Hiatus Limit

[lotrangel17.livejournal.com]

Now that we have the weekly Order Lottery going on all four houses are trying to keep their members list up to date so that if a name is pulled it's an active person who should have the banner and link in their user info earning their house 25 points. And if you don't then why don't you ;)

With that in mind we are setting a hiatus limit of 4 months. If you have been on hiatus for longer than 4 consecutive months you will be taken off of your common room, the main community and all sub communities. We feel that 4 months, the length of a term, should be sufficient for you to decide if you need to just leave HiH altogether or get active.

And remember that most everyone is welcome to come back if they've left on good terms and can go back into their previous house - all you need to do is contact a Mod or even the prefects. There have been a lot of people coming back lately and we love seeing that!

Any questions and such let me know.

I assume you mean 4 CONSECUTIVE months, not 4 months TOTAL (e.g. if you go on hiatus January-March and then go on hiatus again in August, you won't be removed until December)?

Yes four consecutive months - not just 2 months here and then 2 months there - 4 months in a row.

This is reasonable :) Thanks for this Steph! (and Sas XD)

Is there going to be a way for the prefects/mods to keep track of when people begin a hiatus? Some people do post in the main comm/common rooms, but others just put a hiatus banner in their profile and fade away.

No problem - hopefully this will help some with keeping everyone current.

Probably the only way for now is going to be by checking the activity roster every month. Prefects usually do an activity sweep at the beginning of each term which should help. When the prefects post their list of member names then the sub-communities usually post at that comment that they have taken them off. I think most member post at the common rooms when they go on hiatus anyway so if you want to, maybe make a post at the common room about posting if you do and then make a tag for it so you can track it?
