Dying  Breed

Dying Breed Policy

1. No disrespect. No disrespect with other DB members will be tolerated. If a DB member lets you know that they’re serious and want you to stop talking to them then you are to stop talking to them immediately. If the problem persists refer to rule number 2.

2. If you have a problem with a DB member you are to mute that player and report your problem to one of the leaders immediately. You are not to heighten the tension between yourself and the other player. All problems are to be handled by the leaders and leaders only. There should never be a time when a player finds themself in an open argument online for te rest of the clan to witness. Be adults and Private Message one another in consious attempt to resolve the issue. Do not allow other members, especially new members or potential members, see you in an online argument with a fellow clan member. Obviously it sends a bad message to players. Be adults please and handle your problems in an adult-like manner. 

3. If a DB member is being disrespected by another non-DB member player online than you are expected to defend your clan memebrs. It is preferred that members lessen tensions between online players instead of making problems worse. You never know; the player you are dissing could turn out to be a valued member of the clan in the future. Please do not start trouble between other clans. Allow Leaders to handle situations. 

4. All Officers are expected to change their Gamertag within their first 30 days of promotion to a name that MUST be pre-approved by a leader before changing it. The name should begin with "xDBx " follwed by a single space and the main word you are refered as or a new short name people may call you. It is prefered that members choose a name that has one syllable with no more than 3 syllables. One or two is prefered highly. Ex. "xDBx Flashhy" or "xDBx Prophet" or "xDBx R3ALTALENT".

5. All DB members are to change their XboxOne Bio referencing DyingBreed 2017 and most importantly their Sponsor: KontrolFreek. Check the Bio of another member if you are uncertain of how to make it look. Our Sponsor requests that we do this within our bios. Please take the time. Do not be the reason your clan loses it's sponsorships. There are reps that check for this sort of thing. I want to stress that it is a serious manner. This rule goes for Sponsors. 

6. If you decide that you want to pull your DB membership you are requested to let one of the leaders know and explain the situation. If we are able to prevent you from quiting we will take all possible measures.

7. No clan jumping will be tolerated. Your Clantag is to remain approved during the measure of your membership with Dying Breed and may only be changed if you are kicked or quit.

8. All extensive clan related questions must be answered by qualified officers and leaders only. These may include but are not limited to: Sponsorships, ProGaming, GB, MLG, Technical, Web, Online Presence, Recruitment, and Policy related questions. Please direct them to an online officer, if there is not one available please direct them to a Leader. If no one is available please give contact information or the website so that they may email, ([email protected]) or They can our Human Resources department at (501) 388-7573.

9. Members are expected and required to participate. Any DB member inactive for 30 days will lose their membership. If you are unable to participate we require that you check in with a Leader and let them know your situation so that you will not get kicked. In the event that you are kicked for being absent during a situation that you had no control of (Arrested, Drafted, Death in the family, Kidnapped, Sick, Hospitalized for a coma, or you just happen to get bit by a radioactive spider and have to commit your life to fighting crime in a rubber suit) then you need to plead your case with a leader and you may be given your membership back. A notice is required for an absence of more than two weeks. Also rest assured that there will be a final attempt in reaching out to you before loss of membership is considered. Please stay in touch with your clan and leaders! If you see other members of your clan online it is highly preffered (but not required) that you join them in their game to assist. Everyone likes winning and winning comes by assistance. Also, Online Presence is beneficial to the clan.

10. DB members that cause an excessive amount of trouble may be kicked and even blacklisted if all leaders come to that decision. Players may never again receive DB membership once they have been blacklisted.

11. Any DB member may refer a prospect for recruitment but only a leader may grant membership to a player.

12. All members must read, understand, and follow the DB policy.

13. No gossiping will be tolerated. If another member gossips you are expected to ask that player to stop or report them if it gets out of hand. Private Messaging is required in the event that you have an issue with a player. Keep your drama out of the chat rooms. Sarcasm, rude remarks, and otherwise childish behavior is unecessary and will not be tolerated. The first issue begins the 3 Strike Policy mentioned in rule 16. 

14. No mutiny will be tolerated. Anyone is free to go as they please. If you decide to leave, that is your decision, if players choose to follow you that is their decision but do NOT attempt at bribing ot convincing other players to leave with you. This will result in automatic blacklistment for you and all players involved in the mutiny. 

15. A player may no attend a practice if they are under the influence of Alcohol or Drugs. It causes too many problems and players are unable to properly focus on the game play. If a player is drunk or high they may be asked to leave that days practice. Also, further disciplinary measures may be taken depending on the intensity of situations that may occur. These measures are at the will of the 3 Leaders with or without the counsel of witnessing officers and are in conjunction with the 3 Strike Policy (Rule 16).

16. DB has a strict 3 Strike Policy. The first action taken on a player for an issue will be a verbal coaching. The next step will be a verbal coaching and 1 day suspension for each offense. The next step will be a verbal coaching and 3 day suspension. The next step will be a verbal coaching and a 7 day suspension. The final step will be a loss of membership if unanimously decided by all three leaders or in a necessary case, the majority of leaders. 

17. A player who has lost membership may receive membership once again if unanimosly decided by all three leaders. Also note that in extreme cases where a player that continous to cause issues after the fact that they have lost membersip may be placed on a Blacklist, meaning that you may never again recieve membership. This decision is made by all three leaders.

18. No player may be discriminated against based on Race, Religion, Policitcal View, Life Style Choices, Language, or any other characteristic individualizing them. Please abstain from using hurtful slang such as "faggot", "nigger", "bible thumper", "cracker", etc. If you cannot maintain an open mind and enjoy certain topics with your fellow clan members than it is prefered that you exclude yourself from them. However these large topics are not against the rules to discuss. Do not tell a player they are not allow to discuss race, religion, or politics etc. Simply mute a player if you're unable to act maturely within the confines of the conversation. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and the wonderful thing about being human is there are so many different beliefs out there each with a justifiable means of self preservation. Be humble enough to enjoy a unique coversation with someone without becoming offended or offensive. 

Rules broken and brought to the attention of the leaders may result in the kick and possible blacklistment of members. Rules and Policies may be edited, added, and/or removed pending future events as needed by Leaders only.
