Limitations: (
Applications/Dismissal). The following limitations govern member admission in cases of dismissals.

Definitions:
The term "Invite Applicant" means a person who has been invited to apply.
[8]The term "Self Applicant" means a person who applies without an official invite to apply.
The term "Clan Trial Member" means a 1up applicant who has been awarded the 1up tag and accepted into the 1up Clan on a probationary period. The probationary period runs a minimum of 30 days up to a maximum of 90 days. The term shall not apply to any person who has not been awarded the 1up clan tag.
The term "Hacker" means a person who used or uses cheats or exploits (i.e., aimbot, wallhack, radar, mombot, etcetera).
Commentary:
Relationship. Once an application for admission to 1up Clan has been filed, each member should attempt to establish a relationship with the applicant. The value of a good relationship between clan members is an important factor to consider in deciding what vote to cast in the Clan Review Vote.
70% Requirement: The applicant needs a 70% majority vote to gain acceptance:
A). 70% Yes. In the event that the applicant receives at least 70% of "yes" votes, the applicant will be approved as a Clan Member.
B). 70% Trial. In the event that the applicant receives at least 70% of "trial" votes, the applicant will be approved as a Clan Trial Member.
C). 70% Combo. In the event that the applicant receives at least 70% between a combination of "yes" and "trial" votes, the applicant will be approved as a Clan Trial Member.
Voluntary Vote. Effective October 28, 2010, voting is a voluntary act; mandatory voting requirements are repealed.
__________________________
Amendment of May 15, 2010 altered the wait time before voting on a self applicant from a ten (10) day waiting period to a thirty (30) day waiting period.
Amendment of July 6, 2010 clarified the maximum limbo time for insufficiently presented applications for admission: "If an application is deficient it shall be dismissed within 3 days by either the Founder or the 1up Application Manager."
Amendment of October 28, 2010 repealed mandatory voting and created a voluntary voting state for full 1up Members who had 90 days or more in the seat of a 1up Full Member. Any 1up Full Member who held voting rights on the date of the new voting amendment was grandfathered into the voluntary voting group.
Amendment of March 23, 2011 limited the number of times a person may reapply to 1up after being denied admission; limited the number of times a person who has resigned or been removed from 1up may reapply for admission. Policy shall permit the use of invite applications to prevent abuse of the application process.
Amendment of June 9, 2012 changed the wait time on a "self-applicant" from 30 days to 10 days before permitting an admission vote to be called.
Amendment of April 12, 2013 changed the title from "New Member Admission" to "Single Member Admission" to prevent confusion between the "Clan Merger Admission" policy enacted on April 12, 2013.
_______________________________Repealed Amendments.
The following amendment is
repealed:
Amendment of September 1, 2010, a legal construction of the 30-day wait period for reapplying to 1up. The amendment provides an express and clarifying interpretation of the 30-day wait period: "If an application for admission to 1up is dismissed due to a deficiency, then the dismissed applicant must wait a minimum of 30 days before refiling a second or successive application for admission to 1up." Prior to the express and clarifying interpretation, 1up maintained the 30-day wait period as a matter of custom. The September 1, 2010 clarifying amendment construed the meaning of the term "denied admission" as used in the "Limitations" section to incorporate a person who files a deficient application for admission which is dismissed.
