Admin Notice: Community Rules Rewrite - Phase 3

[Lonely Werewolf]

however, factions with less than 5 active members may still be stripped of their official status when necessary - That being when a new faction applies for official status on the same ID,[/color]

I assume in this part when you mentioned a new faction applying with the same ID, that you'd only strip the current official faction if it is doing poor for activity, or if both factions are similar and it makes sense for only 1 to be official. This isn't the re-adding of the 1 faction per ID rule?

EDIT: I'd also like to make sure that my understanding of Factions claiming bounties hasn't changed, especially in regards to internal bounties. I made this thread previously to discuss the issue. With greater freedom now in terms of engaging (for example corporate factions being able to initiate attacks within ZOI) I want to be sure that I'm following correctly.

So if we have a look at:

2. All faction IDs are allowed to claim bounties within their zone of influence. Generic IDs are only allowed to claim bounties if clearly specified in the ID description.

11. Any freelancer or BHG individual or group may only collect on a bounty which that person or group has issued, sponsored or funded (fully or partly) so long as it is open to others to collect. All non-generic factions may sponsor internal bounties that are only open to members of the player or NPC faction.

Corporate factions are (as before) allowed to "claim" bounties. While before this was only for kills which we could take anyways, we couldn't initiate an attack to claim the bounty. Now as we can engage pirates within our ZOI that doesn't conflict anymore.

However I'm still under the assumption that even if a faction has sponsored an internal bounty system etc, it is still restricted by engagement rules which would apply for making kills outwidth the bounty system? For example I'm still assuming that, for example, corporate factions can't attack say a Freelancer who is flying a transport with an internal bounty on him due to 3.3?

If you could clarify whether or not that is indeed correct, that would be helpful. I hope that rambling made sense...
