Change in Membership Status

[MasterkennyG]

Effective Today the way to become a member and regular has changed. A year ago people would be give regular status by admins. We recently changed it so that players could simply fill out a form to become a regular and with a simple background check they would get approved.

 

The problem with that setup was that people who know nothing about our community could become "Regulars" as long as they didn't have any recent bans against their steam id. That de-valued the reputation of the regulars group by allowing anyone who could stay ban free to use the tag. Below is the new membership structure:

• Players can fill out our Become a Member form to officially join our community. As long as they pass a background check they will be approved and can use the tag of SG.Mem.
   
  
• Members who decide to stay active on our forum will be automatically upgraded once they have been a forum member for 2 months and have 100+ posts. Once their forum group is upgrade they can then use the SG.Reg tag.
   
  
• Honorable Gamers are long time members of this community who have been around for 6 months and have a minimum of 400 posts on our forum. The promotion to Honorable gamer is automatic once you have met the minimum requirements.
  

 

*Current Regulars who used the old system to become a regulars will be allowed to keep the SG.Reg tag. This only affects future members.

 

the trick we should do is not tell the new members that they will gget promoted with 2 months on forums and 100 posts .. but we should hint it to them, it might be better to avoid spammed posts, like just let the members know that activity might helpin your promotion.
