with bird weed i lost fifteen pounds. thanks bird weed!

good morning it's come to my attention that there's an issue with the attachment function of the forums. currently there's an upload limit of 500 kB per user, which is clearly shown whenever uploading new attachments. while annoying, this is an understandable restriction. once a user hits their 500 kB cap, the only way to add more attachments is to go back to old posts and remove attachments from them. normally this would be fine; however there are a couple of restrictions that make this practise impossible. firstly, if a post is hidden (e.g. the moderator practice of hiding "off topic" posts in no-discussion forums) then there's no way to edit the post to remove the attachments secondly, if a thread is locked (e.g. a completed report thread) then there's no way to edit the post to remove the attachments in the first instance, it's impossible to know if a post will be hidden, as moderator action differs between mods. in the second instance, users would have to remove their attachments between the time that alex views a report and closes it, which is impossible to predict. so far i've found no other way to remove attachments. the effect of this is that, if a user avails themselves of the provided attachment function, there's a good chance that, over enough time, their capacity to upload attachments will approach zero. i'm posting in the mod support forum because i'd like some assistance in removing my current attachments

i wish i had five bux to spend on a free browser game

nation in question: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=152918 nature of offence: this player has declared war on me with a reason of "For OOC attacks". i'm not sure what ooc attacks the player is referring to; i don't recall ever interacting with this person, let alone attacking them. nevertheless, i understand ooc justifications for war are not permitted screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/l4kKBkB.png

i get all my news from the gazette, all other outlets are fake news

@Bjorn Ironside i have tried to embargo goons but it won't let me, please help

most active alliance: afrika korps

nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=44991 ruler name: maia nature of violation: inappropriate in-game communication one of this nations cities - 'show is over' - has a custom city image that clearly contains the f word. i messaged the leader of this nation in-game but they declined to edit out the offending word

to avoid making a separate report on the same player, their nation's factbook also contains the following: https://i.imgur.com/RfHYLcE.png - "af" is circumventing filtered profanities; "shekel" in modern usage is often anti-semitic https://i.imgur.com/5k6KX4t.png - referencing rape

@Alex i know this is a busy time of the year so it's ok if you're busy, i just wanted to make sure you haven't accidentally missed this report. i've noticed you've replied to newer reports to this one, so i thought it might be a possibility. thanks in advance.

i think you'll find that it actually disproves that goons don't not know that they cannot be untrustworthy

heaven's gate is welcomed to goons' expansive bosom

nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=169600 ruler name: nicholai nature of violation: inappropriate in-game communication screenshot of description: https://i.imgur.com/Ml6pawP.png this nation's description outright references nazism now. ironically, they're accusing others of being nazis despite being the ones to reference anti-semitic nazi propaganda previously.

the government of new jazztopia welcomes this news and looks forward to following developments in robotopia with insouciance

it has been brought to my attention that this player has been warned previously for calling for the extermination of a specific group of people in their nation description. i find it highly unlikely that it's a coincidence that this player has once again called for the extermination (in capital letters) of "the eternal goon." this language only serves to reinforce the fact that it is a thinly veiled reference to "the eternal jew."

nation link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=169600 ruler name: nicholai nature of violation: inappropriate in-game communication, possibly moderation as a weapon? screenshot of description: https://s.put.re/KefpN2fK.png the first line of this nation's description mentions "the eternal goon," which is a blatant reference to "the eternal jew," a disgustingly anti-semitic nazi propaganda film. in the second paragraph, the nation's description includes the initialism "stfu," which is commonly understood to mean "shut the frick up," (word filtered in this instance) in the second paragraph, the nation also makes threats against moderators, promising to get them banned if they don't support the nation's leader the description also contains multiple out-of-character references, including cybernations and discussion of blocking/banning

the extremely socialist republic of new jazztopia acknowledges the passing of weedsylvania's leader. ambassador maliciousonion has prepared this heartfelt statement:

the management apologises for the lack of pictures and would like to offer the below image, which i'm sure you'll find satisfactory.

excuse me this is my job. geoge soros may pay well but he expects results, and i take my duties very seriously

please don't misattribute this poem. it's by the late mr baseball, may he rest in peace.

yes, it is amazing that so much effort can achieve so little. i'm not at all bitter that my exposé on the secret bird shadow government wasn't published yet again.

what if aa project made tanks usable in defense against planes instead? i know you want to link it to land but a. having more land would realistically be harder to defend, and b. it would make tanks more useful, and c. it means the defense can be dealt with over time

dear alex i'd like to revisit the suggestion of embargoes being set at an alliance level for those who haven't read the original suggestion, here's the link. additionally, here's the link to the similar suggestion of being able to embargo entire alliances on a national level, which was approved now that we've got that out of the way, i'd like to address why i think this suggestion should be reassessed: first, the things that were mentioned in the original suggestion are still valid - alliance-level embargoes would be much more impactful and create more tension in cold wars and peacetime. second, the reasons alex originally gave are more or less countered by his reasoning in the nation>alliance embargo suggestion thread - namely, if a nation doesn't like the alliance's embargo policies, they can quit the alliance. this was mentioned in the original thread as well third, there has been some recent furore over embargo spam - enacting embargoes on an alliance level would drastically reduce the number of notifications a nation would get, and also reduce (or even eliminate) the possibility of embargoes being used for harassment fourth, alex states that alliance leadership should be monitoring and enforcing their embargo policies across their membership - this is an enormous amount of work for very little gain at the moment, particularly within larger alliances. currently, to check if nations are following embargo policy one has to go through the alliance's nation list. this involves two clicks and manually reading through a list of every embargo the nation has, per nation. in an alliance of 100+ members this is a ridiculous amount of work that needs to be repeated every time embargo policy changes. sincerely maliciousonion
