1.) Members are required to have and use Windows Live Messenger, XFire, or Steam and supply a valid e-mail address upon joining the clan. You should supply an e-mail address you check regularly.

2.) Members MUST respect other members with high ranks. It doesn't matter what division; if someone is a high rank in one division they must have done something to get that rank so show some respect.

3.) Members cannot do anything that would give the clan a bad reputation. For example members shouldn't cheat, get in fights with other clans, or bad mouth others in the gaming community. The use of glitches and exploits is also considered cheating.

4.) Members are not to openly accuse others in the gaming community of cheating without proof. If you have proof that one of the LDB Members uses cheats or glitches, please send the proof to the division leader for that specific game or the clan leader.

5.) The minimum age for new members is 12 years old. If we set the age limit too high we run into problems with members not being here a lot due to friends, jobs, sports, relationships... With the limit being 12 we run into less problems with severely immature members but still have those who will be around a lot. Be aware, we do talk about some things that have a mature subject matter and tend to use adult language regularly. Please be considerate around out younger members but sometimes shit happens. Although the "minimum" may seem low to some, the average age of members is around 20.

6.) Members are not allowed to initiate an OFFICIAL match against another clan/squad without their division leader's approval. Due to the complexity of matches (what members play, when, where, maps, host...) they must go through the division leader. You can play with/against other clans for fun and training purposes but don't call it a "match". We don't want some n00b clan running around going "Ha we beat..." because some fake match was thrown together in 3 minutes.

7.) One of the big parts of being in a clan is recruiting. Members must ask their division leader if they are able to recruit. Only approved members (most of the time the higher ranking ones) are allowed to recruit. Recruiters must inform their division leader of new recruiters that way they know who are members and who may be fakes.

8.) LDB has a policy of no double clanning. This means that while you are member of LDB you cannot be a member of a different clan in the same game. Being in a clan is difficult with all of the different obligations people have like school, work, families and friends. It is difficult enough to devote time to one clan let alone multiple. We want loyal, dedicated members.

In a similar sense, members are expected to wear their LDB tags (whatever variation the division leader has decided to use) while playing the various games we are involved in. To take off the tag is symbolic of renouncing your clan mates. Once again, it just shows that you don't want to be around or associated with us.

We've seen a lot of members come and go over the last decade and those that are kind of with us and kind of not are not really worth the time. These members become more of an aggravation than friendly contributing members.
