Officer Ratio: 

One of the biggest aspects of growing a squad is developing and teaching new officers that will grow through the ranks and be the next generation of leaders. Please ensure that you are actively searching for and teaching SGT that want to move up and be an officer within their respective squads. Due to recent changes to clan ops and the structure of squads , the member requirement is less which means trying to maintain the officer to member ratio during healthy growth is difficult. We as leaders need to strive to provide our officers and potential officers an avenue to discuss questions, ideas, concerns etc to help ensure they are not losing motivation and being burnt out. Game plan ideas with your directors, 7’s staff members as well as generals on ideas to help find the next generation of officers. 

 

Disagreements on Discord 

Please remember the the COC applies in your discord server. When chatting in there it is the same as being in a party. We don’t want to break the COC. This means Officers especially, you should be setting an example for others to follow. If you have a problem with something posted by another officer. Don’t argue about it in the chat. Follow the chain of command and to take care of the issue. Remember we praise in public and scold in private.

 

Private to CPL: 

Please ensure that you are keeping track of your private’s and their promotions. Ideally members who go past the 2 week mark of their CPL promotion eligibility should be sent a message directing them to either get a hold of an officer or they will be fluffed out of the squad. As squads continue to prepare and approach splits, it is ideal that you have NO overdue CPL promotions.

KSI Skarzx 77 Leadership Development Week 2 Class Monday July 29th, 2019 7 p.m EST 

KSI Ronin 77 Leadership Development Week 1 Class TBD.

 

Upcoming Squad Splits: 

As we are approaching a lot of upcoming squad splits due to the recent changes to the squads/officer requirements we will be working on a format that will be used as a template for all further squad splits. This template will be used to ensure that all squads in the process of splitting do so under the notion that everything that is required and needing to be done is completed before actually splitting. 

 

Division Transfers:     

Although no Div Leader wants to lose members we as leaders can not deny a Div Transfer. Each member of KSI has the right to move divisions if the division is not working for them anymore. It is unhealthy to keep people in a division if they do not want to be there anymore. Also there should never be ANY stipulation on any transfer for any reason. Understand that your Dir can and should brief the other Div Leader and their Dir of the member they are taking. 

 

Change Is Good 

Change can be difficult at times but it is a necessary step in KSI’s progression. We know that sometimes changes happen and you might not always see completely the reasons for said change, if that is the case it is best to ask in a civilized way the reasons behind the changes instead of jumping to conclusions. As KSI moves forward with a progressive mindset it is important to keep an open mind when it comes to trying new things. 

 

Forums Sign In 

If your having problems Signing in on the forums you can have an officer message Riot on the forums or you can message him on Xbox KSI Riiot 7 and he will be more than happy to help you out.

 

Donors 

Please make certain to join the VIP section by applying for the donor award. In order to qualify for this you just have to have spent 10 dollars by either subscribing to twitch tier 1 for two months (free with amazon prime) or tier 2 or tier 3 sub. One can also qualify for the donor award by donating bitcoins on twitter or by donating directly on the forums you just need to include a photo with proof of your donation. We have a special 3 day donors only event coming up next month where only those in the VIP section can participate. This is KSI’s way to thank all of you donors for helping out our community. 

 

Be respectful 

Please remember that all of us come from different walks of life. Please treat everyone with dignity and respect that you would like to be shown. Also you should know your audience and if someone doesn't like where the conversation is going or if you step over the line you can apologize and move on to a different subject. Remember we are all here to game and have fun with like minded individuals.

 

Members and Officers on LOA 

Just a reminder any member or officer that is on an LOA are not allowed to do anything related to KSI. This includes Omegas, Gamenights, meetings, and/or events. If their Omega is suspended during their LOA get with your Div Leader and they will get the Dir to unsuspend it. 

 

Pride 

It is good to have pride in your squad/Division but having too much pride can be as bad as having little or no pride. It is good to get in the spirit of hyping yourselves up but not at the expense of your fellow KSI members we all get in a bit of a funk squad or division wise but with hard work and dedication it is only temporary. We should show our support and solidarity as a community

Maintaining the Omega (Generals) (7/30/19)

Please make sure squad members game-types are set to the correct game-type to the squad they are in. It is also essential that we are ensuring that Privates are being trained and moved up in a timely manner.

It is also just as important we are ensuring all Corporals are active in some capacity and not just fluff.

