1. That's actually a pretty strict, yet incredibly vague, line to set in place. What makes a "faction"? Do sub-factions count as factions? I created the Scouting Fleet, thus technically creating Unggoy, Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, Huragok, and the Ibie'shan and T'vaoan Kig-yar. I also introduced the Dervish (which are used frequently enough to deserve their own article) and the Naga. STARS made the Earthkig, Sharp-yar, Ruutian Kig-yar, Cloud-Yanme'e, and Siren. I agree with the idea, but this bullet needs to be refined unless we plan to change a lot of stuff.

2. What determines how long the label of "New member" stays with someone?

I agree with everything else, this should become policy. Kudos to Niko.
