Our normal set of rules have not been published on the net, only shared between members... who all know each other in real life. Or as Sa calls it, Face-punching-range. After much discussion, I am posting our rules for wormhole operations on my blog.
-----------------
Worm Hole Rules
By: The Cats
1) You do not discuss operations, rules or policies with outside entities (Corps, Alliances, and “Friends”).
a) No smack-talk, no talking in Local in any wormhole. Do not give away free intel, by announcing yourself and the corporation
b) No announcing or leading anyone into the Wormhole, without director permission.
c) Ships, fits and who flies them is not open knowledge. Do not share your personal fits with non-corp members (discussion is fine, posting is not).
2) Scouting and scanning skills are required.
a) You will have an alt-scout logged out in the home hole at all times.
b) Book marks will be standardized; statics, exits and anoms in the home hole will be updated daily, and kept fresh in the Corporation Book mark folder.
c) Safes will not be shared. If a safe is burned due to probing or accidents, an AAR will be filed.
d) All players will have a warp-while-cloaked ship, for their primary character for scouting. Alts may use expendable cloak-while-stationary ships.
3) Operations in the hole.
a) No operation will occur until all holes are rolled shut and the home hole is secured. Rolling shut a k162 into a known occupied system will not be accomplished without a dedicated scout watching (and cloaked).
b) If any signature appears during an operation, or any unannounced probes, ships or wrecks are seen, all operators are suspended until the hole is secured.
c) Mining and gassing will not occur until sleepers from the site are cleared. Warp bubbles are suggested at the signature of the site being processed.
d) PvP is hazardous; attacking another player is a private call. If you do not successfully eliminate a
player in the home hole, an Eve-mail will be sent corp wide announcing the situation. Successful elimination of a player in the home hole will require re-securing the home hole before any other operations may continue. AAR will be filed if any PvP occurs. “GFs” in wormhole local is not allowed.
e) PvE ships are up to the individual, suggested fits can be found online or discussed with corp-mates.
f) Exiting the wormhole. Warping directly to a ‘d-scannable’ bookmarked wormhole is acceptable, otherwise warp to a safe to see if the hole is clear prior to warping directly to it. This includes picking up PI materials.
g) Planetary Interaction material pick-up will only occur after the home hole is secured. If you get nailed while on a POCO, it is your fault.
4) Naming conventions.
a) Shields before your ship name are copy-able from the d-scan window. Do not trust them.
b) Each person will have a designator after their ship name, to identify who it belongs to.
c) Signatures will be named; Type – Three letter designator – actual name.
d) Wormholes will be named; Type (K162, etc) Series (a, b, c, etc…) – Time or stability (EOL, Crit).
e) Inflammatory naming is not acceptable. Racial slurs, sexism, agism, personal threats are against the EULA.
5) System defense and general notes.
a) PvP is personal, engaging a larger fleet is not advised. Call for back-up, bring friends.
b) Be very wary if the player, or players are orange to our corporation. Do not engage alone if the players are marked red to our corporation, past encounters and advanced knowledge may be in play. Engaging neutrals is acceptable. Blues and light blues may travel across the home hole. Anyone harvesting, shooting sleepers or loitering in the home hole is fair game, this includes blues.
c) We do NOT harvest or shoot sleepers in 'Blue' holes.
d) It is advisable to train starbase defense to four, and anchoring to three.
e) Asset denial is acceptable play, eliminating wrecks with loot ( including sleeper wrecks ) to remove potential earnings is acceptable.