Communication (7/30/19)

It is important to keep in constant and open communication with your fellow officers. The officer staff can and should be a cohesive unit working to solve any and all problems that might arise. It is crucial that you maintain open communication by posting in your perspective officer chats, private messages or by getting in party's together. You guys and gals are a team and should always be working together toward the greater good for your squad/division. To be patient with each other and work together toward a common goal of better Communication with everyone

Performance Operations Weekly Advice "POWA"

Micromanaging seems like a good idea at times but it actually proves to be detrimental in the long run. It’s very easy to assume control but if we do, it prohibits officers and members from learning from their mistakes. When we advise members in the decision making progress, it allows them to grow as leaders within the community. Remember to not take control when they make a mistake and do not abandon them but rather help them pick up the pieces again.

Part of maintaining your Omega is making sure it matches your squad tag. Keeping on top of the Omega and the squad is part of your job as GENs and its part of the 7 staff to make sure you are maintaining them properly. It is a good habit when you add or remove anyone from one remove or add them from the other right then.

Utilizing the Forums: (8/6/19)

It's important that we are making sure we are being active on the Forums and pushing all members to also be active. The earlier people are introduced to the Forums the better. It gives people a chance to get familiarised with the layout and general navigation on the forums as it can be daunting at first. Then when they become an officer they will already know the basics.

Member Retention (8/6/19)

Every rank from RCT all the way up is important! Too often do we see CPLs and PVTs getting lost within the daily doings of the community. As leaders and members of the community it is our job to ensure all members are being included in all activities within the squad and division. If there is a member you haven't spoken too or seen in the a squad meeting for a while, reach out to them, see what's happening. Ask them what kind of games and activities they want to see in the squad.

Disagreements on Discord (7/23/19)

Please remember the the COC applies in your discord server. When chatting in there it is the same as being in a party. We don’t want to break the COC. This means Officers especially, you should be setting an example for others to follow. If you have a problem with something posted by another officer. Don’t argue about it in the chat.

Squad Tag Messages: (7/30/19)

For a long time our Squad Tag messages that needed to be sent out weekly has been 3. After a lot of discussion we have made the decision to lower the message requirement to 2 messages a week. Try to make the 2 messages one a positive message and the other something related to the squad. For example a game night, the squad meeting, or a workshop.  

Observe and Report (7/30/19)

Open and honest communication is important when we see something that is wrong. Sometimes people make mistakes that they don't know or think they are making but we as officers or members can help point it out to them or those above them. That way they can be corrected before it continues on for too long and becomes a problem.

Know Your Limits (8/6/19)

It is important that when dealing with KSI issues that might come up not to take on more than you can handle. Even though you might think that you have things handled, it is easy to bite off more than you can chew or burn yourself out. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, it's not a sign of weakness it’s knowing your limits. We are all here to help each other out.

Clan Ops Notes: 

Cleaning Up Recruit/Squad Clubs & Tags: 

Please ensure that members promoted to PVT are being removed from your Recruit Club/Tag. When members are promoted to PVT, please ensure that they are being added to their squad club/tag at the time of the promotion or shortly after. This is to ensure that your tag is always up to date and accurate. This will also ensure that recruits are being promoted, and you are fluffing anyone overdue for promotion as they may no longer be interested in KSI. Generals and 7’s staff should work in unison to ensure that their clubs/tags are accurate and clean. 

 

Professionalism: 

Please remember that in this community, we highly value respect between members regardless of rank or stature. It is important that during normal conversation (and specifically when having an issue with a member or leader) that professional tones and languages are maintained. Leaders: Just because you have a rank doesn't mean you can talk to members however you please. Members: Although you do not have a rank to lose, you are a member of this community and thus will show respect to each other. Any violations of respect or unprofessionalism should be reported to the proper chain of command.  

Member Retention 

Every rank from RCT all the way up are important! Too often do we see CPLS and PVTS getting lost within the daily doings of the community. As leaders and members of the community it is our job to ensure all members are being included in all activities within the squad and division. If there is a member you think you haven't spoken too for a while, reach out to them, see what's happening.

