IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR MEMBERSHIP:
There you will see the "Apply To Guild " Button. Please follow the instructions to apply.
At any time you may return to http://chaos-legion.guildlaunch.com, Public Forums Application section to check on the status of your app. If you see your application is not there, this means it has moved and started the review process.

MEMBER ACCESS TO FORUMS:
Go to Apply to Guild Link to sign up for a username if you don't already have one. Use your main character name if possible when creating your Guild Launch account - it saves a lot of confusion later on.

GUILD RULES:
1 -All members and potential members will treat each other with the utmost respect.

2 -There is a structure utilizing officers and various ranks. Respect the chain of command.

3 –HAVE FUN!

4 -We are here for each other, not for the individual.

5 -We do not tolerate begging, constant whining, Ninja looting, or belligerence.

6 -Keep guild chat PG. We have young members and families that don't appreciate foul language.

7 -Ventrillo is not your personal playground. Do not give the info out unless OK'd by an officer.

8 -Help your guildies when they need it. They will help you in turn, or most likely they already have.

9 -If you are in violation of these rules and regulations, you will be warned for first offenses. Second offenses will earn you a boot/demotion or reprimand depending on the seriousness of the situation.

10 -Returning to the guild. If you leave on good terms, you may return at any time. If you are removed from our ranks, reparations may be required, amongst other things. Some violations are inexcusable, and will merit you a permanent ban.

11 -If you do receive any punishment for violating any rules and regulations, take it with as much dignity as possible. Chances are, it is minor and will be forgotten soon enough.

Please note these rules are subject to change

RAID REQUIREMENTS:
The following items have become mandatory and are needed for raids. Links to obtain these tools and instruction for installing them are posted in detail on the members forum.

KTM Threatmeter can be found at curse-gaming.com

Ventrilo can be found at ventrilo.com

Please note this list is subject to change and the topic can be found as sticky posts in the forums for reference

RAID RULES AND GUIDELINES:
These Rules and Guidelines are here to help us advance as a guild. They are not intended to give you a reason to point your finger at someone. We have shown that with teamwork we can succeed anywhere and with these in place we will move up even faster. We have the skills, now let’s get organized so that all of the NPC's in WoW will fear us.

While it is unfortunate that we must impose punishment for abusing or ignoring these Rules and Guidelines, it is necessary for us to continue to improve and succeed as a guild. It only takes 1 person not following these to create a wipe or a complete raid failure.

BEING ON TIME -
Please be on time for the raid. The posted start time for the raid is when the raid should start. NOT when you should log and begin heading to the raid area. If you cannot make it on time then contact an officer and let them know ahead of time that you will be late. If possible, log yourself out at the designated raid area so you are there and ready when you login. If you require a summon to attend a raid, you may be required to donate 3 gold to the guild bank. This donation will be used to supply raids.

CHATTER RAID MODE -
Keep talking in /say, /raid, or /emotes down to a minimum. We need to do this to have the raid run smooth and efficient. Talking creates spam and shows that you are not paying attention which is the biggest killer of any raid. During encounters the raid leader is the only one that should be talking in Vent or /Raid unless the situation arises or you are asked to speak.

FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS -
The raid leader will give directions for EVERY raid encounter. If you don't listen and follow his directions, we wipe. If you are afk you will miss directions, If you need to go afk, speak in /party or class channel and let others know. If you do not understand the directions you were given, you need to /whisper an officer or the raid assistant handling this issue. DO NOT attack before the all ready call. If an individual refuses to follow directions, they will be removed from the raid and replaced by someone who will.

LOOT -
What are we going to do here??

REZZING -
If you die, DO NOT ask for a rez. Our healers are well aware and you will be resurrected in due time.

POTIONS -
If you can it is appreciated if you donate materials or potions for raids. If you cannot then maybe a small donation of gold to help purchase them as they do not come cheaply. Bring your own if possible, as it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves.

