[u] RULES AND REGULATIONS[/u] [u]Code of Conduct[/u] Our Code of Conduct serves to guide our members so that their behavior and actions are consistent with our clan values. There are certain rules that must be followed during your time with Armed Forces. Some merely carry a number of warnings, but others are more serious offenses that may require your expulsion from the clan (case-by-case basis, but generally if they're that serious, you should know not to do them anyway). 1. [u]Clan Participation and Age Limits[/u] We are a military centric clan focusing on promoting unity and friendship through the common bond that we share as service members. We will approve any application for clan membership for current and former military members, and their spouses (in some regard your job is more arduous). The children of service members can join as well, but with specific limitations: 1) Clan membership will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, 2) Age is not as important to us as maturity, but we enforce an age minimum of 16 years old, and 3) the parent of that child is responsible for their conduct, and will be warned if the behavior is not in keeping with our Rules and Regulations. Any continued violation of clan Rules and Regulations by the child may result in the parent and child to be kicked from the clan. As a Clan member it is HIGHLY encouraged that your introduce yourself to the rest of the clan in the “Hello, My Name Is…” forum. We don’t need your life’s story, but a brief description of who you are, what service you are/were a part of, job, and why you joined Armed Forces. 2. [u]Follow The Chain Of Command[/u] We aren't overly strict here, but there is a hierarchy for a reason. The members who have been selected as Admin are there because they have proven themselves to excel in leadership and are thoroughly committed to Armed Forces. Unless their requests are unreasonable, you are expected to comply as fully as possible. 3. [u]Don't Cheat[/u] We do not accept any boosters/glitchers/cheaters in Armed Forces. If you're going to play a game, play it right! 4. [u]Be Open Minded[/u] As in the military, racism, sexual harassment, derogatory comments, or any other form of abuse, verbal or otherwise, will not be tolerated. There will be no warnings given here. If you are not respectful to fellow clan members or other players, you will be kicked from the clan. All disputes can be solved maturely, there's no need for nastiness. 5. [u]Respect Other Players[/u] YOU are an ambassador of Armed Forces and will represent yourself in the highest degree of personal integrity and professionalism. If you teabag, troll, or trash talk you are embarrassing Armed Forces AND yourself. You'll be lucky to receive even one warning for this before being kicked. We encourage all our members - regardless of rank - to be humble and respectful, not only towards their fellow members, but all players in general. 6. [u]Maturity[/u] While we understand that during a game, things can get heated and you might start swearing or get aggravated, please try to keep your outbursts to a minimum. Maturity is a 100% MUST, and everyone appreciates a player who can stay cool even after getting killed over and over again. RESPAWN, RELOAD, AND GET BACK TO WORK – YOUR FIRE TEAM NEEDS YOU! 7. [u]Microphone[/u] We highly encourage the use of a microphone as it is better than using the Kinect, but you must have one or the other. It is imperative that we have constant communication while running through strikes, and raids. 8. [u]Skill Requirements[/u] We do not have any requirements for Score per Minute, Kill/Death Ratio or Win/Loss Ratio to join up. You only need to meet the requirements listed above. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the Rules and Regulations please do not hesitate to contact me.
