From "Commission a Custom Merit Badge"  --


There is also a protocol for transferring "control" of a Group MB from one Group to another at the request of the original Group's owner. That procedure and the fee is detailed in "Re: Transferring an MB..."   by The ScaryMaster .

In a similar situation, when an account is closed and an Interactive story item is deleted, site policy is that the only way that item can be moved to another member's account is if the owner transfers it before their account is closed. The original owner is the copyright holder of the item, so the continued existence of their item is their choice.

In the situation you're discussing, the original owner of the Group item apparently deleted the Group item(s) when they closed their account instead of transferring them to someone else. Thus, it must be assumed that their intention was that the MBs would no longer be available to be given out.

Since the choice of when to end the availability of a MB is a right that belongs to the Group owner, it can be inferred that site policy for this situation would be that the Group owner's decision is to be respected.






Hope that helps.
