Wilderness Guardians Rights

You have certain rights that nobody can take away from you. Despite the rules mentioned above, there are things that a leader cannot restrict. You will have these rights at all times.


You May Speak Against The Leadership

• If you don't like what the leaders are doing, you will never be punished for saying so. We will not show bias against you on a professional level if you speak out, as long as you are polite. If you flame, this breaches our rule about showing courtesy.
• You may express your like or dislike of the leadership privately or publicly, as long as it is not in an insulting manner.
• You may not, however, start a movement to overthrow or go against the leadership. This breaches our rule about following the chain of command.

You Are Able To Leave The Clan At Any Time

• We cannot stop you from leaving, and if you choose to leave, we will remove you from our member list.
• There is two exceptions. The first is that Council members and the Primary Leader must give two weeks notice before they can resign. The second is that members must fulfil a 3 day notice before they can be asked to be removed from the Wg ML.

You May Refuse To Attend An Event

• All events are optional, with two minor exceptions. You must attend a war if it is an official war, unless you are unable to be on at that time, or unless you are on the non-fighting exceptions list.
• You may also leave an event at any time. However, you have to have been part of the event for a reasonable amount of time to be counted in attendance.

You Will Never Be Forced To Pay Anything

• We will never force you to give money. If asked, you may refuse.
• However, you are required to have the appropriate equipment for an event. If you don't have the necessary equipment, you may not attend.

We Cannot Make You Choose Your Friends

• You may be friends with whoever you wish, even if they are enemies of the clan.
• You may even have them added over Runescape, but at your own risk.
• However, we will not let you provide them with clan-only information.
