Divine's
Code of Conduct:
- Killstealing, ninja looting, unauthorized corpse
looting, or any other kind of unethical behavior will NOT be tolerated
under ANY circumstances. If you are accused of any of these types of
behavior an officer will contact you for your side of the story. If the
officer determines to his/her own satisfaction that you were involved in
any of these unsavory acts, you will be removed from the guild.
-
- The open and flagrant use of profanity or the
discussion of inappropriate subject matter will not be allowed in
guildsay. Some examples of inappropriate subject matter are vivid sexual
descriptions, hatemongering directed at any social or ethnic group, etc.
Basically, consider guildsay to be rated PG-13. There are certain
situations where profanity will slip out and that is perfectly
understandable. The spirit of this rule is to prevent habitual use of
inappropriate language or subject matter. If you do present yourself in
a manner contrary to the spirit of this rule, you will receive three
warnings. After the third warning you will be removed if the behavior
again presents itself.
-
- Open criticism of an individual member, arguing
and bickering, and saying things for the sole purpose of stirring up
trouble in guildsay will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with a
particular person then take it up with that person on a one-on-one
basis. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, ask an officer to
mediate for you. If you insist on using guildsay as a medium to
perpetuate an argument with someone you will receive a tell from an
officer asking you to take it to tells or a chat room. This request will
come when an officer believes the discussion has passed the point of
what everyone needs to hear. If you do not take it to tells at that
point you are subject to disciplinary action up to and including
removal. This set of ideals also extends to zone wide communications
such as shouts and ooc’s.
-
- While anytime you may need a port, buff, res,
etc it is certainly hoped that someone in the guild will be able to
assist though this may not always be the case. Due to restraints on
time, distance, etc it may be necessary on occasion to obtain these
services from someone outside the guild. If someone is asking for a
service you can provide it is equally hoped that you will. When you
selected to play a class with one of these abilities it is the
underlying idea that you will be called upon to provide these services
from time to time. Please at all times act in a manner considerate of
your guildmates on this matter.
-
- If you have several characters under your
control, you will be expected to name one as your "Primary" character.
This means that this character will generally be the one that is
eligible for loot when on a guild raid to the exclusion of your other
characters. The exception would be if you were playing another one of
your characters because it would benefit the situation more. Ex: You
have a cleric and a warrior. You have decided that your warrior is your
primary. A raid starts and another cleric could be of greater use than
an additional warrior so you decide to use the cleric instead. At this
point you could roll for EITHER the cleric or warrior drops but you must
select which one you would like to roll on at the beginning of the raid.
Once you have made your selection this would be the only class’s items
you may roll on for the remainder of the raid. Along these lines, it is
to be the choice of the person with multiple characters as to which one
they would rather play at ANY GIVEN TIME. In the above example if the
person decided to play the warrior anyway the raid group must find
another cleric. For all practical purposes pretend that the cleric did
not exist. The aim of this rule is to encourage people to play
characters that would benefit the event most without having to sacrifice
as much to do so.
-
- If a raid is scheduled and you are tardy do not
expect to always be able to join it under way. More often than not these
raids involve moving through dangerous areas that would make it very
difficult or impossible to join the raid and must begin at a certain
time to allow for completion. If this is the case, be considerate of
those that were on time. Don’t whine, complain, or criticize their
decision to begin the raid. It is not their fault that you were tardy.
When raids are scheduled all guildmembers are encouraged to attend. Not
all raids may have any tangible benefit for you, but every raid we do as
a team will only serve to strengthen our bond. Additionally you may
desire to lead a raid some day and those that you helped will be more
willing to return the favor and help you than those that you shunned.
Finally, all raids should have a definite anticipated beginning and
ending time. Both of these times should be reasonable and adhered too as
much as possible.
-
- Any behavior that is contrary to the ideals and
spirit of the guild will not be tolerated. If you appear to be engaging
in any behavior of this type you will receive a tell from an officer
asking you to adjust your behavior. To continue acting in this manner
will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including removal.
Also, repeatedly acting in a manner that is detrimental to the guild is
subject to the same disciplinary action.
