I'm creating a new page to summarize the guild based off of Soul Tear's original rules and such page, but updated with a few things that have been added. It's a work in progress but hopefully it'll help make the guild policies and things easier for new members to understand and condense things so we can delete a few announcements or at least send them to the Archives so the front page looks better or at least cleaner.

Handed down straight from our founder and original captain here are the original rules and regulations of the guild which I have decided should be kept basically in their original form, with a few of my added comments.

Rules and Regulations

1. No Ignorance. Try to keep posts and writing relatively intelligible and readable.
2. No Fighting. Good humored teasing and occasional disagreement or argument is fine (Refer to Spooky Story Contest Thread in Archives), but harrassment and serious personal attacks will not be tolerated.
3. Minimize Swearing. Literary use of swearing in writing is perfectly acceptable but unnecessary swearing and vulgarity in responses and some activities is not.
4. Stay Active! I kid you not, that is one of Soul Tear's rules so you better start obeying it.
5. Reduce Clutter. Every member is entitled to post a topic for writings in the Journals subforum. Separate postings of writings should be minimized.

Consequences

1. Notice of CorruptionEither public or private depending on situation.
2. PM
3. Name on Suspension List Once on Suspension List actions your actions will be monitored and criticized more harshly and later offenses after removal could result in return to Suspension faster.
4. Expulsion

Suspension List
Empty as always, thankfully.

Affiliations

The guild currently has two affiliates. Affiliations are essentially partnerships between guilds of similar interests to aid both guilds. A pooling of resources of sorts. We advertise for them, they advertise for us. Also, I'm hoping to start involving them in guild contests.
