Order on Decorum and Character

Order on Decorum and Character

Importance

1. In order to be a true community of faith which pursues that call to holiness, it is necessary to have rules of conduct so that no weakness of behavior among the Core’s members may negatively impact the good of the whole. Holiness brings forth holiness while vice brings forth vice, so may all vice be removed from among us in hope that only holiness remains.

Code of Conduct

2. There shall be no discriminatory statements against the character or ideas of others whether they be explicit or implied including those aspects of a person that are intrinsic and unchangeable.

3. Members must allow their opponent or fellow speaker to explain their point of view before it is to be opposed or rejected.

4. There shall be an understanding of academic charity in that argument against a proposition must consider the strongest version of that proposition and not a “straw man” therein.

5. Humor is acceptable as long as it is good natured and not used as a means to be derogatory against others.

6. Repetitive posts often known as “spam” are unacceptable.

7. When discussing unpresent parties, the focus must be on their words, ideas, or actions and not their appearance or natural traits.

8. Discussion shall always be of academic fervor and caliber and immature ranting or episodes are unacceptable.

9. No matter how disagreeable an idea is, the focus of discussion must remain on the logistical and rational errors of the idea rather than the fault or imperfections of the idea’s holder.

10. This is not a men’s lounge so sexual talk and inappropriate lines of discussion are prohibited as Catholic is a forum for both men and women.

11. Any gossip or unfair characterizations of others is unacceptable.

12. Any attempt to anger someone for one’s own entertainment whether that be through hurtful humor, bad faith argumentation, defamation, flaming, baiting or any other means is unacceptable.

Domain of Force

13. All rules listed here shall apply to all areas under the governance of the Core of Catholics which includes the Core Discord, the Regional Message Board, and any forum in which one represents Catholic whether that forum be on NationStates or another regional forum or Discord.

14. The Vicar General and his/her appointed representatives have the authority and duty to suppress any Regional Message Board post that violates these rules.

15. A person whose post has been suppressed has the right to appeal to the Rota within 48 hours of the post being suppressed. The Rota shall then decide if the post should remain suppressed or not. The decision of the Rota is final.

16. Punishment for violating these rules includes but is not limited to suppression of posts, muting on Discord, banning from discord, ejection from the region, and banishment from the region.

Passed by the Supreme College of the Core 4-25-2021 by a vote of 7 in favor 0 opposed.