REPAIR BOTS -
These are essential for any raid. Helping those that can make them by providing materials will greatly ease the cost for them. Again, everybody benefits from these so let’s help them get made.

REAGENTS -
If you rely on reagents for spells and or buffs, make sure you have them before the raid begins. A donation to the guild bank will help ease the cost for those that use reagents on raids. In the end we want to have fun, get some gear and advance on to bigger and better things.
These Rules and Guidelines should help us attain the discipline needed to accomplish this.
Please note these rules are subject to change.

Application Sample

Once the app is under review it will be removed from this forum. So if you do not see it you know it has begun the approval process. After review, your app will then be moved to either "Application Accepted" or "Application Denied" so be sure to check the forums regularly. There is no need to post a second application.

Using the information below (cut and paste items 1-12) and please start a new post in this forum for your application.

1) Game Name:
2) Class:
3) Level:
4) Race:
5) What are you Attuned to?

7) Sponsor(s) if any:

10) Previous guild(s), if any, and reasons for leaving?:
11) What can you do to help our guild's success?:
12) Age and something about yourself: NON WOW RELATED.

Welcome and thank you for hosting your guild with Guild Launch!

This post is intended to orient you to the major features of Guild Launch guild hosting.

Guild Creator Special Status
The guild creator is automatically added to the guild and cannot have any rights taken away nor can the guild admin be deleted from the guild.

How to Add Users to Your Guild
There are two ways a user can join your guild.

1. Using a Launch Code
2. The application process

Regardless of which process they use every member must create a Guild Launch account and submit the application.
The Launch Code just allows the user to be added to the guild and bypass the 'acceptance' step in the application process.

Existing Members
The best way to get existing members into your guild is to use a Launch Code.
A Launch Code is a password that allows an applicant to skip the application process
and automatically join the guild. If the user does not use a launch code their application
will have to be approved by a guild admin.

New Members
New members can use a launch code, if you give it to them, or they can go through the application
process. If they go through the application process then their membership will have to be approved
by a guild admin.

The full process to get someone into the guild through the application process is:
1. Go to your guildsite URL. That is the URL in the browser window starting with "http://".
2. Click the "Apply to Guild" link on the left side.
2a. If the user already has an account they will see the application form.
2b. If the user does not have an account they will be able to create an account and then your guild's application will be displayed to them.
3. The user then submits the application.
4. The application will appear on the guild's Approve Applications area of the MEMBERS tab in the Guild Admin area.
5. The guild admin must approve the application.
5a. (Optional) If the member is an officer or you have created other security groups then add them to the
Officer group when you accept them so they can see the officer forum.
6. The user is now a member of your guild!

How to Set Your Launch Code
Click on "Admin" at the top right of the screen. Then Click on the "Members" tab, then click on "Recruiting Status" from the left side navigation. Your guild's unique Launch Code can be set on that screen.

Guild Announcements
This post is a guild announcement, a unique feature of Guild Launch which allows you to make posts in your forums and have them appear on your homepage. You can edit the announcement settings by clicking on the admin link in the upper right corner and navigating to the COMMUNICATION Tab.

Once there you can turn this feature off or change the number of posts to show, set a date range, etc. If you would like to just remove this post you can get to it by going to the "News" forum or clicking the "(View Post)" link. Once you are at the post you can delete this post outright, or you can choose to make it a regular post as opposed to an announcement.

How to Change Templates
We hope you like our default template, but many guilds want their own identitiy. If you would like to change your template go to the admin area from the top right and then click on CONTENT OPTIONS then click on "Change Site Template" on the left navigation. A page will load with a dropdown that lets you browse the available templates. When you see one that you like click "Set" and that will become your guild's template.

Forums
We have created the following forums for you as a starting point:

News - Where this post is posted. An admin can delete or modify this post or add new ones.
Member Discsussion - This a forum that only guild members can post in.
Officer Discussion - This is a forum that only members of the "Officers" security group can post in. When a new guild is created the only member of the officer group (and the only member of the guild in fact) is the guild creator.
