h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You seem to have dropped the sliding scale of mercy - 3 months for this, 6 months for that, etc. Any particular reason?

It looks good. I think they should implement something like this.

Should the attention of anyone in particular be drawn here?

Previously, after 3 months for this, you had a clean slate, and after 6 months of that, you had a clean slate. Now, twelve months after each individual transgression, *that trangression* is wiped - but if you've transgressed in other ways since then, the other trangressions still stand.

The change was mainly for simplicity - I reckoned the previous proposal would be more work to implement, for no real gain. It might even be slightly fairer, though that's hard to judge.

I'll publicise it on the community soapbox, once the usual suspects have had a chance to warn me of any gross stupidities...

I will just add that I think it's darn spooky that you updated this the same day that Arbiters, Episode VI or whatever, was unleashed.

Well, Mercury came out of Retrograde on Friday, so communications are good again...

Ben

Only just noticed this... (sorry)

Looks great. Simple, straightforward, does what it says on the tin. As if anyone cares - I think this should be added to site policy.

H.

Well I care

I'll bump it on the soapbox later today, and see if I get any more response. Failing that - no news is good news, I think

"Transgressions older than six months will be automatically wiped from a Researchers record. Thus, if a Researcher behaves well for twelve months, they will have a clean slate."

Surely they would have a clean slate after six months and one day...?

Apart from that minor confusion, I like it!

Did you know that cornflakes were originally introduced as a medicinal aid to quell the libido?
