Generals Meeting Notes for August 23, 2020
The Harder You Work for Something, The Greater You'll Feel When You Achieve It
Recycling Leadership
All ranks must be earned - handing somebody a leadership rank only because they have previously held a leadership rank in the past is not what you and your leaders should focus on when considering promotions. Go through their current rank responsibilities and ensure that they are already doing what is expected of them at that rank. Then take a look at the responsibilities of the next rank and evaluate whether or not you think they can handle the extra responsibilities of that rank - if you feel like they could fulfill some but not all, start working with them on those areas that they need training on.
To be clear, nobody is barred from going back into leadership after a demotion, but they need to show that they are going to uphold their rank responsibilities instead of it simply being assumed that "they've done it before so they know what they're doing." Issues which caused them to be demoted need to be addressed to ensure they don't repeat the same mistakes as before, and if you only look at members who had previous experience it becomes easy to overlook members who haven't been in leadership before, even if they are demonstrating more leadership qualities than someone who's been leadership previously.
Removal Requests / Help Desk
Please remember that usergroups should be checked at least twice a month to ensure that they match the clan list - meaning anybody who is in the usergroup who has left, transferred, or been removed for inactivity shouldn't still be in the usergroup. In order to submit a ticket for removal, you need to go to the Help Desk, then select the Usergroup Removal Request category, being sure to follow the correct format as listed, with the correct spelling of the member's name and a detailed reason for the removal. Make sure you are including any specifics that would be needed in case the member wants to return through the GWG in the future. Members removed for inactivity do not need to post a GWG and are welcome to return to any clan of their choice.
Additionally, members need to request to join the clan usergroup and should be accepted only once they reach the rank of private in order to reduce removal requests for recruits who don't stay after the 7 day recruit period.
In-Game Regiments / Clans
When creating in-game clans or regiments, it is recommended to have members of leadership in control of them in order to maintain them and keep things running smoothly. Having an in-game regiment or clan on certain games allows certain benefits and perks that can be used as a tool to help bring in new recruits and members as well, such as XP bonuses, rewards, etc. However, members are not required to be a part of an XG in-game clan or regiment unless they wish to be, they are able to be in any they choose.
Enforcing the Honor Code
As a reminder, all XG members are expected to follow their specific division honor code, which can be located here:
XILED GAMING HONOR CODE
Using derogatory terms that target a specific race or gender are not allowed and must be handled immediately, with a warning and/or removal from the community, depending on the severity. Use of the N-Word is not allowed under any circumstances within Xiled Gaming. Make sure that you and your leaders are able to handle these situations when they arise and help to teach them if they haven't had to deal with this type of issue, or reach out to your chain of command if you need assistance.
