[AUTOPASS] [CODE OF CONDUCT] Adding Mediation to CoC

THIS PROPOSAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AUTOPASS

I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assistant Head Coordinator, hereby propose the following change to the Code of Conduct:

Code of Conduct 1, 4, and 6 Before:

1. Players and volunteers will be courteous, respectful and professional in their out-of-character interactions with each other. If there is a conflict between individuals, they may either seek out a third-party (an ST, CM, or even Exec) for mediation to reconcile their differences or do their best within the confines of OWBN to avoid interactions with each other.

4. Players and volunteers are free to disagree about things, but those disagreements must be handled in a mature and direct fashion. Examples of inappropriate ways of handling disagreements include making derogatory remarks about the other party publicly, using deliberately inflammatory language in discussions and starting rumors about another party's motivations or actions. When conflict is unable to be dealt with respectfully by the involved parties, Exec can and will step in to mediate.

6. Threatening in-character or out-of-character repercussions to another player or volunteer to discourage them from speaking to their ST staff , CM, or the Executive Team regarding their complaints or concerns or inquiries will receive local and/or org-wide disciplinary action for the interference.

Examples of inappropriate ways of handling disagreements include making derogatory remarks about the other party publicly, using deliberately inflammatory language in discussions and starting rumors about another party's motivations or actions. When conflict is unable to be dealt with respectfully by the involved parties, Mediation and Exec can and will step in to mediate.

6. Threatening in-character or out-of-character repercussions to another player or volunteer to discourage them from speaking to their ST staff , CM, Mediation Team, or the Executive Team regarding their complaints or concerns or inquiries will receive local and/or org-wide disciplinary action for the interference.

Reasoning: The Mediation Team exists now and should be included in the Code of Conduct.
