COS Rules and Requirements

COS Code of Honor

All Members of Council of Saradomin must first realize that being a part of it is a privilege and not a right. With this known, we rely on ourselves to correct and report the faults of ourselves and others. We will also rely on our members to celebrate in the glory of each other and our successes. In the pursuit of preserving our community and atmosphere all members and guests of Council of Saradomin must abide by all of our preset rules and this code. All members and guests will show others respect in all places they communicate. In any circumstance, members of Council of Saradomin will be preferred over outside members and guests except in times of gross deviation from our preset rules. As a clan, we must honor our reputation by accepting blame for our own actions and refusing to look externally to blame others for our own faults. These types of personal and clan accountability will be highly praised and at times rewarded. When commitments are made we are expected to complete or fulfill our part in a timely and efficient manner. In order to accomplish this we must respect the time and effort put forth by our Staff Members and additional help by not impeding on their work. As members we will place our personal lives first, our clan second, our fellow brothers third and ourselves last. Knowing our priorities we will communicate issues that arise in our private lives that affect our active role inside the Council of Saradomin with fellow brothers, we will attend events when able, always help a fellow brother when able and continue to raise our own accounts. We are and will continue to strive together for growth, as people, as a clan, as friends and with our accounts.
