If you have recently received a suspension for rule violation(s), your application may be refused for a period of in-game hours so you can demonstate to the management team your behaviour has changed since your last incidient.
# Member of Management Team reviews application and cross-references it against the players profile.
# If all requirements are met and application (role-play exam) is satisfactory, then a 21 day trial VISA is issued.
# After 21 day trial VISA is over, the player has 2 weeks from the trial end date to apply for Permanent VISA (NB: Open whitelist ticket and request VISA review).

=== Removal of Whitelist ===
=== Removal of Whitelist ===
Once you have obtained a whitelist VISA, there are a few reasons in which it may be removed from you. You can find some of the main reasons below:


==== <u>Bad Roleplay</u> ====
# '''Bad Roleplay'''
Some players believe "Stop! Hands up or I'll shoot you" qualifies as enough of an interaction to justify lethal force, that is not the case and interactions like these will be grounds for dismissal from our Whitelist Server. Interactions should be longer and more drawn out to allow for Roleplay. Equally, players on the receiving end of a Hostile Encounter should consider their life the most valuable asset they have and not waste it taking unnecessary risks (Reference our [[Rules|RDM and Value of Life Rule]]<nowiki/>s for Guidance).
## No real attempt at roleplay (e.g. not providing enough time and story before attempting to use lethal force).
 
## OOC References (e.g. any use of out-of-character references such as game, admin, ban or player or helping others with controls etc, when caught will result in a whitelist removal)
Out-of-character (OOC) interactions/remarks are prohibited. This is true for our Public Servers but will be especially true on our Whitelisted Server. Any language your character would not be aware of in-game (such as: server, admin, ban) are an alien language as far as your character is concerned. This includes asking for help with controls. Anyone using OOC language should be responded to with confusion/non-understanding of the words they're using and be promptly reported to the Support Team.
# '''Rule Violations'''
 
## Any rule violation, regardless of which server the rule was broken on.
'''*These behaviours and others deemed to be of 'Bad Roleplay' will result in the removal of your whitelist status.'''
## Any ban orders on your profile (wether from a rule violation or conduct in discord etc will result in a whitelist removal)
 
# '''Profile Assessment'''
==== <u>Rule Violations</u> ====
## A profile with a reputation to low to justify decent conduct may have their whitelist removed.
In addition to the infractions mentioned above, rule violations of any kind will be handled by our support team and then referred to management for assessment. If found to be in breach of the rules your whitelist status may be revoked for a period of in-game hours similarly to as described above (As well as a suspension from all ELAN Game Servers).
# '''Special Circumstance'''
 
## In extremely rare cases, there may be special circumstance to which a player may have their access removed.  
Your whitelist can be revoked regardless of whether a rule violation is commited on the Whitelist Server or on one of our Public Servers.  
 
If you receive a game suspension for your behaviour on our Discord, you may also have your whitelist revoked.
