1. No Spam - Spam is defined as blatant self-promotion, or sometimes simply mindless posting. It is best phrased as "Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages." It can also be seen as advertising for a major website in order to get profits from said website. Multiple posts of the same subject to clutter the forum, posts with no relevance to any subjects dealt with on the forum, or posts devoted purely to promoting one's own work will be deleted, and the user will be given a Warning or a Ban, depending on the severity of the offense.
2. No Unfit Material for Minors - Any material such as pornography and erotic writing will result in an immediate ban.
3. No Flaming - Flaming is defined as personal attacks or insults on another person regarding the persons religion/views/knowledge etc. Though we encourage healthy discussion and debate, a certain point comes in which an insult turns personal, and this is strongly discouraged via both public forums and the messenger. Reports of such abuse will usually result in a warning; multiple abuses will result in a Ban. Also if you insult a mod/admin its an instant ban, it doesn't matter if you think they are qualified or not.
4. Multiclanning - The rule at SRG about multi-clanning is that you can't be part of 2 clans for the same game. So if you are a member of SRG for COD or BF3 and want to join another COD or BF3 clan you must choose between SRG and the other clan within a week. Even if you join the other clan for a different game than we have, if they have the games we do you will have to pick one clan or the other. Disobeying of the rule will result in removal from the clan.
5. No Insubordination - Insubordination is simply not listening to the ruling of a clan Officer or Admin. Disregarded what we tell you to do is against the rules and will usually result in a Ban.
6. No Mod/Admin Begging - Mods and Admins are happy to promote fit users to a position of authority if they display the proper attitude, responsibility, discipline, and maturity. One way to show the exact opposite of all of these qualities is to ask for a position of authority. If you're fit for the position, we will find you, not vice-versa. Violation of this will result in a WARNING; repeated offenses may result in a Ban.
7. No E-Mail Abuse - It is unacceptable to use the e-mail of users found here on the forum to sign them up for junk e-mail, send them threats, etc. If you do this, you will be banned and we will contact your ISP.
8. No Double Posting - 'Double Posting' = posting once and then again - once directly after the other, leaving no space for another user to reply in between your posts. If you need to add any information to your previous post, use the "edit" button at the top-right corner of your post. This prevents the page from becoming unnecessarily cluttered, and it takes the same amount of time as making a completely new post right below your previous one. If a double post is spotted, the post will just be removed without question.
9. No Advertising Other Sites - We employ a strict "no advertising" policy, which includes promoting your site, or that of a competitor. Obviously, linking to sources of articles is okay - however posting links in order to send traffic to those sites is unacceptable. Also don't post links in the Chatbox, Such posts will be removed and the member will be warned. (Placing a link in your signature is fine.)
10. Do Not Impersonate Mods/Admin - Includes acting like a Mod and/or pretending to be a Mod –e.g. sending PM's to members saying they will be banned or promoting new forum policy without Admin/Staff consent.
11. Posting Rules- OK, so when your going to post, please to make sure the site looks nice and neat, do not post in CAPS, no "1337" speak (typing a whole sentence in "1337" in a post. Shoutbox is fine.)
12. Absolutely no racism/sexism/discrimination. This should be a given. Even if you joke around by saying dialogue like "sup nigga" this could have potential to offend many people. Any Racism/Sexism/Discrimination will result in severe consequences if not ban.
13. Absolutely NO glitching, hacking, boosting, or cheating of any kind. Cases will be examined individually and will most likely result in a ban.
14. No nudity of any kind will be allowed, whether links to other sites or pics/vids posted to a thread. This is a Forumotion rule.
15. No politics
16. Spawn Camping is prohibited. Spawn Camping is a deliberate attempt to "stake out" spawn spots, not merely killing someone that spawns right in front of you as you're running by, or killing someone who spawns right next to you as you're trying to take a flag. It is not considered spawn camping if you are merely trying to help your team get the flag. However, you must have teammates on the flag. If your teammates are all killed in the process, you must back off of the spawn spots or get on the flag yourself. this rule applies to Conquest mode only, Rush mode is not bound to this rule.
17. We never kick players to make room for SRG members. Members will wait their turn to get on the servers.
18. Hateful or demoralizing content (ie: gossip, swearing, masked swearing, racial, sexual, or religious bashing) will not be tolerated.
19. Do not leave angry. If there is an issue between you and any other member, seek to bring about resolution as outlined in our Creed. If you however do decide to resign from the group, please send a PM to one of the leadership team.
