Guild Rules

The following are a list of rules and Code of Conduct that should be followed by all the Members of the Crimson Watchers.

1. The membership will respect the decisions of the Council at all times. Officers orders must be obeyed to maintain order within the guild and during raids. 
2. The Guild Leader and Council will respect the opinions of the members at all times.
3. Bad mouthing ANY member or the guild itself in guildchat or on the boards is forbidden.
   • If you have a complaint, take it first to that player and if you feel it is serious enough, take it to the leadership.
   • All Members are expected to treat their fellow guild Members with respect and dignity at all times.
   • No harassing, belittling, stalking or any other behavior that disrupts the guild’s continuity will be allowed.
   • Petty arguments and disagreements will not be tolerated. 
4. Bad language is not encouraged although understood at certain times.
   • NEVER in ooc, shout or other zonewide channels however. 
   • Avoided in guildchat as much as possible.
   • Includes acronyms that mask bad language. 
5. All Members should also have the same civility toward other non-guild members, unless of course they are worthy of your contempt.
6. Kill Stealing is not permitted.
7. Cooperation between everyone in the guild is expected.
8. All characters below the Level of 30 must remain in anonymous or roleplay mode at ALL times.
9. All characters at or above the Level of 30 must try and remain visible at all times (not Anonymous or in Roleplay mode).
   • This is most important for characters above Level 45 to do this to convey a sense of power to other non-guild members performing a /who all "Crimson Watchers" on our guild. 
10. Grouping with fellow Members is always encouraged (Soloing is fine from time to time but an effort should be made to team up with fellow guild members).
11. Begging for free items or platinum or power leveling (except as stated in 16.) is forbidden both within the guild and without. If you need assistance in obtaining class armor or a class item that you desire put in a request with an Officer. 
12. All Members are required to attend a State of the Guild Council Meeting the first weekend of every month.
    • Here you can ask questions of the leadership and make comments, voice concerns, and make suggestions.  
13. All Officers (Guild Leader too) are expected to plan at least 1 Raid/Event every month.
    • It doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking just at least 1 full group to be involved.
    • Multiple Officers can collaborate on a raid/event. This includes all planning, setting of groups, and coordination that’s involved.
    • They can appoint a Raid/Event Leader or take command themselves in either case the Leader’s instructions must be followed to the letter (Raid Leader should be someone who knows the area well or has researched the area, Event leaders should also do some research).
    • Please note that Raids/Events can be suggested by any in good standing in the guild. Contact your Officer. 
14. Please try to obtain a Resurrection in the zone that you are in.
    • If however you are unable to obtain a Res. in the zone where you died please feel free to ask in guildchat if we have an available Cleric to come and help.
15. Group Gates - the same rule for Resurrections applies in this case as well.  
16. Asking for Power Leveling is generally frowned upon. However if the need arises for more of a certain class like Enchanters, the Guild Council may decide upon a person they wish to PL. The person chosen will usually be a long time trusted member of the guild.  
17. Ninja Looting any item for any reason will not be tolerated.
