I think we should restrict non-members from viewing/posting on all sections except the application thread. This will keep it a bit more straightforward and safe.
Mainly this: New/future members will read the rules right off the bat and this will repel people who may want to randomly spam the forums without any sort of hacking skills. *
We need to weed forum accounts of players who are no longer in the guild or repeats?*
Rules
No trolling/flaming in the forums AND in game: In the event it occurs
Mandatory IGN in signature: So we know who is who regardless of forum user name.
Mandatory forum account and introductory post: we all want to get to know each other, even though it is only a little at a time. This makes it a start, better than nothing, and helps manage older members who do not have an account and likely did not read the recently implemented rules.
It's to our best interest to have all current members post in a future thread(if this is approved) that they have indeed read the rules and will abide by them if not they will be removed from the guild. deadline should be a week from when the thread is posted, I will remind everyone to go on the forums, sign up and post in the specified thread. This way, we can keep track of who has read the rules and the real guild population.
I don't want to suggest this but I believe it is entirely necessary. A penalty system.
Everyone will have three points to start. Every time a rule is violated to a reasonable extent a point will be deducted. Points will not be replenished nor increased. Think of them as lives, do three stupid things and you get a G-kick
PS. this isn't a suggestion to the forums, it's a suggestion to the players, check the forums at least once every few days if possible for notices and events.
