SOA Guild Rules
To live by
Do you want rules? I mean, do you really? Of course you don't. Take these more as guidelines for what a nice person playing WOW in our guild should do. A few little tips to help people in the guild enjoy their gaming experience a little more.
RightsAs a member you are entitled to the full benefits of the guild. This includes, but is not limited to: participation in guild events, website, the use of guildchat in-game, the use of our Ventrilo server for you and your friends for WoW and other activities.
You have the right to speak freely about your concerns and ideas to an officer, on ventrilo (some restrictions apply here, see below).
You have the right to information from the officers/assists and guild leader. They are obliged to answer all of your questions truthfully.
You have the right to request assistance from guild mates in your adventures. You are at the same time strongly encouraged to help your guild mates when needed, but not required to be at everyone's beck and call.
You are entitled to be treated fairly, equally and with respect at all times. You are bound to treat others in the guild in the same manner.
You have the right to request a change in guild policy, rules or anything else related to the guild. To do so simply contact and officer or the guild leader.
Behavior
As a member of Seeds of Aldrassil you will be kind and courteous to all players in the game. You will not spam, insult, flame or bad mouth players, GMs or chat channels, or do anything that reflects negatively upon the reputation of the guild or its members.
Discrimination or slander based on race, gender, religion, sexual preference or anything that is not accepted in real life, will not be tolerated. Punishment will be swift and severe.
You will not harass, beg or complain to get people for your group, about being power leveled, teleported, resurrected, given loot, get enchants or items crafted. These things are not your rights, but your privileges. If a member or the guild decides to help you in this way, that is that member's decision. You cannot demand it from your guild mates.
Guild chat may at times get rude and you are asked to have a thick skin and not to take offense at things that are meant as a joke. However, cruel comments and sexual harassment to another player will not be tolerated. This will be punishable by either a warning, guild rank demotion, or removal from the guild.
Guild chat - Please disable all addons that are to be used in guild chat. These include any addons that make announcements. These addons eat up the guild chat when multiple people have them on and it interferes with conversation. If you're to lazy to type it then it must not be important.
If you have any issues with other members of the guild, or other players, you will discuss those problems with the other person first. Do not bring issues to the officers unless you absolutely require mediation. We are all adults(some children) here and it is the belief of this guild that we can handle our own disagreements.
If an issue arises that cannot be resolved, you will act in a dignified manner and allow the leadership of the guild to hand out any reprimands if required.
Most importantly the guild is designed to enhance the enjoyment of the game for you and everyone that plays it. Do not cause undue stress or be disruptive within the guild for your own pleasure. Do not ruin the paid playtime of others.
Leadership
The guild has a Guild Master, currently Auzou. He has complete authority, but is required to listen to every officer before making important decisions. The officers have the role of advisor to the guild master, and to help out in daily tasks. Officers can demote rank, and their opinion of you can be a deciding factor in you continuing to be a guild member with us.
The tasks of the guild master and officers include (but is not limited to):
- Recruitment
- Moderating guild, party, and ventrilo chat channels
- Communication between members and guild masters
- Mediation in case of a dispute between members
Keep it PG13 guys!
