If a guild member is being abusive, discriminating or participating in conduct unbecoming of a representative of the guild, please report the offense in question to your Guild Officers. This guild will not tolerate flaming, discrimination based on sex, politics, religion, racism, or excessive use of foul language. If the member is an Officer of the guild then report it to the Guild Leader. We are all adults here, and we need to act accordingly.

• All members will be treated equally. From the guild leader to the newest recruit, all members are to be treated with tolerance and respect.
• Behave with maturity. Being friendly and polite keeps the game fun for everyone.
• The in-game guild and alliance chat systems are not to be used for trade spamming. Please use our forum for trading amongst fellow guild members.
• You must represent your guild respectfully at all times. This means you resolve any issues with outside players directly and do your utmost best to resolve it peacefully and with dignity.
• Members are encouraged to discuss any issues on the guild forum and to join in the discussions that arise.
• Members are highly encouraged to help other guild members and in-game players. Players that have the time to help should offer to do so. Participation and communication will be rewarded.

Exploitation & Begging

The guild does not tolerate needy or freeloading behavior. Exploitation of guild members or other in-game players is not permitted. We are an open guild who welcomes the opportunity to help out its own members and the game community. It is an acceptable practice to ask for donations for services rendered.

Do not ask for items (materials, money, weapons, etc) that you are not prepared to purchase. We like to help our members, but we’re not just going to hand them everything on a silver platter. Do offer to give away items if you can afford it.

Cheats, Hacks, and Third-Party Programs

The use of cheats, hacks, or 3rd Party programs not sanctioned by a game’s publisher are not permitted. If you are found to be in violation of this policy, you will be reported to game support and removed from the guild and all its assets without notification.

Login Status

All members who go inactive from the game for more than the allotted period, may be removed from the guild without notice. A written communication must be provided to the Officers of the guild for an exemption to be granted.

• Guild Wars – Currently there are no inactive warnings.

Participation

All guild members are encouraged to take an active participation within the guild. This includes in-game and website participation. The guild realizes that different members have different amounts of time to devote to the game and to the Guild. Therefore, amounts of participation are expected to vary Member to Member. All that is asked for with participation is that you show that you care about the guild.

Harassment

No bigotry, flaming, baiting, or trolling is permitted. These actions are disrespectful to others and disruptive to the overall health of the guild. Any problems with fellow guild members should be brought to the attention of an Officer so that issues may be resolved in a reasonable fashion.

Loot and Item Drop Distribution

Loot and drop distribution will be on an as needed basis. If someone needs a drop for their character, then that person gets it. If more than one member is present and in need of a drop, then the qualified members are to roll for it.

If a member is still within the two week probation period, that member is not permitted to try for a drop if other vetted members need it. If only the new member claims the drop, then that member may have it. In the event that no claim is made on a particular drop, it shall be placed in Marked Souls storage.

Crafting

Members are not to charge teammates for items or crafted gear. Crafters may require the requesting member to obtain the proper resources needed for requested gear if the materials are not available in the guild bank.

Disciplinary Actions

The following are the penalties for violating the Code of Conduct and/or the Charter.

• Any reported violations of the Code of Conduct or the rest of the Guild Charter will result in penalties.
• Warning: A warning may be issued to a member if that member is found to be in violation before an Offense is registered, at the Officer’s discretion. If a Warning is issued the Officer will attempt to resolve the issue by discussing it with that member and directing them to the Charter to make sure that the member is familiar with the Charter. The Officer will also post a notice of the warning in the Officers forum for further review.
• First Offense: Members who violate the Charter will receive a strike on their record. The Officer will also post the offense in the Officers forums for further review.
• Second Offense: Members who have received a first offense and continue to violate the Charter will receive a second strike on their record. The Officer will also post the offense in the Officers forums for further review.
• Third Offense: Members who have received a second offense and continue to violate the conduct code will be removed from the guild, website, and Vent server. The member will be permanently banned from the guild.
