Discipline System:
The Holy Roman Empire runs a very relaxed disciplinary system; However, in the event that a member is behaving in a poor manner, there are steps to take in order to combat it.
- If a member is acting in a disconcerting manner, the member issuing the warning must first verbally ask the member to behave. Remember to do this kindly as everyone makes mistakes.
- If the member persists in conducting wrongdoing, then the person issuing the warning is advised to serve an official warning to the person. This must be logged with evidence of the situation under the warning log in the forum.
- If a member is still out of hand after receiving their warning, the High Rank who handed out the official warning is then advised to either: demote the member if they are high enough rank, or are advised to call over someone who is high enough/iR to deliver a demotion.
- If the member is consistently disruptive shortly after receiving a demotion or if the member refuses to accept a demotion, it is advised that the High Rank dealing with the situation fires the member(s) responsible. This may require getting an iR with room rights to fire the person and teleport the member out of base. If a member receives four warnings over the course of two months, this will result in an immediate fire.
Tips to handle a disruption:
- Don't crowd around. Most of the time, disruptive people are looking for attention. If many members gather around or try to help and/or take over the situation, this will result in an escalation of tension, which will only add to the stress and difficulty of handling it with accuracy, precision, and efficiency.
- Don't be scared to ask for help. If you feel like you are struggling to handle a situation, then it is more than acceptable and highly advised that you ask an iR or a member who is higher ranked to come and take over and/or help you out.
- Check the base rules. If you are unsure whether what a member is doing is against the Holy Roman Empire's rules, be sure to check out the sub-pages outlining the specific rules(ie. base rules).
- Don't give warnings to members that fall asleep at stations unless it is persistent.
