Code of Conduct

Preface

As a member of the Scientific Department, there are set expectations that Scientific Command expects those to meet. Those found in violation of these regulations shall be dealt with by the Scientific Department Command Team.

Section II > On-Site Expectations


Keep in mind that while on the Scientific Department team at Paragon Research Institute, you are expected to follow the on-site regulations. It is important to note that all rules mentioned in the Code of Ethics are also applicable to members of ScD. If any team member is found to be violating the CoE, they will be reported to the Ethics Committee. Please note that the punishments listed for each offense are not necessarily the exact consequences for the violation. The punishment may be more or less severe depending on the severity of the offense and the decision of the issuer.


Light Infractions 


Moderate Infractions 


Severe Infractions



Varied Infractions - Punishment depends on severity, intent and context 


Section III > Discord Expectations

ScD Discord expectations apply only within the ScD Discord server. The ScD Discord server is subject to the expectations and rules of the main Paragon Discord server. Any violation of these rules will be reported to the moderators, and the punishment will be the same as that which would be given in the central Paragon server.

Light Infractions - Warnings or temporary restrictions


Severe Infractions - Potential ban from ScD Discord and/or Paragon server



Varied Infractions

Section IV > Command Expectations


Command expectations are applicable while on the Scientific Department team in Paragon Research Institute, and in the ScD Discord server. It is worth noting that the command team is held to a higher standard than regular ScD members and is not exempt from the Paragon Code of Ethics. All ScD Command must also strictly follow the Code of Conduct as well.


Light Infractions


Varied Infractions

Section V > Private Server Regulations 

While you are in the ScD private server, the Code of Ethics is not directly enforced by EC. As a result, we have established our own set of rules that apply to all personnel present on the server, including command personnel.


Moderate Infractions


Severe Infractions

Section VI > Mock Test Regulations 


During mock tests, the host can simulate a regular test inside a private server. To ensure that the event runs smoothly and remains organized, we have established guidelines for both command and non-command members. It is important to note that all private server regulations will still apply during the mock test.

Moderate Infractions


Extra regulations for Command:

Section VII > Lab Regulations


To ensure smooth testing inside the Laboratory, we have established the following guidelines for all members of the Scientific Department.


Light Infractions

Moderate Infractions

Misc Infractions

Section VIII > Miscellaneous Punishments


These punishments can range from submitting a fraudulent application, to a punishment issued by the O5 Council. These punishments do not fit the criteria of other sections, thus they are a different category.


Varied Infractions

Section VII > Punishments

The following is a list of punishments that can be issued by command members. All types of punishments are logged, regardless of their severity. If a member of ScD believes that a punishment was unjust, they may send a ticket or contact the appeals team within the main Paragon Discord Server.


Breaking a rule multiple times will result in the punishment level for that rule being raised to the next level.
