Hi allWhat does your guild do to those guild members that raid early?Is there any point giving them chance after chance, or best to get rid for the sake of harmony amongst the rest of the guild that are sticking to the rules?We have a 24 hour zero damage policy like a lot of other guilds, but always seem to get a handful of members raiding as soon as the raid starts, even if they do little damage.Main reason to keep them is we struggle to fill the guild, though we do average 42-45 members most of the time.Thoughts?

3 strikes. First time no damage next raid, only 0. Second time no 0. 3rd time out. They are hurting the guild more than being one less for a bit. Also communication is key, make sure everyone knows the rules and consequences. If someoine is not willing too play by the rules, you don't need them.

Sounds reasonable.Main problem is communication, we have a few that have never appeared in chat (minor accounts?) so we have no way of knowing if they understand the rules.I like the 3 strike rule, gives them a chance to explain or stop doing it, but hopefully keeps them in the guild for other contributions.

If you can't communicate then they need to go. It's unfortunate fact, but like I said they are hurting the whole guild, you have to look to the greater good when in that position.

Well despite the warnings another 4 have raided early yet again, will follow your advice and put them on the first of 3 strikes, kick if no improvement.

If they can’t follow simple rules for raids they won’t be able to follow important rules for new raid, territory wars or territory battles. Boot them.

What the guild Im in has is a 0 damage rule for 24 hours, but level 79 and under can go for it if they’d like. But our guild only runs heroic rancor. With heroic aat it’s a free for all from the get go.

We post rules right before the raid is activated for any new people. Any offenders are warned, if they do it again for fail to acknowledge in chat they understand, they’re booted during the raid so they don’t get any prizes

Don't forget the little kicks.

Our guild has a zero damage rule for level 85's. Anyone 84 or under can attack at will. If someone 84 or under can solo the herioc Pit, then I'll be happy to have them in my guild!

After 24 hours it is a free for all and lasts about 15 minutes, tops.

Tank raid is the same 24 hour rule, and then free for all. That lasts a few hours at least.

If someone repeatedly violates the rule, and they do not post their mistakes, they are gonna get the boot.

We have zero damage for the first 24 hrs of HAAT but for Rancor we post two poor toons to allow people to hit with the first 24 hrs to solve tie breaker problems. Examples would be any two imperial troopers, any two female Jedi, CUP and ME, two bounty hunters, the vets ( this one did not go over well since only a few had them at 7*). Key is not picking anyone that does a lot of damage or can survive until enraged.
