Guidelines and Rules
Recruiting and Dismissing(kicking) Members:
Recruiting
Who can Recruit new members?
Operative and above can recruit.
What ranks are required to actively participate in recruiting?
Captains and higher are required to do some recruiting.
Who should be recruited?
Mature, casual, players. (Maturity has little to do with age)
How does one recruit members?
It's simple. Ask people. For example people you are adventuring with. Or hanging out with. Or make a macro with an advertisement. (See below for an example). I'll post some guidelines regarding marco recruiting here at a later date.
DO NOT SPAM MACROS!
Recruitment macro text example (type the following into the macro window. the /4 and <> are required.)
/4 <The Matrix Alliance> is recruiting. We're a small guild, with a very long history, looking for mature and casual people to join us. PST for more info.
Dismissal (kicking)
These are some of the things that will get you dismissed from the guild.
Racial slurs, gender discrimination, theft, fraud, exploiting system bugs for personal or monetary gain, impersonation of other players/game masters/admins or anyone that isn't you, harassing other guild members or players, Ninja looting and all other forms of screwing over other players whether they are in the guild or not, begging, inappropriate language in public channels.
If I feel that you are bad for the guild .. I'll show you the door and not shed a tear. Won't be the first time I've done it. Won't be the last.
It's really simple. Be kind, respectful, generous, helpful and it's clear sailing. By generous I mean with time, not platinum. Just to be clear.
Ranks and Responsibilities
(Temporary list. I'll flesh it out later including what permissions the ranks have.)
Ranks up to and including Operator have no responsibilities other than to have fun. Permissions for the guild bank and rezzing using guild funds scale up with rank.
Operatives have recruiting permissions although they cannot kick people. So be certain about the recruit because you may have to wait until a Captain or above logs in to kick a bad seed.
Captains and above are expected to do a bit of recruiting as well as running missions with new and lower level members. This is a leadership rank after all. Captains can also kick problem members.
Dock Supervisors are expected to recruit and assist new and lower level members. They can recruit, kick, and have expanded guild bank permissions.
Commanders are a leadership role and are responsible for assisting in the day to day running of the guild. They have expansive permissions and only trusted members of the alliance can earn this role.
The Council are the leaders of the guild in Rift. As of this post they are Danzing, Skyscream, and Xanthian. The Council are expected to recruit, help new members when able, plan events and activities for the guild, moderate disputes, and make decisions about the guild. Any possible promotions to the Council would require one of the three council members to step down, agreement between the remaining council members that another is required, and even then only the most trusted of commanders would be considered for the open position.
Promotions
Promotions to ranks other than operative simply require time and showing up. Operative promotions are dependant on whether or not you are friendly and helpful, communicating in guild chat, things like that.
Promotions to Captain will go to those wanting to further the Guild through recruiting and assisting players.
Promotions above Captain will be handled on a case by case basis by the Council.
Demotions
Demotions will be handled by the council. Honestly the only reason to demote someone is if they don't want to be one of the higher officer ranks and deal with the responsibilities for whatever reason. (Life, kids, school, tired of it, etc, etc.)
((More to come. Need a break from typing and thinking. lol.))
