# Discipline Generally: It is anticipated that from time to time, it will be necessary to discipline officers for both in-character (IC) and out-of���??character (OOC) acts. Discipline is to be administrated and shall take place in accord with the provisions of this section. Failure to abide by the provisions of this section, either procedurally or substantively shall be grounds for review by the appropriate body or individual and itself an actionable offense if a particular individual is responsible for an intentional breach of this article in the administration or enforcement of discipline. | # Discipline Generally: It is anticipated that from time to time, it will be necessary to discipline officers for both in-character (IC) and out-of���??character (OOC) acts.

# Remote Locations: It shall be understood that there are instances in which offending acts may take place while not present on the home vessel of the officer committing said acts. In such cases, it is inefficient for the officerâ??s home captain to levy discipline, as he was not present at the location of said action, and he does not control the systems by which discipline may be levied. Therefore, in the following situations, discipline is at the sole discretion of the officers listed herein: | |||
## Forums: Discipline is to be levied by the head administrative officer, or by a moderator which is given the task by the head administrative officer. Discipline may be permanent or temporary, but must fit the severity of the action and must call upon the history of offending actions in this location. | |||
## Chat Rooms: The present moderator may levy temporary discipline based upon the offending action. Should the offending action occur repeatedly, the officer is to be â??bannedâ?? in whatever ways necessary to ensure that he does not return to the chat room. | |||
## Committees, Teams, or Guilds: Temporary discipline may be levied by the assigned chairperson of said group, but only to prevent further infractions from occuring. Said chairperson must immediately contact both the EC and the officerâ??s Captain to discuss further discipline. | |||
## At all times, officers who receive disciplinary measures are subject to the appeals processes discussed hereafter. | |||
# Discipline of Cadets, Ensigns, Lt. Jr. Grade, Lt., and Lt. Commanders (as well as all corresponding marine ranks): The discipline of such officers is left to the Sole Discretion of the vessel command officer, as long as said officer officially holds the rank of commander or above and has been officially recognized as being the command officer of said vessel. It is recognized that in the course of commanding vessels, such decisions must be made on an expedited basis to preserve discipline and for that reason the command officers are vested with extraordinary discretion in this regard. Discipline levied in this fashion is subject to the appeals processes discussed hereafter. | # Discipline of Cadets, Ensigns, Lt. Jr. Grade, Lt., and Lt.

# Discipline of Commanders. The discipline of a full commander is the sole province of the vessel command officer appointed above him unless the commander is himself solely in charge of a vessel or installation. In the former case, the appeals process is as discussed hereafter and as set forth in the subsection above. In the latter case, the discipline shall be in all manners conducted as if the officer in question held the rank of captain as discussed in subsections hereafter. Although formal approval or ratification by the EC of a disciplinary decision herein contemplated shall not be required, the actions of the captain shall themselves be subject to discipline if they so merit. | # Discipline of Commanders.
