MOD ANNOUNCEMENT -- AC POLICY

First, this is a reminder that Activity Check begins in two weeks on April 1st, so now is the time to start rounding up posts, or make them if you're falling short. AC is one network or log post with comments, or 15 comments in another person's post. For this round all activity since moving to DW counts, so we don't anticipate any reasonably active players having trouble with it. Characters accepted in March are exempt.

Currently, we have a lenient activity check, and we loosened it even more for the move, in anticipation of complications which, happily, didn't occur. Our AC schedule worked just fine when we were a smaller, slower game, but that's no longer the case. Space Prom went to 3,000 comments in a week, and we are facing the fact that our little game is all grown up and ready to borrow the keys and wreck the car.

We have no intention of instituting an unreasonable AC, but we do need to make it more stringent to keep inactive players from affecting their casts and other CR, and there is plenty of room to tighten things up without AC becoming unmanageable. We are currently leaning toward keeping AC bimonthly, but increasing the total number of posts/comments required, probably with a mix-'n'-match system that will accommodate various play styles. However, we'd like your input before making any changes, hence this post. What would you like to see out of a new AC policy? What would you not like to see? We know people would like to have a purge list posted at the end of the AC period. Anything else?

Any changes will not affect this AC round.

Just personally, I find it easier to handle increased post requirement vs. comment-count.

As the player of a jerk character, there are times when my entire goal is to get the other guy to hang up in about ten comments or less, and those threads would not, technically, even count toward present AC requirements (15 each = 30 comments in a 'perfect', ideal AC-clearing thread).

Otherwise, I'm cool with the things as presented.

The purge list is a great idea!

You can currently provide any number of threads as long as the comments add up to 15. Though if you provide 15 one-comment threads, we might perhaps want to have a talk with you.

That's good to know. I was starting to get verrrry worried about that. </threadjack>
