Alright, listen up Kor'kron. I've been hearing about enough of this lately, so I'm putting my foot down. It's gotta be said, in my opinion, and I sincerely hope you're all listening very carefully.
There has been ENOUGH OOC and IC disrespect in TKL. Can I understand if your character is a grumpy old coot, or a fiery newblood? Yes, yes I can. Can I understand it if you won't RP with someone because of their race-- which is made of PIXELS-- is one you don't like? No. Am I going to understand if you refuse to go someplace because players ruined the RP there, but you blame the race? No. Drop the racism, it's very, very unproductive to RP. I won't get on you guys about being distrustful to people, but calling them names and talking about how bad they are OOCly is stupid. Don't do it.
But wait, there's more. Aside from just disrespecting other players because of race, or even gender sometimes, I've also seen people being douches in OOC chat, or even on the forums! Lovely! It's not as though we haven't been trying to keep a good name for as long as we have. Stop and think before posting, or saying something. Grow up. There's a large difference between having fun and being a moron that gives the guild a bad name. You have to straddle the line between being fun, and between being annoying. Just because you're playing a game, and you're on the internet does not mean that you are exempt from etiquette, and I can't strain this enough. You're in our guild, and you won't give us a bad name by being a jackass.
One last thing-- Respect. The very thought of someone being a jerk to someone else, IN OUR OWN GUILD, sickens me. Is it not enough that our server is plagued with jerks that don't listen? Must you bring it into the Kor'kron Legion? When someone says something, don't make stupid assumptions. You can all have a good, fun conversation without insulting, or whatever. This goes back to thinking before you say something. Can you insult someone for something they do? Think about some of the stupid shit you've done first. Can you say something someone does for a hobby, or a job, or what have you is stupid just because it's something you think is wrong or dumb? No, you can't. Or you're very stupid for doing so, you don't judge someone like that.
Now, my little rant is done. I sincerely hope you all read this, and mull it over. The future of our guild depends and rests on the shoulders of our guildies, or 'brothers' and 'sisters' in guildhood. We want everyone to have fun and play and RP with everyone else in harmony! We, the officers, are pretty lenient in the end, you should all know that by now! But I put my boot down here, and think everyone should read this post and reflect on it.
