  • Exception: Asking to come back within 30 days falls under the Grace Period Policy,
• By resigning, you are forfeiting your unit-number in the event you rejoin at a later date.
• By resigning, you are forfeiting all training you had previously.
• If a staff member, by resigning, you are forfeiting your staff position.
• If a subdivision leader, by resigning, you are forfeiting your subdivision to the community.
• If a vehicle donor, by resigning, you are giving rights to TROA to continue to use said vehicle(s) for any length of time Aspirant Gaming deems reasonable.
• By resigning, you are forfeiting any whitelists to special whitelisted servers run for other games.
• By attempting to resign, you are not protected from being converted to a kick and/or ban for your actions taken before or after your resignation that have an impact towards TROA.
• By resigning, you are giving rights for Aspirant Gaming to continue to use any SOPs or documentation you have generated for any length of time TROA deems reasonable.

If you have any questions or concerns about this feel to contact any CoC member.

GRACE PERIOD POLICY

A member who resigned on good terms may use this policy to re-integrate into the community within 30 days of their resignation with the following clauses:

• Your unit-number will be issued brand-new via our system.
• You will retain all main department (LEO/FIRE/DIS/CIV) tags you had when you left.
• Your whitelist will be removed from all servers until:
  1. Refresher training courses are completed on anything changed in those divisions. Unless department heads request a full retrain.
  2. Department Heads can deem this inapplicable for their respective departments.
• Subdivision reentry or re-application is up to each individual subdivision lead based on changes made, space limitations, etc.
• If a year of service badge was earned, you will retain that badge, but your counter for years of service is reset to 0. Ex: If you have two years of service and rejoin – you will start your third year of service on your rejoin date.
• If your previous position was of a Staff level, you will not be reinstated via this policy.
• If you were a previous subdivision leader, you will not be reinstated as its leader.
• If you were a previous donor, your donor status will be reinstated, provided it is still valid from the day you donated.
• Any discipline points obtained while a member will still apply after rejoining.
  1. Active points when you resign will be “paused”, and won’t accrue time until you’re a member again.
• You may only use the grace policy once every 90 days.

Types of Leaves

This document will outline all of the actions that occur based on the type of departure that occurs against a member.

Leaving Without Notification (Bad Terms)

• Your access to Discord*, and our servers is removed.
• You can re-apply 30 days from your leave date.
• You aren’t eligible to use the grace policy.
• Ex: You leave Discord (which forces a resignation) and you don’t notify a staff member beforehand.

Leaving With Notification (Good Terms)

• Your access to Discord*, and our servers is removed.
• You can use the grace policy to return within 30 days -- else you can re-apply as normal starting on day 31.
• Ex: You notify a staff member prior to leaving with your intent to resign and they respond with acceptance.
• Note: Failure to receive a response to your resignation request will result in the leave being marked as Bad Terms.

Community Kick (Bad Terms)

• Your access to Discord*, and our servers is removed.
• You can re-apply 30 days from your leave date.
• If you are kicked for receiving 3 Major Points; you cannot re-apply for 90 days.

• Do note that, if an appeal passes, this does not reinstate you to the community -- it only removes the block preventing you from re-applying.
• Ex: You’re banned from the community for violating a community policy.

Revolving Door Ban

• This ban is placed on any member who enters and exits the community on three occasions except based on certain extenuating circumstances (ex: loss of internet and got kicked for inactivity but had no way to tell anyone).
• You can appeal the ban via the #ban-appeal channel in Discord 7 days after the ban occurs – and once every 3 months thereafter.
• Do note that, if an appeal passes, this does not reinstate you to the community -- it only removes the block preventing you from re-applying.

* Access to Discord refers to access to non-public channels, such as departmental channels, subdivision channels, etc.

** If you have committed an action that results in your ban being extended to Discord as well (removing your ability to appeal normally) -- you must contact a Senior Administrator in order to file your appeal -- which will then take place in the Staff Discord utilizing a temporary invite.
