[member="Lady Kay"] and I have been talking recently about the new standards, restrictions and expectations that Site Staff are putting down on all Major Factions these days (Monthly thread and activity checks), as well as the status of the Commenor Systems Alliance's Member-Base.
Unfortunately there's no real easy or right way to bring up a discussion such as this, after starting out as a single minor faction planet for seven months before even considering hitting the map-game as a Major Faction, but the reality we're facing today is that we're struggling to keep this Factions head above water.
Most of our active members appear to be participating or focused entirely in other Faction's. We're of the belief and understanding that non-violent or non-warring factions are difficult to maintain. People want action and they want controversy, Player vs Player threads and the drama that follows both In-Character and Out-Of-Character seems to gain the most attention compared to what we've been seeing lately. I can't personally speak for Kay or the other Administrators but I believe this has been the CSA's biggest element that sets it apart from other factions, yet also hindered us in the way of keeping consistent activity going.
Those of us who are putting in the effort are feeling strained under the pressure. I personally have had a lot going on in the OOC regard as do many of our Faction Staff and too, many of you. Thus while we're undergoing an activity check from the Site Staff presently, we've also decided to put this up for a discussion and vote:
Either way, we work on our terms and Kay and I are proud of how far we've come and the commitment and contributions you guys have all given to the CSA. We couldn't have come this far without you all and we won't be able to get any further without that same love you've given us.

- Do we stay Major or does the Commenor Systems Alliance go Minor and go back to being simply "Commenor".
