HIA Elective Guidelines
Primarily for the eyes of HIA Elective Team and their personal secretaries.
Rules to Follow as an Elective
As an elective, you will be responsible for following all the rules - including elective rules - within the Code of Conduct. Ignorance is not a plausible excuse for the infraction of rules as an elective.
The following rules must be followed at all times:
As an elective, you are not allowed to be inactive for 5 days straight without a Leave of Absence (LOA) badge. During your LOA, you are required to check in with each of your division members and your assigned Leader to withhold success in your division.
Having Discussions and Resolving Conflicts
With your new responsibilities and front seat to the development of HIA, you will find yourself now directly participating in discussions relating to changes and modifications. With this, you will begin to talk with many more members in order to accomplish your task. It is highly encouraged for all members to express their opinions, but understand that it must be done so in a respectful way.
Try to listen to others and see what they have to say - see why they think this way - and try having a discussion rather than a debate or argument. Being able to just listen and have a sense of compassion and understanding for others will provide many benefits later down the road, both in HIA and real life. It will allow you to be both a better speaker and mediator overall.
Being an elective requires you to maintain and uphold a peaceful and friendly environment where members can enjoy interacting with others. If you see people arguing and getting aggressive with one another, you will be responsible for stopping it. Here are a few quick tips:
There are many people you are able to go to if you are not able to stop an argument. If that is the case, please contact the following groups of people:
You can contact them by sending a personal message on Discord or requesting for someone to help you on any given channel.
Remember, if it is possible, you should not start or be involved in arguments. As an elective, you must set an example. Getting involved without any need to can get you in trouble if it gets too out of hand. If you are having difficulties, please remember to contact another elective member to help defuse the situation.

The following rules must be followed at all times:
- Having a way of verifying your online presence as base, which shall include, but is not limited to portal logs and Discord activity. Time since last login is not recognised as being present at base. Without logs, or any other kind of proof that you've been online, and/or been in base, you will be in danger of being demoted. If there are times where you do not have the opportunity to be sufficient time online, you should apply for a LOA.
- Be professional in clothing, speech and behaviour both in base and on Discord
- Monthly audits are required from every elective (excluding Ownership & ALs = optional) At no time is your PS to do your work without you participating and or assisting in completing said task.
- You must treat all staff (including standard ranks) with the utmost respect.
- As an Elective, you are a role model for all HIA employees, so it is extremely important that you still FTF, FTS, etc. and directly communicate with lower ranks while in base
- Monitor the section of HIA you have been assigned to and act as a mentor if required.
- Follow all rules HIA obliges you to follow (Code of Conduct, etc).
- Keep friend requests turned on in order to be able to be reached by everyone.

- Do not be afraid to hand out warnings if it gets out of control.
- Recommend the people arguing to place each other on “Ignore” if it is happening on Habbo or to simply ignore each other if it is happening on Discord.
- If people are having an argument on a public Discord chat, kindly tell them to take it to the DMs (direct messages).
