🧑‍⚖️Disciplinary Process

The DKS Board is tasked with upholding the standards discussed in the Commonwealth community guidelines. This dedicated group holds the authority within the Commonwealth to establish precedent, issue guidance and deliver feedback, as necessary, to any members who find themselves standing outside the perimeter established by the community guidelines.

The DKS Board’s perspective on disciplinary guidance is rooted in fairness and responsibility to all members and does not seek to be overly punitive in nature. A Yellow & Red card approach will be applied to any member who becomes subject to disciplinary discussions to ensure opportunity for redemption.

Formal Warning: Should a member's actions stray from our guidelines, a formal warning will be issued. The aim is not to punish but serve as a constructive reminder to realign with the community guidelines. In cases of particularly egregious behavior, the DKS Board may vote to issue a red card. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Deliberately sharing harmful links in Discord.

• Engaging in malicious harassment of other members.

• Intentionally exploiting the DKS brand and community members for rug-pulling a project.

Yellow Card: A yellow card will be issued should a member repeat a prior infraction or instigate a subsequent new offense against the community guidelines. A more candid conversation will be convened between the member and the Board to discuss expectations of the community member going forward to avoid repeating past mistakes or cause any further disruption to the Commonwealth. A possible outcome of this discussion could be a probationary period for the member.

Red Card: After receiving a yellow card, any subsequent offenses committed by the member in question will be met with a full Board review to determine the member’s future eligibility to remain in the Commonwealth. This red card is seen as a last resort option to be decided by a majority Board vote only after careful deliberation between the Board and the member. Upholding the integrity of our community is of paramount importance and will be protected with deepest commitment by the Board. Any members who have their access privileges withdrawn will have the opportunity to sell their DKS NFT on the open market, respecting their NFT ownership rights.

This card policy is our commitment to maintaining a harmonious, respectful and thriving community, balancing firmness with fairness.
