words will be harsh, some will be violent. People will call for ePatriotism. And that means eNationalism, eRacism or even eHatred wil be around as much as eFriendship and eTolerance. Let us not turn this game into a mockery of itself. Like Kaleb suggested, let\'s make RP sections with different rules applied and consider all press articles as a part of RP too. Lets not kill the social and political aspect of the game on the altar of political correctness. This was meant to be a new world! However it seems that real world determines it at every step.
Why weren\'t Dio\'s marriages included? I love my husbandu~ very much I\'ll have you know.
The moderation in the forums was a necesary measure. Also in the next versión I think that it\'s necesary to put a link to report coments more easily.
Translation to Spanish: http://www.erepublik.com/article-275912.html
mucho lirili y poco lerele. Menos atención al lenguaje y los post y más a los hechos, que me han desaparecido ya 60 puntos de training de la noche a la mañana y por mas reports q envio no he recibido ni una puñetera explicación.
Maybe someone can start a erepublik role playing forum?
Yeah this is pathetic. The froums shouldn\'t be moderated, or else half the population will be immediately banned. I mean the forums won\'t be able to be used anymore. That\'s how bad it is.
\"Welcome to 1984.\"
Exactly
Well I hope you can respond to why anyone gets banned. Still no answear to my ban.

Platonic\'s article on censorship has more votes than an EI article? Hmmmm...
I like how it only has 13 votes after all this time. No one likes this.
@admin, stop modulate people behavior.. its a life simulation like u dream about! if you manage all player to do what you like and not doing what you dislike, its just the same like all player only as a doll and pupets for you!
and once again, no free speech?? thats not republik! thats comunism! i\'m not VOTE this article.
Clean of tardigrades.
when Kaleb try to insult Indonesian, you even dont give him any punishment. When Indonesian insult norway, you give them temporary ban.
My goal of bringing eRepublik to my high school as an education system is nigh complete!
i don\'t know what can i say what i can\'t... so it wouldn\'t be better to close the forum??
like someone already said... welcome to 1984, a book written by George Orwell
@Benn Dover, I think for that idea of bringing eR to schools you will get better results if you contact some programmers and ask them to program something you can run in a controlled environment in your school and outside of the (lots of different people who make the) internet (as \"\"\"dangerous\"\"\" as the streets).
Or maybe, eR creators will have an \"Install eR in your school\" package when they release v1. Who knows.
> habisi_aku: I think that\'s a great way of doing it. Go admin! 🙂
\"respectively disagree with Kaleb and would like to comment that his actions on the global community only brings strife and intolerance.\"
isn\'t that joke getting old already? >>>> it\'s not a joke, seriously.
lol \'xenophobia\' anyone who hates aliens? lololol
@xMaiacx - he\'s not being serious, that\'s 4chan humour. if you think he is being serious what \'strife and intolerence\' am I supposed to be bringing?
Are you serious Kaleb? HUH I guess Belgium would want a say in that. Also all the people you constanly troll and put down in the forums.
Also, can you please explain why comments with capital letters or with the word \"tardigrade\" have caused its posters to be banned?
Happy New Years everyone, wasn\'t 1983 a great year?
Congratulations, you are already starting to ruin the game.
Real Life simulator, yeah right. You should call it Teddy Bear simulator instead.
I\'ve already said my piece on this. You arbitrary set moral standards and refuse to explain why. You ignore any and all possible points to the contrary. You hypocritically say you \"listen to the suggestions of your user base\" but clearly decide to be very selective about what suggestions you listen to. I\'ll ask you again: Why do you ban \"immoral\" discussions? Who gave you the right to decide what is or is not good? And let me remind you, the second you respond with \"Our site, our rules\", you have violated the entire point of having a \"republic simulator\".
Tell us the truth. Tell us you\'re too afraid of being sued to allow for an actual discussion. Tell us money is more important to you than your actual game. Go on, you\'ve already made it very clear in everything but words that you\'re perfectly willing to sacrifice your own ideals to line your pockets. You might as well make it official.
- New rule: each law will become active within one hour after being approved by Congress. This will also include war proposals.
active within one hour after being approved by Congress. This will also include war proposals.
also include war proposals.
yeah, I was also worried about that. does that mean congress only has 1 hour to approve a war proposal? or does that mean the war becomes active 1 hour after congress has approved it? if it\'s the former it\'s very open to abuse as you can sneak it through without all congress realising
\"Tell us the truth. Tell us you\'re too afraid of being sued to allow for an actual discussion. Tell us money is more important to you than your actual game.

*PLAYER HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY BANNED*
Remember Comrades, Big Brother is always watching.
Juas juas juas, the spanish people will be know now by the wedding. In fact is better be know by these that by political and economic shame.
Thanks to be here admins.
NaCl u2
\"each law will become active within one hour after being approved by Congress.\"
They say its after its been approved so i think they mean after the vote ends then after an hour the rule is passed.
