<-M.a.B-> Constitution
<-M.a.B-> are one of the oldest and most
respected FPS gaming clans. We provide a number of servers which host MoHAA, CoDUO, CoD
2, Battlefield 2.
Finance is provided by the Subbies who pay for
the day to day running of the servers and are the pool of resource from which
the clan officers are chosen.
We aim to provide a safe reliable gaming environment for all
members/guests. Hopefully you will develop friendships and learn a little about
your favourite game. Enjoy your stay and happy gaming.
<-M.a.B->Subbie
Members (paying membership)
Subbies pay for the
servers, have the right to vote and to stand as an officer of the clan. These rights are granted in return for cold,
hard cash as we find that trying to pay for the servers with promises and
goodwill just doesn’t work. However not
just anyone can become a subbie, money can’t buy this
type of membership, you need to have proved your worth to the clan and the
existing subbies over a sustained period of
time. Anyone can apply to become a subbie but only those that are chosen by the other subbie’s actually are allowed to enter the inner sanctum
that runs the clan for the good of all.
Any voting required within the clan will
be posted as a poll within the subbie section of the
forums, majority vote wins. In the event
of a draw another poll will need raised.
On urgent votes, polls will be carried out by a show of lights in TS.

<-M.a.B->Server Admins (SA)
All subbies have Server Admin authority, they are expected to
share the day to day ‘in-game’ administration of the clan servers:
Policing the
game server via rcon
Reporting any
ban's via the forums
Promote recruitment
of appropriate players
Management of
TS users where required
Server Admins
will be recognised in TS by the addition of SA after there names, all subbies have SA status.
<-M.a.B->Members
The Role of
the <-M.a.B-> member is to
simply to be online and play as much as possible, attend training whenever
possible and to promote a good gaming atmosphere on the server.
<-M.a.B->Inactivity
The Clan reserves the right to remove
any member of <-M.a.B-> for inactivity. If you
know that you are going to be absent for a period of time, let us know. If you are going to be unavoidably detained
by Her Majesty, let us know. We love and
cherish all our members and miss them terribly when they go astray, by letting
us know that you wont be about you ensure that we don’t get those feelings of
dejection and rejection.
Naturally this rule doesn’t apply to subbies
(as long as they continue to pay) we find that cash never offends and that the
monthly payment keeps any feeling of rejection at bay.
<-M.a.B->Recruits
<-M.a.B->
enforce a strict recruitment policy which is stringent yet strangely
appealing. All new members are subjected
to a trial period (Usually 30 days but its dependent on attendance on the
servers, forum and TS) during which time it is assessed whether the applicant
is made of the ‘right stuff’. We don’t
accept under 16’s unless they are the offspring of a current adult member (If
they were the offspring of a junior member we would be surprised and shocked
and not know where to look when the subject was raised). Recruiting is by invitation only and even
then can only be made after an appropriate post in the ‘Join Us’ section of the
forums.
The actual role of the recruit is
similar to that of the member. They
should keep in touch with clan activity and show high levels of gaming and
forum activity. Once you have reached
the time to become a full member a Recruitment Officer will inform you and also
upgrade your forum access level. 
<-M.a.B->Behaviour
We are a family clan who want to play in
an atmosphere which is appropriate for all our members as such we do not
tolerate in the forums or on the game servers:
Swearing, including abbreviations and euphemisms
Disruptive Activity
Any Form of Racism
Disrespect of, or to, the individual
Cheating accusations
Flaming
Trolling
Some of these areas are subjective and
Clan Admin will initially warn offenders that their behaviour is causing
offence, if necessary repeat offenders will be removed from the clan and their
rights revoked.
If a member is involved the following
actions will generally be followed although the admin can escalate as
appropriate:
1. A written request to immediately
cease whatever is causing the problem will be sent to all parties involved.
2. In event of the problem continuing,
the Admin Team will try and get the parties involved for a meeting in Team
Speak and attempt to reach a mutual agreement. The decisions taken at this
meeting will be final.
3. If the situation still continues,
then action will be taken to stop the problem(s). This may include any or all
the following;
a)
A ban from TeamSpeak and/or Matches
b) A temporary
ban of one or more members.
c) A reduction in status i.e. from
Member to Guest.
d) Removal from the clan.
If a non-member is causing offence then
again they will be warned (Admin reserve the right to ban immediately if the
offence warrants it) and if the warnings are not heeded the non-member will be
banned from the servers and/or the forums.
<-M.a.B->Matchplay/Leagues
The Clan Captains and War Arranger (WA)
will enter the clan into Leagues where we will play other clans,
in addition we will play friendlies from time to
time.
You should ‘meet’ 15 minutes prior to
matches in TS where the captain will choose the team for the match. All those who put themselves forward for the
match MUST be able to play for the duration of the entire match.
During all matches the following clan
standards will apply:
a) No cheat accusations or slurs will be made
against opponents, it damages the reputation of the clan and is unacceptable
(If you have had serious doubts about another player please post within the
members area after the match describing your thoughts, Clan Admin will take
appropriate action).
b) Listen to your appointed Captain and follow
instructions given (Ideally you will have learnt the clan tactics while
attending training).
c) Appropriate Clan Tags to be worn at all times
(See separate section which covers how to display them correctly).
d) TS to be
used and appropriate communication is needed to ensure
that the team know what is happening in your part of the map (Again, See
separate section which covers how to use it correctly).
e) Never join
a TS match channel when a game is underway, no one wants to hear you ask ‘have
you started yet?’ or ‘can I play?’ or any other inane question you might have
dreamt up.
