Code of Conduct

Introduction

The Secret Intelligence Agency (SIA) Code of Conduct establishes standard operational guidelines and ethical principles to ensure a secure, structured, and fair environment for all personnel.

These guidelines apply universally to all employees regardless of rank, position, or division — from new Agents to Foundation Leadership.

Individual Rights & Human Rights Definitions

Every SIA employee is inherently endowed with basic human rights, dignity, and operational protections. Any employee found violating another individual's basic rights will face severe disciplinary action and/or immediate termination.

• 01
  Equality & Non-Discrimination. All members are born free and equal in dignity. Every employee is entitled to all rights set forth in this document without discrimination based on real-life identity, race, nationality, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
• 02
  Right to Privacy. Every employee has the right to keep their private real life separate from their virtual life. Meaningless interference into an employee's personal life is strictly prohibited. Segregating home life and virtual agency life is at the sole discretion of the individual.
• 03
  Freedom of Opinion & Expression. Members have the right to express personal opinions freely, provided their speech does not violate SIA regulations, the Habbo Way, public lobby standards, or the basic rights of others.
• 04
  Right to Rest & Fair Hours (LOA). Employees are entitled to reasonable limitations on working hours, periodic rest breaks, and formal Leave of Absence (LOA) options.

  Right to Fair Trial & Protection. All employees are entitled to a fair, unbiased trial and administrative process. Everyone is treated equally under agency regulations and protected against arbitrary or unjustified reprimands.
• 06
  Right to Education & Training. Every employee has the right to professional advancement and guidance by receiving official training sessions across all operational levels (Recruit, Security, Trainer, High Rank, and Management).
• 07
  Right to Equal Pay. Personnel are entitled to fair and equal pay without discrimination. Pay-bans or payment forfeitures may only be applied with valid administrative cause, and employees retain the right to appeal pay restrictions.

  Actions logged without valid proof fitting these parameters are void.
