Hello there.

We thank you for coming to us about this, but unfortunately the mod team feels that this is an issue that should first be handled between the players, before mod intervention is considered.

While your statement is accurate to what you are linking, the player is still making the required activity as it's defined and we cannot penalize them without stepping out of the bounds of our own rules. To single someone out like this could set an unfair precedent when it comes to how we run our Activity Check, especially when they are not the only person who did their required activity within the last week/makes the minimum and nothing else. It's frustrating to see people squatting, for us as well as players, but we as mods cannot watchdog people's activity past our own monthly requirements for remaining in game (in addition to keeping tabs on people who drop and reapp constantly) without setting precedents that go against our own defined bounds.

If you are someone who has CR with them/knows someone who has CR with them and feels they have been squatting, we think it may be best that you approach them first personally on an HMD or through personal message and communicate to them what you have to us. If you do that and nothing else changes or the player reacts negatively, then we will reconsider approaching the player about their activity. Until then we believe this is a matter that should be resolved on a personal level between the players and not escalated to a mod level.

As far as Activity Requirements go, we have received previous concerns about it and will consider making changes in the future. However we don't feel comfortable making any changes without the presence of our head mod Blue, who is still on leave at this time. When she returns we will certainly relay player concerns about AC and our own concerns, but until then we don't want to make a structural change to the game without her say in it.

If there are any more questions or concerns about this matter, feel free to leave them here. You can also message us under a sock account if you want to remain anonymous.
