<a class='bbc_url' href='http://z1.invisionfree.com/forums/theSPacific/index.php?showtopic=7344'>See here for current law</a>
While I was a cabinet member, cabinet routinely sent out TGs informing nations when they broke the 40% endorsement of delegate barrier. As you can see in the link, it's when they hit 50% when we warn them 3 times, then boot. (in effect, they get 4 TGs, though if they are extremely high, the boot could occur earlier)
I've been mulling over that perhaps if we sent an earlier TG (similar to the 40% number) when a nation gives out more endorsements (commonly called endo-tarting, or tarting) than a certain number set against the delegate's current level of endorsement. It can be set at 100%, 70%, or some other number.
This idea could replace the friendly note sent at the 40% endorsement TG, if we want to keep the same level of correspondence, or keep it and drop the number of TGs after 50% to 2.

Why do this?[*:1ez02x35]When a nation does give more tarts than the delegate's levels of endorsements, it can be seen as a direct challenge against the delegate, assuming ever nation returns the endorsement;
[*:1ez02x35]It opens the lines of dialogue earlier with the nation in question. So it also increases the potential for joining the board, and their knowledge of the region and its laws. It also reduces the amount of resentment they will feel when they are informed earlier;
[*:1ez02x35]It allows them to slow down/stop endo-tarting so they don't get to the 50% of endorsements and cause more problems/resentment;
[*:1ez02x35]It also reduces the amount of influence-damage when players need to be booted, as they will have a lower level of endorsements/tarts;
[*:1ez02x35]It allows us to track/talk to invader nations quicker, forcing them (in theory) to switch to another puppet. (i don't know enough about that side, so ... yah)
