       [center]How to file your leave of absence correctly[/center]
       If you are going to absent from Carver City for a prolonged
       period of time (3 days or more), then you need to fill out an
       LoA so we don't suspend your account for inactivity.
       Filling out an LoA is easy and only takes a few minutes. Simply
       follow this three-step guide.
       (1) Create a new topic within the LoA board, using the following
       title format:
       [center]LoA - Main Character's Name [Dates you will be on leave]
       For example:
       LoA - Jonny Tulley [September 12th - 20th, 2013][/center]
       (2) Select and copy the code below and paste it into your LoA
       topic.
       --- Code ---
       Code: [Select]
       
       Character(s) affected:
       Period of time absent:
       Date commencing:
       Date returning:
       
       Any relevant comments:
       --- End Code ---
       (3) Complete the form, detailing the nature of your LoA, as
       follows:
       Character(s) affected: List the character(s) that will be
       affected by your LoA
       Period of time absent: How long will you be absent?
       Date commencing: The date of your absence will start
       Date returning: The date you will be returning to the fleet
       Any relevant comments: Anything else you think is relevant to
       the LoA. Note you do not need to provide a reason for your
       absence.
       Note that all sections of the LoA form (aside from the relevant
       comments) are required. If you do not know the exact date you
       will be returning to Carver City, please act on the side of
       caution and provide an outside estimate, on which we can review
       your LoA and if necessary, extend it. You will be asked for a
       date if you do not complete this section.
       Carver City Reserves
       If you intend to be inactive for a considerable amount of time
       (more than 2 months), you should consider applying for placement
       in the Carver City Reserves, where your account will remain
       secure for up to one year, after which time you must notify us
       of your intentions or the account will become subject to normal
       inactivity rules, which may result in account suspension. Note
       that while in the Carver City Reserves, you will be prohibited
       from posting on the forums, other than to file a reactivation
       request. If you are in a position of responsibility, you will
       lose your position and forum privileges during this time.
       Additional Notes:
       Please stick to the above template. It keeps all LoA posts
       consistent and easier to read for the admin responding.
       Please provide as much notice as you are able, preferably more
       than 2 weeks prior to the start of your LoA. This will allow
       your fellow players to plan for your absence.
       In addition to filing a LoA topic here, you may also want to
       enable the "PM Autorespond" feature found in your PM settings
       menu. Simply type a message in the text box and click "Change
       Settings." From then on, when someone sends you a PM while you
       are LoA, they will receive your automatic response back. Just
       don't forget to disable it (by deleting your message) upon your
       return.
       Once you have returned from your LoA, please remember to post
       back in your LoA topic so everyone knows and your LoA can be
       archived. Should your LoA run out before you know you can post
       regularly again, please try and post that your require an
       extension in your LoA topic. If you are not back and actively
       posting within three days from the end of your LoA, we will
       attempt to contact you. If you cannot be reached a week after
       your LoA date, your account will be subject to normal inactivity
       rules, which may result in account suspension.
       Finally, please remember that LoA topics are not discussion
       forums! Only those filing for LoA and the fleet admin responding
       should be posting in a topic. If anyone other than those people
       posts in your LoA topic, please do not encourage them by
       replying. Simply inform an admin and their post will be deleted.
       If you have any further questions about LoAs, you should contact
       one of our admins.
