On Classleads and reports
Written by: Tecton, the Terraformer

Addressed to: Everyone
I'm pleased to announce a new system related to Classlead reporting.
This change was brought about to reduce the workload on classleads, and
to help ease the problems where a suitably active or knowledgeable
classlead is not available.
What is a classlead report:
---------------------------
An avenue to suggest a change or addition to a skill or ability in the
game.
What is NOT a classlead report:
-------------------------------
It is not an avenue to submit a bug. If you want to file a bug, use the
BUG command.
Who can submit classlead reports:
---------------------------------
Any player who meets the following criteria:
- Has played more than 50 hours.
- Is relatively active in the realms.
- Has more than the equivalent of one transcendent skill spent in
lessons.
How do I submit a classlead report:
-----------------------------------
When submissions are open you may CLASSLEAD NEW <skill> <ability> to
create a new report. This will inform you if it has been successful, and
give you a report# to use for further modification. If you are not
submitting a problem with an existing skill, please use "NEW" as the
ability name.
From here, you will need to fill in the details of the report, using the
report# you were given:
- CLASSLEAD <#> PROBLEM <text>
- Use this to describe the problem with the ability. The more concise
you can be, the higher the chances of the report being actioned.
- CLASSLEAD <#> SOLUTION <1-3> <text>
- List up to 3 solutions to the problem, again, be as concise as
possible. You do not need to flesh out every detail, we will contact
you further in the event your report is actioned if we need more
details.
- CLASSLEAD <#> SUBMIT
- Submits your classlead report. Once this is done, it becomes locked
for editing, and becomes accessible to any player to look over.
-- Note: You may only have five (5) classlead reports at any time, per
cycle.
What happens next?:
-------------------
Classleads run in cycles: There will be a period of open submission,
followed by a review period where no new classleads can be submitted.
During this time of review, players can CLASSLEAD <#> ENDORSE <reason>
or CLASSLEAD <#> CENSURE <reason> any and all submitted reports -
allowing players to add their support to a suggestion, or to disagree
with the proposal. The same restrictions apply to endorsing and
censuring as they do to submitting a report.
After this review period, the Garden and ACC will review the submitted
reports and implement those which are accepted.
Notes from Administration:
--------------------------
The classlead system is one that acts on maturity and level-headedness.
Players who chose to abuse the system, or other players based on their
ideas and submissions will face administrative punishment - up to, and
including the permanent loss of your character(s).
