General Overview and Standards

Being a member of command comes with a great deal of power and responsibility, what comes with this is a higher standard of roleplay expectations. You are expected to:

• Be the designated leadership for the department.
• Be a leader, not a boss. Be considerate of other players from an OOC perspective, as well as an IC perspective.
• Have a character that would be qualified for their position.
• Avoid LRP actions.
• Present yourself professionally in most circumstances.
• Do not act overtly sexual in public.

General guidelines for all command positions are as follows:

1. You should be competent with your department and aware of its relevant policy.
   • You should be able to assist your subordinates with most issues or complications they run into.
   • You should be a role model for your department, or at the very least a good representative.
2. As Command, you are expected to put the job first. This includes ERP.
3. Command equipment and clothing is to only be given as necessitated.
4. Loud mode should be used sparingly outside of emergencies, or getting everyone's attention.
5. Access should not be given out for frivolous reasons.
6. Do not change your job title outside of the titles provided.
7. Do not leave the station's facilities for an extended period of time without a good reason.
8. Access changes are not to be used to promote players to veteran-only roles.
9. Certain command members cannot pursue station threats, please check 'Cannot Seek Roles' in Antagonist Policy for information.

Demotion Guidelines

• Demotion can have a detrimental effect upon anyone it targets, and steps should be taken to mitigate the issue before resorting to demotion.
• Be considerate of context and the round at hand when deciding to demote someone.
• If you have special standards, they need to be communicated with your staff. As always, you are expected to act in good faith when following this policy, and keep demotions within their grounds.

Grounds for Demotion

The following are grounds for demotion:

• Repeat breaches of relevant departmental policy (if applicable).
• Recklessly endangering the crew through an active decision.
• Multiple minor or major misdemeanors.
• Minor felonies or higher crimes.
• Long term abandonment of your job, without clocking out. (Dereliction)
• Refusal of reasonable orders.
• Revocation of access to areas necessary to do their job.
• Usage of equipment or expertise related to their job to commit a crime.

Who Can Demote?

• All heads can demote subordinates within their own department. In the absence of a Head of Staff, the Captain may demote a member of the department.
• The captain has the power to demote a head.

Vote of No Confidence:

In the event command finds themselves with a captain who is within grounds for demotion, the members of command can hold a vote of no confidence. If passed on a majority vote, the captain is to be considered demoted and expelled from their position of power. The Captain cannot vote in this instance.
