In Rule 1.2.1, change all instances of the text “in an entry or comment from the past four days” to “in a blog entry from the past four days”,
and change the text
Admins who are unidling themselves should, in their first vote following each unidling, highlight their changed idle status and any changes to quorum to have come about as a result of it.
to
Admins who are unidling themselves must either announce in a blog post that they have done so or, in their first vote following each unidling, highlight their changed idle status and any changes to quorum to have come about as a result of it.
When trying to compile complete player lists for past dynasties, I ran into a couple of quirks trying to prove my lists were complete, namely:
* Admins can legally unidle themselves silently, not vote on anything, and not be unidled for inactivity until the next dynasty.
* Players can request idling or unidling in GNDT comments, or in comments to posts from a previous dynasty.
So in the interest of being able to tell who’s playing from reading the blog, I think we need to tighten the requirements for announcing idling or unidling.
I agree with raichu. If this passes and someone forgets to comment when they unidle, I would say that everything they have done and voted on would have never happened(even if it was weeks or months later) as they were still technically idle.
