Important Announcement Regarding Forum Activity

by Colred, 27 days ago

[TCO public announcement]

Dear TCO,

As part of our constant efforts to maintain a top-notch gaming community, TCO leadership must periodically take certain actions regarding the activity levels of our membership. TCO's success as been as much a product of an active, friendly forum community as active, friendly in-game communities. We strongly encourage every member to visit our forums often, yet we generally keep our actual forum requirements light. At this point in time, TCO has a very large membership, a significant portion of which have not been active in the forums for quite some time. We want to discover which of those people are still planning on being part of TCO, and encourage them to come be part of our forum community. In order to do this, we're asking every recruit and member of TCO to help us out.

Here's the plan:

1. Recruits - in order to maintain an active application, all recruits must have a "last login" count of fewer than 30 days. Simply pulling up the website (tco.guildlaunch.com) while logged into your guildlaunch account will update your "last login" status. While you're logged in, why not pick a thread (any thread) and share a thought or greeting with the rest of us?

2. Members - in order to maintain active status, all TCO members must maintain a "last login" count of fewer than 90 days. If a member's inactivity exceeds 90 days, that member will be dropped to "inactive" status for another 90 days, after which he/she will be dropped from the official TCO roster.

As always, TCO is willing to make exceptions for unusual circumstances. If, at any time, you feel you will not be able to fulfill these requirements, but want to continue being a part of TCO, simply petition the Council for an exemption via forum PM or voice communication. We promise to keep all personal information private.

Recruits will have until January 15, 2012 to bring their accounts in-line with our activity policy. On January 16, 2012, all remaining inactive recruits will have their applications declined and their access to the member portions of the website removed.

The member activity rule is currently in effect, and inactive member reviews are ongoing.

This is where TCO leadership is asking for your help. If you have friends within the guild who rarely visit the forums, please contact them, let them know about our inactivity policy, and encourage them to stop by the website in the near future. While roster pruning is necessary maintenance, we'd prefer not to remove anyone who truly wants to be here. TCO is a better place with an engaged, lively, and diverse membership.

If you have any questions or comments, please go here.

Thank you for your help,

~The TCO Council & Officers
