Hi.

* * = how severe the problem is.
It has been brought to my attention that the guild has been going a bit downhill lately. There have been issues, arguments and drama within the guild that has been going on for quite awhile and I have done nothing to stop it. And for that I am sorry, for anything that could have been prevented sooner if I only I intervened. People have left the guild from these issues, which some find pointless or childish arguments. But, never or less, these issues impact different people differently. So to avoid this from ever happening again, what is left of our JR’s, some members and I have gathered together for a meeting to solve this problem to “clean up” the Albion guild.
*****Problem 1:*****
The biggest issue is the drama and fighting going around the guild. If you want to have an argument with someone in the guild, either talk it out on your own terms (whispers, chat windows and such) so that your drama doesn’t become the guild’s drama, or be the bigger person and just end it. One way that starts this is name calling/racial comments. So from now on either don’t verbally harass anyone or just keep it to yourself. If one fails to perform these actions, one will be warned once and only once. This issue will then be brought up to me and consequences will be severe. If I’m not available to attend to these matters, this issue will be brought up to at least half the Jr’s (in the guild, not the ones that are online at the moment) and to any other members to whom it may concern. As a group you all decide what shall be done.
*Problem 2:*
Spaming is not the biggest issue but is still a concern within the guild. This may sound way too harsh but this is only being done for the good of the guild. When using the guild’s BBS, please don’t abuse its purpose and spam it with stuff you want to sell. I find that if no one wants to buy it out side of the guild, then you won’t have much luck within the guild. Jr’s please don't abuse the guild notice either. Yes you can still post random comments, but when it’s a guild notice war, then that’s when you know it has gone out of hand. Lastly, please don’t spam the guild chat. I know we do get into big long conversations, but don’t randomly start spaming like we can’t hear you. Just because you’re trying to get the attention of one person, that doesn’t mean that the rest of us cannot her you. If they don’t respond the couple of few times you called for them, then just accepts the fact they are AFK or something.

Well that’s all of the main Issues that were brought up at the meeting. If i forgotten something then tell me and ill add it on later, or if I misinformed somehow do the same.

I'll talk to you or one of the other Jr's about this and make sure to follow these rules. I think that I have a role in all of these problems. Cal and I spam notices a lot. Alex and I are vulgar in chat. I've been in arguments a lot too. I've spammed chat many times. But I haven't really done anything with the BBS. So.... I'll do my part and cut down on these things. I'm happy as long as you don't ban swearing.
Bands: A7X, Pantera, Disturbed, and many others.

I'm not going to lie, I'm tired of extreme sexual talk within the guild.
If it's put at a minimum, I'm content with it.
But it's been too much lately.
& Everyone should know by now that I'm at my breaking point with the fighting.
I think we all are. Mark's right. Take it outside of the guild, the rest of us are tired of the BS fighting.
I don't think we'll ban swaring, Andrew. But, there's a time and a place for it. I wouldn't say it if it's not needed.
And I know we're all spammers. And the Jr's, we love messing with the notice. Let's not try and hold conversations over the Guild notice anymore, it's not really nessasary. Though, every once-and-a-while, if there's little people on, we can if we want. And the spamming...well, we usally have playful spam, but if it's annoying spam; spam of a inaprpopsorpspriitrpihjoijsidoajdasojdnate matter then we will tell you to stop.
Yes, the selling thing, not with most of the members, just a certian few, is a little out of hand as well. Don't spam for the item in guild chat. Ask a few times, and if no one wants/has then stop. We don't need to hear about it 49742048 times.
We've even got to the point where Mark has to write dwon all this stuff that we should already know. Let's not make him do it again. Sorry man.
Bands: You.

I also have to throw in that we have been thinking about disbanding.
Don't think that that option has magically disappeared.
If things get out of hand again like they did last night, we may come back to that option.

Over the next month, Me and Mark won't be on as much as we'd like to.
As Jr's, it's your responisiblity to enforce these rules, and keep the peace within the guild.
I cannot stress this enough, guys.
If you find that too much, then we can talk it over.

Jr's- I believe you can add people to the guild on Profil3, go to members, and there should be a little green "+". Click that, and a box should come up, enabling you to type in the username to be added.

[Btw, a lot of you have outside contact with us. If something seriously needs to be brought to our attention, you have MSN or Profil3 as a way of contact. Some of you even have our Myspaces.]
Bands: You.

wow, very organized. well we banned cussing due to some youngies in our guild. and i know there are some 7 year old playing this MS. and some people just dont get it. we are just trying to keep our guild clean and yet sometimes, people go berserk. it kills me. ahh chibi, your inaprpopsorpspriitrpihjoijsidoajdasojdnate... THAT JUST KILLED ME!! LOL i was really trying to read it and then gave up.. >.< and about disbanding... you guys are thinking about disbanding the guild?? i hope that never happens...oi gotta run see ya
Bands: Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Evanescence,.... TOO MUCH!! >:O

~All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind~
~But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul~
~And tonight I thought," I'll just be sitting in my sorrow"~
~And now I must wonder why~
~What did it really mean to you?~
~ I just can't see it anymore~
~I just can't see it anymore~
Blogs: -_-
Bands: FFVII

@ Cloud: I know what you mean by the younglings playin' MS. But, we don't have any...anymore o.o (We used to have a 10-year-old, but expelled when she didn't go on for a month. And everyone else [that includes me...sometimes..] swears on a regular basis. -_- ) And I can't spell that word. Bwahaha. I actually loled at that.
The disbanding thing is an option, and well...I don't know yet.
@ Harry: I LOVE YOU. SO MUCH. It took me a couple of minutes just to realize what that song was. One of my favorites. :]:] -dances-
Bands: You.

I have a question.
Why was Kevin deleted from the Jr. list but Cal and Andrew are still on there?
Blogs: Disdanment.

because kevin left profil3.
Blogs: -_-
Bands: FFVII

So? They all left the guild.
Blogs: Disdanment.

maybe chibi hasn't had time to update it yet?
Blogs: -_-
Bands: FFVII

Not possible.
Cal left before Kevin.
Andrew left afterwards.
Blogs: Disdanment.

Sorry. Never had time to change it. I don't really feel like it at the moment.
Did Andrew really leave? =
Bands: You.

well, there you go, she didn't have time to change it. sigh..>.>
Bands: Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Evanescence,.... TOO MUCH!! >:O

Yeah, Andrew left.
Pretty much all of his friends are gone.

How's the vacation so far?
