The Community Tag refers to the Wolves of Amarok acronym in a members gamertag at any given time. This tag is an identifying factor of an individual who may be a part of our community and should be respected as such.

However, those who wish to acquire the rank of Warrior or higher must change their gamertag; adding the tag to reflect being a staff member within the community. As well, it can be displayed anywhere within the gamertag (i.e. WoA Member; Member of WoA). Additionally, the only officially accepted acronym of the community tag is: WoA, capitalizing the “w” and “a” and keeping the “o” as a lowercase letter. Any other forms such as; (WOA, woa, wOa, etc). will not be accepted and will not qualify an individual for promotion. Promotions will be put on hold until the individual accurately displays the acronym in their gamertag

That being said, we do not tolerate ANY form of harassment of our members in any situation. Those caught in violation of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action(s) including, but not limited to a permanent removal from Wolves of Amarok. Harassment is defined as a cruel act of usually on-going torment that is meant to annoy, threaten, or intimidate another individual to fear for their safety. It is governed by law state to state, and country to country. No person shall, without lawful authority and knowing that another person is harassed or recklessly as to whether the other person is harassed, engage in conduct that causes that person reasonably, in all circumstances, to fear for their safety, or anyone known to them. Additionally, those in violation of this policy may even face criminal prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, should the situation provide for it. Harassment: An intentional behaviour by one or more individuals that is disturbing or threatening another person, or group of people. Intentional behaviours that characterize harassment include, but are not limited to: stalking, hazing, social exclusion, name calling, unwanted physical contact. As well, it may present itself as unwelcome verbal or written comments, photographs, and graphics. Harassment may be related to race, religious orientation, sexual orientation, cultural background, economic status, size or personal appearance. It can also be behaviours that are direct or indirect and by the use of social media. This behaviour violates Wolves of Amarok’s code of conduct, and any situation that presents itself in the form of harassment will be taken very seriously. If a member violates this policy leadership will review the situations on a case by case basis and determine the appropriate disciplinary measures to take.

It is a form of bullying that occurs over time when negative actions from one or more people are seeking power or control that is meant to hurt another person, and may constitute a violation of law. Additionally, if the false statement is found to be true, no matter how unflattering it may be, it is still a violation to defamation, and will still be a defense of charge of slander.

Squad Splits: In order for continuous growth throughout our community, Wolves of Amarok has outlined minimum guidelines that every squad must follow in order for everyone to have an opportunity at becoming leadership. Keep in mind that once a squad reaches their defined maximum they will be required to split to provide deserving members a chance at leadership. The goal of any split is to ensure that they are stable enough, and have the correct amount of leaders for them to flourish. It is important to recognize when these kinds of decisions should be made, so that the progression of the squad can handle the influx of the changes. For a full list of squad split requirements refer to our handbook.
The Ancient of the existing squad, may be promoted to Spirit if space is provided. However, the Eidolon may choose to be promoted into the Wolves Council and be part of the Council that overlooks the entire community. Should the Spirit of the existing squad not be promoted to Eidolon, the Ancient would transfer to the new squad as Spirit, and the chosen Ancient will become the Ancient of the existing squad.
Squad Merging: This action is taken if for any reason they aren't progressing the way a squad should. For instance, they aren't able to keep the retention of their members, or there is frequent inactivity from those in their squad. If there are two (2) or more squads that seem to be failing due to reasons listed here, they may be combined together, in order to help out the leadership, and members who are putting in the initiative to grow the community. Should any member intentionally try to diminish a squad from trying to split will be subject to disciplinary action(s) up to and including a membership revoke.
