Whilst punishments are primarly undisclosed for staff members, its not to hide it from the public but rather to avoid embarassement to the staff member in question.
Verbal / written warnings are a type of punishement for staff members, and strikes are placed against their accounts internally.
I have also decided staff are able to be issued "infractions" for poor staff conduct.
If players can be issued infractions for poor conduct / rule breaking, it only seems fair that staff can receive the same type of punishment.
In an attempt to clear up staff punishments, the punishment is dependant on how severe you could class the offence.
Minor offence, - we might issue 2 warnings and then lead to strikes.
Commonly the 1st strike is reffered to as a "warning strike" - This is placed against their account for an extended period and depending severity a demotion may take place for upto a 2 week period.
The 2nd strike, will be given if after the 1st strike the staff member still displays poor conduct. The second strike will result in a demotion for a longer period of time. Commonly upto a 1 month period (30 days).
The 3rd and final strike, if after the second strike the staff member can't get their head around things that may lead to the final strike. The final strike will lead to dismissal from the staff team, and a blacklist period where they cannot rejoin.
I hope this will clear things up, and in particular bring light to how staff punishments are handled.
Any further information, I will be happy to clarify for you guys.
