Time to lay down some rules for new members.

Post by Cleon »

Folks new to the Kindred may not understand how we operate, and that is fine.

It takes time to learn, understand, and become adjusted to our playstyles.

One thing is for certain, though, and that is respect and responsibility to each and every guild member and team mate is a requirement.

After following chat in both ventrilo and guild over the years as a silent participant, I've learned to put my foot down before things begin to get out of hand.

We sometimes have new members that feel the need to use profanity, raise voices, and discipline other guild members over ventrilo. This is NOT acceptable, nor has it ever been a practice in our guild. Don't forget the majority of us are middle-aged citizens with children and family which can hear our every conversation of ventrilo over our speakers. We have age 18+ channels set up in ventrilo for those who wish to carry on in such a manner, and members who join those channels do so at their own risk and understanding of what may be said there.

Sometimes new members randomly spat about this and that in guild chat over very minor matters--which is very childish--and not a good representation of your first impression upon our guild. We do not act that way as a guild, and have never tolerated such behavior for the many years we've operated. We do not want profanities or other such vile chat in our guild channels either.

We do not want people constantly spamming weapons and armor links in guild chat. Such behavior is very unacceptable, and you are asked to refrain from doing so at any given time.

Our old-timers know the rules, so I've not in many years had the need to bother sharing this information. In Warhammer, however, we've made room for new recruits who may not understand this perspective of our guild structure.

If you feel the need to act in these ways, I will warn you for a fair chance. You decide after that to continue breaking these ground rules, then I am going to remove you--without a second thought or chance on your behalf.

Don't bother asking or begging to stay. You will know why you're gone, and should take responsibility for your actions, thou "mature" one.

I will not tolerate this behavior, neither will our guild family.

We're tight knit for a reason, and we will NOT let anyone cause a negative impact on our guild.

Get right, or get out.

You've been warned.

Now, take heed.

*bows head* Also, we have 18+ channels in vent, just for those of us who have a high vocabulary of... potty mouth (And I'm one of them at times, so you'll probably see me in that channel quite a bit.. :P). Go there, take your friends, and have fun - It's why the rooms were created!

Exactly. Use of profanity in our public vent channels is prohibited.

It's simple. Don't do it.

If you must, use the 18+ channels we set up for that precise purpose.

Profanity? Minor spats? New rules? Me needs to start getting into vent.

I agree with Cleon.
The only time profanity is acceptable is when your team is playing the Cowboys.
