| | === Transfer to the Rogues === |
| | In the event that a member doesn't have time for the Brotherhood or wants to take a break, they can request a transfer to the rogues. [[Rogue]] transfers for real life purposes are almost always approved and this is the ideal way for a member to proceed in those instances. Even if a member is no longer interested in the Brotherhood at all, it is suggested only a transfer to the rogues and nothing more. In the event that a member realizes they want to come back, it's a simple matter of transferring back to their unit. Members who have been gone for a substantial amount of time are, of course, welcome to transfer to any unit they like. |
|
| |
|
| | The practice of 'Clan hopping' (going rogue and then transferring from rogue to another Clan in order to avoid the hassles of an inter-[[Clan]] transfer) is not allowed under any circumstances and may be addressed by the Chamber of Justice. |

| In the event that a member doesn't have time for the Brotherhood or wants to take a break, they can request a transfer to the rogues. [[Rogue]] transfers for real life purposes are almost always approved rather quickly and this is the ideal way for a member to proceed in those instances. Even if a member is no longer interested in the Brotherhood at all, it is highly suggestted only a transfer to the rogues and nothing more. In the event that a member realizes they want to come back, it's a simple matter of transferring back to their previous Clan quickly. Members who have been gone for a substantial amount of time are, of course, welcome to transfer to any Clan they like when they return.
| | If a member wants a little bit more finality to the termination of their Brotherhood career or wants to make it clear to people recruiting from the Rogues that they are not interested in being an active member, they can request to have their dossier marked as inactive. Information previously on the dossier will not appear (it will display as "This dossier is inactive") though the dossier itself will still show up when searching. |

| The practice of 'Clan hopping' (going rogue and then transferring from rogue to another Clan in order to avoid the hassles of an inter-[[Clan]] transfer) is not allowed under any circumstances. The [[Dark Council]] advises those who wish to leave the Brotherhood to always consider the Rogues as their first option.
| | ==== Invisible Dossier ==== |
| | In the event that a member wants their dossier to not appear at all in the database but still wants to keep it there in case they decide to return, the Master at Arms can make their dossier completely invisible except to to those with high enough database access.. In cases where someone wants to be 'deleted,' it is recommended that you consider making your dossier invisible first. |
|
| |
|
| | === Dossier Deletion === |
| | If a member is 100% sure they do not want to be in the Brotherhood and do not want to return, they have the option of requesting permanent deletion. In this instance, your name, email address, [[Ranks|rank]], medals, personal data, and history will be '''permanently''' deleted. Once your dossier is deleted, it is gone. The Master at Arms will NOT restore it. Appropriate reason will need to be given for a dossier deletion, for which “restarting one’s character” is not one. Only members who did not wish to return to active status ever should consider this step. |
|
| |
|
| | === Clone Deletion === |
|
| |
|
| == Inactive Dossier ==
| | Pursuant to the [[Chamber of Justice Policies|Chamber of Justice policy on cloning]], members are allowed only a single dossier at one time. There are circumstances in which returning members are unable to log into their old account, or forget the existence of said account, so create a new one. The server pings these clones and the Chamber investigates. In these instances, the Chamber recommends the second clone dossier to be permanently deleted and works with the Seneschal to restore access to the original dossier. The Chamber always works to maintain consistency with the ''original dossier'' including rank and prestige. |
| If a member wants a little bit more finality to the termination of their Brotherhood career or wants to make it very clear to people recruiting from the Rogues that they are not interested in being an active member of the Brotherhood, they can request to have their dossier marked as inactive. In that event, the Master at Arms will move the member to the rogues and then mark the dossier as inactive using his/her administrative access. Information previously on the dossier will not appear (it will display as "This dossier is inactive") though the dossier itself will still show up when searching.

|
| | === Character Restarts === |
|
| |
|
| | There are times where Brotherhood members wish to re-roll a character and start from scratch. The Chamber’s preferred manner of starting a new character is to request a name/path change from your original dossier and proceed from there. This allows you to make a new character that starts at your original rank and medals. Situations where the members wishes to start over from scratch have been granted, but are done so cautiously and on a case by case basis. |

| == Dossier Deletion ==
| |
| If a member is 100% sure that they do not want to be in the Brotherhood and do not want to ever return, they have the option of requesting permanent deletion. In this instance, your name, email address, [[Ranks|rank]], medals, personal data, history, etc will be '''permamently''' deleted. Your dossier will be moved to the rogues, marked inactive and invisible and then marked as deleted. Once your dossier is deleted, it is gone. The Master at Arms will NOT restore it. It cannot be recovered. It is unequivocally destroyed. If you make the choice to have your dossier deleted, it's gone and it's not coming back. If you change your mind and want to return, you'll have to start from scratch. Needless to say, this is not an option that should be considered lightly and used only as a last resort.
