Hello! Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to address one at a time!
#1: OOC field
We prefer the OOC field to remain visible on the postbit, as it's a good reminder of anonymity. However, we should be able to change it from "OOC —" to "OOC — N/A" so it's more obvious when someone is either anonymous or not using an OOC name. There are a lot of higher priority coding fixes and updates so it's low on the list, but it should be doable!
#2: Territory tweaks
We will do some tweaks for the territories that have been altered, but we feel it's important to remind players that altering territories requires CM permission. None of the events referenced were done with CM permission, which is the main reason those descriptions haven't been updated. This policy is in the Guidebook and exists to prevent players from destroying territories in bad faith.
However, these particular events have been referenced IC by more than just those who caused them, so we are happy to make these tweaks this one time. I will work on these this week and weekend! Going forward, territory descriptions will only be tweaked if the IC event that caused them was approved by CMs.
Edit: I forgot to address your season ask! We have general season descriptions in the Setting Overview help doc (click) and would prefer to keep that as a general reference rather than describing individual territories in each season to leave room for creative interpretation!
#3: Stats page
We wouldn't feel right using sex over gender identity to count characters in the stats, and since gender identity is vast and there are so many different possibilities, it would be impossible to account for all of them in the stats page. I can't speak to it much from a coding standpoint, but I think it was also simplified for coding reasons!
