A pulsing status dot
- Forbidden
- A green dot that pulses or pings beside "All systems operational", "Live", "Online"
- Instead
- A still dot and the word. Motion is for a state that is changing now: a sync in progress, a recording under way.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
A pulse says "look here, something is happening". On a status that has not changed in a week it is a false alarm on a loop, and it trains people to ignore the one indicator whose job is to be noticed when it matters (G-43 applies too: under reduced motion it must still read).
