Not up for discussion

[Cryptor]

Here is a list of things that are not up for discussion in our guild.  These rules are set in stone and will never, ever change.  If any of these rub ya the wrong way then this is not a good place for you.

Not up for Discussion Rule #1:  Friends > Loot
This is our mantra and what we have been living by for the last decade or so.  GUNBAD is a guild for people who are interested mostly in the social aspect of mmorpgs, and not so much about best gear or top content.

Not up for Discussion Rule #2:  No abusive behavior.
GUNBAD has zero policy on abusive behavior.
Please keep in mind that the decision whether something is abusive or not is based not on what the individual in question thinks is abusive but rather on what people interacting with the individual feel.  If you feel that it's fun to: pick on people because of their sexuality, race or religion then this is not a guild for you.  On the same token if you hate any group of people based on their sexuality, race or religion then this is not a guild for you either.

Not up for Discussion Rule #3:  No mandatory scheduled guild events.
GUNBAD does not schedule events as a guild.  Guild members are free to take initiative and organize their own, non-mandatory events.  Contact Cryptor for assistance on creating non-mandatory guild events.

Not up for Discussion Rule #4:  Get your damned member notes in order.
Having your member & officer notes in proper order is crucial to my ability to get an accurate count of members. Here is how.

Not up for Discussion Rule #5:  When forming groups, always request Guild member participation first and foremost.
No matter the advanced class/profession requirements.  When you join GUNBAD you join a family - and family always comes first.

Not up for Discussion Rule #6:  "The Cosmo-Centric Ban."
When it comes to participation, if the group made up of you and your select few friends takes precedence over the larger group of Gunbad, then you are in the wrong guild.  Our universe does not revolve around you.

Not up for Discussion Rule #7:  GUNBAD is not a raiding guild.
This guild does not focus, or concern itself with end-game raiding or being on the bleeding edge of content.  Please, please oh please do not join us if you can't live without raiding or organized guild events.

Not up for Discussion Rule #8:  Relax and enjoy yourself.
Never take the game seriously. (See rule #1)

 OK, I cleaned it up a bit.  Feel free and define any of these in a post.

As it was pointed out by Howl few days ago it's a good idea to put these things right out there for everyone to read.  If something is set in stone it would be a good idea to make sure everyone is aware of it.

Once done I will also cut & paste this into the recruiting thread.

Rule #6 (reworded):  "The Cosmo-Centric Ban."  When it comes to participation, if the group made up of you and your select few friends takes precedence over the larger group of Gunbad, then you are in the wrong guild.  Our universe does not revolve around you.

^^^  Or "Guildies First, Then Strangers."  Something like that.
