List policy:
The TGN lists will have the following policy in regards to harassing, offensive, or vulgar behavior (as defined by the list moderator).<br>The first occurrence of such behavior will be given a public warning on the list on which it occurred, this is given as a “benefit of the doubt” warning to have the behavior corrected voluntarily by the offender.

The second occurrence of such behavior will be also be given a public warning on the list on which it occurred, to be followed by the offender being put on moderated posting for a period of one month. This means that the list moderator will read all posts by the offender before they are posted publicly. If the behavior continues, the list moderator has full rights to refuse the public posting of the posts as well as move onto a third level occurrence.

If, after the moderation period expires, the behavior continues, the offender will be removed from the list on which the offences occurred for a period of three months, or longer as determined by the list moderator.

Organizational level Discipline
Most disciplinary procedures should be handled on a chronicle level; however there are instances where it is necessary to discipline someone on an organizational level.

If someone is accused of violating one of the posted bylaws or subsections of the organization, the EXO will appoint one member of the executive staff to act as an impartial investigator to the alleged offense; this person should not be a member of the chronicle in which the alleged offense occurred. The accused will be given the same opportunity to appoint one member of the executive staff to act as an impartial investigator to the accusation; this person should not be a member of the chronicle in which the alleged offense occurred.

There will be a period of one month for both investigators to determine the validity of the accusations. If the accusations are proven to be true, the Board will discuss and vote upon the appropriate punishment. If the accusations are against a Chronicle, the punishment could be as little as losing their Board voting privileges for a period of three to six months, to being placed pack on Probation, to being removed from the organization. If the accusations are against an individual, they can be unable to hold any Executive level office, be restricted from traveling to specific chronicles, having their character removed from play, or be suspended from all game play in the org, up to and including a complete ban from the organization.
