Discipline and Sanctions

Should there be occasion for CLC staff to intervene to prevent antisocial behavior or potential damage to the integrity of the network and systems, the following procedure will be used:

• Staff will, in the first instance, ask politely for behaviour to be modified so that the rules are followed.
• If the behaviour continues or a second instance of rule breaking follows, the user will be asked to leave the CLC for the rest of the day or, if it is in the afternoon, for the following day too.
• If rules are broken persistently then membership of the CLC will be suspended for a week. Suspension will result in the user's ID and password being withdrawn for that period. This decision is at the CLC manager's discretion.
• If after a suspension a user continues to break the rules then membership may be withdrawn permanently. This decision is at the CLC manager's discretion.
• Any user has the right to appeal against such a ban to the CLC Management Board. The ban will remain in force at least until the appeal is heard.

A major infringement of the rules or violent behaviour will result in immediate suspension from the CLC.
