Once a staff member has made a declaration, unless you have considerable reason to believe it is unfair or against the rules, you may not protest to another staff member about their decision. If you believe (and can support that belief) a decision was unjustly made, PM Alexiel Shinteiv or Enrua Lakuy and inform them of the situation.
Do not SPAM. Though it has several different supposed acronyms, the one I'm referring to is Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Remain in character in the RP, and remain on topic in the OOC forums.
