It's not really that confusing.
You can't make a rule saying that people can't go to tournaments.
You can't make a rule saying that people must spend a certain amount of time in realm in order to hold a position, or be included in a particular group.
Wow - after I typed it out, it looks even easier than what I was imagining.
So then people just say, you are not yet experienced enough, or you have not yet proven your loyalty to the realm or whatever. We end up in the same place as we did back when Orders could only be issued by certain characters, or the situation with people attempting to punish people for inactivity without mentioning inactivity or 100 other situations where people do what they want regardless of the rules and just phrase things so they aren't infringing against the rules as they are written.
What you want to achieve is all well and good, but just making a rule hardly fixes anything.
