Code of Conduct

Written by Gaiah Enapkallu and Silxie Sower

Role-Playing
Members of Tunare's Benevolence are not required to act in character, but are strongly encouraged to do so.

Language
We have a clean guild chat. Swearing or using disrespectful language in guild chat will result in a warning. Excessive use of coarse language will result in a guild removal.

/Anon vs. /Roleplay
It is requested that if a member wants to be /anon that they use /roleplay instead. This mode keeps the race, class, level, and location anonymous, while continuing to show the Tunare's Benevolence guild-tag. Seeing a player on /anon will result in tells from the officers asking for an explanation why. You may be asked to stop using it. The only exceptions are if a player is experiencing harassment or if they are on trader in the Bazaar.

Account Sharing
If you share your account with someone or if others besides you have your password, you must make sure to let the guild know who those people are. If someone else is using your character, make sure that they are open and honest about not being you and that they let the guild know. You are fully responsible for the actions of your character in game.

Guild Chat Guidelines
All members are pledged to help keep guild chat a warm and friendly place. Please avoid auctioning, begging, pressure tripping or dominating guild chat with spam. We like to keep the fantasy of Norrath intact for our members. Please avoid bringing real-life politics and issues into guild chat.

To avoid guild chat being swamped with item links, we try to avoid linking unless it is a hard won item we can congratulate you on, something you wish to hand down and are looking for a home for, something you have a question about or part of a complete sentence. You are welcome to put stat links into our Tunare’s Friends channel.

Blackballing
Guild chat is not the appropriate place to blackball another player or malign another guild. Respect the friendships of everyone who might be listening.

Kill Stealing
Absolutely no kill stealing. If a member steals a kill, they should profusely apologize to the person whom they took the kill from, and give that person the loot from the kill, and possibly donate a little more for their trouble.

Looting
Greed has no place in Tunare's Benevolence. All loot shall be divided evenly among group members unless one declines, and priority in loot should be given to the one with the most need. No member will partake in a fraudulent deal, price-gouge, or be dishonest in monetary concerns. Anyone determined to be guilty of the above will be guild removed.

Begging
Members will not beg. Asking for assistance and making your needs known is fine, but repeatedly asking for ports, money, power leveling, or items or assistance is not becoming of a guild member.

Raid and Event Attendance
No TB raid, guild meeting or event is mandatory. We try to support all of our members in their chosen style of gameplay when ever we can. However if you wish for support for something, make sure you have been a solid support to others.

Disagreements
If a member has a disagreement with another person (regardless of guild status) they will limit the disagreement to /tells. Arguing publicly, in group chat, guild chat, /OOCs, or /shout is unacceptable. Arguing on public message boards and flaming is unacceptable. You are accountable for your public behavior on message boards or in game. Defend the honor of Tunare and Tunare's Benevolence, but conduct any debates with positive language while being respectful of everyone who may be able to "hear" the debate.
If you have problems or a disagreement with a player, first attempt to resolve the conflict yourself. If this does not succeed, then bring the problem to the attention of an officer in the guild. The decision of the officer is final. If you have a serious problem with the decision of the officer, bring the problem to the attention of the guild leader - though the leader will support the officer in most instances.

Flame Forum
Members of Tunare’s Benevolence do not post on the Crossroads Flame Forum or Bottom Feeders Forum, except in an official capacity as a moderator or other official. If a post there requires an answer, your guild leader or officers will consult and agree on a well thought out response. The only guild members who should be involved in this process are the people directly concerned. Our aim will be to settle the incident with honor and work towards peace in private.

Our members represent us to Norrath. You are expected to act in a way that reflects well on our guild at all times.

R.I.P. – The values behind the guild

• Respect. Disrespect will not be tolerated in our guild. We will respect all people regardless of guild membership/position, race, class, sex, or deity worship.
  
  
• Integrity. Members do what they say they will do. Doing otherwise is a violation of trust. Integrity is also acting appropriately at all times, not just when other guild members are around.
  
  
• Passion. Everything we do, we do with our whole heart. For example, if you are a healer in a group, you take that role seriously and do the very best you can. Everyone has different strengths - use those strengths to perform to the very best of your ability. If a member sees another character in peril, they should do what they can to assist that other person.
