Charter Terms

  This Charter uses several terms which are defined as follows:

• Member: Any person who is rank Member, Veteran, Elder, Officer, Senior Officer, or Leader on the vaevictisguild.com forums.
• Guest: Any person who is not rank Member, Veteran, Elder, Officer, Senior Officer, or Leader on the vaevictisguild.com forums.
• Communication Channel: Any service provided by accessing the domain vaevictisguild.com or its IP addresses, or any form of in-game chat.

Charter Violations

  In most cases, a simple verbal reminder will suffice as corrective action for a rules violation. More serious violations may result warning, suspension, or even removal from the guild depending on the severity of the violation.
  If you are unsure whether a course of action is against the rules, it is best to err on the side of caution and not proceed. Contact a junior officer for clarification on the issue. Providing this kind of feedback alerts the leadership of opportunities for potential rule revisions.

Legalese

  Members or guests of Vae Victis will at all times honor the End User License Agreements, Non-Disclosure Agreements, Terms of Service, Rules of Conduct and other agreements associated with playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.
  Members or guests will not use any Vae Victis communication channel to link or provide anyone with the means to acquire pirated or copyright material.

No Drama

  Members or guests of Vae Victis will not engage in or perpetuate unnecessary drama. The Contact form exists for anyone to report grievances to the Vae Victis leadership team. This communication channel exist to mitigate superfluous drama, and promote a more professional community environment.

  Members recognize that Vae Victis has a zero tolerance policy regarding exploiting or discussing cheats, hacks or known exploits. Violation of this rule will result in an immediate and permanent ban from Vae Victis.

Diversity

  Members or guests of Vae Victis will not use discriminatory or bigoted language.

That being said, the discussion of these topics is allowed, as long as care is taken to respect the differences of others.

Ganking, Griefing, and Harassment

  Vae Victis does not police it's members in matters of accused ganking, griefing, or harassment. Bioware has enabled players to reasonably opt out of these situations by using /ignore, spawning back at the medical center, changing the world zone instance, gathering friends for protection and retaliation, using /report to bring attention to exploiters, playing alt characters, choosing a PvE server, or logging out of the game to take a break.
  That being said, Vae Victis' Charter clearly outlines the desire to maintain positive community standing. If a member's actions continually compromise this goal, Vae Victis leadership may step in to take action.

Conflict Resolution

  Members of Vae Victis are encouraged to resolve their differences privately with each other. If you are unsuccessful in resolving the issue on your own, the next step is to escalate your concerns using the Contact form.
