User blog:Nikolai the Second/RE: Just wondering

This blog is in response to a blog by Heath concerning the seemingly limitless abilities of people to create multiple races and to some people's concern about the overload of NPC's. So I have a policy proposal.

1. We limit the number of races/factions any one person can create to four. If anyone creates more than four then we will delete the most recent addition.

2. New members will be allowed a maximum of three roleplay characters.

3.  Long time but infrequent roleplayers will be allowed a maximum of six roleplay characters.

4. Long time active roleplayers will be allowed a maximum of ten roleplay characters. If a long time member leaves then their characters will become NPC's that we all control until they return.

5. Pilot 1/ Solider 2/Soldier 3/Officer 4 do not count as characters. They are redshirts and may be used abundantly. Minor characters that only have a few lines per rp may also be used were necessary.

I generally do not believe that rules and internal mechanisms solve problems. I don't think that piling more rules and regulations up in a heap and creating a system helps the overall problem. But with this I make an exception. In the current state our universe will accept anything. Anyone can join us and create as many factions as they wish and as many characters as they want. We are leaving ourselves open to disaster by not implementing a system to deal with the surge of NPC's and species/factions.

Please consider these points and then comment. Be sure to say whether you support this policy change or oppose it. Feedback is always appreciated. Good day.
