REFERENCES.
Starfleet Regulation 270-100, Fleet Justice,
Astro Fleet Supplement to Starfleet Regulation 270-100, Fleet Justice,
Manual for Courts-Martial, United Federation of Planets (2375 Edition)
APPLICABILITY. This policy applies to all players and activities under the jurisdiction of Astro Fleet.
POLICY. A commander has a powerful role in the Starfleet justice system that affects individual lives as well as the morale and readiness of their subordinates. This duty must be performed deliberate, carefully, and with strict compliance with rules and regulations. Commanders must understand and comply with the following provisions:
a. A player deserves individual and fair consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding each allegation of misconduct. Treat each case individually; always consider the service record of the player, the circumstances under which the misconduct took place, the impact it had on the SIM, and the effect on Astro Fleet morale.
b. Player’s superiors will not have and inflexible policy, or predetermined punishment based on each type of offense.
Commanders will dispose of all allegations of offenses at the lowest level, in determining
what is fair, the commanders will contact the Staff Judge Advocate.
d. Neither commanders nor subordinates will discourage potential witnesses, directly or indirectly, from testifying on behalf of a player. To the contrary, individuals possessing favorable information regarding a player are encouraged to testify since fairness to the individual player demands nothing less.
e. Punishing a player before appropriate investigation is completed is unlawful, even if the commanders intend is to deter other players from engaging in similar misconduct. Furthermore, any treatment that humiliates, ridicules, or contrary to the dignity and respect of the player is prohibited.
Players are our most precious resource, and they will remain loyal to caring, and fair
commanders. An unfair approach to justice will have an adverse impact on the SIM.
EXPIRATION. This Astro Fleet Command Policy Memorandum will remain in effect until superseded.

SUBJECT: Use of Indecent and Offensive Language.
REFERENCES.

Starfleet Regulation 69-70, Chapter 75, Discipline
Starfleet Code of Justice, Article 92, Failure to Obey Order or Regulation
Starfleet Code of Justice, Article 134, Indecent Language
APPLICABILITY. This policy applies to all players and activities under the jurisdiction of Astro Fleet.
POLICY. This policy is punitive. Violators may be subjected to action under that Starfleet Code of Justice (SCJ).
a. General Guidelines. The use of indecent and/or offensive language by members of Astro Fleet is not only in bad taste, but disrespectful to all members of our Fleet. While private conversations remain the business of those involved, conduct during posts has a direct impact on our simulations (SIMS). Everyone should be assisting in policing the use of indecent language on Astro Fleet.
(1) Actions Against Players. Profanity and other types of offensive language may often be considered indecent, prejudicial to good order, and disrespectful to Astro Fleet, therefore punishable under Article 134, of the Starfleet Code of Justice. Article 134 defines "indecent" language as that which is "Grossly offensive to modesty, decency, and propriety, or shocks the moral sense, because of it’s vulgar, filthy, disgusting nature, or its tendency to incite lustful thoughts."
b. Sexually Harassing Speech. Sexually harassing speech is of special concern. Sexual harassment includes among other things, sexually explicit speech, jokes, and sexual comments. Players who violate this policy are subject to punitive action.
EXPIRATION. This Astro Fleet Command Policy Memorandum will remain in effect until superseded.
