Elf Clan originally was the largest themed (non-business) group on Second Life, the first fantasy group ever to reach 1,000 members. This was at a time when 100 members was considered a "large" group.  A group of that size and rapidly growing needed an extensive charter.  In those days Second Life was new, people weren't used to how things worked, griefing was rampant and we didn't have the anti-griefer tools we had today.  In those days we were renting lands on eight regions.  So our original Charter was a small guidebook of how to conduct life on Second Life, how to rent lands, how to host events, how to battle griefers, and more.  It was so comprehensive that other groups requested permission to duplicate our Charter for use in their groups (of course we said yes).
 
Today things are quite a bit different.  Our group is smaller, our events less often and more laid back (and with a lot of experience under our belts), and we no longer have enough land to rent parcels.  Most Second Life members know how to handle griefers themselves.  So now our Charter is trimmed to the bare necessities.
 
THE CORE GUIDELINES are still the same as they have ever been.  Our group is family-friendly (no nudity, foul language or sexual activity is permitted on Elf Clan lands).   Our core motto, as it has always been:
 
* Honor * Respect * Friendship *
 
KEEPING IT UNREAL.  As has always been our policy, real life is to be left in real life.  Elf Clan lands are a place where people come to get away from real life.  Thus we allow no religious themes, symbols or practices (not even fantasy-based ones and holidays.  Our fantasy theme has nothing to do with RL activities).   No nationalistic activities, symbols or activities are allowed.  The same holds true for real life ethnic, cultural or social activities of any kind.  While Elf Clan supports charities in spirt, there are plenty of places people can go to participate in charity drives.  Elve Clan is a place people come to leave all such concepts behind so they can enjoy a few hours in peace and harmony.  In short, please leave real life in real life. 
 
NO RENTALS.  As mentioned above, all of our lands are used for group activities.  We no longer rent out parcels or homes. 
 
DEALING WITH GRIEFERS.  It's simple:  1.  Sit down.  2. Write down the name of the griefer and copy/paste any relevant chat to a notecard or text file.  3. Call for assistance via Elf Clan Chat.  4. Remain seated until a Sentinel comes and takes care of the problem. Laughing at griefers can be very effective; it shows they're not getting under your skin (which is their primary goal.  Don't let them anger you).  Remember: griefers can't do permanent harm.  They however, can be banned for their activities and their account frozen.  The advantage is yours by simply keeping calm.  If nothing else, simply sit and ignore them until they go away.  Chat, call for a Sentinel, watch the fun. ;D
 
HOSTING EVENTS.  If you're interested in hosting an Elf Clan event please let us know.  We have several games and activities already set up and ready to use, or you may have one of your own in mind.
 
That's about it.  Enjoy yourselves on our new Elf Clan lands.
