The Guild’s rulebook, published before anyone is judged. Modeled on the community rules of Team DotA Allstars, the clan that kept a written rulebook and a public banlist for the DotA community, and rebuilt with a hearing, a record and an appeal for every call.
1. Conduct
- Respect every Champion, guest and Neophyte. No harassment, hate speech, threats or doxxing.
- Never publish anyone’s private email, phone, address or personal details. Public Instagram and public websites only.
- Credit the work. Name the photographer, the designer, the model, the stylist.
- No impersonation of the Guild, Sparta Corporation, any Champion, or any government or military body.
2. How to trade (services and collaborations)
- Trades between Champions are services and collaborations: a shoot for a styling session, a menu for a venue, a set for a feature.
- Put the deal in writing before work starts: who does what, by when, for what, and who owns the result.
- Image and likeness are used only with a signed release (California Civil Code § 3344).
- Pay on time, deliver on time. If plans change, say so in writing.
3. The Trading Code
- Fair dealing: no bait-and-switch, no hidden fees, no reselling someone else’s work.
- Honest rates: Guild figures are estimates and benchmarks, never someone’s quoted price unless they say so.
- No investments: nothing in the Guild is sold as an investment, a share or a promise of profit. Memberships and seats carry no ownership (California Corporations Code §§ 25019, 25110; S.C. Code § 35-1-102).
- The Perlas Coin is a concept only. It cannot be bought, sold or traded today.
4. Reporting
- Report a rule break to editor@nightlifereport.app with the subject “Guild report”. Include what happened, when, and any proof.
- Emergencies go to 911 first. The Guild never replaces the police or a court.
- No retaliation against anyone who reports, testifies or serves as a Juror.
5. Bans and appeals
Every ban comes with a Reform Card stating the rule, the conduct, the evidence and the appeal link. Appeal within 60 days through the Guild Court. There is no shared blacklist between communities.
