filler text for basic description

The “Beautification Squad” shall be of Council members exclusively who elect themselves to the position.

1. Each member of the Beautification Squad shall be entitled to handle interpersonal disputes within the LGBT+ Room's moderation team; so long as there is not a conflict of interest.
2. If such conflict of interest arises and an interpersonal dispute is raised to a member of the Beautification Squad, the member shall reach out to the overall squad to find a person to take place in their stead. This is not negotiable, and compulsory.
   1. A conflict of interest: any such affiliations that can be perceived as either good or bad, as in relation to either moderation members, and the appearance of impropriety.
   2. If all members of the Beautification Squad have a conflict of interest, then a neutral witness (who shall neither speak nor comment) shall listen in and be asked questions should the encounter need to be reviewed.
3. The Beautification Squad may impose disciplinary matters: verbal warnings, written warnings, demotion of rank, soft temporary suspension, hard temporary suspension, expulsion, or blacklist.
   1. Definitions of discipline.
      Verbal Warning: an undocumented warning to correct an action or behavior;
      Written Warning: a documented warning to correct an action or behavior;
      Demotion of Rank: the assignment of a rank following the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman seniority system;
      Soft Temporary Suspension: (no greater than two weeks) a suspension without removing the moderation team tole in Politics;

      Expulsion: removal from the moderation team for at least four months;
      Blacklist: permanent removal from the moderation team with no possibility of rejoining.
   2. The Beautification Squad may impose these disciplinary matters by a member of the squad bringing proceedings before the entire Beautification Squad. The squad shall hold an impromptu meeting to discuss the matter, and invite the subject moderation team member to defend themselves against evidence presented against them. The Beautification Squad shall always strive for remediation and shall use the least harsh disciplinary action possible to correct such behavior. The Beautification Squad shall confirm disciplinary action by a simple majority of present squad members.
   3. If such disciplinary action is a hard temporary suspension, or harsher disciplinary action, then confirmation of disciplinary action shall be put to a vote to the greater LGBT+ Moderation Team; leaving out material knowledge, besides what general behavior was observed. This vote shall run for forty eight hours; and shall be approved by a super majority (2/3rds) approval for the disciplinary action.
   4. Evidence used during a disciplinary hearing shall be hard evidence; consisting of: video proof, screenshots or images, or at least two witnesses.
4. All matters before the Beautification Squad shall be treated as confidential and prviate. Discussing of materials or material knowledge outside of need-to-know parties, or parties who already know, are grounds for removal by the Head Master from the Beautification Squad.
