Organization
The Star Trek Simulation Forum organizational structure has remained virtually unchanged since its conception. Several different levels of users exist. The first level consists of general users who participate in games called Academy Sims. These are considered part of the training and educational program to teach new players how to properly participate in the forum. Missions are usually short and have a duration of one hour. The second level is designed for the graduates of the primary level. These individuals participate in more complex and longer Advanced Sims.
All games are run by individuals called game masters (GMs). These individuals often hold the most senior management positions of all sims in operation. The top level of the organization is called the GM Council, a group of seven individuals who act as the controlling body of STSF. Led by the Forum Leader and Assistant Forum Leader, it includes individuals holding positions managing personnel, training, recruitment, website management and public relations.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
