Inactive accounts

[admin]

If at any point you need to go inactive within EU for a long period of time or decide that you are leaving EU altogether, please have the courtesy to notify other members of the society beforehand. Due to differences in playing times/time zones, it can be quite difficult to keep track of who is active and who is not. We do not wish to have a society full of dead/inactive accounts. To ensure that you are counted as an active member of the society, update your personal information at the society terminal approximately once a month by clicking on the "i" by your name in the society member list, and typing in the current date and clicking OK. This information will be checked if you are suspected of inactivity. If the information in the society terminal is not current and you are suspected of inactivity, you will be demoted as a warning. Once you have been demoted, you will have 3 weeks to update your personal info at the society terminal. If it has not been updated within 3 weeks, you will be kicked from the society. You may re-apply upon your return to EU if you have been dismissed from the society due to inactivity.


To ranking officials: please try to ensure that all existing members and future newcomers are made aware of this rule. (Please explain how to use the society terminal if necessary)    Thank you!

Ice, it appears that the "Description" section is not editable by the lowest level members.

hmm, maybe if they can't do it ingame then we should make a place for them to put it on the forum

They are unable to press the "i" by their name in the member list to add comments?  Very odd indeed.

Ideally I really would like for everyone to have a forum account, but in reality we cannot force people to join the forum, especially not at first. Since most of the lowest ranking members are brand new OJs, I'm sure some of them are somewhat skeptical of visiting and registering for a site run by complete strangers, or perhaps don't think it's really all that important to do so. This is why I decided on the Sergeant rank to be the rank required to have a forum account, and not for the first promotion...once they have some time invested into the society and get a promotion & start to get to know people & make friends within the society, then they will be more comfortable with & more willing to join & register with our forum.

Hmmm well....I suppose if they really can't edit that information in the society terminal, then what we could do is just be sure to try to inform everyone that we will be going through the member list once a month to clear out inactive members of the society roster. We will have to do this via word of mouth, be sure to tell each individual as you see them sign in or whatever, and ask the members who are already aware of this to pass the info on to other members that they see.

This is the information that we should give our members: Our first roster cleansing to clear out inactive society members will be on Jan 8th, and will happen once a month on the second Saturday of every month therafter. All members are encouraged to be active within the society chat, even if it is only saying hello when logging in, so that we know you are still actively participating in Entropia. Registering and posting on our society forum will also ensure that we know you are active. Since we may make mistakes at times, if you are accidentally kicked from the society for being suspected of inactivity, you may re-apply at a society terminal and we will re-accept your application.

We will have to pass this information on to as many current society members as possible, as well as inform newcomers to the society shortly after they join.

It seems I had my days mixed up a bit when I posted the date    That date should be Jan 12th, Saturday.

I'm at school atm as I post this  and was in school yesterday at this time as well...so am unable to log into EU to help go through the list until Saturday.

I will be available Saturday evening my time (EST), after 8pm...let me know when you guys would be available that way we can go through the list together to try to make sure we don't accidentally kick anyone who is indeed active.
