There are no month-by-month check records, so every month is shown as “Unverified”.
Paid resets: funded accounts could buy a reset after a violation → a funded account that has received a payout (reward) can no longer be reset (both Instant Funding and funded accounts from an evaluation; also applies to accounts that received a payout before the rule was introduced).
It also applies to accounts that already received a payout, so it is flagged as retroactive. It only affects whether a paid reset is possible; payouts and profits are not reduced, so it is rated A, not S.

When prohibited trading is found
The forfeiture scope on violations widened. Profit forfeiture was already in the January terms; this change makes fee forfeiture “certain” rather than “possible” and states unpaid payouts explicitly. We consider the practical change small.

News trading: Swing challenges unrestricted (Jul 27 article) → article deleted (Oct 3–16); Oct 5 news rule states no exception (1% per-trade profit cap within five minutes of high-impact releases)
The deletion of the unlimited-Swing article alone does not confirm that the general 1% news cap now applies to Swing, so no severity is assigned.

Payout fee: 2% → 3%
A fee that was already 2% rose by 1 percentage point. It does not stop payouts and is a small cost increase, so C.

Payout address matching another GFT account is an account breach
A new condition makes it a violation simply to use the same payout address as another account, without any chance to explain or change it. An input error or identity-verification issue that should be fixable leads directly to an account violation and could cause a large loss, so A.
