After reviewing the clarification thread, TOS, and PMs on the subject I’d like to offer some further feedback. I’d also like to say the since the TOS was updated months ago, I have been very vocal supporting the value of the vague language in the TOS and it’s allowance for FC to make case by case judgment calls.
That being said, @Umborls, these are the subjects I would like more clarification on if there are to be any further updates on this subject. These are based on questions I read on these forums from my fellow exiles regularly:
Satellite Building - So long as they do not violate any condition of the TOS(and clarification thread) are we allowed to build in more than one location?
Clan Building - Do clan building allowances scale linearly to their number of members? Or are clans expected to utilize economies of scale? How does being in a clan interact with rules on satellite building?
Bans - I don’t think it’s in the interest of players or FC to have to ban players. I also understand that a message/warning system bogs down the process of moderation. Do you think it is more beneficial to have upfront warnings/clear rules and swift punishment or vague rules/subject judgment and less severe punishment?
Decorative Builds - How does the ruling on purely decorative builds interact with PVP objectives? Meaning, does a build (assuming it’s not spam) with the sole purpose of defense always qualify as unacceptable land claim?
I have tried to ask these in a way such that they can be answered without giving away too much power of subjective judgment. That being said, I understand if you choose not to answer or address one or any of these. These are the kinds of “edge cases” people talk about here on the forums and the ones we have to guess and argue about endlessly.

Also I want to say @liran brings up some interesting ideas. While the game doesn’t solely focus on official servers when developing, considering ways to facilitate the type of experience this new moderation is aiming for would go a long way. A general god alter with access to all religious recipes would go a long way to answer the land claim problem that the need for multiple alters creates, just as an example.
