[Shadow Company Command]

SC Discipline Guidelines

This outline is to specify punishments for infractions committed within Shadow Company. This shall act as a living breathing document and additions or changes can be added by a majority vote (3 out of the 5) of the SLC.

This new discipline proposal will be based on an 100% warning system. A warning level of 100% equals an automatic Dishonorable Discharge. A warning level of 80% will require COC review for possible Dishonorable Discharge. A warning level of 60% will disallow members for applying for any Squad Staff or COC positions. If a member is a squad staff or COC, a 60% warning level will result in demotion of rank.

If members are Dishonorably Discharge, the member is allowed to return under the Dishonorable Discharge policy. This policy requires that a member upon rejoining SC will receive an automatic 80% warning level. This level and all warning levels will be reduced by 20% per month. It is the responsibility of the offending member to request the warning decrease.

Warnings will be issued as follows:
Members will be assessed warnings by the levels listed. If a member is "in between" warning levels when another warning is assessed, the warning level will be raised to the next level.

EXAMPLE: Member has committed his third language offense. That is a 40% warning level. One month passes and warning level is reduced to 20%. Member then commits his fourth language related offense. Warning level is raised to 60%.

If a member has a warning level for an offense in one category, and then commits an offense in another category, the warning level will be raised by the new offense levels warning.
