I. All members must read and agree to the DHG Code of Conduct before becoming an official member of the Die Hard Gaming community (DHG).

II. Cheating, hacking, game tampering, or system tampering will get you kicked out of DHG. NOTE: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR X-BOX LIVE DISCLAIMER, FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, AND ABIDE BY THEM and AS FOLLOWED ...DHG does not condone the purchase of cheating, hacking, etc... products that maybe offered through its advertisers on the DHG website, or the advertisers website, or any other form, that would violate this section.

III. Discrimination of any type will NOT be tolerated at all! This includes inside of lobbies, chat forums, or any game of any type. Please represent DHG to the fullest and in a positive manner. Do not fall victim to another user egging you on. Simply, mute the player or leave the game and/or lobby. Report the player to a higher up if they are a DHG member. If it is a public person, have your entire party leave that game. What you do and how you act, are both reflections on how DHG is perceived.

IV. ALL MEMBERS MUST BE AGE 16 OR OLDER. NO EXCEPTIONS in DHG. However, we do have DHJ (Die Hard Juniors) for 9-15 years of age players. NOTE: Although, DHJ is a separate entity, DHG & DHJ player ranks are still equatable and we must adhere to the c.o.c.. For example, a DHJ GENERAL is still above a DHG COMMANDER, but is the same rank as a DHG GENERAL.

V. All members are accountable for themselves and their actions. Leaders within DHG are NOT responsible for members who break rules. DHG has a zero-tolerance policy. Violating members will be judged by the Vice Presidents ranks on up to DHG Management.

VI. All DHG members are proud to be a part of our gaming community and are willing to change their gamer tag within 30 days of joining DHG. Doing so will help us grow and to be recognized as an official clan.

VII. All members in DHG have an open door policy to speak with any member on any issue that one may have. NOTE: If you have an issue, it is suggested you start by using the chain of command to voice your issues in a private setting. If you feel that is not working, then, by all means, address the issue to any higher up/s in rank in a private setting. When an issue is received by any DHG member, they will report any & all issues to a higher up that can help resolve the issue within a timely manner.

VIII. Tea-bagging is NOT allowed, at anytime, in any game we play, in any tournament/s, in any Clan Wars, any Game Battle, etc...

IX. We ask for 100% loyalty from all members in DHG. Remember that we are a family and should have each other's back. and work to protect and serve all DHG members no matter the rank of an individual member.

X. Never leave another DHG member behind. To quit in the middle of a game because your team is not winning is not acceptable. This is considered leaving a member behind. We are all DHG. We will win or lose together.

XI. Members should attend at least one meeting per week and at least two practices a week. Doing so will help us to be organized and help us gain the necessary skills to dominate when in action.

XII. If you are called to a party by a higher ranking member please respond to that person ASAP. (Note: Even if you don't like that person or have had problems with that person in the past you must answer their call no matter what). Also, please show respect to your clan elders!

XIII. When and if you have a problem or idea, please use the chain of command when you need to express these things. You should never go over your superiors head no matter what the situation is. In doing so you will be de-ranked even if your 100% right or wrong about the subject matter. Please respect your leaders.
