(i) General Conduct
Treat all members as equals. Respect! All members are expected to demonstrate a reasonable level of maturity in all their interactions, both in and outside of the guild.
If a member makes a commitment to help a fellow member, honor that commitment. Real life happens all the time, so if you have to suddenly log off, we all understand. However, deciding to leave your guild mates for a better opportunity is not acceptable.
Support the diverse play-styles and game approaches of other members. Discussion about the relative merits of certain talents or specs is appropriate; however, making derogatory comments about another player, whether in guild chat or in private tells, is inappropriate.
When required, the guild’s officers may invoke disciplinary measures against other guild members. These measures may include being sanctioned; temporary suspension from the guild; or in severe cases, expulsion.
Decisions made by the officers have been made after a lot of deliberation. Once those decisions are announced, we ask that all members support the choices that were made.
(ii) Player Activity
Members of Inquisition are expected to be active in game and on our guild's website. Any player who has been absent from the game for 2 months will be removed from the guild at the officers' discretion.
(iii) Recruitment
1. New Member
•A new member must fill out the guild application on the website.
•A majority vote by the officers of the guild, in the officers forums must be performed.
•In the case of having a dead heat in the officers vote the applicant will be given the benefit of the doubt, but will be under close scrutiny during the rookie phase.
•All applicants are required to meet with at least one of our officers in Ventrilo prior to acceptance. If you do not have Ventrilo other arrangements will be made. However, having Ventrilo is a requirement of all applicants looking to raid with Inquisition.
•New members are given the rank of Rookie.
2. ReAdmittance of Previous Member
•If a member leaves to join another guild or gquits for other reasons and decides to come back to us, we enforce a cooldown(CD) of 1 week after they /gquit. This CD serves as a discouragement to members that /gquit in anger and force them to think it through. We dont want to become a transit point for angry people.
•If the ex-member is returning after an extended time we will consider their application using the same process as the new application process.
•Upon successful re-admission the applicant will be granted membership priviledges and bypass the rookie rank.
•Any rank above member previously awarded will be revoked until re-earned or ratified by officers.
(iv) Promotions
Rookie --> Member
Rookies will be granted full members permissions and status once these criteria are met:
•Officers vote at the one month mark - majority rules
•Officers can within the first month decide on performing an adhoc vote to promote a rookie to member based on performance and fit to our guild - but this must be a unanimous vote of those present - no abstentions.
•After 1 month, if the rookie has not already been promoted and does not get a majority vote by the officers to join, the Veterans of the guild are consulted for their opinion, and if we still have no majority, the rookie will be asked to leave.
