August Inactivity List + Rules Change
You spoke loud and clear on our recent poll regarding activity on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
polychromatic, so here's a breakdown of changes we are making in response.
From now on, starting this next activity month, we will take action without three official inactivity complaints.
Situations in which we may take action without 3 complaints include:
♦ when a player makes the inactivity list more than one month in a row with a specific character
♦ when a player makes the inactivity list more than one month in a row with any character
Don't be alarmed just yet. We know some people who have six or more characters may fall into an activity slump. Just because you made the Inactivity List with Character A in August then Character B in September does not mean action will be taken against you immediately. This will primarily be exercised when a player has various characters constantly making inactivity lists, even with more than one in repeated months, making it clear that they may have a chronic activity problem. Making the Inactivity List with Character A in August then again with Character A in September is a different story. We will be reviewing any complaint submissions if they have been made, hiatus notices if they have been filed, and your activity pattern in general before coming to a decision on what action should be taken.
Action for inactivity will now include:
♦ suspension from applying new characters during the month of their probation
♦ request to drop inactive characters
These actions may be taken together (drop characters and application probation) or separately (application probation but not character drops). These actions are for those with chronic inactivity issues. You will not be asked to do one or the other for making the Inactivity List once or twice or sporadically. We aim to exercise the fairest discretion and judgment in these cases.
We'd like to remind the community as well that while we don't object to character journal entries being locked only to specific characters, these entries do not count towards activity, specifically when they are for the purpose of action spam between only select characters. You are free to make these types of entries, and we encourage you to do so in [info]tampered or to have a portion of the entry connected to the network itself, but just keep in mind that they will not count during Activity Checks. If you have a question concerning what exactly may or may not count, ask away.
As always, please ask any other questions, too, if you have any. Thanks!

As usual:
○ You have seven days to reclaim a character on this list, and in return, you promise three posts minimum instead of two for the next month, September.
○ For hiatus exemptions, I go off the Hiatus Notice Page, so if you didn't post there, you still ended up here. If you posted apoly_tldr hiatus notice, then let me see and I'll take you on off this list. If not, you can always reclaim, and just remember to use our notice page next time!
○ I make mistakes, too, so if you made your required post limit and I overlooked it, just smack me gently and I'll fix that, too. [In fact, I'm afraid this month I may have made more than a few. My sincere apologies, for that.]
○ If a character on this list has been dropped, don't worry about it. The end results just end up on the remove page anyway.
And for those commenting soon after this gets up, I have a very late and frantic date with Banana Yoshimoto's "Kitchen" and an essay thereafter, so my replies will not be prompt, but rest assured, I will get to you as soon as I can tomorrow regarding activity and this list. Thank you. ♥
