Actionable Response

Please send a Direct Message to our current Cloud 9 Leadership and to the Cloud 9 Founder if someone is bending or breaking the rules or has recently done so.

By receiving notifications of concerns and issues, it will be easier for us to maintain a fun environment.

Chat moderators and leads in the 'verse are not obligated to explain their actions, except to leadership; they are not obligated to tell others the rules.

If you are interested in helping out through the Neighborhood Watch or possibly being part of leadership, reach out in Cloud 9 Chat.

Consequences for Failure to Follow the Rules

Bending or breaking rules results in actions against the offender as deemed appropriate by leadership.

Actions may include, but are not limited to the following:

• Removal of text-based posts and/or being asked to edit them.

• Being muted, deafened, moved, and/or removed from voice.

• Losing positions, roles, access, and/or receiving rank demotions.

• Being kicked or banned from our communications networks.*

• Removal from our framework and its org and group networks.

*Includes removal from the public server, Cloud 9 Chat, and private servers.

Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for failure to follow them.

Violating our code of conduct or rules of engagement will result in removal.

Any action taken by leadership may occur with or without explanation, at any time, with or without delay.

Benefits to Successfully Following the Rules

Active citizens abiding by the rules receive supportive actions as deemed appropriate by leadership.

Action may include, but is not limited to the following:

• Receiving primary positions, including within crews** and other subgroups.

• Attaining promotions through ranks** and professions.

• Being elected into management or leadership by citizens.

• Being appointed into management or leadership by the founder.

• Being granted a key or critical role overseeing executive aspects of our networks.

**Requires having previously completed onboarding and becoming a crewmate.

Awareness of the rules and helping us follow them will make life easier and more enjoyable for us.

Benefits may take time to achieve. Additional criteria, like validations of skills, will also factor in to receiving promotions and similar benefits. Active citizens must earn their place through merit; those who help lift us to higher standards and have an outstanding and clearly positive impact on our framework become eligible for one of the highest tiers of governing leadership.
