Below are the guild guidelines and raid rules of Unholy.

Guild Rules

Ranks & Promotions
Unholy utilizes 2 ranking ladders... 1 for non-raiding members and 1 for raiders

Non-Raiders
All new members begin their membership with Unholy as recruits. After a period of two weeks, recruits will become full members. There is no higher rank for non-raiding members.

Raiders
All new recruits who wish to raid with us begin as Raid Recruits. After a period of two weeks of raid attendance (ie: attends at least 4 separate raid events), the Guild Leadership will review your performance and either promote to full raider or will advise you areas that need improvement. If your performance does not meet the guild's minimum standards, you will be placed in a Member (non-raider) rank until such time as you have improved your performance. You may apply to become a full raider again every 2 weeks.

Guild Vault
The guild vault is available to all members except recruits. The higher your rank, the more access you will have to the guild vault. Use of the Guild Vault is a priviledge. Abuse of that priviledge will have it taken away. When using the vault, keep the following guidelines in mind...

- Do not take when you won't need/used personally. Taking an item and posting it up for auction is not personal use.
- Do not deposit junk items to any tab.
- Do not move items around from tab to tab. We label this as "griefing" and it will not be tolerated.
- Do not put items in tabs where they do not belong. The tab struction is laid out very specifically to help organize our resources better. Below is a tab classification list. If you are unsure where a donation should go, mail the item to one of the officers and tell them it is for the vault.

Vault Tabs
Tab One - Free For All
Anything in this tab is free game, but again, do not take what you don't need.

Tab Two - Raw Materials
This tab is for any high level crafting materials. The right hand side of this tab is for flasks and flask materials. Only officers can withdraw from this tab.

Tab Three - Food and Pots
This tab is for raid consumables. This tab is for raider use only.

Tab Four - Valuables
This tab is for enchanting materials and epics. The enchant mats are for raiders only. If you have greens or enchant mats please donate them here whenever possible. Only officers can withdraw from this tab.

Tab Five - Glyphs
The same withdrawal rules as tab three apply to this tab.

Ventrilo Server
Unholy has a vent server that is available 24 hours a day. Utilized primarily for raid communication, you can also join it at any time just to chat with fellow guildies. Standard etiquette rules apply. We reserve the right to perma-ban anyone from our Vent server for any reason.

Raid Rules

Raiding Schedule
Our weekly raiding schedule is posted in the Guild Calendar at least 1 week in advance of the actual event. If a night has a guild event scheduled on it, competing events will not be tolerated. Once a guild-sponsored even has ended, then other events may take place but not before or during. Also, guild members eligible to raid should not "ID" themselves to a raid instance before all guild raiding nights have passed for the week... usually Friday.

Raiding Attendance
All raiders wishing to go must be online at least 15 minutes before raid start time. We intend to pull the first mob right at the posted start time so that we have the maximum amount of time inside the instance for the night. Also, we will not accomodate "sub-groups" of players... or players that refuse to raid if their friends are not in the same raid. We operate under the philosophy that the guild's progress comes before individual needs.

Raid Loot
Loot is handled by a Loot Council. The council is made up of all the guild's officers and advisors and contains members that have mained all the character classes in WoW and are familiar with the best-in-slot gear. Loot is distributed based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, amount of upgrade, raid attendance, and guild performance.

Loot Process
- Master Looter will link the item into Raid Warning.
- If you want the item, link your current item you would be replacing as well as the last item you received from a guild run. If the item is for your offset, type "OFF" after linking.
- The Loot Council will deliberate and determine who is most deserving and will give the item to that player and move on to the next piece of loot on the body.

"Grief" Items
Items that annoy or disrupt a raid will not be tolerated. So called "grief" items include, but are not limited to, the Toy Train and the Piccolo. Dropping these items during a raid will cause your character to be removed from the raid and continued violation may result in removal from the guild. If you are unsure if an item is a "grief" item, don't risk it... don't use it!

Required Add-Ons and Applications
To participate in the raid, you must have Deadly Boss Mods installed... and if you are a decursing, cleansing, or dispelling class, Decursive must also be installed. You must also have Ventrilo and be logged in to the Unholy Vent server throughout the raid, even if you don't have the ability to talk. You will still be able to listen to raid leaders providing instructions.

Ventrilo Rules
Ventrilo is for the exclusive use of Unholy Guild in it's guild-sponsored events. If you are running a pug group and wish to use the vent for your pug, please meet with an officer ahead of time prior to getting everyone into our Vent. We also reserve the right to kick/perma-ban any user from Vent. During raid runs, talking on Vent is reserved for the Guild Leader and Officer Core unless you are notifying the raid of something urgent.

Consequences
People found to be in violation of any of these guidlines or rules are subject to disciplinary actions from the Guild Leadership, up to and including removal from a raid or from the guild.
