As of June 3rd 2012 a new amendment to the rules is being proposed by me. When a character, piece of tech, empire, race or whatever already has the required number of approvals there cannot be a take back of those approvals unless the staff member who wants to first submits what is wrong to the member who made the stuff?allowing them time to edit. This means that for example say I was invading one of Hik?s territories with a char and she put denied on a char to stop that invasion?she couldn?t do that anymore. This sort of acts as an anti-cheating for the staff members thing preventing them from causing too many problems with their staff powers.
This would also apply to regular members, preventing them from bickering about what should be approved or not. Also, as part of this amendment once a char is approved the topic should be locked and all posts but the app and approval in it should be deleted. It should then be moved to accepted characters.
