Policy

IPlay Tech Staff Policy

Basic principle here is that we expect, and will demand no less, that all IPlay staff members will show respect to players and each other at all times. Personal issues between staff and players, or between staff members, are to be left at the door. Staff members at IPlay are not above policy and will follow the same rules as players.

Techs are opped at a global level 4. If you currently hold a staff position in another IPlay department and are opped at a higher level, you will maintain that higher level in that department. Techs will not interfere in any way with hospitality, tourney, or ranking matters. At no time will you kick or mute in any lobby unless asked to do so by IPlay administration.

You may kick or mute in the IPlay Tech Support Chat for persistent swearing or for abuse of staff. Occasional swearing should be overlooked. This is a tech chat, people with tech problems are not always very happy, and it's not in the main IPlay site. If you do have to mute or kick, make sure to get a screen shot of the incident and give to your assistant or senior staff member.

Hardware solutions to technical problems are not acceptable solutions unless approved by department Senior or Administration.

Sending unsolicted pictures, messages, or e-mail of a sexual nature will be grounds for removal from staff.

Op messages are for IPlay business only. They are not to be used for chat among staff members, or to degrade a player.

You are expected to attend all IPlay tech meetings. If you have an unavoidable conflict, you are expected to notify an assistant or senior tech before the meeting, and to make arrangements to receive a log of the meeting. Consistent absence at meetings will be grounds for removal from IPlay tech staff.

It is expected that all members of IPlay staff will treat each other with respect. Any staff member who is found to have been sending messages or discussing another IPlay staff member in a derogatory manner is subject to being permanently removed from staff.

Each member of the IPlay staff will be expected to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and return the signed NDA to IPlay administration at the address given. Any staff member found to have violated the NDA will be permanently removed from the IPlay staff.

If you have a problem with a player or with another member of IPlay staff, report it to the assistant or senior in your department. If you do not feel the problem has been handled to your satisfaction, you can ask your senior to schedule a meeting with IPlay administration to discuss the matter. Do NOT go directly to administration. Anyone who e-mails or contact IPlay owners Dave or Drew regarding an IPlay staff matter will be subject to being permanently de-opped.

Any staff member who submits notification of resignation to IPlay Administration shall be immediately and without question removed from the IPlay staff. Resignations submitted by electronic mail (E-Mail), ICQ, MSN, or any other form of communication shall be considered to be official notification. Any staff member who resigns will not be eligible to be considered for a position on IPlay staff for a period of not less than six months after resignation.
