New Games

In order for new games to be introduced into WN, it must first be approved by Development.
• As a basic guideline the game must first obtain 10 new primary members to officially start. Once it is approved and added, it has 1 to 2 months to increase membership to the required Development minimum of 18.
• Time allowed is determined by Development.
• Once 18 are obtained the Development department will then decide when it will be released as a fully supported section and who the initial game leader will be.

Existing Games

Games supported by WN are required to hold a minimum of 15 primary members with an unlimited maximum. Any game that falls below 15 primary members will be placed on probation. They will remain on probation for 30-60 days. They are expected to raise membership to 15 or more primary members. If they fail to increase to 15 primary members by the deadline set forth, they risk being discontinued as a game by WN. These numbers are determined by rollcall.

All games will be appointed an Admin Support contact for any and all assistance. They also have the authority to appoint game leaders within their supported sections.

Experience It!

WN has several ways that game servers are provided. Either directly by WN financial support or by a member solely managing the server. All members are expected to treat all members and guests on public servers with respect. No member shall flame or tease unknown members because of their skill. Keep in mind all guests are potential new recruits.

- All members are required to wear their WNx tag while playing in all private and/or public WN Game Servers.

- No one with admin authority shall abuse the rights they have by banning or kicking without just cause (this includes kicking or banning as a joke). A member who hosts or pays for a dedicated server on their own is not excluded from these rules if the server is used as a WN supported server.

1) Keep any chitchat, music or other distracting sounds out of channel unless it is admitted by all members in said channel. If a member has an issue with another member's activity on TS, they can contact an SA or PM an administrator if none are on TS at the time. A recording of the problem is also helpful as evidence.

2) All WN members on TS MUST bear their WNx name. No short forms or odd nicks will be allowed. Members that are not in WN may use an untagged or their clan associated tag nick.

3) Every supported game will have a channel. Some non-game channels are also available at an admin's discrepancy. Excessive channels on TS are not allowed. If the unsupported channel lies dormant for a pre specified period of time it shall be deleted.

4) The giving and removing of voice rights, channel commander and any other such thing shall be regulated. Any excessive overuse will be dealt with through a warning then additional discipline if continued.

5) When whispering you need to identify yourself so the person on the receiving end will know who to respond to. Most are in games and may not be looking at the TS panel.

6) Access

Administrators are given Server Admin Access
Game leaders are given Channel admin for the game they support.
Non-game channels hold no Channel admin's.

7) Moving Members

Members may be moved by an admin to another channel. They are required to obtain permission first. Permission is not required if a member is moved for disruptions.

View Point Legend

Allied Clans are treated with the same respect that members of Warrior Nation™ are treated. Members of allied clans are invited to play all games that each clan supports. Allied clans will support each other in times of war and also in friendly clan vs. clan games. During clan vs. clan matches, if one clan needs members to fill their roster, members from the allied clan may participate as substitutes.

Neutral Clans are treated with the same respect that members of Warrior Nation™ are treated. Members of neutral clans are invited to play all games that each clan supports. This is highly encouraged because the better each clan gets to know each other, the more reason to forge an alliance.

Enemies happen over the course of time, Warrior Nation™ has made allies and enemies. We have found that those without honor find themselves on our enemy list very quickly. Those on this list are open targets. (Under no circumstances are actions to result in illegal hacking of an enemy's sites, servers or channels).

- X-WN Created or X-WN dominated clans must obtain a 5 Star Generals authorization to be in alliance with Warrior Nation™

Honorable Discharge
Any member resigning on good terms. This grants eligibility to return to WN in the future, however there is a 30 day waiting period from the day you take HD or LOA before you can return. Once your account is purged from the system (generally 60-75 days after departure), you forfeit any awards or medals previously earned.

Dishonorable Discharge
Any member that is banned for breaking laws or disruptive conduct. Any member resigning with after effect flaming, bad mouthing, negative or destructive behavior towards WN or its members can and will be changed from Honorable to Dishonorable status.
This disallows return to WN for a minimum period of 6 months, at which time the banned member may apply and have the JC review the case. re-admintance is by no means guaranteed and subject to a 30 day evaluation period. All past awards and medals are permanently forfeited upon your dishonorable discharge and not returnable in the event you are readmitted to WN.

If you do not post on the forums for 60+ days regardless whether you casted rollcall, regardless of what rank you hold, your account will be flagged inactive and deleted. The only exceptions to deletion for inactive accounts are those on official leave of absence when an admin manually flags the account to be on leave thus making it non-deletable

If a new member registers, gets approved and does not post within the first 10 days, it will be flagged as abandoned and deleted. If an account resides in the approval queue for 10 days it will be rejected and deleted.

We strive to ensure our registered members stats reflect the true number of active members within our community. We do not keep old accounts for any reason. Resigned and banned accounts also fall into this category and after 60 days are deleted.

No Guarantees!

Any section may chose to create a web site supporting their section and have the ability to host it on the WN server as a sub domain.

Sub domains appear as such, i.e. battlefield2.warriornation.net or diablo.warriornation.net.

In order to qualify, your support web site must be at least 90% completed. It will be assumed you already know how to make a web site without any teachings. You also will need to upload your site to any other source for verification, i.e. a free hosting place, your own ISP host, or anywhere you can upload it for review. Quality of content will be measured higher than quality of design in approvals.

You must contact WNxWakko for review and approval.

Once your site has been approved, you will be provided with login details in order to upload your support site to a WN Sub domain. Once it is verified as uploaded, a link will be added to the WN home page so it will be easily accessible.

Personal sites unrelated to WN are not allowed on the WN servers.

Spam is a post/thread that contains irrelevant or useless information or is off-topic from the original post/forum.

Common Examples of Spam:

• Anything that apparently is designed to increase post count only.
• A post that is off-topic from the starter of the thread.
• A thread that is off-topic from the forum. (Note that a thread that is off-topic to a particular forum may not be spam, some sections allow topics that really don't pertain to the game, this is somewhat accepted. If there is a thread started that is so off-topic that it just shouldn't be there, either move it, close it, or both and report it).
• Testing things out on the forums (sigs/avas/forum features, etc) is spam, unless done in Tilly's Cantina.
• Double posting.
• Reviving an old, dead thread unless the response adds value and relevancy to the issue.
• Every 1000 posts, members are allowed to post about their post counts in Tilly's. Otherwise it's spam.
• Cross-posting (posting identical content to multiple threads).

• It isn't directed at another member, guest or ally of Warrior Nation.
• There isn't a section policy against it.
• It isn't excessive.

• Pornographic images or links to pornographic sites.
• A verbal or graphical assault directed at another member, guest or ally of Warrior Nation.
• Discussing or linking to illegal and malicious software, tutorials or websites.
• Racial and prejudice slurs directed at a member, ally or guest of Warrior Nation, regardless of their parentage.
