The following Standards are to be implemented across all ALFA Servers.
Deadline for Live servers for full implementation is set at Jan 31.
I suggest we use a buddy system to spot check the modules, have neighbouring servers DMs check your mod, and you help them by going over theirs. When your server is adjusted, upload the new module to the FTP, the Standards team will help with spot checks and assist with compliance issues.
If a server is not complaint by Jan 31, it will be taken off-line until it is. Consistency is being enforced across the servers for good reason, so it is imperative we all get on board with this.
