Offense ~ Disciplinary Action
We stand by the 3-Strike Rule. Members will be given three warnings, with the third resulting in a Guild Counsel meeting to review and decide if the member should be removed from the guild.

Warning 1 – You will be verbally warned and so noted on your character. An in game mail will be sent to you as a reminder. This will stand for 30 days, at the end of such time if there are no more violation the warning will be removed.

Warning 2 – If there is a second offense in the 30-day period, you will get a written warning via game mail, and loose one rank. You will also loose bank privileges and be exempt from promotions during this time. This is a 60-day warning period. At the end of said time, if no other violations are noted the warning will be removed and you will regain all privileges.

Warning 3 – For a third offense during this 60-day period, a Guild Counsel Meeting will be called 24 hours after the warning has been placed. At such time the Officers and Guild Leader will review all information presented, screenshots, member mail complaints, etc., decide on said members guild removal.

Note: The first warning will be for the character in question. Second warnings will affect all of said member’s characters in the guild. If a removal from the guild is decided, said member will remove all of their characters immediately - Or they will be removed for them.

Key Offenses that can get you immediate warnings.

As quoted from another awesome guild, “A good rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it in front of your grandmother, then don't say it in guild chat. If your grandmother uses that type of language, then go join her guild.”
