The Requisition Limit policy establishes a timed cooldown between fulfilled requests as well as the time a request may remain in the queue before expiring. A member of the Brotherhood may therefore request only a certain number of custom graphics per type in a certain time period. Any requests submitted before the allotted time has expired will be auto-denied.
This policy exists to ensure that all members have an opportunity to put in requests and that these requests are met in a timely manner.

Request Expiration
Request expirations are rare but they can happen. When they are assigned to a graphics request, a staff member is to contact the requesting member via email. If they do not receive a response within 30 days following the initial contact attempt, the request will be marked as expired. This is done in order to ensure that the staff is able to move on to the next requests and clear the queue. The requesting member has the right to put in a new request.
Exceptions
Member-Supplied Art
Time restrictions do not apply to members that supply their own artwork. This includes their own personal work, art done by a fellow member, and commissioned art. The Herald staff reserves the right to refuse requests if the frequency is deemed excessive.
Note: If a fellow member produces free custom art for you, make sure that the Herald is notified so that the artist is rewarded accordingly for their work.
Position Change
Site graphics are subjected to a three months cooldown. However, this cooldown can be voided if the member is promoted to a new position within the Brotherhood. In such situations, the member must notify the staff of the change in their graphics request.
Character Change
Some members may desire new custom art upon changing to a new character. Unfortunately, due to the potential for abuse and excess, cooldowns continue to apply in such situations. The best alternative in this instance is to supply your own art as per the Member-Supplie Art exception above.
Disclaimers
- The Herald reserves the right to make exceptions under certain circumstances such as an empty queue.
- The Herald reserves the right to impose longer cooldowns in cases of abuse and excessive requests.
Policy Conditions
A request must be fulfilled before it can count towards this policy. A request unfulfilled for any reason (mistaken data, request cancellation or expiration, etc.) is not subjected to cooldowns. The member is thus free to place a new request at their convenience. The Herald staff reserves the right to refuse requests from a member who deliberately spams the request form. Such cases may be referred to the Justicar’s office for review.
