14. Community Member Removal Procedure: Punks are defined as those who are actively participating in an active game Charter an/or an officer within an active game Charter, and have been voted into their game Charter as a member. A member can be removed by a Charter officer vote. To be removed from an active game Charter, a 75% majority vote is required of the Charter officer vote. There is a 72-hour vote window, and a temporary isolation of the offender in question can be applied to prevent toxicity within the community. Calling for the removal of a member of the community is serious, and it requires that the member must have broken a cited rule(s) of the Community Rulebook or Charter By-law. Only Yes or No votes by the Charter officers are considered and apply.
