BKB Code of Conduct

Fun:
The number one rule is fun. We all are playing the game for fun and enjoyment.

Respect:
We respect the right of others to have fun. While friendly ribbing and trash talking is part of a game and are acceptable, insults, racial slurs, and foul language is not allowed on Ventrilo, in game, or on our forums.

Teamwork!
We play as a Guild and a work together as a team to achieve our goals and missions. We play together, have fun together, and we enjoy the game together.

Pride:
Take pride in your Guild and do nothing to tarnish our reputation. If in doubt don't do it is a good guideline. Conduct yourself in a manner that is proper, proud and honorable of a BKB Member.

Honor:
Respect the BKB tag you have beside your name. Conduct yourself in a way that reflects in a positive manner when non-BKB members are near.

Duty:
Carry out the orders of the hunting party leaders or other leaders to the best of your ability. If you have a question or a request ask in a polite manner, if you feel there were issues with the request, work on resolving any conflicts.

Integrity:
Be humble in victory, gracious in defeat. Using known glitches, exploits, programming bugs, and cheats are not choices for BKB members and are cause to be removed from the guild..

Leadership:
We follow whom we respect, and appoint leaders in our Guild on the same principle. Never ask others to do what you are unwilling to do yourself.

Our forums and most online games have an ignore function. Make use of the ignore command, this will block anything the person says to you in game and in the forums. Screenshots from in-game turned in to the senior members of any member verbally attacking a PC will be removed from the Guild..

Police Ourselves: Any member of BKB seeing the Code of Conduct being violated should screenshot the incident (print sceen button on keyboard), and submit it to Guild Leaders.

If you are not able to talk to a player about an issue using a polite professional way of communicating, then don’t. Bring it to the attention of another senior member, they will help out or ask someone to help. Members of authority that cannot follow this guideline will be removed from the position or removed from the Guild..
