*Supreme Mugwump #1 Posted September 29, 2008 ABSENCES Everyone needs to be gone at one time or another. In order to let your role-playing partners know when you will need to be gone, you can post in this thread with information about your absence. Absences can be described as Short-term or Long-term.Short-term AbsenceWhat is it? A short-term absence is any absence that is longer than 3 days, or shorter than 2 months. You do NOT need to post an absence if you are only going to be gone for under 3 days. Generally people will be patient for a few days at a time. Posting in this Absence Thread will NOT save your account if you do not log into your accounts longer than 2 months. This thread is only intended as a way to tell anyone you are RPing with that you need to be gone for a time. How does it work? You should make a post below, using the following form: [b]Character Name(s):[/b] [b]Date you will leave:[/b] [b]Date you will return:[/b] Do not post here if you are just going into a period of "slow posting". This is intended for true absences. If you find you need to cut back on posting or cannot finish a thread, you should do the polite thing and PM the person you are RPing with. If you find you are in a "slow posting" phase, you can put a message saying this in your signature. What if I have more than one character? If you have more than one character and need for all of them to be absent, you can either put all of their names in one form, or make a separate post with each character (this is helpful if you want to keep your alters a secret). You need NOT put all of your accounts on Absence if you 'need a break' from one account. How will being absent affect my post requirements? Students who do not make minimum post count for promotion to the next year will not be excused due to an absence, and will therefore fail to advance to the next year. Adults who may have work post requirements MUST make arrangements with their work area staff member to be excused from work threads due to an extended absence. This can be arranged through a PM. Be aware, however, that no account will be excused from making required posts counts due to absence if it is discovered the handler is continuing to post with their alter accounts. We DO allow excused absences from work -- but only if it's a genuine absence from the board entirely, and not a "trade-off" of posting from one account to the other. What if I'm gone longer than 2 months? BE AWARE!! Posting in this thread will NOT save your account from deletion if you do not log into your account for over 2 months. If you feel you may be gone for longer than 2 months, you need to arrange for your account to be placed on Inactive status (see instructions below). If you do not log into your account for over 2 months, it will be deleted without notice. What should I do when I return? Please post in the "I've Returned" thread (with the account you posted here with) when you return, and your post in this topic will be deleted. Long-term Absence (aka "Inactive" status)What is it? A long-term absence is any time you will need to be gone from the board for over 2 months. As stated in our ToS, any account not logged into for 2 months will be deleted without notice. However, we do allow members to be gone for up to 6 months from this board IF they place their accounts on Inactive. "Inactive" status means your user group will be changed to "Inactive", and you will be unable to make any posts, nor read any posts on this board. You WILL be able to use the PM system. Your account will be saved even if you do not log on for up to 6 months. How does it work? If you need to put your characters on Inactive, you will need to PM an Administrator directly. The Governors you should contact are: Governor Mac Governor Daisy Governor Spot Governor Fang There is no form to use, but you should try to give some explanation of why you will be gone, and some idea of when you will be back (although it is fine to say "I'm not sure when I will be back"). Please tell the staffer in that PM the names of all of your accounts. BE AWARE! You cannot put one character on Inactive status and keep your alter accounts "active". When you choose to go Inactive, ALL of your accounts will be put Inactive. Inactive status should never be used to "juggle" different accounts around. If you cannot find the time to play all of your accounts, you probably have too many accounts and should delete some of them. How do I get off Inactive status? To return to active status, you will need to PM one of the staff members above again, tell them you wish to return to Active status. Once your account returns to Active status after being on Inactive, you will not be allowed to return to Inactive status again for 3 months. What will happen with my character's job when I am on Inactive? Unfortunately, it's just not fair to other characters to have your character hold a job position for up to 6 months. Your character will lose their job if they are on Inactive for over 3 months. What will happen if I'm gone for longer than 6 months? Once your account has been on Inactive status for 6 months, you will be sent an "email" (not a PM) to the email address on your account, warning you that your account has reached its 6-month limit. If you do not contact the staff within 48 hours of that message being sent, your account will be deleted. By joining Potter's World you indicate that you have read and do agree to abide by these rules. Failure to do so may result in warnings, disciplinary action or removal from the boards. ------------- Revision History 11NOV18 - formatting changes but no content changes 10JUL15 -- changes to Admin contacts 26MAR11 -- reposting; formatting changes but no content changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
