United Clan of ROBLOX: Shouting Guidelines
[Table of Contents:] Section I: Introduction Section II: Proper Use of the Shout Section III: Brackets Section IV: Tags Section V: Privileges Section VI: Abuse and Punishment Section VII: Conclusion ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I. Introduction
In UCR, in order to increase the efficiency and structure of our group shout, we use “shout tags”. Shout tags are used to specifically label what we put in the shout, such as forums, messages, training links, raiding links, and more. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
II. Proper Use of the Shout The shout should be used to benefit the group, not yourself. For example, there shouldn't be any shouts advertising donations, unrelated forums, or unrelated places. Keep in mind the shout is not your personal status. In the shout we expect formality, grammar, and professionalism. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
III. Brackets Brackets in the shout determine the length of time the shout should remain up before it may be over-shouted. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Type 1: {TEXT} - These brackets indicate the shout can be over-shouted at any time, can be used to announce a training has ended or to patrol UCR’s fort. Type 2: [TEXT]- These brackets indicate the shout must be left up for one hour, and can be over-shouted by anyone after one hour has passed, or can be over-shouted if given permission from the person who shouted, the Vice President or President. (Ex. [TRAIN] Training! --link--) Type 3: [[TEXT]] - These brackets indicate that the shout can be over-shouted after three hours unless given permission by the person who shouted it, the Vice President or President. This shout would be used in more urgent scenarios. (Ex. [[RAID]] Raid here! --link--) Type 4: {[TEXT}] - These brackets indicate that the shout cannot be over-shouted by anyone except the President. Side shouts* CANNOT be added. (Ex. {[ANNOUNCE]} UCR will be going to war!) *Side-shout: A side shout is when you add something into a previous shout, so both things fit into the bracket. (Ex. [TRAIN/FORUM] Training here: --link-- || Forum: --link--) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ IV. Tags A tag in a shout is what goes inside of the bracket and provides a quick summary describing the shout's contents. These tags must be used at all times. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ [NEWS] - This is used to alert the clan to specific news or our newsletter. [TRAIN] - This is used to tell members that there is a training going on. [FORUM] - This is used to link members to an important post related to UCR. [VOTE] - This is used to link members to the currently-running election thread. [WARN] - This is used to tell members they are doing something wrong. [EVENT] - This is used to announce a hangout, ceremony, or a meeting. [MSG] - This is used to give relevant, clan-related information out to the public. [ALLY] - This is used to give members a link to an ally fort to help out with defending and other joint exercises. [DEFEND] - This is used to alert members there are hostile forces at the fort, and defense is requested. [RAID] - This is used to give members a link to a hostile fort to attacking. [RALLY] - This is used to gather members prior to an important even such as a raid. [ANNOUNCE] - This is used to get important information across.
When combining shouts or shouting two separate things at the same time, the format [MSG/FORUM] (with the relevant tags) must be followed. Refer to the side-shout* definition in section III. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ V. Privileges The following list presents the shouting privileges held by each rank. Members should not create shouts that are outside their level of permission.

VI. Abuse and Punishment In order to circumvent abuse and misuse, we will be utilizing a warning system for those with shouting abilities. In this case, misuse shall be defined as: - Improper use of brackets or shout tags. - Unauthorized over-shouting. - Shouting unnecessary or non-clan-related messages.
1st and 2nd Infractions: Verbal Warning 3rd Infraction: 24 Hour suspension 4th Infraction: 72 Hour suspension 5th Infraction: Minimum 1-week suspension or demotion
NOTE: major infractions will result in immediate suspension and possibly demotion pending further review.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VII. Conclusion In conclusion, shout tags are an important part to UCR. They keep shouts organized and efficient. It is absolutely necessary that anyone using the shouts has read this guide over and understands the limits and boundaries of shouting. One last piece of advice -- When posting a link, to save space, take out "http://www." The link will function just as it had before while saving space. You can also shorten a place or item link by replacing the name with two dashes, like roblox.com/--place?id=10538390 IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are posting a shout previously posted that has tags you cannot use, if it was posted by a rank higher than you, you may keep it in the shout. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Signed, UCR Chief of Justice Ajwc UCR Justice Senator Metsfan2009 UCR Justice Senator Tiipot UCR President Vertillian
