[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]Here on FTA we take our high ranking characters seriously. Our clan's high ranks come with a level of responsibility as they are the lifeblood of our site and the driving force behind plots. Because of this, I have outlined a guide of expectations that I would urge everyone to consider before making the commitment these positions require.
While we do understand this is merely a hobby and none of us are getting paid for what we do here, the activity level of high ranking characters is what "makes" or "breaks" a site. I have been on countless sites in the past where people were only around to make posting requirements during activity checks every month. I do not consider this a genuine presence on the site or in any plot, which is why community engagement requirements have been added.
We will not be strictly enforcing community engagement requirements unless it becomes a problem. I would suggest if you are expecting an absence, please notify staff with the proper hiatus forms in either the discord or on the site. Giving us a heads up in advance will clear you from the expectations for the allotted time of your hiatus. Staff reserves the rights to change these rules and expectations as we see fit to meet the needs and demands of our site.

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]1. Number of HR's Allowed: On FTA the number of high ranking characters you're allowed is two. No more than one per clan and you may only have one in a leadership role and one in a medicine cat role.
2. Posting Requirements: For each high ranking character, you must complete at least three in character posts per month.
3. Activity Checks: Our activity checks take place between the 1st and the 8th every month. Every member with a high ranking character is expected to post in those activity checks unless they have provided a proper hiatus during that time. You will be expected to provide proof of three in character posts for each high rank character from the first to the end of the previous month.

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]Account Activity: Part of our community engagement expectations is that members who have high ranking characters are around. We expect you to log onto the site with your OOC account at least once every three days.
Plotting: Because even our large, site-wide plots are purely member-driven, high ranking characters play a crucial role in keeping everything going. While we have no quantifiable rule for this one, we expect you to be at least fairly consistent in partaking in these plots, while also creating and engaging in smaller personal plots with other people.
You will also be expected to actively post your characters in every gathering and medicine cat meeting. These threads can stagnate for long periods of time if role players for these characters aren't doing their part in keeping it going.
Discord: Everyone with a high ranking character must be a member of our discord, no exceptions. A huge reason for this is because our discord keeps everyone in the loop both socially and for OOC and IC events pertaining to the site. It adds convenience to plotting and communication as well.
We would also like to see you occasionally interact with the community in our general chat, so just stop in and say hello sometimes! <3

[attr="class","arrgenMAINTEXT"]While we do not like to penalize anyone, we do have to adhere strongly to these policies to keep our site going for everyone involved. On FTA we follow a three-strike system. Missing post requirements during the activity check will result in a strike. On the third strike, we reserve the right to reclaim your positions and audition them out again.
If we feel your community engagement levels are not meeting expectations we will first talk with you to get an idea of what is going on and see if we can make a plan to remedy the situation. From there on out we will issue warnings until it ultimately becomes a failure to comply with the standards we've set in place.
We are all a community of working, busy adults but the stories we put together cannot work without commitment and consistency from all of us.
