Bear with us as we work on updating our website!
All members are required to join the Discord server. When choosing your nickname for the server, it should be recognizable and easily match to your platform’s username. That means all nicknames must be legible and not made up of symbols and numbers completely. Posting graphics or messages on the server that violate our code of conduct or server rules will result in disciplinary actions including but not limited to a verbal warning or removal from the server.
An important part of our community is to provide equal gaming opportunities to all gamers. Discrimination against anyone, including but not limited to game (play/skill), race, age, gender bias, sexual orientation, gender orientation, religious affiliation, national origin, disability, political affiliation, any other personal interest, or investment is strictly prohibited. The Shadow Guard strives to provide a community environment which is fair, equal and welcoming to all its members and guests.
Members are advised to notify a member of the leadership team of their absence if it is for a long duration before they go inactive. If members are inactive from both Discord and in game clan/guild or activities for 30 days. They will receive a warning that they have 15 days before they will reach the maximum of 45 days before being removed from the community. Once they have reached the 45 days of inactivity, they will receive a message saying they have been removed from the community but that they are more than welcome to rejoin when they are back from their long absence.
This community utilizes a three-strike system to help ensure that we give individuals equal opportunities to redeem themselves but also prevent frequent offenders from going unpunished. Members are issued strikes for the following reasons:
• Breaking the Code of Conduct
• Breaking the community rules
• Disrespecting members of the community
Members are allotted three strikes after which they are removed. Due to the severity or consistent problems arising within a short time period within the community we may utilize the One Strike policy.
Any member who is reported and or caught to be intentionally causing a bad reputation for the community and its members while participating in outside activities or public events will be immediately removed without question. This policy also coincides with members who have caused severe violations against the community code of conduct or the community policies. Members removed under this policy will be added to the blacklist and forbidden to ever join the community again. If any member is caught deliberately inviting removed members that have been blacklisted to the community or in game clan events, they will also face being blacklisted.
Blacklisting is an action reserved for the most severe, and egregious of behaviors/threats against the Shadow Guard community or its guests. Blacklisting may only be implemented by those that hold the title of King or Emperor within the leadership team. The following list includes, but is not limited to, actionable offenses which may result in a member, or members being Blacklisted:
• Poaching of members.
• Harassment of any kind
• Threats of violence (credible)
• Information Technology Sabotage
• Breaking the game's Terms of Service
• Cheating
• Hacking
• Stalking
• Felonious Activity
