One of the things that makes Xiled Gaming Network stand apart from any of the other gaming communities, is the fact that we have a very organized ranking structure.  Each rank has its own requirements, duties and, responsibilities.  When members are performing their duties it creates an easy flowing squad, and when all squads are on the same level, the division will be running smoothly.

Now there will always be members that try to throw a stone in the smooth stream to make ripples, but as long as we do our jobs we can prevent the ripples from taking too much effect.
