Staff punishments are handed out in 2 different ways. 1 follows standard punishment procedure like everyone else, if a staff member breaks the rules they face the same consequence as every other regular player. Infraction, PSO, etc. There then is the internal policy which is kept private, staff are given strikes against their accounts only visible to managers and above. Staff members who acquire 3 strikes will find themselves with being demoted or dismissed from the staff team.
This will be a discussion between Mike and I, and managers finally. - I find no need for this to happen, as even if they were made public 95% of the community would bitch and scream whilst carrying on like a bunch of toddlers screaming black and blue that the punishment handed out was not harsh enough.
=/= I am not against this, but I also do not support it either.
Make staff punishments public
Thank you for your balanced response.
What type of conduct would generally result in a strike? Do forum reports that result in admins being punished result in strikes?
True.

I see no (dis)advantage with this acceptance of this suggestion, which means, I wouldn't mind if it gets accepted/rejected. It's upto the Ops Manager and Mike to decide whether or not they want to make the punishment public.

I don't think anyone's punishments should be public. Because then you end up with people saying 'that's not fair, he got punishment X for doing offense Y but when I did offense Y I only got punishment Z!'.
