"Ad Astra Per Aspera"

 - SOL INVICTUS - 

One True Community

Societal Policy

This policy outlines the values and principles that help govern Sol.

Any policy violation may result in a warning, violation, ban, permanent ban, or blacklist.

General Expectations

❏  Establishing general behavioral guidelines for your success.



Keeping the Peace


    All members of Sol, regardless of their position, are expected to maintain a respectful demeanor toward others at all times. Any form of disrespect based on personal traits, beliefs, culture, or other individual characteristics will not be tolerated.


Any behavior that creates conflict within Sol, whether deliberate or unintentional, will not be permitted. Maintaining a harmonious atmosphere in the community and keeping personal disputes separate from Sol is paramount.



No Harassment 

 

    Under no circumstances is any form of harassment, including bullying, grooming, racism, sexual harassment, and others, tolerated within Sol Invictus. Any instances of such behavior, whether within or outside of the community, will result in a permanent ban and the possibility of being blacklisted.


The safety and security of our community are of utmost importance, and our goal is to maintain a friction-free and harmonious environment. Any known instances of harassing behavior will result in severe consequences, regardless of the circumstances.



Clean Voice Calls


    Please refrain from disrupting voice calls with any behavior that interferes with ongoing conversations or events. Members with moderation authority can mute or remove you from a call if necessary.


It is important to maintain the cleanliness of voice chats and avoid using them for illegal activities, harassment, or other disruptive purposes. Any actions that detract from the peaceful atmosphere of the community will not be tolerated.



Platform Terms of Service & Community Guidelines


    To ensure a safe and secure environment for all members, we request that everyone adhere to the Discord terms of service and the community guidelines. We also request that everyone adheres to all platform terms of service and community guidelines that Sol operates on.

General Reverence
 Properly recognize and respect the leaders.

    All members of Sol Invictus are expected to show proper respect when interacting within The Spheres.

All members of Sol Invictus are expected to show formal understanding to important messages referring to themselves or their rank in voice chats or text channels within The Spheres.
All members are expected to show proper acknowledgement to a message that requires acknowledgement within 48 hours of the message being received unless they are undergoing a posted inactivity period.
    If a message is posted that requires acknowledgement within The Spheres, members must show proper formal understanding, or react to the message.  

  • Always refer to their first name when showing understanding to a message, do not shorten their first names. 

  • When showing understanding, include the name of the individual you are showing understanding to at the end of your message.

  • There are no set restrictions in place on wording used, but must follow professional and respectful beginnings; as an example:

  • “Understood, Cypria” instead of, “Yur, Cypria” 

  • “Heard, Arsenius” instead of, “I gotchu, Arsenius”


General Fraternization

❏  Fraternization Conflict


In House Fraternization


In-house relationships are allowed within Sol, although both parties must be aware of the possibilities and detriment, conflict or drama can affect the community.

We advise and ensure that any couples entering a house together either together or separate, completely understand that any ramifications that cause drama or conflict will result in disciplinary actions of the couple involved and the house. 

The house leaders should ensure both parties or the new person joining is joining for the house, not the person they admire.

Depending on severity, individuals can be removed from the house or the server.




General Work Ethics

❏  Work honestly and diligently

Dishonesty


    We expect all members of Sol to be honest and transparent, and not withhold information that could potentially harm the community or its members.


Leadership positions come with a great deal of responsibility, and it is expected that these members will not use their authority to further their own interests or those of others.



Derelictions


    When you accept a task or a position, you are responsible for maintaining a certain performance standard. This includes:


  • Adhering to the established standards for the position or task,

  • Providing high-quality work,

  • Submitting complete work,

  • Clearly communicating any notices of inactivity,

  • Fulfilling the responsibilities of the task or position you have taken on.


You will be held accountable for your actions and are expected to live up to the standards you agreed to uphold. If you choose to abandon your task or position, you will forfeit the opportunity to hold that position again for up to 6 months or permanently.




General Assemblies 

❏  Avoid unmonitored deviant clique behavior

Assemblies


Sol Invictus members are prohibited from forming or participating in any online group activities that undermine the unity of the community, all assemblies have to be approved, group chats are never approved.


To request an assembly, open a Support ticket. 


Approvers are Aesurions and higher, all assemblies must be reported to an Aesurion promptly, and requests for approval must be submitted to an Aesurion.


If an assembly is approved, it must be overseen by two Aesurions. If the request is denied, the same request cannot be made again, and you cannot ask another authority.

Approvers cannot approve their own requests. Approvers cannot approve requests if they are one of the participants. Overseers cannot be participants, nor have a close relationship with the assembly owner.

Should an assembly become established and the 20% rule no longer relevant, overseers will decide with regard to no longer monitoring.


Assemblies which are part of members income, i.e. streaming, game development are subject to approval, however the 20% rule does not apply, nor do overseers have to be in the assembly.


Any group deemed harmful, misleading, unapproved, and/or unregistered by an Aesurion or higher is considered an illegal gathering and will face the consequences. Any gathering of more than 20% of Sol members is considered an assembly, on any platform.


Any unauthorized or unregistered assemblies must be disbanded immediately. Participants of such assemblies will be subject to warnings, violations, bans, permanent bans, or blacklisting.


Approval can be retracted if the assembly becomes a detriment to the unity and peace of Sol. Retracted approvals can have consequences for the owner(s) of the assembly.