Poaching

Please remember that poaching other people doesn’t just apply to other communities it also applies to your fellow KSI members. Sometimes we might hear our fellow members from another squad or DIV complaining about being unhappy. When this happens we can offer the advice of talking to their General. A lot of times the General doesn’t know that your not happy and given the chance they might be able to help improve your KSI experience. It’s not 

Training Officers/Potential Officers - 

Please make sure when training SGT and/or training SSGT - CPT , that you are covering every aspect of what is expected of an officer. Utilize all the educational materials at your disposal such as Recruiting workshops, CEP workshops etc. This will allow you to ensure that the next generation of officers are being prepped and trained properly and that will create the foundation that you squad and division can use to build upon for long term success. (Workshops can be found in the “Performance Operations and CDC” section on the main page of the forums; use the sub-section to find the CEP workshops or contact your PO rep)

 

Back to School Time -

Just a reminder school is starting all across the country so with that in mind please be understanding of our school age members. Make sure they understand that communication is the biggest tool. Let them know that they need to inform their officers of their sport schedules and any other schedules anyone has. 

 

Trust and Truth -

Part of being a member of KSI is having Integrity. A large Part in having a successful squad is always telling the truth and trusting that those officers above you can help out. We know that trust has to be earned (as it should be) but it is important to remember that those above you have been through said situation or know someone that can help. Withholding information hoping that it gets better or that I can quietly fix it later before someone notices is not healthy. Officers are here to help and can only help if they know what’s going on.

Communication -

It is important to keep in constant and open communication with your fellow officers. The officer staff can and should be a cohesive unit working to solve any and all problems that might arise. It is crucial that you maintain open communication by posting in your perspective officer chats, private messages or by getting in party's together.

Support Each Other 

As an officer it’s important to show support for your fellow officers. If a fellow officer is hosting a game night and your online either by yourself or with fellow squad mates you can and should join the game night and bring the others with you. We all know what it’s like to have no one show up to a game night but we can support each other, we’re all in this together.

It is important to keep in constant and open communication with your fellow officers. The officer staff can and should be a cohesive unit working to solve any and all problems that might arise. It is crucial that you maintain open communication by posting in your perspective officer chats, private messages or by getting in party's together. You guys and gals are a team and should always be working together toward the greater good for your squad/division. To be patient with each other and work together toward a common goal of better Communication with everyone.

KSL Tags 

All officers please remember to create KSL tags of yourself.  That way other hostile gaming community's can't trick unsuspecting members into joining their party's. Creating a KSL account only takes a few minutes and if you need any help creating one feel free to ask your Gen or one of your 7's. They will be more than happy to help.

Stay Safe 

Please remember to be safe and check party invites. It's a really good idea to check the profile of people especially if it's someone you don't know or somebody that doesn't usually invites you to party's. A few things to look at that are dead giveaways would be a 0 gamerscore, also look at the number of people following them. 

If it turns out to be a fake account just block them and move on once they are blocked they can no longer send you party invites or messages and you can safely go back to playing games and having fun.

Transparency 

Divisional & Squad Leadership - Please remember that although every decision may not be one open for discussion/debate, It is important to be as transparent as possible with the leaders and members beneath you. When making decisions about what direction a squad/division heads in or any promotions/demotions that may be received, It is important to keep those under you informed as to why these things are happening and why certain decisions are made. The ultimate way to reach a feeling of inclusion and family is for people to have their thoughts and feelings are taken into consideration.

 

Blacklisted/Security Risked Communities

Please remember that members and communities designated as Blacklisted (or Security Risked) are on a strict no contact policy. This means you are not to message them on any platform, join their parties and have discussions, etc. These individuals are designated as blacklisted for a specific reason; mainly it is to ensure the safety and security of all our members and the community as a whole. If a member of these communities reaches out to you , you are to screenshot the message , block the individual and report it to your Divisional 7’s staff. Please remember to always check who is inviting you before joining a party; Check Gamerscore, Following/Followers, if they are in your squad clubs, etc. Be Safe!

Blacklisted/Security Risked Communities are as followed:

           TSB, VoS, BEG, GRM, J2H, MEA and XDG


Leadership Development Class Sign-Ups: 

KSI Skarzx 77 Leadership Development Week 6  Class starts on 10/14/19 at 7 p.m est. 

KSI Gruntier 7 week 3 class will be held on Oct 13th at 8pm EST. There are currently 3 spots left open.

 

Omega Sign Ins 

Please make sure that you and your staff are signing into the omega. There should be no reason why multiple 7's and generals are going offline for 4, 6 or even 7 days. Please remember that we do get notified when you are off for 4 days and when you hit 7 you will serve a rank suspension.

