Regional Moderation

NationStates has hit version 1.10! We've introduced some new features to the game which should hopefully improve the quality of everyone's playing experience. What are these features? Well:

1. Specially selected region members will have the power to personally tag and warn problem nations without the need for moderator intervention. This means that the general management of the game is more under the control of the players. Not only that but it will ease the workload for the mods. These region members will be called Regional Moderators and will get a special badge on their nations.

2. Well, there is no '2', really, but all regional mods will be invited to join the secret IRC channel where we discuss moderation. No-one else can join though, so if you have anything you want us to hear about you should ask your local reg mod.

3. Well, there is no '3' either but how else would I mention that the kitten in the photo is Tiesto? We all call him Tio.

Easter Holidays

It's the Easter holidays, as you may well have gathered, which means I can spend some time helping the mods out with NationStates. Long story short, you can expect to see some new issues in the near future. That guy in the picture's me by the way. I'm considering posting more photos of Aberdeen so, yeah, watch this space if you're interested. Which I kinda doubt but there you go.

In other news, we're going to have some fairly cool improvements to region management in the near future, for all those people wanting to teach problematic region members a lesson.
