1. Cheating

a. No cheating in ladder matches

b. No cheating in friendly games

Cheating gives the clan a bad reputation. Members caught cheating will be dealt with severely.

2. The chain of command

a. Follow the commands of the higher ranks.

b. Respect the Admin Regime, and they will respect you.

c. The clan join passwords are not to be distributed without authorisation from a member of the Admin Regime.

Having a good friendly relationship with higher ranks in the clan may further your position in the clan. Remember, they can recommend your promotion or even your removal.

3. Inactivity

Long and unexplained periods of inactivity are not acceptable.

We need our members online and able to play as often as possible, especially members of the Admin Regime.

4. Clan Matching

a. Give free wins only when Kapoks have won a match unfairly (e.g. cheating).

b. Keep any losing streaks to a minimum.

Despite being second to having a good time playing with others, performance in clan matches is still relatively important. A good set of results will help maintain our reputation, making Kapoks a better clan in the long run.

5. Social Behaviour

a. Do not give the clan a bad name by abusing those that do not deserve to be abused.

b. Do not abuse other members of the clan.

c. Keep to the rules of the Kapoks Forums (stated here).

Not only do we need our players to play at a high level, we also prefer them to communicate appropriately with others. Bad attitudes are not acceptable.

6. Player nicknames

a. Members may only have one nickname in the clan at any one time.

b. If a member has another nickname in another clan, they must still treat our clan with the same amount of respect.

Slots in the clan must not be wasted by members with more than one nickname. We do not promote "multi-clanning" but we will tolerate it just so long as we are treated with the same amount of respect.
