Hi all. I've created this post to explain to you the changes made in the Meeting room policy.

A new "Unit" has been created, ran by all iC members, to try and minimize the amount of meetings held.

Meeting Rules

Meetings will never run properly without rules to ensure maximum efficiency. These rules must be followed by all <SS> members at all times while in a meeting in the Meeting Room. If you are found breaking these rules you may have your badge removed, be demoted or in serious cases terminated from the Secret Service altogether. Please be aware that EST (Eastern Standard Time) is our preferred time zone. And you must use it!

Requirements to host and/or be in a meeting:

You must be HR+ to receive the Meeting Room badge and attend meetings unless approved by a Co-Owner+
MoD's can hold a meeting, having an iC member as their Co-Host.
You MUST BE Presidential (4iC)+ to hold a meeting by yourself.

Host rules/powers:

The minimum rank you must be to attend a current meeting may be raised by the host and must be respected by all <SS> members.
The host of the meeting is the single most person in-charge of the meeting.
Their may only be a maximum of one host in the meeting.
Their may be a co-host to assist the host if it's required.
The (co)host are the only two that may use color chat.
The host of the meeting starts and ends the meeting.
The host of the meeting chooses who may speak.

General meeting rules:

You must be silent at all times during the meeting unless you are permitted to speak by the host.
If you wish to speak you must not use ALL CAPS or color chat.
Only one member is to be speaking in the meeting at a time.
If you would like to speak wave constantly and wait.
Show respect to all attending members.
A iC member MUST be present in your meeting. This is to help us keep records of meetings.

The iC member present may bypass these rules. And take over as Host if they feel suitable.

If you have any concerns please post them below. And i will try and get back to you.

I think if we are trying to get people to be quiet or others, iCs should be permitted to use colour chat unless in a iC meeting, where only founders and hosts could.

o/

Yes Traf go ahead.

No, just wanted to stay away from idle.

-.-

On a serious note, perhaps i would suggest that you might include on ways to stay away from idle when attending the meetings. Above is a bad example of it as it is disruptive along with those who likes to space and enter chat during meeting to stay awake.

Here's what i think is tolerable to stay awake:

1) Whisper to the person beside you, and press space followed by enter

2) Simply click 1 tile behind your chair and sit down.

I suggest also using _b to do a thumbs up to stay awake would also be acceptable?

Okay so. After taking in all the feedback, i have made some tweeks to the policy. Opinions please!

Meeting Rules

Meetings will never run properly without rules to ensure maximum efficiency. These rules must be followed by all <SS> members at all times while in a meeting in the Meeting Room. If you are found breaking these rules you may have your badge removed, be demoted or in serious cases terminated from the Secret Service altogether. Please be aware that EST (Eastern Standard Time) is our preferred time zone. And you must use it! You must also give a weeks notice on your meeting. Otherwise it will be cancelled!

Requirements to host and/or be in a meeting:

You must be HR+ to receive the Meeting Room badge and attend meetings unless approved by a Co-Owner+
MoD's can hold a meeting, having an iC member as their Co-Host.
You MUST BE Presidential (4iC)+ to hold a meeting by yourself.

Host rules/powers:

The minimum rank you must be to attend a current meeting may be raised by the host and must be respected by all <SS> members. (Lowest rank will be HR)
The host of the meeting is the single most person in-charge of the meeting.
There may only be a maximum of one host in the meeting. (If you require more than one host, talk to a foundation member)
There may be a co-host to assist the host if it's required (ONE!)
The host and Co-Host are the only two people that may use colour chat. (Optional)
The host of the meeting starts and ends the meeting. (This may change if a Foundation member requires so)
The host of the meeting chooses who may speak.

General meeting rules:

You must be silent at all times during the meeting unless you are permitted to speak by the host. To stay active either wave “o/” or use “_b” this is to prevent the interrupting of the host.
If you wish to speak you must not use ALL CAPS or colour chat.
Only one member is to be speaking in the meeting at a time.
If you wish to have your say in the meeting, send a whisper to the host or just wave constantly.
Show respect to all attending members.
A report (Feedback) MUST be made. A format will be created at a later date.

Sanctions for breaking the MRP (Meeting room Policy)

Strike 1) A Room Moderator will whisper you with a verbal warning, you will be kicked once the message has been given.
Strike 2) You will be muted by a room Moderator and demoted depending on the disruption of your actions

Strike 3) You will be removed from the meeting, demoted
