Guild Rules

BASIC RULES

Every guild has them,  here is what is expected of you when you are wearing the TLP tag.

  • Rule number one: Don’t be a pr**k. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
  • No one under the age of 18 is allowed. We are an ADULT ONLY COMMUNITY. By agreeing to our rules on Discord, you are certifying that you are older than the legal age of 18.
  • Stay away from any “double G” words or any derogatory words that make people feel less than human.
  • Be mindful and accepting that we’re open to all kinds of people from all kinds of walks in life, from military folks to transgendered folks, to non binary folks, to the Polish (that’s a joke!), and to the Seniors! LOL We’re not kidding, we had a 76 year old grandpa (Pops, RIP 2020, age 89) that played with us for 13 years!
  • We focus on warring the bosses in raids, NOT warring each other. So, keep politics, religion, prior criminal activities, and other off colored BS where it belongs (in the literal trash!).
  • No griefing or trolling in public areas of our sites, our voice servers, or in the game! That includes both for PvE and PvP activities.
  • No selling of cash-based transactions, code-based transactions, or anything that cannot be TRADED in game.
  • And… lastly… Rule number 789652658236: Don’t be a pr**k. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

WORDS OFF LIMIT

DEROGATORY WORDS in general should never really be used with MALICIOUS intent. And frankly there are a few words that should NEVER be used, PERIOD. we will start with these two (but includes more):

– NI**ER
– FA**OT
– TRA**Y
– DY**

Any of these used in a derogatory manner is an INSTANT GKICK!

METHOD OF PROCESS

Escalation in our guild follows a certain structure when encountering issues among its members.

The guild policy to date centers around INTENT. If the intent is to push buttons, cause discomfort, or otherwise slander a person or group, we have been known to immediately REMOVE said person from this guild, without escalation. Just a GKICK in the pants. So that can still happen. Traditionally we follow a “Three Strikes” rule and that goes as follows:

If you fail to keep to our rules, with the exception of the ‘ists and ‘phobes that are insta-kicked, you will be put through a 3 strikes system.

STRIKE ONE

A discussion with a Raid Leader or Leadership Officer about the incident and the first strike is recorded. After a 3 month timelines, the strike falls off.

STRIKE TWO

If the first strike hasn’t fallen off, and you break another rule, you will gain 2 strikes and that will be recorded. It will now take you 6 months for those strikes to fall off.

STRIKE THREE

If the first or second strike hasn’t fallen off, you get removed from the guild.

WHO HANDLES THE STRIKES?

STRIKE ONE: Assistants and above can help discuss and document a 1st time strike.
STRIKE TWO: Officers and above will help discuss the issue and document a 2nd strike.
STRIKE THREE: Senior Officers and above will help discuss the issue and document the 3rd strike.

If a 4th incident happens, that ends with an immediate GKICK.

FOR LEADERSHIP

  • No one has the right to GKICK a raid leader but an OFFICER or above.
  • No one has the right to GKICK an officer but an SENIOR OFFICER or above.
  • No one has the right to GKICK a senior officer but a CGM or GM.
