Denied Allow MTF COs/REGCOM to use codenames only

[ArcherOfLegend]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

Adjust this rule:

• Code names should be 1 word, and must also be a real word or place name. Portmanteaus are also allowed, however within SL discretion as to what is allowed within a portmanteau name.
• Names must also be sensible, meaning don't use "unrealistic" names, codenames or portmanteau names.
• You are prohibited from including double quotations (" ") and may only include singular quotations (' ') in your codename.

The exception to the above are for all CL5 keycard holders, (F/GOC/CI) who may have a longer codename without a real name/standalone name

e.g:
'The Founder'
'The Arbiter'

MTFs Omega-1, Alpha-1, Chaos Insurgency (DELCOM -> MCOM), and UNGOC (LT -> MAJ) can have a codename without a first and or last name.
e.g:
'Scripture'
'Blackwater'

to now say:

• Code names should be 1 word, and must also be a real word or place name. Portmanteaus are also allowed, however within SL discretion as to what is allowed within a portmanteau name.
• Names must also be sensible, meaning don't use "unrealistic" names, codenames or portmanteau names.
• You are prohibited from including double quotations (" ") and may only include singular quotations (' ') in your codename.

The exception to the above are for all CL5 keycard holders, (F/GOC/CI) who may have a longer codename without a real name/standalone name

e.g:
'The Founder'
'The Arbiter'

MTFs Alpha-1, Omega-1, and Nu-7/E-11 COs, Chaos Insurgency (DELCOM -> MCOM), and UNGOC (LT -> MAJ) can have a codename without a first and or last name.
e.g:
'Scripture'
'Blackwater'

All of AO can continue as they are with PVTs to COM using codenames only, this only adds E-11/Nu-7 COs (or REGCOM) to the exception.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Probably, probably not, Forum search system is tough to use.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Allows MTF COs to stand out more.
- Would make sense for the E-11/Nu-7 COs to conceal their identity as they are leaders of their regiments and thus become targets.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Can't really think of any besides that it might take away the mystique of only having a codename?

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

As far as I can tell, this used to be the case in the past but then was changed for some reason. Generally, I do not see the issue of letting COs (or REGCOM if SSL aren't convinced COs should) have only codenames. They're important members of their regiments and having a singular name as a codename allows them to be easily identifiable, furthermore, allowing them to conceal their identity (at least, retroactively) would allow for some more interesting roleplay opportunities. These are the leaders of elite task forces, not average soldiers.

Would this apply to other departments? No. This rule suggestion is to only extend the code name change to E-11 and Nu-7 COs. This means that this would not extend to the other departments such as DEA or ISD.

Any objections? Make them heard in the replies. I would love to hear from SL/SSL specifically as to why they would support or oppose this addition.

Rule Suggestion Denied​

Hi @ArcherOfLegend ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a rule suggestion.

The SSL team has reviewed this and decided to deny it for the following reasons:

E-11/Nu-7 are not redacted MTFs from the Foundation or its personnel in the same way A/O are, and are well-known, integrated members of site; unlike A/O.

Your rules suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
