Requirements for New Tier 2 Gaming Clans at DarkMatters

[gogoblender 3,068]

Tier 2 games are games that have arisen out of New and General Gaming section, have proven popular with a good number of FDM's community members, and have asked for more room than one thread.

 

Tier 2 gaming clans here at FDM are different from Sponsored games in that they have no direct link from the main index of DarkMatters, but can be accessed via the New and General Gaming Section where their own forum resides.

 

A game that has proven popular with the community can consider application for Tier 2 status and be granted the creation of it's own forums when the three following requirements are met.

 

1- Significant activity (posting) regarding the new game must be obvious, and continued activity must be observed for the Tier 2 clan to maintain it's boards here on site.

 

2- The choice of a Game Captain is made clear. This person will be the official liaison between the Tier 2 Clan and the admins here at FDM.

 

3- The name of the clan uses the word Dark as part of it's clan name. (The use of just Dark or D.a.r.k as a clan name is not permitted so as not to have a Tier 2 Clan confused for an officially sponsored gaming clan here at FDM.)

 

As a note, not all members of a Tier 2 Gaming Clan need be members of D.a.r.k Fellowship, with the roster being managed and adminned by the Game Captain and the clan in whichever way they feel works best.

 

Tier 2 games are not sponsored games, and are not sponsored by the site, are not connected to DarkMatters in an official capacity and hence, are not subject to any of the D.a.r.k. Clan rules. As such, they are more an informal gathering of this site's gamers and can be quickly formed.

 

Once a Game Captain for a new Tier 2 game has been chosen by that new group, and the alliance name has been chosen (with the word Dark either as prefix or suffix) the chosen Game Captain need only send a PM to any of the admins here at FDM stating that they are the chosen Game Captain and telling us what the name of the clan is and how many forums are needed with the names of the forums.

 

We can have the forums created and running within a few days, with the only thing different from officially sponsored D.a.r.k. clans being that no internal forums will be created for Tier 2 games as the creation of permission masks and new user groups is time consuming and hugely complicated on a forum with this many user groups already in place.

 

FDM will do the site moderation on the threads as regarding our TOS, but since Tier 2 games are not officially sponsored, we can't offer help regarding administration of the games itself regarding game captains, internal section, official clan sigs, official banners, official membership rosters, or custom skins (as per sponsored games ) for the forums.

 

Good luck and best wishes with your new game!
