Courtesy Call Policy The Courtesy Call Policy is directed towards the authors of OOC topics. If it happens that the author of an RP idea loses interest, is pressed for time or encounters some circumstances that prevent the author from taking the OOC forward and starting an IC topic, this policy would come into play. The policy would ask these authors to have the courtesy, for all members of the forum, especially those who have already responded in that topic, to let them know that they, the author, do not plan to follow through with the RP itself. Hence the name "Courtesy Call". Authors who for any reason drop their running RPs or RP ideas are encouraged to give others permission to carry on the RP without them. Sometimes an author or member will leave, and the RP will die. Explicitly giving members permission to take over characters, plot, etc, gives the RP a chance to keep going despite the loss. By all means, an author is entitled to keeping his RP, ideas, plots and threads should he choose. The Courtesy Call Policy is just that, a policy. It is a polite suggestion. It is for everyone's benefit, and forgetting to adhere to it is not a punishable offense.
