As a staff member, you are expected to be active in-game and in the Discord server. River City Roleplay has a strict requirement of 50 messages per week for all staff. The following are items that contribute to this count:
Text messages in any channel
Images in any channel
Bot commands in any channel
You are also expected to engage in conversations regularly and involve yourself in the community. Although we don't yet have a quota for in-game activity, you should still make an attempt to involve yourself in game sessions. We won't punish you for this unless you've tried to attend less than 2 sessions in a month.
Staff Checks happen once a week, and inactive staff members are punished according to the table below.
Sometimes, you will be unable to complete your mod duties. When this happens, an LoA is a good idea. LoA stands for 'Leave of Absence', and it is a term used to reference a temporary leave from server duties. All staff are allowed to take a maximum of 2 weeks off, or up to 6 with approval from the founders. If you are requesting a leave longer than 6 weeks, it will be denied. Your LoA might be denied for one of these reasons:
You're requesting LoA's too quickly
Your LoA is too long
Your LoA is for an invalid reason
You are requesting LoA as a result of a punishment
Your LoA might also be denied for one of the reasons not listed above. To request an LoA, run the /leave request command in #🤖┃staff-cmds Please do not ask an HR to review your request once it's submitted.
Rule 1, Respect
As a staff member, you should hold the utmost respect for both your co-workers and community members.
Rule 2, Command Abuse and Negligence
As a staff member, you should only use your commands when you must, and they should not be used to intentionally disrupt a roleplay.
Rule 3, Server Rules
As a staff member, you should be following all server rules properly, and they may be enforced more harshly than a regular community member.
Rule 4, Bias
As a staff member, you should be friendly towards your co-workers and friends. However, you shouldn't favor someone over the other in terms of moderating.
Rule 5, Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar
As a staff member, you should be utilizing spelling, punctuation, and grammar in-game. This is optional in the Discord server; however, your English still needs to be intelligible.
Rule 6, Commands
As a staff member, you should be adhering to the following guidelines while using commands:
Having at least 3 characters of the user's username when moderating
Not using them to teleport or view people you have no reason to talk to
Rule 7, Professionalism
As a staff member, you should be as professional as you can. In-game, refrain from using abbreviations or acronyms such as lol, idk, imo, and others.
Rule 8, Driving Laws
As a staff member, you should be following all driving laws. This includes:
Using your turn signal
Not crossing a double solid line
Stopping at red lights and stop signs
Yielding to cars of which have the right of way
As a reminder, HR+ have the ability to use their own discretion when deciding consequences for breaking rules.
As a staff member, you will be punished differently from normal civilians. In fact, you may be punished harsher than normal civilians due to the fact that you are expected to have already known the rules. There is a set list of punishments that can be invoked upon you, at HR+ discretion. If you believe that a punishment is unfair, please create an IA ticket to appeal.
The applicable punishments are as follows:
Staff Warning
None
A staff warning is a written warning that does not negatively affect staff members.
Staff Strike
1 Month (2 for activity)
A staff strike is a written warning that delays the staff member's next possible promotion date.
Staff Suspension
1 month upon end
A staff suspension temporarily removes a staff member's roles and permissions.
Demotion
1 month 15 days
A demotion moves a staff member back 1-2 ranks.
Termination
N/A
A termination removes a staff member's roles until they apply again.
Staff Investigation
N/A
A staff investigation removes a staff member's roles indefinitely while they are audited.
Retraining
1 month
A retraining sends the staff member back to the ride along stage of their training.
Blacklist
Permanent
A staff blacklist is the same thing as a termination, except that the staff member cannot re-apply.
Ban
Permanent
A ban terminates the staff member and bans them from the server.
Please note that these punishments may be stacked upon. For example, if a staff member commits an offense worthy of a demotion, and another worthy of a suspension, they will be demoted and suspended.
