Code of Conduct
All members must be kind, courteous, and refrain from use of profanity at all times. Offensive language, intentionally instigating other members or players, rude behavior, etc, may result in disciplinary action up to and including the immediate termination of guild membership.
If a member feels that another member has behaved inappropriately, or has a grievance against another member for some reason, it should be discussed privately and resolved. If a member cannot or will not discuss the matter privately, they are required to speak with the guildmaster, an officer, or the Internal Affairs Coordinator. Publicly discussing a grievance, whether voice chat, guild chat, or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. Failure to follow the guidelines in this paragraph is grounds for dismissal from the guild, at the discretion of the guildmaster.
Priority must be given to guild members when creating groups, distributing extra items, etc, over non-members. All members are to be considered equal, regardless of rank or station within the guild. While it is understandable that you would prefer to group with those you know well, remember that it is a violation of our Code of Conduct to behave in a fashion that does not consider the needs of others. Greed and self-interest are not appropriate attributes for our guild members.
Participation
Guild members are expected to participate in-game and on the message boards regularly. Attendance of scheduled guild meetings is mandatory, although at this time PIF does not hold meetings on a regular basis. If circumstances completely prevent your attendance, it must be reported in advance of the meeting. Any extended absences must be reported to the Guildmaster or an Officer as soon as you are aware of them. The guild management reserves the right to remove members who are inactive for too long.
"Participation in-game" as mentioned above entails spending the bulk of your in-game time grouped with other PIF Silvergate members in one of the games that PIF Silvergate is currently active in.
