**The Big Zabowski's probationary period is over.**

Decision: Unanimous

[Fritz Ashlyn]

Sabersonic is being placed on probation for an unspecified length of time for joining two RPGs and then withdrawing after minimal participation.

The terms of the probation are as follows:
1. If Sabersonic wishes to join a new RPG, he must follow the probationary character creation guidelines in the RPG Rules thread.

2. Sabersonic is not allowed to re-join the Tales From the Frontlines Zeta RPG.

This probation has an unspecified length, but may be lifted immediately upon the consensus of a majority of the RPG mods.

**Terms edited to reflect the closing of the Gundam X RPG**

LK333 is now banned from the RPG section for continuing to post in both a non-productive manner after receiving public warning on at least two separate occasions, and for not meeting the requirements laid out in the main forum and RPG rules concerning minimum post length.

The terms of the ban are as follows:

1. LK333 may not participate in any ongoing or future RPG.

2. LK333's Zeta RPG character is now a named NPC.

3. LK333 is not to post in any RPG discussion thread. If there is an issue, LK333 is to deal with it through PMs with one of the Trinary.

This ban has an unspecified length, but may be lifted immediately upon the consensus of a majority of the RPG mods. (Don’t hold your breath.)

Folken Fanel has been given a warning for using another member's character without permission.

The decision discussed in the Wing RPG thread was as follows:

Folken, the Trinary has agreed that this breach of rules is grounds for a section warning. This wouldn't be a huge deal save the fact that your and Gambit's characters are so important to the Wing RPG. Permission must be requested before using someone else's character in any game-changing or plot driving post.

**AceOfSpades1's ban has been lifted.**

Decision: Unanimous

Wild Wing is now banned from the RPG section for attempting to rejoin an RPG through fraud. Re-joining the board after an account is deleted from inactivity is fine, attempting to re-join an RPG with a thinly-disguised rehash of a former character is not.

The terms of the ban are as follows:

1. Wild Wing may not participate in any ongoing or future RPG.

2. Wild Wing is not to post in any RPG discussion thread. If there is an issue, Wild Wing is to deal with it through PMs with one of the Trinary.

This ban has an unspecified length, but may be lifted immediately upon the consensus of a majority of the RPG mods.

**Heretic's probationary period is over.**

Decision: Unanimous

[Heretic]

Let it be noted that I fully accept this prohibition and its terms. The reasons being that I am currently getting real life affaires in order after having moved and attempting to get my own place to live. Because of these complications I have been unable to participate as I wanted to. I have no hard feelings about this. To be honest, I am glad that I won’t be holding thing back as I work things out in real life.

Imperial is being placed on probation for an unspecified length of time for joining an RPG and then withdrawing after minimal participation.

The terms of the probation are as follows:
1. If Imperial wishes to join a new RPG, he must follow the probationary character creation guidelines in the RPG Rules thread.

2. Imperial is not allowed to re-join the Tales From the Frontlines Zeta RPG.

This probation has an unspecified length, but may be lifted immediately upon the consensus of a majority of the RPG mods.

Folken Fanel is now banned from the RPG section for joining the Zeta RPG twice and abandoning both characters with no warning, and for “bunnying” another member’s important character in the Wing RPG. His choice (on more than one occasion) of walking away when an issue is brought up in public is more disruptive than actually discussing it.

The terms of the ban are as follows:

1. Folken Fanel may not participate in any ongoing or future RPG.

2. Folken Fanel's Zeta RPG character is now a named NPC.

3. Folken Fanel’s G Gundam RPG characters are now named NPCs under Wedge14 and/or Cardi Doorl’s control.

4. Folken Fanel is not to post in any RPG discussion thread. If there is an issue, Folken Fanel is to deal with it through PMs with one of the Trinary.

This ban has an unspecified length, but may be lifted immediately upon the consensus of a majority of the RPG mods.

Wingnut has been given a warning for attempting to undermine the authority of a mod-appointed GM on more than one occasion, in a manner that could be judged elsewhere on the board as trolling/flamebait.

Examples:

Well, that sure tips the scales toward me wanting to jump ship on this game.

I'm also getting visions of sadistic Dungeons and Dragons GMs that make up crap as they go just to make things miserable for the players.

And specifically,

Any GM that allows this in the kind of setting we have, doesn't deserve the job.

**Wingnut's ban has been lifted.**

Decision: Unanimous

Nero has been given a warning for openly quitting an rpg, then returning eight days later. This forced the members of the rpg to adopt his abandoned characters which was an inconvenience to all.

A member who joins an rpg should be aware that they are expected to play in it. If you can't handle the commitment don't commit to it. Playing in a game and quitting midway and returning a few days later is just disrespectful and a huge hamper on the members and organizers.

[Wedge14]

Cybaster has been given a warning for repeatedly posting as characters before they are approved. His rights to post new characters will be temporarily removed, and will be reinstated in 1 month. It is up the RPG section mods discretion to extended or shorten this punishment depending on behavior.
