PSDH Guild Ranks
The following guild ranks are available in PSDH that you need to be aware of as a member:

• Leader - Head of the guild
• Coordinator - These are the PSDH Coordinators. If you have any issues with a member or commander, you can contact a coordinator to sort things out
• Commander - These are the Raid Commanders. If you have any general questions, you can contact a commander
• Dragon Hunter - Rank for active members
• Frog Hunter - Rank for inactive members
• Prospect - First rank for new members before they’re verified on TeamSpeak

Guild Rep Check Policy
As described in the PSDH Etiquette, all members should represent PSDH during official PSDH events. Every one or two months we will change the rank of all members to “Frog Hunter”. To maintain an active status in PSDH, you will have to attend at least one raid per month whilst representing PSDH. Every raid you attend you should try to represent PSDH, for two reasons:

• Even though PSDH is not a regular guild, we still need influence for upgrades, buffs, banners, etc.
  Since PSDH is organising these raids we would like our name to be out there for recognition. When players join the map and see a bunch of PSDH tags, we want them to know that they are on a fun and organised server. They might then wish to join us which grows the community!
• During PSDH raids the coordinators and commanders will check who are representing PSDH and attending the raid and will swap their rank from "Frog Hunter" to "Dragon Hunter" if needed. Raid time is from when we enter one of the event channels on TeamSpeak (e.g. Tequatl, TT-Wurm, Guild Missions, etc.) till we leave the channel.

If you did attend a raid while representing and your status did not get changed please contact one of the coordinators or commanders on TeamSpeak to help you out.  Make sure to include which raid you were attending and which commanders were leading the raid. If you feel your status was set back to "Frog Hunter" in error, please do the same.

Before the next purge phase (every one or two months), all members who have the "Prospect" or "Frog Hunter" rank will be removed from the guild. Anyone who got removed from the guild is free to resubmit an application to rejoin PSDH.

"Dragon Hunter" rank, what does it mean?
The "Dragon Hunter" rank is used to see which members are active in PSDH. You only have to join one raid whilst representing PSDH after each purge phase to have your rank set back to "Dragon Hunter". This is done to ensure PSDH only contains active members.

How do I get the "Dragon Hunter" rank?
To have your rank changed to "Dragon Hunter" is pretty simple:

• Represent PSDH during official raids
• Be in the related raid channel on TeamSpeak

During raids coordinators and commanders will check the guild roster and promote everyone who fulfils these two requirements.

If after a raid your rank was not changed, please contact one of the commanders or coordinators on TeamSpeak and give them information about the raid you joined and which commanders were organizing the event. They will gladly help you out.

What if I cannot represent PSDH because of my 100% rep guild?
If you cannot represent PSDH then, depending on the numbers, we will either implement a unique rank for these members or during each purge phase you will be required to send an in-game mail to a commander or coordinator.

Why has my rank been changed to "Frog Hunter"!
When a new purge phase starts all members with the "Dragon Hunter" rank will be set back to the "Frog Hunter" rank.

What happens during the Purge?
The purge phase is a monthly/bimonthly event in which guild maintenance is done to clean up any members who are deemed inactive in PSDH.

• One week before the purge all guild invites are put on hold
• The day the purge starts:
  
  • All pending guild invites are removed
  • All members with ranks "Prospect" or "Frog Hunter" are removed from the guild
  • All members with the rank "Dragon Hunter" are set to "Frog Hunter"

If you were removed from the guild during a purge, you may always send a new guild application (http://psdh.eu/index.php?action=form;n=1) to rejoin PSDH.
