You have one, and only one, opportunity to fail to announce an extended absence. It's simply a fact of life that things happen like computers die or storms happen and so on. But consistancey in this area is inexcusable.

If you fail to report that you are leaving for a certain amount of time more than once, you will automatically recieve a Warning Level. Unannounced absences cause confusion, halted plotlines, the need to change plotlines quickly to attempt to keep it going smoothly, and frankly, it's just plain frustrating and rude. I'ts a simple request, and easy to fullfill.

Naturally, as with all Warning Levels, you may appeal it. But be aware that I watch the news and Weather Channel every day.
