Lelling 402 Report post Posted May 13, 2016 Please note that OpenCommunity is currently undergoing a restructure. These Policies and Guidelines may be out of date and will be updated soon! OpenCommunity's duties towards guilds Guilds within OpenCommunity still retain full independence, and OC shall not encroach upon their sovereignty The community has a duty to treat all guilds fairly and equally, and help protect the integrity of individual guilds Guilds are provided with information regarding all events organized within the community and are invited to take part in the organization themselves Guild Perks The guild can call our community their home, and get provided with their own spaces on both our TeamSpeak and website The guild gets a private TeamSpeak channel that belongs to them This channel can have subchannels, which can be passworded Guild Leaders & Officers (or equivalent) have moderation rights within that channel Users can be assigned guild tags on TeamSpeak to represent their guild when attending events Guilds can also use any of the following utilities: An infocard on our guild page, with a join button with an integrated application system, forum link, and custom page link A guild subforum Guild Requirements Guilds are required to follow community rules, even within their private channels Community guilds must be committed to OpenCommunity's message of positivity and creating a positive change in the video game community Guilds have to keep a line of communication with OpenCommunity (either through Guild Leaders, Officers, or other representatives), via the OC discord This is to make sure guilds are properly accommodated and represented within the community, as well as letting us know if a guild is disbanding or taking a hiatus. Community guilds should have an internal structure in place with which they can reliably inform their guild of upcoming major community events. Guilds should be aware they are representing the community even when not doing community events Guilds are NOT required to provide commanders or coordinate events in order to qualify as community guilds Members Community members may be in any number of community guilds at the same time Guilds are not allowed to prevent their members from joining another OC guild Community guilds watch each other's backs - warning each other of problematic members. Community guilds promise to deal with members internally after a complaint has been issued. Complaints are generally directed to a guild leader or officer, who can then resolve the issue internally. Community guilds shouldn't give their members special treatment before other OC members, including but not limited to: Giving members that have been banned from OC platforms covert access or ways to bypass bans Giving people a way around OC requirements for events, such as taxiing people through guild chat into a TS-only event Share this post Link to post
