These are in-character guidelines of things you should do, or you may be fired/demoted. Department SOPs are general guidelines, and may be used as justification for administrative action.. They are also not meant to be followed to the letter, because circumstances and context may permit you to break SOP. However, the fact that SOP is malleable is not an excuse to ignore it entirely. Disputes involving SOP should be handled entirely in-character, and should not require admin intervention unless server rules have also been broken. Department Standard Operating Procedures are ''in addition'' to normal [[Standard Operating Procedure]].
