These rules are to be followed by ALL Staff. Including Administration. Failure anywhere to do so, will result in the proper punishment. In effect, May 21th, 2005.
Staff Procedures
1. All Staff members are to respect and value each individual member upon this board.
- Any disrespect or insults made by staff is grounds for removal.
- No staff member is to be involved in conflict with a member.
- Any conflict started by a staff member will be locked and the staff member suspended. No exceptions.
2. All moderators are to discuss punishments with a fellow staff member.
- This, however, does not include Administrators. An administrator's decision is final, no exceptions.
- As staff, you will gain insight on the situation by discussing the problem with a fellow staff member. This ensures unbiasness.
3. The Warning System.
- Due to the lack of a warning system at the moment, the current staff procedures will be done, and handled manually, until one is installed. A member will get warned when a staff member sees fit. This will be logged within the staff disciplinary board, and will be kept track of. Each thread, made for the specific member, will hold -all- the current disciplinary actions of that -one- member. No other members will be mentioned on any other member's disciplinary thread.
- Two warnings will merit a member's banment. After two warnings are issued, than a member will be banned for two weeks. If indecent behavior persists, it will double, and so on.
- If a banned member does not take the ban willingly and continues to return to the forum, than an administrator is to be informed and an I.P ban is put into place. Only administrators can issue this ban, and will ONLY be used in severe cases.
4. All disciplinary actions are to be logged on the Discplinary Board.
-Titles of the thread will be listed as follows:
Chosen Punishment - [Member Name]
Warnings are to be listed simply as Warning. Staff will keep track of the tallied warnings. No Verbals are to be given. We are all adults here and following the rules is simple, thus, no 'first' chances or lienency is given. Any actions not logged will results in suspension of power.
5. Promotion. Promotion is conducted by Administration only. Just because you are staff, do not expect your input on new staff to be taken deeply. Administration will, however, take it into consideration, but there are no promises. We only reward those that we feel contain great potential.
The Promotion List is as Follows:
- Moderator:Power over 3-4 or more forums.
-Global Moderator: Contains power over all boards and serves as 'mini -admins' when administrators are not present. When administration is not present, moderators are to recieve orders from Global Moderators.
- Administrators: Those given access to the Administration Panel where they can enhance the site Graphicly and/or decide all major forum layout.
6. Staff Conduct. As staff you have a large amount of responisibility regardless of where.
- Conflict: As staff, you will hold no personal preference nor biasness towards any one member. You are to judge arguments with a level head to make the best decision for all parties involved.
- Announcements: As staff you are given access to the Announcement board and will be expected to keep all members up to date with the forum changes/ideas as well as the current roleplay. Failure to do so can result in suspension of powers.
-Involvement: You are not expected to mod daily, but your involvement to mod conflict is expected. If you fail to mod a conflict when you are presently online, it will be contounted against you when it comes to promotion.
7. Procedures for OOC (Out of Character)
- Posting oocly on a roleplay thread will not be tolerated unless you are staff. And as staff, you will keep posting oocly on a roleplay MINIMAL. You are trying to set an example for others, do not get involved in things that escalate.
OOC threads upon the following boards are to be open for -7- days and than locked by staff.
-Free Discussions
-Venting Booth
-Politics
Allowing threads open one week cuts down on the ooc posting, and emphasizes are encouragement to become involved into roleplay. When one week is up, the thread will be locked and if another is created, deleted. Failure to do so will result in a moderator recieving a warning.
8. Procedures for the Venting Booth.
- As staff, you are required to watch these threads excessively. Members are expected to respect the privilege and if any names are placed in insults, you are to lock and move the thread. Recreation of the thread is deleted immediately. No exceptions. If this gets out of hand, than administration will consider removing the board entirely.
In closing:
I have high expectations from all staff members, and I'm proud to say that we are more than capable of handling thing with a unbiased mind. If at anytime the rest of staff feels a member of staff is unfit, a conference will be called, and a final decision will be made.
Current Staff: Site Administrator/Lady of Lashire- Marlene' / Lady Destiny
Administrator-/Lord of Lashire Brian/ Lord Ashram
Global Moderator/Elite Knight- N/A
More staff will be added later on.
