You could probably get away with it if you had dialup, but if you have cable or DSL IP your usually doesn't doesn't change. You can check your current IP by going to www.whatismyip.com.

Or just typing "ipconfig" in the command prompt.
But the point, I think, was that you go there and post under your nation name as a guest, giving him feedback on the article from a Pacifican's standpoint. So they would have your IP.

Look, I'd like it if people here contributed, because it might balance out a lot of the NPO bashing that's going on there now, which is what I was hoping to avoid. I also know that there's little I can do or say to counter whatever paranoia exists here, and that's fine. Just post as "Guest" if that's what you're concerned about - there's no need to reveal your identity.

Well, I will not be posting on the NwR boards, since I know only too well what they are capable of, instead, I will post my comments here. If you want to copy/paste them over you are more than welcome.
While a great improvement on previous reports, both in terms of writing style and content, your report still suffered from some inaccuracies and bias.
For starters, in your first paragraph you state:
You fail to mention that civilians are only rewarded for reporting nations that violate section 1008 of the civil code "offensive flag, name or motto". Instead you try to make it sound like a policed state, where no criticism is tolerated and there are spies on every corner. This is not true; if the criticism is well worded and constructive we have no problem with it at the NPO. It is when the criticism boils down to nothing more than hate, flaming and spamming that people are not tolerated, as is with every region.
Further down your report there are numerous mentions of the South Pacific, yet despite detailing what is rumoured to have happened there, you fail to state why it was done. You fail to state that the South Pacific has been one of the longest serving opponents of the NPO, not to mention one of the most militarily active, launching several attacks on The Pacific. This was merely retaliation, something we were quite entitled to do.
As for your Max Barry quote, you only state half of it, you fail to mention that Max Barry also called Franco the most interesting thing in NationStates.
I also notice that every single one of your sources is anti-NPO. Now, I know that you wanted to talk to the NPO and I know we refused; however, there was nothing to stop you from talking to NPO supporters, such as civilians on this board or the USSR.
I hope you will take things like this into consideration next time you do a report, and do not allow yourself to be swayed so readily by the spiteful propaganda, which is thrown around by so many.

Just a suggestion: Perhaps we could post our views here and ask Objective Reporter to post them for us on their forum. That way we are safe (they already have my IP so it doesn't matter to me) and can post our views.

I am more than happy to copy stuff over. Although, this method hardly encourages dialogue (ie., you're not going to reply to responses on that forum), but I'll take it. Here's a suggestion. Read responses to your 'posts' on the thread, then you can PM me your responses, if you like. I will continue to copy them over.

If the NPO has boycotted the Network Radio than it would be going against the boycott to give Network Radio the authority to post any parts of our conversations here, even though they obviously can as they're not IP banned.
After much thought, I declined to take part in that article by him as he wanted me to do an interview with him.
