[IWU] Clan Constitution:

Member rules

1) We play to have fun. The manner in which we pursue this rule is described in further rules.

2) Never mis-treat a new player or players either [IWU]clan or non-[IWU]clan. Exercise patience!

3) Never lose control of your frustrations or anger. Never ever lash out against another player. Always maintain an attitude of moderation.

4) Respect all members/players as is their due. All players are due at least a small degree of respect as long as they abide by the rules. Never allow or participate in discussions on servers that might make other players feel uncomfortable!

5) Try to help new players, not belidle or frustrate them. Never put down a player who is trying to learn. Always remember that at one time you were that new player.

6) Never at anytime, insult or dishonor yourself or this clan out of ignorance or anger on any server or any forum.

7) If any player has a problem with another player, work it out together, but not on the server or in public display. Communicate via ICQ or use email.

8 ) Always remember to some this is more than a game. Present yourself as you wish others to present themselves to you: With honor.

9) Always try to welcome players that enter our servers and others with a simple “Hi”. Always depart a game or server with a “gg”.

10) Members are required to wear their [IWU]Tags proudly as much as possible while playing on any Half-life server. Certain situations which require a member to shed their [IWU]tag could arise but should always be kept to a minimum. All members need to be ambassadors of IWU.

11. With respect to skill, all clan members must help their fellow clan mates improve as they are able to.

Administration

12) There shall be a clan hierarchy: President/leader, founder/board member, lesser admin, clan member. Members at higher levels automatically have membership and authority in lower levels. Presidential fiat is the highest form of authority in the clan and shall not be challenged by any scope within the clan.

13) The Clan President is Kbaxter1. The president also retains membership in the founding board. The clan board is composed of 8 members: Kbaxter1, Reaction669, scott5245, The Mighty Smethious, Zohar, Super Luigi, darkmanjar, and chrisgooverthere.

14) Board members may vote on any decision excepting of promotion of a player to the founding board. Such a promotion may only be made by presidential fiat.

Membership and Recruiting

15) This is an exclusive clan: we hold members up to standards of maturity and skill.

16) Any member may be voted out of the clan, or demoted by a 2/3 majority of board members. In the event of demoting or terminating another board member, the clan president/leader has sole authority.
