Some language was also changed to better improve readability.
We also had two rules targeting illegal behavior/drugs. One rule targeting illegal behavior is enough, though. Not sure why we had a rule about circulating drugs. That's not really a problem we suffer here, lol, so it was never really necessary. But the illegality rule covers it.
#7 is a major change of the readibility of the previous "alt-padding" rule. Seemed like an elongated way to explain how to not try to pretend to be multiple people, so I've altered it to better represent the spirit behind the ruling.
The biggest and most major change will be the no advertising rule. I know some people have promoted their products, their amazon items, published books, etc. I find such projects to be really cool, tbh. But.. This is now no longer allowed. A Star Wars role-play website isn't the place for it, and we'll be deleting threads concerning these ventures in the future. If you're trying to make money, there are plenty of other venues that are much better suited to help you do so. Also, nothings stopping you from advertising to your friends on Skype, Discord, etc. Do it there, not here. And do it privately, not on our official Discord server or any of the major Faction chats. You're likely just going to annoy people.
Most of you know my views on advertising other websites, this rule backs this view officially now. Not really news to most of us.
