Some of you are probably wondering why you're no longer in BBB Imp 1, so this post will hopefully clear up any confusion about that.
There were 2 primary reasons behind the excessive kicking this week:
Lack of space in guild Since this was the first time Iokath has ever come up for conquest, we had a huge chunk of our own members migrating to Imp 1 for the achievement/title. We also had many non-BBB people temporarily joining us this week, with the same goal of getting that cheevo and title. This resulted in an extremely overfilled guild and a constant battle with the 1000 member cap. In order to deal with this, we kicked any BBB Imp 1 toons that hadn't logged in throughout the conquest week and any BBB Imp 1 toons who weren't earning conquest points at all.
Non-guildies trying to use us Just like when Yavin/Rishi come up for conquest, we experienced a huge surge of non-BBB players trying to join us this week. So many of these people join at the start of the week, get their 20k conquest points, then leave the next week after getting their rewards. Furthermore, a lot of these people are very vocal about their distaste for our guild and even belong to competing conquest guilds. They simply throw a toon in BBB for the week to use us for their title + achievement. We refuse to tolerate that shit, so any non-registered members were purged. Staff also put toons into competing guilds, and guilds that are a little too "loud" about BBB, and screenshotted their entire guild rosters. The legacy names on that list are compared to legacy names in our own guild, then those found to be "playing both sides" are removed.
Obviously there's bound to be a few people who ended up as collateral damage, but that could have easily been avoided. The Message of the Day in BBB Imp 1 stated that you must register on bbbswtor.org and put your username in your member note if you wish to get the Iokath conquest rewards. It said this all week long and we refuse to accept responsibility for accidentally kicking a legitimate member who couldn't take a moment to follow simple instructions. Also, if you have a common legacy name that is used by someone in a competing guild, that is not our problem either. Do yourself and everyone else a favor: Get a unique legacy name.
We apologize if anyone was wrongly kicked for something outside of these listed reasons. You can thank BioWare for their non-legacy guild member system and all the non-BBB shitters out there who think they can use us for cheevos.

I can tell you that over 2/3 of those at FBI Informant rank had no member note this morning. Those were removed first. Simple instructions were posted on the MOTD in IMP 1 all week long. No member note = kicked.
Secondly, those that had a member note were verified on the website. There were several at FBI Informant rank whose member note "registered" names were actually NOT registered at all. Also, kicked. Third, if you registered, posted your name in your member note, it was verified on our website, but you only joined/registered this week and shared a legacy name with anyone in a competing guild (especially Intergalactic Imperium, who were in second place and our only "competition"), you were also kicked.
We are very serious about this remaining a BBB only title. If you are serious about helping us keep it that way, rejoin the guild... earn some ranks around here and become known so that the next time this comes around you are known as a loyal BBB member without question.
EDITED TO ADD: We are currently checking the list of associates, and just because you haven't been removed yet does not mean you are "safe". Don't be in competing guilds, and have a unique legacy name, or be around here enough that we know you better. This is the best advice I can give you with regard to earning rare Conquest Titles with us. Thank you for understanding.

Am I the only one who initially read the title of this thread to be "Iokath Conquest Week: "Why the guild kicked ass?"? I was thinking, well, this shouldn't come as a big surprise... we all work hard to make sure that we continue to be the best week after week, after week....
Then, when Siino's post really didn't make a lot of sense I read the title correctly!

New to BBB and Harb Server and I like that this was done. Freeloading off of others who worked hard is absolutely fucked up!

I recently transferred to this sever, joined BBB somewhat in the middle of conquest week, most toons where in IMP2 or on the PUB side... On my main Op in Imp one I was accumulating points daily via FPs, PvP, Ops, Crafting, helped out in commander runs and the big Iokath droid kill (Even though I didn't get credit..Bug) but was still kicked... what gives. Main toon's name is Llanessa. *EDIT* Oh and I did register on this site obviously. I did it the moment I actually joined the guild... it was also labeled on my toon's guild note.

Then you quite likely were in category #3 listed in my post in this thread. Many others were also. You are welcome to join the Guild again on the character that was removed, earn some easy member promotions simply by completing conquest for a few weeks on any one of your characters (only one needed per week for a promotion), and have a more solid rank when iokath comes around next time. I will even bump you an extra rank now for rejoining. See me in game to make this happen.

I have noticed that registration occasionally takes awhile for the new member to populate in the search function and I've taken someone's user number to find them- pay it note, that only applies to very new members and I've only seen that happen intermittently so new members who join us during a major week- like Iokath, Rishi or Yavin should make sure to post as well as with any site, technical issues happen, that or put their userid number on the forums in their member note as well which I've noticed is infallible.
To clarify the point as not being unfair, our members spend so much on materials during a crafting week and work so hard for that 'sure thing' and across the board every week really. They work incredibly hard to make Blood Bath and Beyond the force you see weekly dominating the boards and the rewards of that dedication are for them. I wish there wasn't collateral but the alternative is our guild members spending unneeded credits competing against a lead helped by those wanting a free title and then exit stage left. The people who vote kick, tunnel, insult and squelch on our guild name daily- I've honestly never found it a compliment to be told I'm a good player- why am I in Blood Bath and Beyond? The big Republic guild I was in of apparently nice people before I pulled all my characters in made sure to make all the comments when I naively told them I was in this guild on Imperial side- which made it all the easier to exit stage left with Alexandria when a call went on on Republic side for help.
And you know what? What makes us different isn't exactly rocket science to copy but they don't want to put in the effort that would benefit their own members and want us gone. Because why the frell would you want to stay part of <Insert your guild name here> when all the content, entertainment and ability to participate is in the first position every week? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all other guilds are evil, what I'm saying is the people trying to play two sides are either in a position where they get to do stuff that I guarantee you 90 percent of their guild don't get the chance to or learn or are one of the majority and don't understand that even were you to sneak a title from us, that guild you're in- it's not the Conquest title you were being deprived of.

We checked without using search, if they were registered we would have found them. But Replica's point is true: you should make even more sure your rank and/or website name is in your member note, spelled accurately (had a few misspellings this morning) so we can verify your membership.

Indeed, it's not rocket science. It's a lot of hard work on the part of BBB's officers, incredible guild organization, and player support. Thank you officers!

I myself am a recent server transplant, which has been in BBB for only a couple of weeks. I made it "official" when I signed up on the board this week and posted my registered name on my member note. I spoke with Babydoll on vent thought I had an understanding that if I did everything they asked me to, I wouldn't be kicked. Nope, still got the booterang. My other characters are still in Imp 2, Imp 3 and Pub 2 and Pub 3. I wasn't trying to take advantage of anything, and plan to stay, it just sucks this happened.
Just to point out, both of my crafters in Imp 1 were set to Associate after verifying I had signed up. I don't know who gave me the rank, but it was verified and promoted. As I said, I transferred here a couple of weeks ago from Jedi Covenant.

I understand why some where kicked, But doing the conquest I feel that I shouldn't been one of those that got kicked- I completed the conquest's goal and shouldn't of got kicked for any reason, I was playing and added towards the conquest points, as I'm just a waiting for the achievements as many as you are. Also would like to add I have been in the guild since summer of 2016 with other toons that keep on getting kicked why is this?

Might want to read " Official Guide to BBB" for starters maybe, especially rule #1 and #2... Also re-read the original post in this thread again with a little more comprehension.
