1. Harassment Abuse Three Strike Rule – general guideline for violation of our Ethical Guidelines – Result Yes

 

Incident 1 – Out 7 days 

Incident 2 – Out 3 weeks 

Incident 3 – Out pending group conscience

 

*** Note:  This is meant to be a general guideline regarding harassment – it is not meant to be a complete consideration of our rules of conduct.  

 

For instance, this rule does not consider the gravity of conduct.  This implies that we may remove someone for more serious conduct, without adhering to this general and loose guideline as long as it adheres to a group conscience vote.  

 

(An example to consider would be removal of a member on group conscience vote who traded nude pictures of another member, or for illegal conduct that would certainly bring in law enforcement investigation if reported).
