Guild rules


The following guild rules may at first glance seem quite stern and restrictive,
we are in fact a very social guild that enjoys a little raiding on the side.
The only thing we expect of our members is that they are friendly and follow the
rules. In return you can expect to be able to play the game in a relaxed and
friendly environment. If you require help or advice and dont want to ask in /guild
then please /w an officer, co-gm or gm and we will help if we can.

1. You should respect your fellow members and all players outside of the guild.
any action that is liable to bring the guild into disrepute will not be tolerated.

2. Discrimination, bullying, harassment or abuse of other players will not be
tolerated. Do not use derogatory or racist terms. We do not tolerate racial epithets,
defamation of sexual preference, gender, religious beliefs or discrimination of any
sort.

3. Members wishing to participate in runs with the guild are expected to have a
basic knowledge of how to play their character and to be gemmed/reforged accordingly.
Help will be given to anyone that requests it.

4. No begging, You're welcome to ask nicely for any sort of help you require, but
do not beg or spam any chat with requests. If you are told "no" then accept that
and move on.

5. Invites to any event should not be regarded as guaranteed for any member.
In addition you may be asked to switch to another role if required and if
you have already got experience of that role. These requests if not complied with
may mean that any invite to an event and/or any future event is withdrawn.

6. If you have signed up for a guild event try to be online on time.
Remember other players have to wait for you. If you are liable to be late then
please advise someone of this. If you lose a group spot/role because you are late
then you have no comeback.

7. No excessive swearing. Recognize that you are in a public space and that repeated
swearing isn't necessary to get your point across. Also try to keep it clean in any
public chat channels, whilst we are an adult guild primarily, there may be occasions
when minors are invited to the guild and may be online.

8. We operate on a three strikes policy. You'll get two warnings and then you will
get no warning and be expelled. We reserve the right to immediately expel a member
for taking extreme actions against the spirit of our values and regulations. Only
Co-Gm's and the Gm can remove players from the guild, however, official warnings can
be issued by members who are officer rank and above.

9. Members who are not online for three months will be demoted to inactive rank and
members who are inactive rank for six months will be removed from the guild. This will
be administered by co-gm rank and above. Special circumstances may be taken into
account, please inform an officer or co-gm if you are planning on taking an extended
break from the game.

10. Guild ranks are as follows:

Recruit: New member to the guild.

officer rank or above deem to be a suitable match for our guild.

adhered to and will keep the gm ranks informed of any rule infractions and of any
official warnings issued.

Co-Gm: Acts in direct consultation with the Gm and other Co-Gm's, works to provide
leadership and promote community development. This rank will only be granted in
exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Gm.
