Combat Medic Poison Stacking: Yes's and No's

By now you are all aware of the fact that poison stacking is being culled, as it's effects have been vastly misused by many to an insane degree.

"But there was poison stacking!", you may say, and indeed there was, so we will go over what is and isn't able to be done!

What the Current Problem Is
Poisons of the same type can be stacked (ex. Mind Poison Delivery Unit C)
This stacking is indefinite
This allows for extremely high poison ticks or rate of ticks on high-end mobs

Many of you are aware of how it actually works, it's right there in the FAQ and information stickies, but just to make sure..

How it Should Be
Identical stat types could not stack
Different strength classes could stack (A, B and C, one of each) for each stat
The same applied to Areas and Areas stacked with singles
So Single A-B-C and Area A-B-C for health, action, and mind each

So What Does This Mean for Basilisk?

Basically: no more single C poison stacking. That's gone. No likey. No bueno.

You can, if you wish, use the proper methods as outlined above in order to use the different strength classes, however you may not resort to multiple use of a single type, at least not against high-end mobs (krayts, NS/SMC/Spiderclan, Acklay, Gorax whenever it's in, et cetera). And so..

The Rules:
CSRs may observe you in your natural habitat using poisons
If you are thought to be stacking identical poisons, you may be given a slight nudge on the shoulder, a simple pointer
If you are clearly stacking identical poisons, you will be officially warned
Repeatedly doing so in the future will lead to temporary suspensions, up to permanent at the discretion of the CSR team

Thank you all for your attention.
