		== Admin Policy - Abridged: ==
		Administrative Process:

		Our volunteer team of moderators and administrators exist to maintain and contribute to the community direction goals of the server. They do this primarily through the ticket system and the in-game Admin Help (Ahelp) menu, either in response to a user request, complaint, or concern, or as a corrective action in response to behaviors observed to be outside the scope of our community rules and guidelines.

		Team members typically use these systems to discuss with players matters of server expectations, concerns they may have over IC and/or OOC actions, and complaints levied against specific behaviors. Involvement in these systems does ''not'' imply that there will be punitive or corrective action; Communication is always the first step, and in the majority of cases, is often solely sufficient.

		When an Admin Help or user ticket is received, it is also relayed into chats accessible by all team members. An available team member that is also in a position to assist will either reply and attempt to handle the issue, or inform the issuing party that the message has been received and is undergoing review. In cases more complex than something like a simple item request, team members will discuss with one or more colleagues on how to proceed, with any potential concerns noted and weighed into the response.

		Management Tickets and Staff Complaints are handled by Head Administrators, Owners, or the System Admin exclusively. There has been precedent for such a ticket to be referred to a Senior Administrator, though this is uncommon and is a considered decision that is approved by several upper team members beforehand.

		When tickets are created, a secondary channel is also generated to allow team members to discuss the ticket at hand, provide supporting evidence, logs, or relevant information to the discussion. Both the contents of the ticket and this secondary discussion channel are logged alongside any investigation threads pertaining to the ticket itself, for reference by Head Administrators or Owners in the case of appeals or further required action.

		All in-game information - including whispers, subtle out of character conversations, emotes, actions, and any other shared data - is logged to the game server. Requests to view replays are noted internally amongst the team, and any abuse of access of these logs is treated with the highest severity. While administrators cannot view whispers, subtle emotes, and subtle out of character messages in-round, these messages are visible in logging, and may be reviewed during an ongoing investigation only if it is pertinent to a suitably severe case.

		It is important to remember that team members do not void their desire or ability to participate in the game as a result of joining the administration team - They are both players and people, and volunteer their time freely to try and maintain comfort, safety, and ongoing consent for the community. Abuse of team members is not tolerated whatsoever; If you feel that a team member has made a mistake or acted inappropriately, you are encouraged to open a Management ticket or Staff complaint. The Den is a collaborative space, and without active communication between team members and the player base at large, it is impossible to effective maintain these core values.

A1.7.1 Do not intentionally damage dorm areas, or any bolted room that may contain a private scene, if at all possible.

	As a rule of thumb for ghost roles in general: do not be overly disruptive and a detriment to the fun. You may go on a rampage and kill a lot of people as a dragon because that is what you are meant to do, but do not go out of your way as a mouse or Pun Pun to disturb people's privacy and ERP, or to persistently harass and annoy people or break things for no reason.

Neutral and antagonist ghost roles should not powergame by acting friendly one minute and be hostile the next, the moment a great opportunity presents itself.

However, they are expected not to go too overboard if choosing to be hostile, and limit themselves to being just a nuisance at worst.

	~~Furthermore, though roleplaying a creature as one would~~ be ~~expecting it~~ to ~~behave is also strongly encouraged, due to the inherent nature of such~~ roles ~~often having as a main objective~~ to ~~kill as many living things as possible, certain core antagonist guidelines are a bit relaxed (specifically and in particular those relating to killing)~~.

			A1.11.1 Antagonistic ghost roles such as dragon, skia, ninja, deserters, and lone operatives may choose to behave in a non-violent or non-hostile way, to pursue different roleplay scenarios.

			However, be aware that while dialogue and compromise is always encouraged, it is strongly encouraged for the crew to act hostile and suspicious within reason, and security is allowed to escalate and take hostile actions to end anything they perceive as a danger, unless a peaceful arrangement has been agreed to and announced to the station.

			If an antagonist and the station have come to a peaceful arrangement which has been announced to the station, the relevant ghost role antagonists and station security may no longer engage in antagonistic activities, combat, or hostilities without appropriate roleplay reasons for escalation.

	A1.12 Do not conceal antagonist activity behind the guise of a private scene that would require consent to view. This explicitly includes misleading people through chat, or misusing door bolting mechanics. You may act it out in-character, but clarify in LOOC if you wish to do this as an exclusively IC scenario.

			R8.17 Make use of door bolting mechanics to indicate that a room is being used for a private scene involving topics that require consent to view. Do not use bolted doors to conceal antagonist activity under the guise of a private scene. Using door bolting in combat, for station defense, or when the situation is very obviously not involving a private scene is acceptable. Do not breach a bolted door unless it is abundantly clear that it is not being used to indicate that a private scene is taking place. If in doubt, ask for admin assistance.
