[Traser]

Group Creation Guide.
^{Original topic by : JayL, Edited by : Traser}

I decided to make up a few tips to people who are thinking about making up new groups...  Before starting, I'd like to make it clear that the board moderators can un-sticky/unlock the topic if they find it unsuitable in any way.

Ask yourself these questions before making a group:

1. Are you sure players would consider joining your group?
^{Investigate, think, ask your friends, make sure some would try joining your group when you create it...}

2. Are you sure you could maintain the group for long?
^{Think of your responsibilities, of your time you spend on Argonathc ommunity, are you able to handle your group? Are you able to put someone trustworthy in your charge in-case you go inactive?}

3. Do you have enough experience in Argonath community?
^{It's not about prohibitting new players to make their own groups, but, are you sure you have enough experience regarding the community in order to manage your group (e.g. knowledge about community rules in order to make a group that doesn't break rules)...}

4. Are you aware of the clans and groups rules? Do you know them?
^{Make sure you're aware of these rules before making up your group, so you wouldn't have problems while handling it.}

5. Is there a group with this name already?
^{Search, make sure there's no group with that name before making it.}


Last, but not least: Avoid maximumly conflicts between topics ('copying' others' topics' layouts, etc.), and always report if someone posts an unsuitable reply in your topic.
