Conflict of Interest Policy: Proposed changes and expansion over policy
Conflict of interest means when the K.S.I™s interest in securing objective performance of instructional, evaluative, supervisory, or other responsibilities, conflicts with the personal interest, in the outcome, of the individual carrying out such responsibilities. Such conflicts of interest arise when an member is involved in a sexual or romantic relationship with a student or another K.S.I. member whom s/he supervises, teaches or evaluates; when an member lives with another member or student whom s/he supervises, teaches or evaluates, whether or not those individuals are involved in a sexual or romantic relationship; or when an member is involved in any relationship with another member or student whom s/he supervises, teaches or evaluates, such that the K.S.I™s interest in securing objective performance of instructional, evaluative, supervisory, or other responsibilities conflicts with the personal interest, in the outcome, of the individual carrying out such responsibilities.

Breakdown for simple explanation for Conflicts of interest policy examples in KSI. (these are not the only examples, just the most occurring)
=============================
Dating and the fallout that can occur:
disclaimer: KSI DOES NOT condone relationships between its members regardless of age-/-rank.
Section 1: Holding rank over a partner-/-spouse.
This one is simple If you or your partner hold rank over one another, then the higher ranked person has Zero input on: promotions, demotions, disciplinary actions relating to that individual will be handled by another leader at all times.
Why? : Prevents people claiming favoritism and pulling the card of "you two are dating so you clearly promoted them because of that" or "they got away with that because you are dating" Because sometimes people are just jealous morons because you have something-/-somebody they want so they will be determined to exploit any kind of relationship to cause issues to case discord and aggravation between members. Rumors will always be believed by the ignorant without proof which is why its always problematic once rumors begin.
==
On the subject of Dating and age related issues:
IF it is found that a minor (under the age of 18) is in any kind of intimate relationship *adult content included* with somebody in ksi above and under the age of 18 then those individuals will be removed from KSI since we will not tolerate this course of action.
==
Section 2: Relationships ending
Breakups can be rough and often one of the members of the ended relationship doesn't take the ending well and makes it their personal mission to screw that individual over using any means they can manage from false information to getting friends involved to cause problems for one or both parties to have one play the victim.
why: falls down to people using shared personal information ranging from phone numbers, messages and intimate details both parties could have shared and leaking them to the public to "**** shame" one of them to decimate them in the eyes of their friends and members, which will see both parties disciplined ranking from rank suspensions to removal from KSI for their conduct and actions.
================================
================================
Family-/-family member interactions: part 1
- Family members MUST be declared and listed to division leadership when in same squad and division.
If a member of KSI and they are in either the same squad or division and hold rank and that rank carries the potential to be abused to either hinder or speed up the progress of one of them. Family members are usually split up into different squads and potentially a different division if it becomes an issue early on.
==
Family member-/-disciplinary-/-promotions: part 2
If you hold rank under or over a family member, then they cannot be involved with the investigation issues, promotions, demotions and disciplinary actions regarding you or them.
- Extreme example: Brother gets on sisters account for the purpose of trolling dudes, aka cat-fishing.
Why? : family members fight siblings especially will screw with each other or other people if they have access to each others account and all members are held accountable for any message sent out from their gamertag and squad tag and other media.
- General result: members are split up into either different Squads or Divisions if it becomes a issue.

Interactions with other communities:
KSI being such a large presence on xbox live along with other communities means there is going to be friction. Any member found to be purposely causing issues and discord to start trouble between communities will face anything ranging from Rank suspension to anything up to and including Removal from KSI.
