When is a Standard Operating Procedure violation an OOC issue?

Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) violations are primarily an in-character issue. Situations where they become OOC issues usually involve the violation of server rules 1 or 2, where a player has created a large impact on one or multiple other players; or where a player is violating the Standard Operating Procedures in a manner that constitutes metagrudging.

Another situation where violation of the Standard Operating Procedures may be considered an OOC issue is if a player has a persistent history of violating the Standard Operating Procedures in a manner that creates an unenjoyable environment for other players.

You may choose to AdminHelp Standard Operating Procedure violations if you believe that a player is violating the Standard Operating Procedures under the above circumstances; however, your ticket may be deemed an in-character issue if the player is violating the Standard Operating Procedures in any other manner.
