Code of Conduct

We expect our members to be upstanding citizens of the Warcraft community. Members are expected to help others in need, not mock when folks ask simple questions simply because they do not know, or cause disturbances in groups and parties of which the members are a part. Above all, be considerate and understand that every one plays the game for different reasons. If for some reason an issue occurs, please do not discuss or take the conflict to the public channels. It is the responsibility for the affected parties to work it out in private or, if that fails, to bring it to the attention of an officer.
Grouping in this game is often essential to long term success. A guild as large as TEOT generally offers multiple opportunities to group with fellow guildies. Through this and over time, people will be come comfortable with and gravitate toward certain other guild members; this is human nature. The Officers will never dictate who you should or shouldn’t group with or when. We do ask, however, that you are considerate of your other guildmates and if you find yourself running with the same group over and over again, to just be mindful when others are looking to group.
The Elders strive to be as supportive as possible in getting our members geared and prepared for each phase of the game in which they choose to participate. Utimately, however, it is the responsibility of each individual to properly gear themselves as well as understand how the contribute to the group. We will help where we can and in most cases, this should be enough. There will be times, however, that you may need to seek the assistance of outside resources.
The Guild Master and officers spend a good deal of our time performing behind the scenes administration of the guild. We are also here to answer questions, mediate conflicts and continually set the direction of the guild. To do so, we need interaction with the guild at large. While we set direction based on the mission statement of the guild, we do not have all the answers. If you see something that is not going as smoothly as you think it can or have an idea for the guild, please bring it to the officers’s attention.
We expect all of our members to have fun and joke around, but also be considerate of other people. We are not in the act of censoring or limiting guild chat, but everyone has their limits of tolerance. When speaking in Guild Chat, please be mindful of this and dial it back if it appears that a line has been crossed.
Respect your fellow guildsfolk and other citizens of Turalyon. Our Guild has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on remarks insensitive to others' gender, race, locale, sexual orientation, and other matters of "political correctness." While we are not necessarily PC, everyone is entitled to enjoy the game without worrying about the "noise" that clogs the often childish general chat lines.
The Guild Communication lines (Guild Chat, Party Chat, etc) are meant to be tools not only of collaboration, but also as a means for us to grow closer together as a virtual family. It is not a vehicle to hold long, one-on-one conversations, for long term venting of various frustrations or to present your latest "Chart Numbers." Clearly, personal conversations, venting and being proud of your accomplishments are perfectly acceptable, but please make sure you do it in the proper channel and leave Guild Chat free for the collaborative tool it is meant to be.
Direct and open attacks or anything that appears as such will not be tolerated on any level. It is not anyone’s place to be overly critical of someone else’s tanking, DPS, heals, gear, character race, character class, etc. There is a not-so-fine line between giving helpful advice and going on the attack. The latter will not be tolerated.
A guild is a group that allows you to grow and prosper within the confines of a like-minded community. We all grow through interaction and analysis; this goes for the uber-DPSer, the seasoned tank and the veteran healer. The best way for us to always grow and adapt is to ask questions. No guild member should ever shy away from asking a question and, conversely, all questions should be answered with respect.
PUG rules: Random grouping with folks outside the guild (referred to commonly as PUGging) for instances is fine, since we all have to do it some time or another. If you choose to PUG a raid, please respect your fellow guildmates and the infrastructure we have built for them. Please refrain from commentary about or linking gear in guild chat.
Finally, we adhere to Blizzard's Terms of Service and policies. If you violate those terms and we are made aware of it, you may be expelled from the guild based on that rationale alone. This includes (but is not limited to) account sharing, harrassment of other players, or purchasing gold or powerlevelling services.
