Crimes & Punishment

(Before any punishment is reported, the offender and anyone involved with the situation regarding the crime must be contacted about it to ensure an accurate and unbiased report. Any reports issued without following this rule should be removed immediately.)

Corruption

4 class increase.

Corruption can be classified as:

• Abuse of authority and/or position of power

• Withholding evidence

• Acts of bribery

• Purposefully not reporting individuals - Example: Witnessing a crime and not reporting it. (If there is proof of you witnessing it.)
  Corruption includes Suppression of rights: Taking away regimental rights or individual rights are considered corrupt and will be charged strictly to its evidence. 
  Example - Regimental Weapons can no longer be taken from regiments. If they are taken away without that CO's permission the member responsible for taking such action will be charged for corruption. (Typically LT Col+) Another example could be refusing a member of the CA from the right to complain to a higher ranking. This is one of the most important Laws in the book and must be interpreted with full common sense. 

Insolence

3 class increase.

All Personnel must be able to respect one another. Being rude, insulting or putting on an attitude will not be tolerated.

The act of attacking/being rude to an individual.

Immaturity

1 class increase.

• All Personnel needs to use common sense at all times. This specification asks for good situational judgement. This basically means that a person should not do something that would clearly cause some kind of trouble or  where their actions could have some form of a negative impact. Even if it by other ML specifications is not technically a violation. They may be reported for immaturity, as it is immature and unprofessional to not think about the consequences before ones own actions. This only applies if no other part of ML is violated, as this is a lighter reason and punishment for a report, meant to close any loopholes of people simply doing something considered to be borderline crime.
  
  • Example: Someone is acting childish but not exactly by immaturity's standards but still doing it knowingly that it can cause problems.

• Emojis such as "XD", and "OwO" are banned. Simple emojis such as ":)", ":(", ";)" are allowed however. For a full list of whitelisted faces check below.

• All Personnel need to use a realistic skin tone.

• All Personnel are not allowed to wear any kind of packages in-game.

• All Personnel are not allowed to purposefully mess/fool around within any on-duty location.

• All Personnel are not allowed to dance/bunny hop within any on-duty location.
  This rule is not used in Fun CA wide events, during trainings as long as you aren't bothering anyone else, and in private servers like skirmishers as long as the host allows it.

• Spamming is also considered immature.
