"By registering on this discussion system you agree that you will not post any material which is knowingly false, inaccurate..."
Does this mean the end of the RP section?
This part has been here since we switched to MyBB in 2010. none of this is about RP, it's about protecting users from things like defamation. Don't really read too much into it, it's standard stuff.

A sizeable amount of people have been openly hostile to the idea of completely sharing their work with their faction. I honestly wonder why these people are faction members (or even leaders lmao) if they have no intention to fully contribute to their faction progression. The current deal basically leave their initial authorship over their content if it becomes part of what is considered faction material (which we could define as something that becomes part of the faction's history) but does not prevent alteration from the moment crediting and a changelog is provided. This solves the problem for situations in which content has to be reworked but the OA is not available anymore, without making it possible for your faction members to be able to edit everything you wrote if you're still around. People trust their faction members that much.
