Just to be clear: Disappearing or going inactive for the stated or perceived probationary period won't end your probationary period. We want to see improvement, not a non-presence. If we have reason to believe that you're deliberately laying low so that your probationary period will end without incident, bare minimum response is to lengthen the period, and automatic failure isn't out of the question. | Just to be clear: Disappearing or going inactive for the stated or perceived probationary period won't end your probationary period.

This news file is a compilation of Rulings that were previously posted on our bulletin board system on the MUSH. Going forward, these spot rulings will be located here, or on the MUSH's corresponding news file.
Characters w/o +Flaws/+Disadvantages
Some characters are old enough that they do not have +flaws/+disadvantages. At the time that these became required fields for characters, such characters were permitted to go on like this with the caveat that if they ever submitted an upgrade application, they would also be required to fill out their +flaws.
Going forward, when +Advantages/+Disadvantages are put into place, all players will have TIME PERIOD PENDING to change over to the new system before approval is revoked. This will include being required to submit Disadvantages.
Filch characters are not required to fill out their flaws until they are applied for properly.
FacHead Permission
FacHead permission is required for factional betrayal/defection, and long-term infiltration. Strictly speaking, Staff has overriding authority on whether or not these go forward, but if a FacHead is uncomfortable with the idea, it's strong grounds for denial. It is possible to petition Staff for permission without consulting the FacHeads, but we will require a fair explanation as to why we should allow this, and it is likely that we will say no and tell you to go speak with the relevant FacHead(s) anyway.
Probation
Occasionally, Staff or the FacHeads will put a player on a probationary period for some purpose or another. This is usually to see if they're improved enough to have certain things that were taken away, or denied to them. For example, re-introducing them into a faction that they were kicked out of.
Just to be clear: Disappearing or going inactive for the stated or perceived probationary period won't end your probationary period. We want to see improvement, not a non-presence. If we have reason to believe that you're deliberately laying low so that your probationary period will end without incident, bare minimum response is to lengthen the period, and automatic failure isn't out of the question.
Running Gags
Sometimes characters have recurring jokes attached to them, like Edward Elric being short, Roy Mustang's obsession with miniskirts, GLaDOS's association with cake, etc. While it can be amusing to play with these gags, it can become incredibly obnoxious for the player(s) involved and some people have had their running gags driven into the ground so hard they've quit.
In summary: If somebody asks you, individually or as a group, to stop it with the memes/running gags as pertains to them, DO IT, and don't make them ask you to stop again.
