Incident Report Rules and Format - Last Update - READ BEFORE POSTING

[UnknownMurder]

Incident Report Rules

• Incident Reports must strictly be in IC format. This is not an OOC complaint section. To file an OOC complaint see the Character/Player Complaints board.
• Incident Reports must be made using the format provided below.
• Incident Reports may only be submitted against regular station characters.
• Incident Reports may not be submitted against antagonists or situations heavily regulated by antag action.
• Events that occurred during expeditions in-round are considered to be covered by antagonist-related rules.
• Antagonists may not submit Incident Reports.
• You are expected to try and find a resolution to situations in the round within the chain of command. You may seek further action on unresolved issues via an IR. Attach what investigation findings you can in the additional info section. Making no effort to resolve an issue may cause the incident report to be closed without investigation unless a very good reason is specified.
• Incident Reports are not public record, only the filer or any people who are directly given information about an IR are allowed to speak about them ICly.
• If you have a question regarding the Incident Report you wish to file, you may contact any CCIA team member or liaison.
• A report will be dealt with when feasible, do not bump the IR threads or post unnecessarily on them, even if they are unlocked.
• You are not allowed to lie to defend others. You can only lie to defend yourself. If you want to help others, you are allowed to refuse to comment. This also applies to the investigation process.

Investigation Guidelines

• Filing a report does not guarantee action will be taken. Your report will be noted and stored for reference purposes.
• If an investigation is opened, your own conduct will be investigated right along with everyone else's. An incident is treated as a single event from all perspectives, so there is no need to submit a report regarding the same event that was reported by another player. If you are not the reporter of an incident and have more information to add to a report, you may do so when you meet with CCIA.
• When an incident report has been taken by a CCIA agent, the contacted parties will be given seven (7) days to respond to any contact attempts from the agent, otherwise their interview will be waived. A time extension may be requested if it is required, however, it should remain reasonable.
• If you submit an incident report, you are expected to participate in the process. Failure to respond to a CCIA notice of investigation within a week after an agent takes your report may mean that the report gets thrown out.
• Requesting extensions for unavailability and then frequently playing in rounds during the 'unavailability' may be considered evading CCIA action and spark additional punishments.
• Interviews may be conducted on server aboard the NSS Aurora, NTCC Odin, or through discord should circumstances make an on server interview difficult.
• Antagonists are expected to leave an agent's interview un-interrupted. Antags may only target an agent during the period after an interview has been completed.
• If you end up as an antag while escorting an agent, either ahelp it or tell the CCIA in LOOC to excuse yourself from being an escort if this will significantly interrupt you.
• Anyone violating an action resulting from an Incident Report will be subject to administrative action.
