Come join Civility (Group based on community, cooperation and fun)
“We Fart Rainbows!”
~Pippa
Civility: the act of showing regard for othersWe are a group dedicated to working cooperatively instead of competitively; to sharing amongst our membership; to maintaining certain standards of behavior with all Glitch interactions; and to making more fun for ourselves and others by positive, supportive actions.
We keep a fun, active chat channel open at all times. We have scheduled and spontaneous events designed to engage our members and other players. We maintain a Civility Route that encourages others to participate in resource collection, restoration projects and iMG donation.
And we do it all in a spirit of Empathy, Non-discrimination and Mutual respect!
Civility's Core Values:~ We will be friendly, caring, like-minded folk. We do not condone rude, mean, or selfish behavior. Trolls and griefers will be expelled from Civility.
~ Unity is key: we do our best to foster group community feeling and spread that to the greater community of Ur.
~ Pre-emptively “pay it forward”! Be pro-active in helping others and they will in turn help you.
~ What goes around comes around, or else it stops.
~ Be completely ethical in your interactions with all, both in-group and across Ur.
Practice mutual respect for all. This includes tolerance for differences of all kinds: from differences of opinion to differences in color, creed, gender, or orientation.
~ Take all forms of hate speech elsewhere! We will not accept the following in Civility: Racism, Xenophobia, Sexual Prejudice (against men/women/LGBT), Disability Discrimination, Bigotry, Harassment, Slander and Abuse of any kind.
~ Generosity is a gift, both to the giver and the receiver: do not abuse the generosity of others but offer yours first.
Membership
~ At this time, membership is subject to approval. A recommendation of you by one of our current members helps but is not a deciding factor on its own. Either request for membership after you read this document carefully OR message Bachjess♫♫♪ in game or send a mail via the website or butler.
~ All new members will be on probation for 2 weeks. At this time, we ask that you be active in our group chat channel or if they prefer through IM'ed conversations with Bachjess♫♫♪ so we get to know each other better and ensure a fit for both parties. Also, keep abreast of our discussion threads and comment in them if you wish. The introductions thread is a good start.
Consequences Policy~ Members who fail in some application of our core values will be subject to our 3-strike system:
Strike 1: IM'ed warning in-game from one of our Leadership Team
Strike 2: Written warning (via note) from one of our Leadership Team
Strike 3: Meeting with Leadership and Removal from the group

- Hiya Vera Mars, Thanks for your reply. One invite coming right up. Cheers & *hugs* :D
- Room for more :D Have a look if you like what you read :D *hugs* & cheers, Bachjess
- Don't know if ToS or group.

Lol :D I'm flattered that you see so much resemblance to my charter and Tiny Speck's ToS. Just a bit of background, I've been guild leader of 2 guilds which bear the Civility name. One in World of Warcraft and One in Star Wars the Old Republic and what I wrote in this thread about our Code and intro, is essentially the charter I used in both other games, just tweaked for Civility Glitch purposes. If you're interested, here is a link of one of the websites I created. My toon's name there in both cases is Elvwyr. *hugs* and cheers all.
http://civility.shivtr.com/pages/Charter - Can I get an invite? :) Thanks!!!
-
Hiya Synnia, *hugs* Sure thing. Thanks so much and cheers too :D
Bachjess - can you invite me
-
Sure thing, darkdood. *hugs* :) and cheers. Invites coming right up. Oh and in case anyone was curious about our group, we use Civility chat a lot in game lol. And you're welcome to chat there, or IM me, or just listen (read). We're incredibly laid back.
Bachjess - I'd love an invite!
-
Hiya Deely *hugs* Sure thing, coming right up. Cheers
Bachjess -
So wait..
You basically do what the greeters do?

So 2 of our friends had projects when they cleared dead crop plots, and all who were on from Civility chipped in to help pooling our resources together, a micro version of the Street projects (please bring them back, TS, we're begging ya, pretty please with frosting on the top). As a result, I was told that what would have taken our friends a long time to restore their crop plots (Both on the Resource routes too), was done in no time. Thank you Civility and thank you Stoot and TS for creating this environment where such community spirit thrives. I love the fact that by helping each other, we help each other :D After all, the Housing Resource Route benefits everyone in game too :D I love being able to give back to the community as so many helped me and continue to help me.
Also, hey PTB3, it was a blast with the 5 or so of us stalking uh putting you on follow, high-fiving, leaping and "invading" your home as we bounced about the place admiring your brilliant home :D
And thank you so much BlackWolf and Trica McMillan for lipping and egging my home street just so:

Had a terrible night last night, and coming home to Glitch and seeing this just made me feel loved and perked me up immeasurably.
And that's a sampling of what we do in Civility.
*hugs* and Cheers all :) -
Bachjess, this is great!
I'd join, but I'd like to ask you to clarify your sixth point first. It's so open that it could be misapplied by griefers, and that's something I can't hold myself to in its current form.
Be well,

Hiya Satori :D
Thank you for your kind words and your astute observation. I've sent you a letter. *hugs* and Cheers.
And to borrow from Robert Burns, "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley".
