[Gypsyfly PMS]

I just wanted to take moment to welcome all gaming communities to PMSClan.com. You're all free to roam and check out our handbook and rules. We love to see you fill our forums with meaningful posts and updating us about events in our Event Section. Please make sure to read all posted rules and guidelines. It's generally a good idea to read a few posts first to get a "feeling" for the community. When you're ready to post make an Introduction thread and say hi!

If you see something you like by all means use it as a guide to help build your community. We would definitely appreciate it if you stated where you took your structure and ideas from though. This by all means is not an invitation to plagiarize our handbook, or copy us in every way. However, we are very open with how our clan and organization is structured and run. If you want questions or advice ask in our General section, we have a ton of folks from other clans or people not in a clan at all, regardless all of us in the community can give you advice.

Again, if you use something or borrow something from PMS (not our names, logos, or slogans, trademarks obviously), please remember to acknowledge us. We usually find out if you don't ; )

In order to build a flourishing and enduring community you need to have your own identity to keep the interest of your members. And in order to have any luck with sponsorship to grow that community and build incentives for your members you definitely need something of your own to attract attention.

Ethical Standards of Personal Responsibility

PMS|H2O Clan expects that its Members act with the highest ethical standards while conducting Clan business. Doing the right thing and acting with integrity are the two driving forces behind both the PMS Clan’s success and the H2O Clan’s main purpose. When faced with ethical issues, Members are expected to make a professional decision, consistent with PMS|H2O Clan’s principles and standards or they may be susceptible to immediate termination from the clan.
All Members of PMS|H2O Clan are to always play fair.
There is to be no cheating/glitching of any kind.
This includes but is not limited to:

• Using cheat codes
• Using a modified console to obtain access to software or services without paying
• Stand-bying, bridging, or ANY other form of interfering with another Gamer's connectivity.
• Allowing another gamer to use a Clan OR Personal Gamertag|Tag|Handle to increase in-game rank or unlock achievements/trophies.

If Members are caught cheating, or knowingly participating in a game where other people on the team were cheating, it may result in immediate membership termination from PMS Clan Inc.

• If Members find themselves in this situation, they are required to immediately quit the game and report the situation to their direct Leader.

We thank you for registering on our forums, however we do not appreciate you taking the information posted by our recruits for our divisions and using it to recruit for your clans and teams.

Not only is it disrespectful to us it's disrespectful to the recruits who you harass on line with a constant stream of invites and your clan recruitment spiel.

We understand the difficulties recruiting especially if you're a new clan, however we work very hard to protect our recruits. And understand we worked hard for the recruits we gained, so all clans can definitely do the same. We suggest going to Xbox.com or other forums that allow clan recruitment and posting there.

If we find that you are recruiting off our forum, harassing our girls, or promoting your clan in order to recruit you will simply be banned. You are still allowed to have your clan sig (within your sig requirements), but that's about it.

I just want to make a quick announcement that honestly I wish I didn't have to make and make sure you all understand that despite the fact that we are a little more liberal with people and threads, this is still an open and friendly community. Rude reply's and general hostile behavior to other community members will NOT be tolerated.

With an influx of new members and a slight apathetic wave that seems to be moving through our community, it saddens me to see an increase of rude posts and less welcoming posts.

• Your post WILL be removed by leaders, mods, or admins if found to be rude or hostile to other members.

• Don't be a troll, flamer, or general forum griefer just to get attention or show how "different" or "unique" you are. It's old and looks pretty tacky.

• Don't think you're a privileged community member because you're a former clan member/leader/or Admin/leader favorite. All staff members have friends in the community. But trust me when I say there will be no special treatment here if you violate forum rules. If a leader/mod/admin is found giving special privileges in any way, they will be dealt with as well.

• If you find a consistent hostile poster ignore their post and just report it.

• If you are a clan member that is a hostile poster, note that there may be more severe repercussions that involve your division status. I suggest not jeopardizing your future in the clan for a little attention, if you're having a bad day, or just to join another persons bandwagon.

• If you the OP(original poster) and you're friends with the person being hostile or it's an inside joke..please make that clear in the post and understand if we don't know what's going on, it will just be removed. So if you don't want your friend looking like a jerk, let us know.
