VIP Announcement and Final R&R Format

[ChosenOne2000 4440]

VIP

 

The announcement you've all been waiting for; the inaugural class of VIPs. Of course, much debate was had on who would receive the coveted position in the clan. In the end, ALL 21 staff members had a democratic vote on which members to elect to VIP. The voting took place over the course of a 24 hour period. The selected VIPs had to achieve a vote of 7 or higher to be inducted into the fraternity. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the August 1, 2013 class of VIPs.

Ranks and Recruitment Reform

The long awaited revisions of R&R are complete and are VERY player AND forum user friendly. The C12K and DP would like to thank the members of the R&R Reform Committee for assisting in this monumental endeavor. The real charm is the hot new ranking system. sGr staff voting occurs on the 15th (staff only; 2 weeks to vote) and member voting occurs on the 1st (1 month to vote). Staff voting doesn't occur for L2 and L3 members (time/post/server based promotions). Staff voting occurs for sGr and VIP ranks only. Legendary requires JCS votes only. This new system goes into effect LATE August 1, 2013. Learn it now! Ask questions! 

Demotions:

 

You can't have promotions without demotions. Medium, old, and elder players aren't safe. sG has VETs who haven't logged into the forums in over 2 years! You don't have to post, but you have to at least view the forums. We will be screening the ranks for demotions for inactivity. Real life happens, we get it. To HELP avoid demotions, make an AFK thread in the members section and include the following:

·         Why you're going AFK

·         How long you plan on going AFK

The AFK thread doesn't guarantee you won't get demoted, but it will provide special consideration for extended periods of inactivity. People who come back after being demoted, will have to show 30 days of activity to get their rank back; PLUS another 30 to keep it. Be active or be gone.

Voting:

The staff wanted the VIP rank, VETs, LEG, and the SOs to have a greater influence on who joins the community. This is why the staff will decrease their point value in voting and give increased voting power to the VIPs, SOs, LEG, and VETs. From now on, staff votes will be +3, the VIPs, SOs, LEG, and Vets +2, everyone else +1.

Yes [Community] + 1
Yes [sO/VIP/VET/LEG] + 2
Yes [staff] + 3
Abstain:
No [Community] - 1
No [sO/VIP/VET/LEG] - 2
No [staff] - 3

R&R Reform Highlights:

 

·         No more post waivers.

·         Tenure ranks vs appointed ranks.

·         Donor perks.

·         Demotions.

 

Definitions:

 

·         Specialization: No more waivers. A member can claim servers or the forums as their primary medium. Whatever the member's deficit in their secondary medium; they can perform extra credit in their primary medium for promotion. Formula: % short in secondary medium = % over in primary medium.

 

Example: A new player has 30 hours on the servers and 100 posts. He wants reach the Member rank. His has 30/50 hours. Thus, he is short 20 hours (20/50 = 40%). Meaning he needs 40% ABOVE 50 posts for the extra credit. In short, he needs 70 posts to qualify for Member.
