Changes to Member,Trooper, Veteran Promotions 2014

[[DtK] [C] Squall]

Dear DtK Community,

There will be a major change made to the way promotions are done this year. As most of you would be aware, promotions have been done in the following manner previously;

For
N --> M (which is now automated)
M --> T
T --> V

ALL members of these ranks are processed. Checks are done if they have met certain criteria (active member, no significant bans,etc), if they meet the criteria , they get promoted, if they don't they either stay at current rank or get demoted.

For this years set of promotions (the 1st one starts in a few days), ONLY those members who apply to get promoted will get processed. Forms to apply for a promotion will become available shortly and those who think they deserve a promotion , will need to submit a form.

This will be advertised both on the forums and in game. The forms will be accessible for the whole of April and closed off at the start of May. The applications will then be processed and successful promotions announced towards mid May.

Simply put, if you aren't active on the servers or forum for over 30 days - you would miss out on the announcements about the forms and you would be considered an inactive member. Only active members will get processed provided they meet other criteria.


Demotions process will be similar and scripts will be run to find inactive members. (meaning only inactive members will be processed against the demotion criteria). Demotions due to signification bans/infractions will no longer be part of the promotions process, members with signification bans/infraction will simply be demoted as their bans/infractions reach a certain threshold. There will be also a tougher stance against members who have no community spirit and no pride in the community they are part of - this includes demotions/bans.


Stay tuned and all the best for your new ranks.

If any of you are curious. Click the link or go to the 'Member list' page from the 'Community' drop down. http://www.dying2kill.com.au/memberlist.php

Edit: oops, that only shows the join date to forums. Not Neo accept date. To do that, go to your own profile, click 'View all threads started' and go to the last page. Most likely in there.

Just to avoid confusion guys, [Neophytes I mean] this link is to show your forum join date, if you want your "promoted to Neo" date, just go to your "created threads" on your own profile, find the application you made, and then note the date that the Staff member has accepted you into the Neophyte ranks. Then it's just 3 months from that point.
Or just PM me and I'll let you know if you're still unsure/too lazy

So just a clear up Squall, does being a "inactive member" mean not accessing the forums or in-game at all? example: a simple log-in with no actual participation for 30 days would still mean a demotion even for the "V" ranks?
I just don't have the time to actually post and get involved like I use to, I always thought as-long as I log into forums I was fine?

Inactive member would be one who does not keep up with what's happening with the community, if you are logging in to the forums, you wouldn't be considered inactive. (even if you aren't posting)
