STRIKE KICK RULEWhat this rule is all about?:
If a member breaks any of the rules or directives then the member will go through a series of “strikes”, each increasing in severity. Note that if someone just makes an honest mistake, then a warning may be given, but no strike.
Who can get strike?:
All members are eligible for strikes including members of command.
Additionally if a member of Command gets 2 strikes, he is instantly Demoted.
Primarily, these Strikes will be given for flaming, trolling, or general abusive behaviour.
Violation that may be punished with a strike:
Includes but not limited to these examples:
- Flaming
- Trolling
- General abusive behavior
- Violation of Directives
- Violation of other rules
How does the system work?:
Strike 1: Warning.
Strike 2: 1 Week communications ban.
Strike 3: Removal from fleet.
If 45 days pass and no more strikes are given, all strikes are removed. However, if a member has one strike, and has had it for 44 days, then breaks another rule (or the same one) then the timer is reset to 45 days, now with 2 strikes.
Handing out strikes:
The member’s Division VA (so a member in Engineering could not be given a strike by the VA of Medical)
The Fleet Executive Officer
The Fleet Admiral
Disputing a strike:
Strikes can be disputed unless given by the Fleet Admiral.
If your VA gives you a strike, you could take it up with The Fleet XO, or the Fleet Admiral. If the Fleet XO gives you a Strike, you can take it up with the Fleet Admiral. Note that if you do dispute it, and who you ask agrees with the verdict, you cannot dispute it further.
Hierarchy: Fleet Admiral > Fleet XO > Vice Admiral
