At Neon Anarchy, we are establishing Guidelines documents to help ensure a safe and transparent environment for all who join our mission to build and maintain a sustainable Living Community.

The purpose of this Guidelines document is to help mediate expectations for the daily operations, core values, and overall culture around the InterPersonal Department.

These Guidelines are subject to modification from time to time by the Council.

The Quick Version

Members of IP team are expected to encourage and strategize around inclusivity and [good vibez] as a means of augmenting the resiliency of our Community. Furthermore, background diversity is celebrated and is necessary for a healthy environment. As a group of individuals expected to act together to achieve the above mission, all members and participants must act with their fullest integrity to ensure our collective integrity.

The Less Quick Version

Role

Furthermore:

• IP should be advocates for the members and a friendly face. They are meant to represent and present the perspective of the players that often the mods fail to see.
• IPs purpose is not to moderate the mods but act as lawyers for the community.
• If mods are the public prosecutor. IP is the defending lawyer and Admin the judge
• The only reason IP is placed above Moderation is so that IP can maintain confidentiality and cannot be subjected to moderation for simply doing their job. However, that doesn't give IP any power whatsoever over Moderation.
• Unless it's specifically involved resolving an ongoing conflict, IP are neither investigators nor prosecutors.
