Policy 6 Revised

I would like to announce that changes have been made to Policy 6 through the Legislative Chamber to provide more detail and explanation. This also combined information from what was Policy 7 which has been abolished. In order to accommodate such change, all proceeding policies 8,9,10 and 11 have been shifted up to 7,8,9 and 10.

Quote:

Honorable Discharge

Any member resigning on good terms. This grants eligibility to return to WN in the future, however there is a 30 day waiting period from the day you submit your HD scriptorium request before you can return.

Once your account is purged from the system you forfeit any awards or medals previously earned. Automatic account deletions occur on the following intervals of inactivity*. The purpose of this is to free up names for future use.

• 60+ Days < 500 Posts
• 90+ Day = 500 - 999 Posts
• 120+ Day = 1000 - 2499 Posts
• 150+ Day = 2500 - 4999 Posts
• 180+ Day >= 5000 Posts

Dishonorable Discharge

Any member that is banned for breaking laws or disruptive conduct. Any member resigning with after effect flaming, bad mouthing, negative or destructive behavior towards WN or its members can and will be changed from Honorable to Dishonorable status.

This disallows return to WN for a minimum period of 6 months, at which time the banned member may apply and have the Justice Department review their case. Re-admittance is by no means guaranteed and subject to a 30 day evaluation period if approved. All past awards and medals are permanently forfeited upon your dishonorable discharge and not returnable in the event you are readmitted to WN. Members joining a clan on the enemies list will be subject to their account status being changed to Dishonorable Discharge regardless of what their WNx account was set to at the time of their departure.

• Accounts are deleted after 60 days of inactivity regardless of post counts.

Leave of Absence (LOA)

Any member who will be on an extended leave of absence of more than 60 days. This is generally due to military, medical, family or other real life issues that would prevent you from logging into the forums for a period of 60 to 365 days.

We purge all inactive accounts that have shown no activity for a period of 120+ days. The purpose of LOA is to protect your account from being purged (deleted) while you are on an extended leave of absence for a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of one year. After one year of inactivity your account is deleted.

• While on LOA status you are still bound to The Law and Policies of WN and any violation can result in a change in status to Dishonorable Discharge.
• You must have at least 30 days membership and 50 posts to qualify for LOA status.
• There is a 30 day waiting period from the day you request LOA status before you can return; however, the Brigadier General of the members Genre (or any 5 Star/Major-General) may waive this on a case by case basis.
• Requests are made using the Scriptorium.

Other information about accounts

• Activity is measured by visiting the forum while logged into your account.
• Logging into and signing rollcall alone does not update your activity, you must visit and login through the main forum home, forums, blogs, social group or profile. Keep in mind also that failing to sign rollcall is subject to conditions found in Law 3.
• Accounts that do not generate at least 1 post count within 45 days of their registration date are automatically deleted regardless of activity status.
• Newly registered accounts are deleted after 10 days if they are not validated through the email confirmation process.
• Accounts that are declined in the registration queue are immediately deleted.

Cool, this makes things easier to understand.
Good job legislative chamber.

Thanks, it's all so clear now

Bah, I never did understand politics...But good job Legislative Chamber!

Thanks for the heads up.

Could we see what 6 and 7 were?

Also, are your medals removed when put onto HD? or is it only when your account is purged?

Other than that, I think the wording is clear and is a good update.

i like it that members cant go on HD longer with out having there account deleted depending on the amount of posts they have.

Nobody even argued hehe Good job Legislative Chamber !

Thanks for the heads up.
I t's all clear to me now.

Good job Wakko! And my other LC peeps.

Curious, if a member is in the Military Service are their LOA requests granted past 365 days? I know there are units sent for up to 16-18 months at a time. It did not say anything about Case By Case regarding length of time away.

Very Respectfully,
WNxNewt

Thanks for the heads up!

Nice changes.

Thanks for heads up!

HD accounts keep their awards until they are purged.

For those asking what the old Policy 7 said, here it is,

Quote:

If you do not post on the forums for 60+ days regardless whether you casted rollcall, regardless of what rank you hold, your account will be flagged inactive and deleted. The only exceptions to deletion for inactive accounts are those on official leave of absence when an admin manually flags the account to be on leave thus making it non-deletable If a new member registers, gets approved and does not post within the first 10 days, it will be flagged as abandoned and deleted. If an account resides in the approval queue for 10 days it will be rejected and deleted.

We strive to ensure our registered members stats reflect the true number of active members within our community. We do not keep old accounts for any reason. Resigned and banned accounts also fall into this category and after 60 days are deleted.

As you can see in the LOA section of Policy 6, accounts are purged at 120 instead of 60. Everything else in here was redundant and address in the new Policy 6 other section.

Thanks for posting this

Neil
