Is the Army Times Dancing With Wolves?
bombonato
I published a really clean article this morning.
It was deleted within an hour, as Spam, and another FP was levied.
The same standard, automated notice was sent, and as always there was no explanation of exactly what-- what photo or text or what-- was deemed to have been in violation of the Laws.
I now republish this morning's article, with one change.
You will notice the absence of the "RL > Game" segment, with its links to an international disaster relief donation page.
Maybe I was wrong, and Game > RL after all.
Persistent Appeal Successful
Army Public Affairs Office Famous Points Removed!
Dateline: Tuesday March 22, 2011 (Day 121😎
Location: With the US Army Garrison, Japan
Reporter: Major George Armstrong "Old Man" Custer
The March 17 edition of The Army Times was reported as and determined to be Spam, the article deleted and a Famous Point levied against this Organization. That judgement was marked "cannot be appealed" but I did anyways.
If you'll check yesterday's Custer's Stand (my own newspaper), I detailed the events leading to the reversal of that paper's judgement. Early today I received word that this newspaper has also been absolved of any wrongdoing, the Forfeit Point has been removed.

Feedback (eRepublik) to me
Dear George Armstrong Custer,
I remove the also the penalty assigned to the Army Public Affairs Office org for the same article,
Kind regards,
Look! No RL Army, no motorsports!
Betcha these guys are playing the most popular game on the internet, eRepublik!
In Other News:
The US and Indondesia have agreed to end active hostilities, with Indonesia declaring Thailand as their Natural Enemy and the US declaring No Natural Enemy.
We thank the Indos for the battles which helped many US fighters complete a couple of NE related Missions, and look forward to seeing you on the battlefield again someday... next time on your turf.
Visit us on IRC, Rizon server, #usa-army, and meet the soldiers.
Game Night is Thursdays, and there's almost always some game or bull session going on.

Army Public Affairs Senior Officer

No comment, because I don't want to lose a day of work and war for exercising my American 1st Amendment rights.
One thing this game has taught me has been the value of Free Speech, and how much we Americans TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
Read some history. Americans fought and died for this Right that we enjoy as if it was for free, and not paid for in blood.
Yes, I know that this is a game. I know this is a corporation, and they have the right to do anything and everything with us as their customers. There is no Free Speech in eRepublik without facing the possibility of facing sanctions.
i also ranked up on them :3

whoever has been reporting your articles is a coward.
whichever mod is colluding with him is worse than that.

Same thing happened to me. Probably an INCI complaint.
