[Leave of Absence Rules and Regulations][/i]
Description: LoA or Leave of Absence is a method in which you can request that your account be kept around on the site, when you yourself cannot be. It is a way to bypass activity checks when you realize that real life is making it so RPing is difficult or cannot be done for a while. We at Hours After Midnight respect our members and know that they have Real Lives and are sometimes more busy than what they can handle, therefore too busy to keep up their activity within the regulations of what some sites require. When an account is put on LoA, the character is immune from being deleted or purged until the LoA status is up, or the role player returns.
[How does one aquire LoA status?]
Easy. If you find that you need a long term break, or real life is bogging you down with stress to the point where you cannot possibly continue RPing on Hours After Midnight, and yet would still like to be a member, then all you have to do is to post on the absent board that you're requesting your account be put on LoA, or PM myself through Gin's account (sn: gingerpaws) or the HAM Admin account (sn: admin). From there, your account will be put on LoA until such time you come back and request that you'd like to return, or your accounts expiration date is up.
[Expiration date? What do you mean by that?]
Simply put, after six months of being LoA, a person is most likely not going to return to a site. They have found by then, either something better to do, or are just too busy to role play. In this case of waiting half a year, I will purge the account assuming that you have decided not to rejoin Hours After Midnight. There will be an email sent to you, two weeks prior the deletion of the account, however, if there is no response then the account will be deleted without thought. After six months, your account and the LoA status has expired.
[How will we know if someone has been put on LoA status?]
A person who has decided to go on a Leave of Absence will be recognizable by the 'LoA' that will be placed within their mini profiles, under their member button... just above their avatar picture. It will say just simply, LoA, bolded. Simple enough to see, and simple enough to remove when the person decides they'd like to come back to HAM.
[Being taken off of LoA status]
To be taken off of LoA status, just as has previously been mentioned, PM myself through the Admin account, or through Gin's account, or even post it under the absent board that you are back and would like to return to RPing. You'll be taken off LoA status as soon as I get online and see your request.

Important Notes:
- When on LoA stutus, you can still post occasionally if you find that you have a minute to spare or something of the sort. However, if you become very active, please don't be irate if I PM you to see how you are doing and ask if you would like to be taken off the status. I'm just wondering, and excited to see that you're back and posting. If you don't want to be taken off quite yet, you are still under the six months period and in the last two weeks, I'll email you asking what you'd like to do then...
- LoA Status is usually granted when a person finds that they are going to be away for more than two or three weeks. I do not need to know why you are requesting the LoA status, for that is your own business and I respect your privacy, I just ask that you do ask for the status before leaving ED fully, that way we can ensure that your account with us remains untouched.
- These can change at anytime, so please look back her once and a while to see that LoA is still the same. I don't imagine it will change much, but I reserve the right to change them if I feel something is conflicting or not working well enough for the progress of ED. Thank you for your cooperation.
