In response to past confusions with Train/Station updates and resulting fights and controversies, the following clear and objective guidelines are being issued, with no room for any arguments or debates about validity. Also, included, some other changes with respect to Ratings.

1. All Red Ratings will require further explanation. Red Ratings won't be anonymous anymore. For Green Ratings, you will continue to have the option of giving specific ratings with your name on it or remain anonymous.

2. TB Regional languages.
2a. We shall be permitting up to 6 Regional Languages per train based on the Regional Language of BOTH the source and destination stations of that train.

2b. In the train page of IRI, we shall display ONE of these Regional Languages which will be completely randomized among all the Regional Languages for that Train, as entered in IRI.

3b. For determining the regional language of any station, all languages mentioned on that actual Station Board (just show SB pic as proof) is the objective yardstick.

3. Station - Junction vs non-junction. If ANY of that station's SBs has the word "Station Junction" on it, then the word Junction will be used as a suffix in IRI as well. If that station is still a "technical junction", but does NOT have the word Junction in SB, then you may change the Station's Type in IRI as Junction, but the name of the station itself will not have the word Junction in it.

4. Train/Station/Loco pics. Checkboxes will be removed. ALL station pics need to have the name of the train/station clearly visible in some form or the other. Regarding Locos, the loco number and shed should be clearly visible.

It is expected that many may not agree with these changes. But the main purpose here is to have a clear objective yardstick, and to avoid fights and controversies among TLMs and members. The changes will be available within the next day or two.

Thanks for everyone's cooperation.
