Who can create user groups?
Anyone is able to create user groups. But only admins can make the group for you. This is to restrict members. We don't want everyone creating hundreds of groups for everything. So to make a user group you can either purchase it using forum coins. Or purchase Premium membership. Premium members receive 2 free user groups.
What is a user group?
User groups are sort of an extension to our forum. They're much like guilds, or clans. The user group leader is able to send out mass pm's to his user group, he's able to accept or deny user group applications.
User groups are great for guilds. If you run a guild, you can create a user group for it. And everyone in that user group can receive a notification when needed. For instance if your the leader, and your guilds about to go pink bean, You can simply send everyone in the group a message at ounce.
Perks of a user group?
User groups receive their own forum section, that only the members in the group can view. Your user group forums will contain.
Group Requests-this section is only viewable by the group leader.
General Group Chat
Boss & Party recruitment
Other
Trash-this section is only viewable by the group leader.-This section will be recycled when necessary.
Can Leaders of user groups make other sections?
No. The sections stated above are everything your group will receive. If you wish to make your own custom ones, this is possible. But it will cost extra.
How's the privacy work?
Moderators will not be able to view your group chats. The only person who is able to see the group chats is Tetris. Please understand even though the rules are not very strict with user groups, their still are some. Which someone has to enforce.
Can user group leaders create their own rules for their group? Also if so how do they enforce them?
Yes you may create rules for your group, but the original group rules MUST be followed by your group members.
Group leaders are able to sticky threads,delete,move, ect,ect. They can pretty much do everything a moderator can do, but only to their group sections.
Can group leaders ban users?
Group leaders are able to remove members from the group. But they cannot actually ban someone from the forums.
Can their more be then 1 group leader?
Yes there can be as many as you'd like. It's all the creators choice. For example if the leader of the guild fallenstarz made a group, he can add all his guild members into it, and anyone who's a jr in the guild, he can make them a group leader/jr in his group. He can choose what they're able to do, and what not.
Can user groups make an alliance?
Yes indeed they can. If your in an alliance with another user group you'll be able to see each others posts and sections, and even post in each others sections.
So is this all done by the group leader, or is most of it done by Tetris, the admin?
Group leaders are only able to recruit, remove, and send out notification. The rest is done by Tetris. But luckily, all Tetris does is read pm's and deal with this stuff. So it shouldn't take more then a week to finish something.
If your running a group, the group leader will have a hidden group request section. Simply post something their that you want Tetris to see, and he'll do his best to finish whatever it is as fast as possible.
