IV. What Power Does the BoD Have?

When it all comes down to it in most situations the BoD has the final say in matters. And they are responsible for dealing out discipline as they see fit, often a person will get no more than 3 warnings if they are doing something to disrupt the club or are just not following Club Rules. The BoD also has the power over the following things:

General Club Issues:
~ Deciding to remove a member from the club
~ Sending out warnings
~ This distribution of Gold and Bronze Firelizards
~ The distribution of Rank among members
~ Final say in the clutch size and the color break down
~ Any death, be it human, Dragon or a Pet
~ Date approval of proposed events

Now often times the stories written and sent to the club to not affect the other members as a whole, but there are times when they do. Or maybe a post will be sent out that will be completely non-Pern Canon, so below is a list of the different storylines that should have the approval of the BoD:

What Needs Approval:
~ Causing injury to a Dragon or PC
~ As stated above, any death
~ Any Unusual personas (Such as HAD’s or people with disabilities)
~ Large scale plots involving many members
~ The addition of a new NPC or pet to an already created persona – if you will be using them often in your posts
~ Decision on if a Candidate will Impress or not
~ The distribution of Firelizard eggs when found/laid
~ Promotions within the Weyrhold, Halls or Hold 

There are also some things that do not require BoD approval and they are as follows:

What Does Not Need Approval:
~ Personas getting married, pregnant, divorced or being Searched
~ The winners of Firelizard, Green Dragons and Jr. Gold Dragons
~ Relationships between personas
~ The death of an NPC 

Aside from deciding upon what can and cannot go on within the posts the BoD must also at rare occasions step in and prevent people from ruining the Pern experience for others. And maybe have to give out warnings; the limit is 3 warnings per person.

Reasons For Warnings:
~ The failure to meet posting requirements for their personas
~ Any sending of chain letters or something that is not related to the club to the lists
~ Using other peoples characters without permission
~ Being a disturbance to the club by being rude, not following Canon and abusing other members
