The rule protecting characters from being killed without player consent is a useful rule, in my opinion, since it protects players from their characters being killed without good reason, maybe because someone doesn't like them, or wants to get rid of them for whatever reason. That's not what I want to talk about, or suggest, though.
It's become a concern to me that people have ways to completely work around this rule as they please, through another means. People may attempt to make a character unplayable without killing them, as such, by possibly removing all of their limbs, or making them brain-dead, to name some ways that I've heard suggested. This makes the former a problem, still. People would be able to use this tactic to make a character unplayable, maybe just because they don't like them, and want to get rid of them, making the kill consent rule useless.
My suggestion is that the rule could be updated to say "You must have consent from a player to make their character unplayable, through death or other means", to ensure people can't "kill" off characters through other means. When a character's time to die comes, it'll be up to a good RPer to decide... but people forcing characters to be unplayable like this is scary in the atmosphere of this community.
