ICARS stands for the Information Classification and Rating System, pronounced as "Icarus"
This system is used to rate the overall sensitivity of topics and information posted on the webboard and wiki. This system is in development and open for improvement.
ICARS::0
Level zero access is access to the public domain, usually without requirement of registration. In the case of product use, such as in games developed by IO.IN, registration may be required.
ICARS::1
Level one access contains minimally sensitive material, such as unreleased staff names, addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, personal chat handles, and so on. Information on this level is retained by IO.IN's core server.
ICARS::2
Level two access includes limited (explictly related) code development, change logs, small segments of code, and graphical and story concepts. All Senior Staff have access to this level, but not all Staff do. Lower lever staff require to be activly working on a related project to access it.
ICARS::3
Level three access includes concepts for future projects and concepts for further expanding current ones. At this level, only Senior Staff and the proposer knows of information to start with. Once the Senior Staff approve it, it is released to the related Staff.
ICARS::4
Level four contains completed patch code that is not yet implemented, full concepts, code proposed to be released as open source, beta software, and so on. Information at this level must contain a minimum encryption level of rar-encrypt, and use a password based on IO.IN's password guidelines
ICARS::5
Level five contains whole code, completed specifications, code error reports, hacks, and the Communications Root password. Information on this level is only stored in high security environments
ICARS::6
Level six contains the highest information about IO.IN, regarding payments to staff, resumés, logs of executive sessions, and so on. No one person is ever entitled to know all information at this level. Any logs of information at this level is to be stored in a highly secure manner.
