Policies

EGS has 30 day policy that restricts any new member from joining that has been in a community/clan in the last 30 days.

Exceptions can be made for the following two reasons:

  1. We have a community transfer set up with the previous community. If this is the case, then it must go through the President of EGS and the community leader of their past clan.
  2. The community waives the 30 day policy. If this is the case, then the High Council will handle the case.

24 Hour Policy

-We understand that regrets may be had after leaving EGS. If that is the case, you may rejoin and retain your rank within 24 hours of leaving, as long as, you left on good terms and was in good standing at your rank.

Hosting/rescheduling policy:

An event has to be replaced or rescheduled within 2 hours of its scheduled time.

Membership Revoked Policy- Membership revoked means that you can associate with the community, but are not a part of the community and not allowed in the Discord server. You no longer are available to become a member of EGS. A membership revoke should be implemented if someone is poaching, breaks the Code of Conduct severely, or causes major issues in the community or Discord server.

Appealing your revoked membership- A revoked member will not have access to the Discord, he or she must have a EGS member submit a membership revoked appeal form found in the Discord server on their behalf. Be sure to have a witness on call, just in case. The High Council will then decide on ruling. If denied, you must wait 6 months to reapply. 

Do Not Hire (DNH) Policy- DNH means that you have been removed from EGS membership and shouldn’t be recruited back, but you are allowed to be in the Discord server. This is for minor multiple offenses, leaving/joining too many times, drama, too many warnings, etc.

Appealing your DNH- A DNH’d member should fill out a MR/DNH form found in the Discord server. Have a witness read, just in case. The HC will then decide on the ruling. If denied, you must wait 6 months to reapply.

Membership Return Policy

You are allowed to rejoin the community if you have left before, but you must submit a membership rejoin form in the Discord server. The High Council will then review your app and decide on a ruling from there. If denied, you must wait three months to reapply. 

You may leave and rejoin EGS up to three times. After you leave the third time, a DNH will be issued, this can be appealed. Please read more about the DNH in the DNH policy.

Elder Council/Leader Council Reinstatement

Any member from elder council or leader council that wishes to return to EGS membership and to the chain of command, must fill out a membership return application. The High Council will then vote them in or not. If approved, then the rank, division and/or squad will be determined by the HC vote.

At EGS we allow you to be apart of up to three departments at a time. This is to allow you to remain balanced with your rank and department duties.

If you want a division transfer, you may submit your request to your division leader. The division leader must tell the director, and the director will then inform your new potential div leader. You will suffer a one week rank suspension, and the new div leader will place you into a squad, and your new generals will give you a new rank (cannot be higher than previous unless approved by new Div Leader.) If you are a Div rank, the Director will select your new rank. 

If you want a squad transfer, you may submit your request to your general. The general must tell the division leader, and the div leader will then inform your new potential general. You will suffer a one week rank suspension, and the new general will select your new rank (cannot be higher than the previous one, unless approved by div leader.)

Rank Suspension Policy- A rank suspension is a suspension for doing any duties from that rank, or you may be required to attend so many meetings and gain so many recruits. According to the rank that you are, you may be able to issue a rank suspension. A rank suspension can only be issued, if someone is not doing their jobs in that rank, disrespect, or some other form, such as breaking the code of conduct or breaking any policies. All rank suspensions must be submitted to a director for filing. After filing the High Council will review. Please submit your reasoning and have a witness submit what they heard and felt what happened.

Appealing a rank suspension– If you feel that your rank suspension was unfair, you may submit an appeal and the High Council will review it. Please have two witnesses ready to be called upon. The High Council will have final say so on the suspension.

Chain of command must be followed at all times regarding clan operations. If you break the chain of command, you will receive warnings, after after a few warnings, you may get a rank suspension. Follow the ranking structure and ask the rank above you to follow the ranking structure. 

We as the leaders want to hear from you, the community. We do ask you to do it in a formal fashion. You may post your ideas into the Discord server channel labeled for ideas and suggestions.

Failure to meet those requirements and duties, remain active or cause issues will result in warnings. After three warnings, demotion can occur.

outside of egs and not to bring them into the server.

one of you will be able to go up to general and other won’t be able to go past major.

If the squad split you will be able to separate and go to separate squad allowing each of

them to reach the highest rank as they won’t be in the same division.
