United Forces policies and procedures

United Forces is a clan that was founded in the late 90’s by Shawn C. and Jon H.; also known as Gunner and Wish.

Since the inception of United Forces, the clan has grown into one of the most respected clans in their game.

United Forces has been seen in Duke Nukem 3D, Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2, Unreal Tournament 99, Unreal Tournament 2k3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, Call of Duty 4, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 .

While United Forces was in F.EA.R Combat and Call of Duty 4 They were one of the top TWL (Team Warfare League) clans before deciding to step down and move on. United forces is again fast climbing the ranks for TWL in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

United Forces prides itself on its members and their skills and require our members to abide by rules of conduct.

Acceptance into the clan

United Forces has two clan divisions known as #uf# and #UF#. The #uf# division is our junior division and the #UF# is our full member division.

All new members of the clan are placed into the junior division and are required to stay there for the period of one month for evaluation. Only those that are accepted by majority vote of clan owners are allowed to move into the full member division.

In order to be a candidate for the full division a member must participate in the clans servers, participate on the clans forums, participate on Ventrilo and use Xfire. The full division also has $3 a month dues. This is not a donation and is required to be in the full #UF# division.

All members of the full division get an email address that ends with ufclansite.net. They also get a guaranteed slot on the servers in the event a server is full and access to the clan full member forums.

If a member decides (s)he does not want to be in the full clan then (s)he may stay in the junior division for no more than 60 days after being accepted into the clan.

#UF# uses the Junior division as a recruiting pool to get to know a player and see if (s)he is someone we would like to make a full member. Junior division is not a permanent position in the clan. If, after your 60 days, you still have decided not to apply to become a full member you may be asked to leave the clan to free up a recruiting spot for other applicants.

Only those members in the full division are allowed to participate in TWL matches and they must make their interest known to the TWL captains by PM or posting in the TWL section of the full clan forums.

If a junior member cannot afford to pay the $3.00 a month dues then a current member of the full division may sponsor them only after providing the reason for sponsorship to 3 of the clans’ owners and gaining their approval.

To start the application process to become a full member you must first pay your first 6 months of dues, $18.00 by clicking the clan dues donations button link on the main page and then you must request a meeting
with any owner.

The owners will hear your request in Ventrilo and will then make a decision on your application. If your application is accepted you will be told via a PM from the owners with your full clan info and password to the private slots.

If your application is denied they will give you the reason and you will be allowed to reapply in 30 days. At this point your clan dues will be refunded and you will remain in the junior division until you reapply in 30 days.

If your application is denied for reasons of conduct or participation you may be removed from the clan all together and stripped of your tags.

Conduct

Clan members are to wear their clan tags at all times while playing in our servers and any other clans servers. The tag is #UF# for the full division and #uf# for the junior division.

Clan members must be respectful of each other and discrimination on the bases of gender, age, race, nationality, religious beliefs, creed, or origin will not be tolerated.

Clan members should respect non-clan persons in the same way they do clan members while representing the clan.

Clan members should show dignity, honor and integrity in other game servers and forums. Any insult towards the member of another clan or its members will not be tolerated. Any insult to United Forces or its members are to be ignored uncommented.

United Forces does not need to defend itself in forums, let them bring it to the game.

Members should respect management and their decisions and management should respect the ideas of the clan members.

No clan member is to question clan policy or regulations in public. All thoughts on policies and regulations should be brought up in the “Clan Only” section of the forums or by private message to a management member.

Good sportsmanship is mandatory at all times and in all situations.
Members are representatives of the clan and are perceived as such by other people and organizations. A member's public conduct, good or bad, will be reflected on the clan as a whole.

Cheating

Under no circumstances is a clan member to use or test cheats or be seen associating with a cheat while representing the clan. Doing so is grounds for immediate dismissal from the clan.

No clan member is to use a glitch in a game while representing the clan. Any person found to be using a glitch will be suspended from the clan for whatever time period is decided upon.

Definition of a cheat

Any tampering of the official game code and associated files or any use of a program that is meant to alter the behavior of the game in a way that either gives an advantage to players using it or gives a disadvantage to players not using it.

Example: wall-hacks, speed cheats, aim bots

Definition of a glitch

Use of any game behavior that is unintended by the manufacturer in order to increase one's personal performance or decrease the performance of others.

Example: glitches in walls.

Participation

Membership to the clan requires that members be regulars on the forums and be active on Ventrilo and Xfire.

If someone in the full division is found to not be participating without a reason they will be demoted to the junior division and if are still not participating after 30 days they will be dropped from the roster at managements discretion.

Double Clanning

Double clanning, ringing or membership in another clan that is in direct competition against United Forces or a clan that plays the same game is not allowed.

This includes game series and modifications of the game.
