Valid Relocation Threads

I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to add this, but this kind of follows perfectly on the changes to the guidebook we did make.

We are trying to get away from imposing technicalities, edge cases, and specifics in the guidebook.  It doesn't always take a certain number of posts for a thread to conclude and we want those conclusions to be able to be natural.  We are trying to move away from imposing ooc guidelines that needlessly restrict IC flow.  From what I remember, we've never had a single instance where a formation was prevented based on thread length - it's always been threads not archived or member qualifications.  (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

We don't want to decline packs based on a technicality, and we don't want to have to count (or force you to count) posts.  As long as the thread tells a story and involves more than one member of the pack it's valid.  The reason a Read Only doesn't apply is because it isn't a thread - it's a single post.  Those can take a lot of effort to write, don't get me wrong!  But they don't fit with the spirit of the requirements of "Pack" formation or relocation - that it's the pack doing it, not a single character.

There's always going to be cases that buck the mold and we want to allow those to happen.  For example, guardian threads where the intruder is immediately chased off, or storyteller threads that tell a detailed story but may fall short on length.  It's really arbitrary sometimes what makes a thread "complete" and can vary across writers/characters, so it's easier and less restrictive to allow PMs and us (and you!) to make a judgement call as to what we feel counts.