<-M.a.B->Tags
When playing on <-M.a.B->
or any other servers, your clan tags shall be correctly displayed. Getting your
tags is considered an honour and you should treat them in the appropriate
manner. They should be displayed as
follows:
Medal of Honor:
<-M.a.B->Nickname
Or
<-M.a.B->Nickname.Rct
Or
<-M.a.B->Nickname.Jnr
Call of Duty: United Offensive/Call of Duty 2
NOTE:
When playing call of duty it is essential that you colour your <-M.a.B-> Tags correctly. The current tag colours are
green (^2) for <-M.a.B-> and red (^1) for your
nickname.
^2<-M.a.B->^1Nickname
Or
^2<-M.a.B->^1Nickname.Rct
Or
^2<-M.a.B->^1Nickname.Jnr
Please Note: Correctly configured CoD:UO/CoD2 tags
will appear as <-M.a.B->Nickname in the
scores/stats display. Names appearing as ^2<-M.a.B->^1Nickname look untidy
and must be changed.
<-M.a.B->Teamspeak
Teamspeak is the voice
tool of choice at <-M.a.B->, it allows players
to discuss or adjust tactics, exchange banter, communicate with other clans and
contact Admins quickly and easily and its free!!. Many members use
TS as it adds to the enjoyment of gaming and enhances the clan overall as
friendships develop. Server Admins will generally try
and be around on TS during the day to assist in any problems which may arise.
When using TS, the public lobby is
exactly that, a lobby for the use of the general public. Use the game Channels.
It defeats the object of having other channels and is inconsiderate to just sit
in the public lobby
Teamspeak should be
set up for ‘PUSH TO TALK’, voice activated TS usage is not permitted as it
causes disruption and no one wants to hear your expletives/sighs/crying/heavy
breathing when you are fragged/killed/bashed by more
talented players.
In order to play in a match you MUST
have TS set up and running correctly. Never join a match channel and speak
during the round as it may cause disruption.
Please remember that while TS should be
operated as ‘push to talk’ this does not mean that it is acceptable to have TV/music/radio
blaring in the background, most members don’t want to
hear your eclectic musical tastes.
However much we might want to listen to your beautiful voice we can do
without the Gregorian chanting/screaming banshee/howling wolf/stuck
pig/enthusiastic partner in the background.
Remember TS is also for public use and youngsters may be online,
However we do suggest that children who
may be offended do not use TS after 10 O` Clock pm as Members may be oiled by
then and verbalise in colloquials
Finally, you must not, kick, mute or ban
anyone without good cause.
Registering With Teamspeak
1. ask any TS Server Admin (SA) to grant 'Registration
Permission'
2. go to the self menu and click Register with server
3. type in your name (as it currently is on TS) and
your own personal password
4. be sure to exit Teamspeak
using the Quit function in the Connect menu
5. next time you access Teamspeak,
ensure that within your local address book (under connection > Connect) you
check the 'registered' box and apply your username/password.
Note: changing your name may also void your registration until you change it
back.
Teamspeak Rules
You should also be aware that there are certain rules and etiquette that are
enforced.
* Respect other players at all times
* No Swearing is permitted
* No verbal abuse intended to cause offence is permitted
* No Vulgar noises and/or activities are permitted
* No 'Open' mic is permitted, ALL members MUST use
the push to talk function
* Use of the 'Kick' function is only permitted with just and fair cause
* Move players from room to room in a responsible and respectful manner, server
Admins may move a player or players from a game
channel at any time without permission as needed.
* Do not allow non-<-M.a.B->members into rooms
other than the public rooms or another temporary channel.
* Guests found in temporary channels without a <-M.a.B->
member present may be questioned and possibly asked to leave (
or risk being kicked).
<-M.a.B->Server Contributions
The <-M.a.B->
servers are paid for by the subbies, however we
welcome displays of gratitude and monetary contributions are always accepted
and cherished, those that give gain our respect and admiration. This being
said, donations do not give special privileges within the clan and are always
kept anonymous To
make a donation contact any admin for details.
<-M.a.B->Forum Signatures
Signatures:
- 400 x
100 pixels
- animated
allowed
- for now no max size, we expect people to keep it reasonable
We will allow 3 lines underneath a sig
(this for quotes and that sort of things)
OR
for the people that want to show their xfire,
there is a Miniprofile called: 'Short and Wide'
which is 450
x 34 pixels
Anyone outside these guidelines may have
their signature code removed and replaced with a message stating why and how to
fix etc.
Cheating
We do not tolerate any form of cheating
on our servers. Cheating defeats the
object of the games we play, we despise the small minded, incapable creatures who can only ‘win’ by cheating and delight in banning them
wherever possible.
Any member who has been caught cheating
will be removed from the clan without further notice. Any player who is caught
cheating will also be named and shamed on our forums,
they will be banned from the forums and the servers, never to return.
Where there is the opportunity to impose
a ban via Punkbuster the cheaters details will be
passed to Evenbalance to ensure the imposition of a
global ban.
The clan SA staff reserve the right to
screenshot any member or member of the public at any time while on the server.
This is NOT an accusation of cheating, but helps us protect the integrity of
the clan. Visitors who are screen shotted will be
told honestly that we occasionally check our own members at random.
Your assistance during any screen shots
is greatly appreciated.
Failure to provide screenshots could
result in removal from <-M.a.B->
