One strike will be administered to individuals who fail to complete their quota, but fulfil at least ½ of their quota.
Two strikes will be administered to personnel who fail to complete at least half of their quota.
Conduct infractions will be addressed through the following disciplinary system, which will be overseen by ministry staff. These standards will not be uniform, as it is up to Supervisors (and above) to reach decisions on a case-by-case basis.
Minor infractions (such as a failure to address a rank properly, a dress code violation, mild immaturity) will first result in a warning or command to fix the issue by the disciplinarian. If the suspect fails to do so, they will be suspended for 24 hours.
Moderate infractions (such as disrespect, immaturity, “victimless”/light admin abuse, not abiding by ranking guidelines, etc) will result in an immediate 24-hour suspension.
Major infractions (major admin abuse, blatant disrespect for ministry guidelines, etc) will result in immediate expulsion (and being blacklisted) from the ministry.
If the suspension-worthy violation is executed again by the same suspect, the suspect is to receive a 72-hour suspension. If the violation occurs again, the user will be exiled from the ministry.
All conduct-related violations are to be logged appropriately under the trello, under the “Discipline Records” list.



PATROL/SUPERVISION GUIDELINES

PATROL GUIDELINES:
All ranks are required to meet a quota based on their rank. The minimum patrol time is 20 minutes.
Everyone is required to get a screenshot of their start and end time, proof of patrol, and proof of logs. When gathering proof of logs, type your name in the log search bar in order to see your logs and your logs only.
At the end of the patrol, follow the format on the trello and place it under the list titled “Patrol Reports”. There is no ban or kick quota, as those cannot be controlled by GA.
If you need to ban someone and you’re under the rank of Adjutant Supervisor, use the :ban command (if you’re in game) and file an incident report. Tag “staff” in the “trello updates” channel of the discord explaining that someone needs to be trello banned.
SUPERVISION GUIDELINES: FOR STAFF ONLY!
Staff ranks will be required to complete a quota consisting of supervision minutes. The minimum time for a supervision is twenty minutes, but supervisors are recommended to supervise the entirety of a patrol. A max of 2 administrators/candidates can be supervised at once.
Supervisors are to obtain evidence of their supervision from the beginning and end, with the supervised administrators or candidates being present in the screenshots. Screenshots of admin logs from all GA personnel present (including the supervisor) are also required.
During a supervision, the supervisor is to pay particular attention to what the administrator(s) are executing poorly and properly. If the administrator does something well, ensure that he/she knows it was executed properly. If the administrator fails to do something properly, inform him/her of the mistake, and how to correct it. Once the supervision ends, the Supervisor will reach a decision if the administrator has passed or failed the supervision. This decision is to be based on the quality of the administrator’s work, particularly how well they execute their responsibilities, and the quantity/severity of their mistakes.
At the end of the supervision, follow the format on the trello and place it under the list titled “Supervision Reports”.
