Groups - Rules and Sign-ups

[Avalikia]

Rules:

1. A group must have at least 2 members (including the leader) at all times. Any group whose membership falls below this number will be dissolved. This number may be raised without warning if the admins feel that the number of groups needs to be reduced.

2. A group with 5 or more members is allowed to have a private board for group discussions only visible to group members and the staff, if requested - this will not be given automatically and must be asked for (have the leader send me a PM). If the total membership of the group later falls below 4 members, it will be deleted without warning. Note: RP is not allowed on these boards - it is for OOC discussions only.

3. When counting the number of group members, if the same player has multiple characters in a group then only one is counted.

4. Group leaders must remain active. If a member of a group feels that their leader(s) are not active enough, they may ask an admin to look into the situation. If the admin agrees that there's a problem, then the admin will transfer leadership to the member of the group who is the most active. A group leader need not be the character who leads the group ICly - it should be treated as an OOC position.

Sign-ups:
To create a new group, please copy the form below, fill it out, and post it as a reply to this thread. The admins reserve the right to refuse to create any group for any reason.

Is this group IC or OOC?  An IC group is a group of characters, while an OOC group is a group of players.

Is this group open or petition?  An open group is one that anyone can join at any time, while a petition group is one in which the group leader must accept any new members before they can join.

What is a member of this group called?  e.g. Bat Family Member -or- Gotham Rogue

Brief description of the group's purpose:
A quick, one paragraph explanation of why this group should exist will do.

Leader(s):
If this does not include you, then you're probably not the one who should be filling this out...

Starting Members:
Please verify that the other player(s) are okay with this first!  If some are being slow to respond, please note that you only need to reach the minimum number in order to create the group, and the stragglers can always be added in later.

All the above groups have been accepted and created - please let me know if you need any adjustments to the setup. To access the group's features, go to Profile -> Groups. Group leaders will note that they have access to a link where they can manage their group there. All group members will note that they can decide whether to appear as a member of that group in their mini-profile or not on Profile -> Edit Profile -> Settings, or if they'd rather appear as an ordinary member. (If you end up in multiple groups you can pick which one you appear as, as well.)

All groups are entitled to a special background pic for their mini-profile. This pic should be exactly 200x600px. Please note that it's a background pic that will be covered by text and things (see mine, as an example) - the bottom ends up being the most visible, and unless you tell me differently I'll assume you want the bottom of the picture to be at the bottom of the mini-profile, no matter how tall the mini-profile is. You can either make it yourself, get someone else to do it for you, or leave it up to me. (Though if you ask me I'll probably be really lazy about it right now since I have a lot to do...) I'll need a URL for the pic to make the awesome happen.
