Ranks & Banks

Howdy,

I want to make sure Slashcamp stays cool. Traditionally we've put fun first, insisted upon an egalitarian structure with no one "in charge" of anyone else, maintained positive and polite communication (Guild/Party chat, Message of the Day etc.) and tried to recruit only mature players who can stand on their own, are trustworthy, unselfish and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

In other words, we've been a decentralized and happy rabble who are good to each other and don’t give a shit about digital wealth nor status. And that's how it's going to stay.

Banks & Ranks

Exceptions have cropped up, however. We’ve had a few nuisance toons that whine for gold or too much help. We have had a rash of dishonest players and hacked accounts trash our bank repeatedly. As we grow we expose ourselves to problem people more and more. To fix this, we have got to take a longer look at potential recruits and we can't leave the bank wide open anymore.

We need stuff for leveling, Heroics and raiding, which means we need a thriving bank. Guildies need to feel like what they put in the bank is reasonably safe and will be used by the right people. In order to build trust and minimize damage to our bank we will limit the number of withdrawals per day for each tab. If an account gets hacked or the player is dishonest, they'll only be able to take so much. Also, some of the tabs will be withdrawal only. Instead of people dumping whatever anywhere, there will be two In/Out tabs and two Out Only tabs. The tabs are to be divided like this:

Leveling Tabs
Tab 1: Deposit/Withdrawal of sub70 items (except blue and epic items)
Tab 2: Withdrawal only of sub70 mats, buffs and green items.
Heroic & Raid Tabs
Tab 3. Deposit/Withdrawal of 70+ items, mats and raid buffs.
Tab 4. Withdrawal only of 70+ mats, buffs and all blue/epic items.

Who has access and how much?!
Toons designations:
NCO -- Totally new or unknown people. Yay! They get to withdraw from tabs 1&2, some gold as well as pay for some repairs. Very limited.

Officer -- Toons that aren't raid ready and don't need access to the raid materials but are a trusted part of the guild. They can withdraw items, gold and pay for repairs.

Heavy Hitters -- Toons that are raid ready or known and vouched for. Access to raid level items and buffs - but only so many a day. Maximum gold withdrawal of 100 per day, namely to cover repairs. Repair function turned off so it's not easy to use. Withdraw gold to pay for repairs, sure but it ain't automatic.

O.G. -- Long term guildies, old friends or toons for the Naaru have spoken up for. I can't be on all the time and someone needs to be able to move things around the bank, withdraw big chunks and deal with problem toons/accounts in an emergency. I still am the only person who can kick people out, however, an O.G. can give a problem toon the Internal Exile designation.

Internal Exile -- No guild chat, message or bank privileges. Reserved for toons that have acted like an ass or might be dishonest.

You may notice the same account has toons in different ranks. Good for you. Anyway,
we’ll see how this works. I suspect we'll make modifications to this and I’d like to hear constructive criticism, suggestions or far out ideas.

Next up will be recruiting, ventrilo and regular guild news communication.

Thanks,

Ardent.
