[1.1] Probationary Committee Member (PCM) | Level-2
As new members of the Committee, Probationary Committee Members are in a phase
where they are being monitored by the department’s High-Command. During this phase,
members are evaluated by their overall activity and maturity on-site and on Discord, the
ability to complete their quotas, and performance during weekly
tasks. This phase will last at least two weeks if each member completes their quota and
proves to be worthy members of the Committee. Failure to provide sufficient activity
and/or receiving two strikes during this time period will result in expungement from the
Ethics Committee.

You may also slightly alter the decoration of the format, such as adding bolding, underscores, or
italics, etc. as long as the basic format above is maintained.)
Probationary Committee Members may spectate any test within the Light
Containment Zone as long as the SCP is Level-2 or below. They may not spectate any
MD tests nor check-ups that involve any SCP within the Medical Bay or Containment
Zones.
Committee Members may spectate any test within the Light or Moderate
Containment Zones as long as no Level-4 or HCZ SCPs are involved. They may also
spectate any MD test or check-up that follow the aforementioned rule.
Senior Committee Members may spectate tests within the Light, Medium, or
Heavy Containment Zones as long as no Level-4 SCPs are involved.
Board of Regulations may spectate any test or check-up within the Medical Bay
or Light, Medium, Heavy, and Biological Containment Zones as long as no Level-4
SCPs are involved. Only the Editor may grant permission to spectate tests on Level-4
SCPs. Supervision is required by either the Editor or an O5 Councillor.
When approving tests that require permission by a Committee Member (i.e 310),
it is best to ask the researcher their test question and the amount of Class-D they are
using. From there you may decide whether or not the test is ethical. If is not, you may
suggest methods to alter the test to ensure that it meets ethical standards.

In order to aid Committee Members with writing reports, interrogations may be hosted,
questioning either the alleged violator(s) or victim(s) of the situation. To host an
interrogation, at least one Alpha-1 Operative must be present to escort the personnel in
question into the Interrogation Room. Interrogation reports are not required, although
you should record a video to provide as evidence for your unethical report. Refer to
#interrogation-guidelines for more instructions on how to conduct an interrogation.
[3.2] Strikes
Strikes are to be issued to members that fail to complete their weekly quotas or act
inappropriately and/or break regulations while on-site or in front of any other member
outside of the department. Two strikes result result in a demotion within the department.
Any member earning three strikes will be fired from the Ethics Committee. Strikes expire
after four months.

No member of the Committee may freely enter or wander the Containment Zones
unless they are spectating a test or a member of the Mobile Task Forces requests for
you to follow them. If an unauthorized personnel wanders into the Containment Zones,
you may enter and instruct them to leave the zones, as long as the violator is not in the
Heavy Containment Zone. Any non-complying personnel are to be reported to the
Mobile Task Forces to be escorted out or terminated.

Although all Committee Members have access to view this channel, only Board of
Regulations and above may utilize this channel. Members of the Board of Regulations
may add a note to a user’s profile when a punishment is administered by using the

Ethics Committee || Guidelines. -This channel
Documente Googleis primarily for
Level-4’s to ban, warn, check a personnel’s information, and add notes to a personnel’s
profile. If a Committee Member requires a profile check to be executed on a personnel
in order to suggest a punishment, they are to directly ask the Editor.
[6.3] Interviews
Interviewing personnel privately or through public sessions are the only way for the
Committee to gain new members. Regular personnel may earn a private interview if
they are suggested through the text channel #member-recommendations. If the High
Command deems a recommended personnel worthy, then they shall be interviewed by
a Board of Regulations+. Public interviews, on the other hand, are hosted once the
department is in need of new members. Senior Committee Member+ may interview
[6.4] Promotions
Earning promotions within the Ethics Committee has never been directly defined, and
that is due to the small member capacity of the department and limit for each rank.
Promotions are awarded to those who have provided adequate activity and exceptional
diligence within the Committee. Filling each position with extraordinary and
high-performing members is an important duty and must not be undermined, nor shall
any member’s capabilities or diligence be overlooked.
**This list may be updated at any given moment, so it is important to stay in tune with it.
[7] Conclusion
Although the department consists of only a few members, the Ethics Committee
provides itself to be crucial to the Foundation’s operations and duties, and without it,
chaos could ensue and violators could commit immoral and unethical actions with no
justifiable punishment. Should any Committee Member have any further questions,
they are to be directed to the department’s High Command.
