Squad Authority Officer Elections – Campaign Guidelines

With the nominations now closed, we officially enter the Campaign Period. To ensure fairness, respect, and fun, all candidates and members are asked to observe the following rules and guidelines:

1. Campaign Duration

The campaign period officially starts upon this announcement and ends on September 25, 2025 (9:00PM).
No campaigning is allowed after the deadline.

2. Campaign Materials

Candidates may post campaign messages, posters, and videos in designated channels (Main GC, Discord campaign thread, or Facebook group).
Materials must be respectful, creative, and original.
House emblems, squad logos, and other official assets may be used, but do not alter or deface emblems of other Houses or candidates.

3. Conduct & Respect

No negative campaigning: Attacks, insults, or spreading false information about other candidates will not be tolerated.
Campaigns should highlight the candidate’s plans, qualities, and contributions, not the shortcomings of others.
Members are reminded to maintain respectful language and proper decorum at all times.

4. Campaign Promises

Candidates may present 3–5 key platforms or initiatives they intend to work on if elected.
Promises must be achievable within squad resources and rules. Overpromising or unrealistic pledges are discouraged.

5. Engagement & Interaction

Candidates are encouraged to interact with members through Q&A, open forums, or casual conversations.
Members may freely ask questions and express support, but avoid spamming in group chats.

6. Transparency & Fairness

Campaigning should be done openly in official spaces including House GCs, not through secret groupings that exclude others.
Bribery, incentives, or giving gifts (e.g., Silk Coins, skins, or rewards) in exchange for votes are strictly prohibited.

7. Voting Period

The voting period will begin immediately after campaigns close.
Details on the voting process and schedule will be released separately by the Squad Authority.

⚔️ Remember: Campaigning is a time to showcase your leadership, creativity, and dedication to the squad.
Let’s keep it fair, respectful, and fun—because in the end, we are all Silk Sentinels.
