Code of Conduct – Star Citizen

29 Jun 2025

General

This Code of Conduct is binding for any member of The Fatherhood playing Star Citizen. It may be amended or clarified as needed. If you need clarification on any point in the CoC, please reach out to Wing Command.

  • Always follow Wheaton’s Law of interpersonal relationships, ‘Don’t be a dick”.
  • Be respectful and inclusive
  • Help your fellow org members
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help
  • Always follow Star Citizen’s Terms of Service. (We endeavor to set a good example.)

Combat

  • NO COMBAT LOGGING. In combat, terminating the game, interrupting the game’s network connection, or any other way of disengaging that is forbidden by the game’s ToS, is strictly prohibited.
  • NO GRIEFING. The Star Citizen Fatherhood organization defines griefing as causing another player, their property, or their time, unsolicited harm without it being for self defense or financial gains. Griefing of any kind is prohibited.
  • In the event that someone has a CrimeStat, or registers as “red”, they are fair game just as you would be.
  • Please remember that a new or passive player may register as “red” through no fault of their own and have no intention of doing harm. Should you encounter a law abiding citizen under these conditions, Wheaton’s Law applies.
  • If you have the ability, we highly recommended you record your PVP engagements to protect yourself from false claims of griefing or combat logging.

A note about Piracy vs Griefing

Pirates are after cargo, loot, ships, and/or money. Pointless killing, destruction, or hindering under the guise of piracy is easy to identify, it’s not cool, and it breaks Wheaton’s Law. So don’t do it.

Dual Membership

  • We don’t require The Fatherhood to be the only Org you’re a part of but we do require our members to adhere to The Fatherhood’s CoC whenever in game (or on Spectrum) no matter which Org you’re playing with at the time.
  • We also request that you set The Fatherhood and all other Orgs you are a part of to “Visible” and keep them that way while you are with us. Exceptions will be on a case-by-case basis and discussed with Wing Command.

Fatherhood name and representation

You are free to mark yourself as member of The Fatherhood in various places on the Internet. We kindly ask you to keep up the Fatherhood spirit of being respectful, in any such interaction.

The use of The Fatherhood name in the name of personal servers, channels, pages, etc, is not permitted, without prior approval of Wing Command. Please reach out to us via our Discord.

Disciplinary Actions

  • COMBAT LOGGING: If judged to have combat logged, your first offense will receive a formal, recorded warning. Second offense is an immediate expulsion from the Org.
  • GRIEFING: You will be served a warning on your first offense, and expelled on your second offense.
  • Disruptive / Anti-social behavior, violation of other parts of the CoC: You will be served a warning on your first offense, and expelled on your second offense.
  • Any warning given with a warning already on record may be cause for expulsion.
  • Any member in a leadership position that receives a warning will be subject to demotion back to the ranks.
  • In addition, actions that are cause for immediate removal include: acting for another group considered hostile; making real life threats to any other player; engaging in any illegal behavior (such as DDOS or doxxing).

Particularly egregious violations as well as any actions outside of those listed above will be dealt with on a case by case basis at the discretion of the Wing Council.
