One member was sent to the HCI this week: Mirei Seppen. Most times when you insult the FC and/or XO to his face, he will remove you without a trial. Ronin requested that Mirei be charged and put on trial in the HCI. I investigated and sent Mirei to the High Court of Inquisitors. About the normal amount of complaints were received this week. I'm still noticing that you should try the chain of command first. Normally your direct superior, or SGCOM/FO can handle things in a more timely fashion than I can. If after trying the chain of command, you are not satisfied, then contact me. There are cases where using the chain of command is not helpful. It is for severe offenses. (This would include hacking on someone else's computer, abusing power, sabotage, consorting with an expelled member, or repeated minor offenses). Each complaint is different, so it is hard to generalize on what are major or minor offenses. Try to use your best judgment. I also like to remind those who send complaints that my staff consists of 3 members (not including me). We cannot monitor IRC and the Message Boards at all times. Hopefully on IRC there are channel operators who are active in the channel at the time to enforce Codes of Conduct. If there aren't any active channel operators, then be sure to log the incident and inform me (or your superior officer). Remember to keep on updating your anti-virus programs and scanning on a regular basis. I continue to receive mail that is the result of the Klez virus or similar worm viruses. A note to members: If you receive an e-mail from a @emperorshammer.org e-mail address and are not sure about the file attachment, DO NOT OPEN IT! People are sending viruses (mostly unknowingly) using those e-mail addresses in the "From:" field. Be sure to view all message headers and send that information to the Internet Officer, FA Ari (io@emperorshammer.org). I always investigate complaints and evidence to make sure that people aren't being accused of violations simply because the accusing member does not like the accused member. If I find someone doing this, you will be in BIG trouble--we're talking a chance of severe punishment/banishment. I cannot stand to see blackmail, intimidation, or abuse of power. It makes the EH a worse place to be for the members and alters the perception of the club. Remember, we are here to have fun. Those members who have their fun making other member's lives like crap will face their punishment.
