Staff Rules
1. It is the duty of the Moderators and Administrators to ensure fair treatment of all Players, accuracy within the RP, and to enforce the rules equally, and accordingly. Staff should be respectful to all Members at all times, and should be versed in the rules of the site, the precedents of previous decisions, and Star Wars information, technology, history, and other subject matter. Moderators and Administrators are also expected to be in contact with the rest of the Staff, and to seek consensus in their rulings. At the same rate, the word of Staff is not law, the rules are law, and should a Player feel they are being treated unfairly, they are free to approach the Staff regarding the matter.
2. When commenting on a player's request, a Moderator or Administrator should provide thoughtful and respectful feedback to the player, and explain the reasoning of his or her decisions, citing specific rules or canon events and information as necessary. In dealing with requests, Moderators or Administrators should also allow the Player to defend their request, and help find alternatives should an agreement not be reachable. Management should also review character profiles (specifically history, weapons, and abilities), and help the Player make corrections as necessary. Staff must be vigilant of the forums for excessive and/or inappropriate profanity or harassment, and make it clear that such actions will no be tolerated. Staff has the authority to decide NPC "public opinion", in character, and will do so when necessary. 3. Moderators or Administrators demonstrating a consistent bias in favor of themselves, or in favor of or against specific players, will be removed from the Staff team with or without notice, as well as those that ignore established rules. Both Player and Staff abuse of power will not be tolerated. 4. Moderator or Administrator, civility and maturity is demanded, and required, in dealing with Members. Should it be in a dispute to simple OOC interaction, any Staff member is to be held to a higher standard, and outbursts or unreasonable actions will NOT be tolerated. 5. Staff reserves the right to change the rules, with notification of the Players, at any time. All forum changes and updates should be considered, and carried out, with the Players' opinions and interests in mind, as well as the site's overall well-being. Any Player requested rule changes should be seriously considered. 6. Management should follow common sense and the rules of the forum in their actions. When issuing warnings, please present a reason for such action. Any banishment must be with the consensus of the Staff team. |
