※ GOING ON HIATUS
Please remember the rules about Activity/Inactivity checks and Hiatuses.
Try to approximate how long you will be on hiatus; if you are inactive for a period longer than three weeks, we advise that you drop your character(s)*.
The maximum amount of time you may take for a hiatus is 3 weeks*, and you receive leeway of 1 more additional week to become active. If you do not become active by the time activity check comes around, your character(s) are marked inactive for 1 month. Your characters will automatically be removed if you remain inactive by the next activity check. This totals 1 1/2 months of inactivity before removal.
Players who have returned from one hiatus must pass one activity check before taking another. This is to prevent any abuse of the hiatus system and to ensure that everyone has a chance to play the characters that they want.
If a player has been marked inactive with one or two stars (2 or 4 weeks) prior to taking their hiatus, then taking a hiatus does not reset the activity - it will, however, ensure that they are not removed and do not receive any further stars for inactivity during the period of their hiatus.
If your character(s) are not active by the end of the standard three consecutive activity checks - regardless of any hiatuses taken between them - your character(s) will automatically be removed, and you will have to re-apply if you would like to play that/those character(s) again.
Taking a hiatus that begins partway through an activity check period will not prevent a player being marked inactive if they have not been active in that period before the hiatus begins. Equally, players need to become active before the end of an activity check if their hiatus ends partway through a check period.
Our hiatus process is designed to allow flexibility to players while ensuring that everyone has the chance to play the characters that they want. However, moderation realise that all systems can be abused to the detriment of other players. If we suspect that this is happening, or if a player contacts us with concerns, we reserve the right to investigate and take further action.
*Longer or indefinite hiatuses are granted on a case by case basis by the moderators. Players who are concerned that circumstances might cause them to be away for longer than the usual allowance should contact the moderation team.
