Your very own usergroup

Post #1

Post by otseng »

Now, you can have your very own usergroup. Post in this thread the name that you'd like. I'll make sure the name conforms to the standards of this site and deduct 2500 tokens from you. Then, you'll be the owner and member of that usergroup. By default, people will be able to freely join your group. Or you can choose to confirm membership requests.

To request your personal usergroup, provide the following:
- Name of usergroup (40 character limit)
- Description (255 character limit)
- Note if you want to confirm membership from others (default will be no)

For an additional charge of 10,000 tokens, you can also have your own subforum for your usergroup. Please provide the following info:
- Name of usergroup (40 character limit)
- Description (80 character limit)

Subforum activity requirement:
- Subforums must maintain some activity in it. Subforums that do not have any activity for six months can get removed (posts made to simply bump threads do not count). There will be no refunds given for any subforums removed.

Additional restrictions:
- Do not add people to your group without their permission. Otherwise I will delete your group.
- Descriptions cannot point to personal websites. If a link is found to point to inappropriate and/or offensive material, the group will be deleted.

1/3/2011 Modification:
- Changed group price from 500 to 1000 tokens
- Changed subforum price from 2000 to 5000 tokens

1/12/2013 Modification:
- Added subforum activity requirement

12/31/2016 Modification:
- Changed group price from 1000 to 2500 tokens

I would like to propose a user-group AND a sub-forum entitled "Physical Fitness and Health" (if I have the necessary tokens).

"Group for members who emphasize physical fitness and healthy living / eating in their lifestyle"
Done. 6000 tokens deducted.

Hi otseng

I would like to create a new usergroup....

Satanist

Description - Group for members who are open-minded, and who value compassion, justice, humor, and the light of knowledge.

Yeah, I know. But it's not actually about worshipping Satan :?

It's more like this.
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto His people. Exodus 32:14

This doesn't really match the commonly accepted usage of Satanist. Perhaps something more like "The Satanic Temple" or something like that?

Hi otseng

I like your idea better actually. Here is my amended request.

Usergroup : Satanic Temple Member

Description : The mission of The Satanic Temple is to celebrate our individualism and humanity, embrace practical common sense and justice, as well as encourage benevolence and empathy among all people.

This usergroup would be open to all.

The description is copied straight from the official website. I have applied for membership and don't anticipate any problems, but if you would like me to confirm my membership I will be happy to do so. TST is considered a religion so it falls within the usergroup guidelines. Also, since Satan is considered the Adversary by the Abrahamic faiths, I think the symbolism is appropriate for a debate site.

Thanks for considering my request, and thanks for running this forum. I've had a lot of fun here over the years.
