Resist Code of Conduct:
___________________
Respect:
This is a very simple rule. Please respect everyone. Everyone is equal. Not just our faction, but all members in PWI. The "Golden Rule" applies. Treat everyone in the same manner as you would like yourself to be treated.
You are carrying our name around, carry it with pride. We are not just a guild/clan/faction; we are also a family, one that encourages manners, kindness, generosity and moral conduct. If you have any problems with your faction mates, you can always contact any officer to help you out.
Loyalty:
The nature of the game encourages players to create more than one character, and this leads to people becoming members in more than one faction. This is understood. However, recruiting for other factions from your character inside the Resist is not only disrespectful, it is not allowed.
Recruiting can be direct or indirect. Examples of direct recruiting are suggesting that people might like to join another faction or directly giving recruiting information to encourage joining another faction. Indirect recruiting would include, but not be limited to, talking extensively about another faction and directly comparing it to Resist in an unfavorable fashion. This does not include casual conversation about other factions. Casual conversation is not what is covered here - chatting about other factions and even discussing their good points is fine. But direct, extensive, lengthy conversations/statements about how much better the faction that your alt or your friend is in will not be allowed. It shows where your loyalty lies and you will be asked to leave.
If you don't like the faction, speak to an officer in private to initiate change, or simply leave. We want happy members and if you aren't happy in Resist we encourage you to find a faction that is better suited to your playing style.
Chat Content:
Of course, we all want to have fun, but we need to maintain a certain maturity level. Make sure you keep the faction chat clean, no spamming, no overuse of caps lock, trash talking, offending, causing drama, etc. (also see: Respect). Performing any of these will have serious consequences, which may result in a warning or a (temporary/permanent) ban. We're here to play a game and have fun together, if you're looking for other things you don't belong here. There are people of many different ages in our faction so make this a safe place for everyone.
The faction chat channel should not be used to solve issues between individuals. The faction chat channel shall not be used to slander, belittle, argue with, or disrespect anyone. All disputes shall be handled on a private basis. Gossiping and talking behind other's backs is not tolerated. If you find it impossible to solve your issue amongst yourselves, bring it to the attention of an Officer (Executor, Marshal, Director, and Leader).
________________________________________
Activity:
Characters must remain active to stay in faction. Activity will be tracked. If a character has not leveled in 4 weeks, they may be removed from faction. Activity is monitored based on GBQ’s, participation in trials, TW’s and faction events.
Any member who has left faction, or been removed due to inactivity and wants to rejoin must discuss it with the Faction Leader or Director . If you know you will be inactive, or less active than the requirement, please notify someone from the leadership team and we will work with you.
Leaving faction:
Leaving our faction is an important decision that should be well considered. We understand if you decide to take a look somewhere else but we do not want to be treated as if we have a revolving door. When leaving the faction, you must speak with an officer giving a reason or it will affect the decision to allow you back in if you want to return to us in the future. If you have an alt in faction, and you leave without notifying an officer, the alt will also be removed.
If you have decided to apply to another faction, we ask that you please notify an officer and leave the faction. Your application to another faction shows us where your loyalty is, and it is very rude to use the faction as a backup for the instance of "just in case I don’t get accepted." If your application is found by one of the officers, we will in that case contact you and remove you from the faction.
Alternative Character Rules:
Everyone is allowed one alternate character in faction if they so desire. This will be limited only by faction capacity. Both characters must remain active to stay in faction. Inactive characters will be asked to leave faction after being notified of inactivity.