 

NEW GAMES OCTOBER & Be Careful: 

This month we will be enjoying 2 new games being released on Xbox, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: BreakPoint. Recruiting tends to be very active especially with the new Call of Duty dropping. As always, make sure we are looking for active individuals with good personalities and be aware of any potential blacklist or security risk individuals trying to sneak into KSI. WE ARE INVITE ONLY community, if you are reached out to about getting recruited; direct that individual to join/rejoin section on the forums. 

 

Fall Classic Winners 

Division Leaders those that won 1-3 place for your divisions. On the ops server under claim prizes there will be new channels created in the next couple days to claim your winnings. 

 

Fall classic over 

With another fun and exciting fall classic behind us it's time to get back to business as usual by getting back in our usual routines and having fun playing games, recruiting, promotions etc…

 

Encouragement: 

Remember we as leaders are looked up to by our members and officers, so taking 5 min to give a member or officer a good job goes a long way. Asking and not demanding is such a better way to get your Div moving in the right direction. An officer telling a RCTing member that they did a great job on there last RCT can lead to more positive growth. Kindness and communication is a great tool for our members and each other.
 

Join Area 

Please make sure your members, officers, and generals know that the join area is for 7's usage only. There should be no reason why anyone besides the 7 staff of that respective division is posting. 

 

Teamwork

Teamwork is key to success. Everyone should be working together with their staff and making sure that the day to day operations are being fulfilled. If someone or multiple people are struggling, reach out and see what you can do to help. WE ARE A TEAM we're not just here to kick back and let everyone else do all the work while we watch and play games. Let's talk about CAP The New Discussion of The Month is up an it's all about CAP go share your thoughts on this subject

Join/Rejoin Applicants: 

Please remember when you send members to join/rejoin area to post an application , the following things are completed:

Member must create a forum account. If they already have a forums account they must use that to post application. IN THE EVENT, they forgot the password/email for the account then contact your divisional 7’s staff to help get in touch with a forum mod. (DO NOT TELL THEM TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW ACCOUNT)

The application is completed accurately and correctly (DOUBLE CHECK)

Make sure the member is keeping an eye on the application in case of any questions that need to be answered. 

Lastly, NO ONE besides the applicant, the join moderator and 7’s staff members should be posting on any join/rejoin applications. 

Security Checks : 

Please remember to do security checks on your members at least once a month. As people come into the community or leave the community sometimes you see some individuals on your members friends list that need to be removed (referring to blacklist or security risked members). This will help keep your division secure and safe.

When your officers come to you with issues please be understanding and work with them to fix the issue. We have to make sure we are on the same page as we teach our newer officers do these checks.

Communication 

It is important to keep in constant and open communication with your fellow officers. The officer staff can and should be a cohesive unit working to solve any and all problems that might arise. It is crucial that you maintain open communication by posting in your perspective officer chats, private messages or by getting in party's together.

Divisional & Squad Leadership - Please remember that although every decision may not be one open for discussion/debate, It is important to be as transparent as possible with the leaders and members beneath you.

Leadership Development Class Sign-Ups: 

KSI Gruntier 7 week 4 class will be held on Oct 27th at 8pm EST. There are currently spots left open.

This will be the last Leadership Development Class of 2019. After the first of the year we will start the classes again.

 

New Log Channel (Gens and up) 

You might have noticed a new useful channel in Discord server. It is an audit log of all deleted/edited messages. This channel Will help the Gens and 7's staff maintain and monitor what happens in their prospective server. If something was said in a channel but you were busy or at work this channel let's you know exactly what was said so that appropriate action can be taken to ensure a better KSI experience for all the members. 

Posting of screen shots and other info that needs to be filed for the division can be posted in this channel as well. I think it will be easier to look back on them and find them. Also GENs and up are the only ones with access.
 

Invite only parties 

It is important to remember that during peak hours officers should not be in invite only parties. It sets a bad precedent for our members and might make them think that we don’t want to include them. Sometimes we have to be in invite only parties for meetings and lockdowns but for the most part we can and should be in open party's interacting with other people.That is the reason why we joined KSI.

 

Member Retention 

Every rank from RCT all the way up is important! Too often do we see CPLs and PVTs getting lost within the daily doings of the community. As leaders and members of the community it is our job to ensure all members are being included in all activities within the squad and division. If there is a member you haven't spoken too or seen in a squad meeting for a while, reach out to them, see what's happening. Ask them what kind of games and activities they want to see in the squad.
