Please read the Code of Ethics below, this is what we expect of
our members, if you agree to the following, then contact the leader of the
Division you would like to join. In your email please include name, age,
connection, and division you’re interested in and how often you play. Please
take note of #1 and #5; we hold #5 very highly as that is our way
of communicating with our members.





1. Fun*: You will not be welcomed in this clan/guild if you do not have fun and
get along with others.



2. Team work**: This falls into the FUN factor. We cannot have fun if everyone
is gung-ho and goes off on their own when we are trying to create strategy and
team work. There is a time and a place for that and that is when you are playing
by yourself or with non-*BBC|. Teamwork is essential. The idea of teamwork also
only applies to games that require it as part of the game play. If there is no
teamwork involved and it is a simple death match or whatnot, then no teamwork is
needed.



3. Promotion: Every member will be expected, not required, to promote themselves
and *BBC| to other players in ANY game we partake in playing. This means that
you represent *BBC| in all forms and must respect other players DESPITE their
attitudes toward you or other *BBC| members. You are not *BBC|, *BBC| is you!
So, make sure everyone thinks that YOU are a good player, skill-wise AND
sportsmanship-wise. We do not need to sink to their level of degradation and
rude comments. This also applies to guests who post in our forums. We need to be
respectful of other people, their ideas and views. If they are rude or
disrespectful by any means forum moderators are in a position to take care of
the problem. Instead of flaming that person you are obligated to notify a forum
moderator so they can look into the problem. Multiclanning, defined as being in
two clans at once. Joining *BBC| for one division and being in another clan for
another division is not accepted in *BBC|.



4. Rights vs. Privileges: You will earn your privileges by proving yourself to
*BBC| leaders. Privileges are determined as Admin Privileges, Special
Recognition, Leadership Roles in game divisions and anything else that we (the
leaders of *BBC|) deem fit at the time. Rights are determined as the right to
play in any *BBC| gaming server DESPITE what division you fall under or partake
in on a regular basis. This provides YOU the players the ability to be flexible.
Rights also include such things as server time, forums access, voting
privileges, and updates with clan policies.

4a. Server Time: Every *BBC| member will be guaranteed server time given there
is available spaces with ALL non-*BBC| removed from server; i.e. if EVERYONE in
the server is a *BBC| member and the server is full and another *BBC| member
wants to join in, that member will have to wait until there is another available
spot. If a non-*BBC| member is present during a full server that player will be
asked to leave to permit a *BBC| member to join in and play instead.

4b. Forums Access: All *BBC| members will have access to the MEMBERS Section as
long as they are in good standing. All other password-protected forums will be
restricted to members who are willing to play in that division. If you are not
in that division then there is no reason for you to be posting there. Good
Standing is defined by not having any restrictions whatsoever.

4c. Voting Privileges: Being a member of BBC you all have the right to be
included in any general clan decisions. These will vary and there WILL be cases
where only leaders will be able to vote on a particular topic, however, once a
private decision has been concluded everyone will be immediately notified VIA
Members Forums.

4d. Updated Clan Policies: Every member will be immediately notified of any
policy changes VIA the Forums.



5. Forums: THE FORUMS ARE YOUR SOURCE OF INFORMATION. DO NOT EXPECT US TO NOTIFY
EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT UPDATES, MATCHES, AND SO ON. So, please remember to
check the forums at least every other day to be informed about what is going on
in *BBC|. This does not mean you have to REPLY to all threads in the forums, but
your feedback is expected if it is asked. REMEMBER: We will NOT take your ideas
into consideration if we do not know what they are! So when your input is asked,
and you do not give it to us, do NOT get mad when we make decisions based on
what feedback we DID get that you do not agree with. NO FEEDBACK = NO SAY IN
DECISIONS.



6. Problems and Consequences: Every situation that we (the Leaders) come across
will be personally looked into by an available *BBC| Leader. Punishment will
also be determined by a collective vote with *BBC| Leaders. When a problem
occurs the following will take place:

6a. The situation will be directed to *BBC| Leaders ONLY! If none are available
when a problem occurs you will wait until one becomes available. Situations are
NOT to be discussed publicly unless a *BBC| Leader deems fit. The forums are not
a median to air your dirty laundry so we expect you to keep your mouth shut
until a *BBC| Leader gets a chance to analyze the situation.

6b. After careful consideration and hearing BOTH sides of the story (those
involved will be given a chance to explain themselves) a meeting will proceed
with all *BBC| Leaders to determine punishment.

6c. Punishment will be fair and final! There are no re-trials, no appeals.

6II. Violations and Punishments of *BBC| clan and server policies for NON-*BBC|
players will be dealt with on a situational basis and punishment will be
determined as either restricted forums/server access and/or a
temporary/permanent ban from our forums/server. These will also be directed to
*BBC| Leaders ONLY!



7. Everything Else: Anything that is not pre-determined in this doctrine will be
dealt with on a situational basis. This means that anything not covered in this
document will be discussed and voted on by *BBC| members and/or Leaders and
Amendments will be made.



8. *BBC| is a cheat free clan, and will remain so. If you are a member of *BBC|
don't download cheats, don't install cheats, don't use cheats. We will deal with
each situation swiftly and harshly, we play games to have fun and to have fun
with others in *BBC|. Cheating takes away from the fun and ruins the game for
our members and others.



*Fun - Fun is any attitude that can be construed as, but not limited to,
pleasant, agreeable, or any positive attitude displayed by both *BBC| and
NON-*BBC| members.



**Teamwork - Teamwork is any form of game play where teammates follow directives
given by higher ranking players or anyone willing to take command for that
particular round of game play. This also includes following direct orders,
sticking with your team, and having fun. Remember, there is a time and a place
for being gung-ho! Anything not becoming of teamwork will result in exclusion
from that round of game play by a server admin. !!!NOTE: Teamwork does NOT mean
that you must win every round. If you lose in spite of your teamwork, you can
take pride in the fact that you did your best and that is all that matters. =)




· Sportsmanship: This term is defined as any action becoming of good manners and
good game play. Foul language directed at a player in a demeaning fashion is not
accepted in any way, shape or form. This goes the same for those who provoke
such language. Foul language said in jest or jokingly will be accepted. If a
harsh comment was construed as personal or demeaning then the target of the
comment will be expected to notify the person making the comment before
proceeding to report the situation to a server admin or *BBC| Leader. We will
NOT hear your complaint if there is no basis for argument. All in all, make sure
every player is having a good time. Those who are NOT *BBC| are welcome to leave
if they do not agree with what is going on in the game.





These are our Code of Ethics. They are flexible, but solid. *BBC| Leaders may
"bend" the rules as they see fit and only if the situation allows it and other
*BBC| Leaders agree with said action.
