Change in Membership Status

[Haggard]

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 (http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1) 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.

YAY! :amuse:

[Silentfaith]

Great idea, it was way to get to get reg before. Good stuff :)

[Tcp-Kill]

Nice, see you done it :P

[Cooki3Monsta]

Yess! We can actually have "Regs" now instead of random people.

Great idea, at least we'll get to know the Regs now.

[Chêvouÿx]

Huzzah! and Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Thank you, Haggard. Now peace will become a normality. This community is becoming better by the days :thumb:

Good luck to future Regs!

Sweet. Now I'll actually know the regs in game. I'm tired of going into a game and seeing a new reg thinking "Who the fuck is that?"

[SilentGuns]

Good... Now there won't be dumb regs who say ''Im in a clan called SG''. ITS A COMMUNITY , DAMN IT! lol

[ReneGade]

rofl I would still not even be eligible to be a Reg yet if this system was in place before lol

[CandleJack]

great Idea Haggard

[Jazz]

Nice, like it!

[DoubleSb]

Yay, now n00bs won't mistake my SG.reg tag the way I put it :]

[MasterkennyG]

wait .. so will we be having a usergroup for members and a seprat usergroup for regulars? and can we make it that regs should have o be active in vent aswell because that would help get our vent status up ..

[F1shst1cks]

I like this. I've seen a few randoms with the Reg tag on a few SG servers, but have never read a word from them on the forums.

...this may need to be bulleted in the 'Memberships Request' forum, in case some players wonder why they weren't granted Membership status.

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.

[Determined2Win]

[trakaill]

[Blue Wolf X53]
