Creating an account here

[Leftie]

In order to obtain full membership privileges in Off Duty, you need to create an account here so that you can read our rules.

Please make your user name something easily linked to your character. In other words, if your character's name is Bob, make your name here Bob as well.

Things to consider:

• You need a valid email address in order to get your user account approved.
  
• If you enter your birthdate incorrectly, you're stuck with it, so please be careful.
  
• If you're unable to register because the site says you're too young, please send in-game mail to Leftie so we can come up with a good solution.
  
• All other bits of information are things you will be able to change after you have the account, including your displayed name.
  
• While it is not necessary at this time of this writing, please activate your account. You can only do this if you have a valid email address. The only benefit this confers is help if you forget your password.

After creating an account, you need to wait about a day so your account here can be set to guildie status. If your username isn't immediately identifiable with a guild toon, please send in-game mail to Leftie. You need guildie status before you're able to access the rules section.

If you have no toons in the guild, you can still use this forum as a Friend of Off Duty, and your account will indicate that. If you haven't logged on in at least 6 months, your forum account will be deleted.

Guildies are not required to use this forum beyond reading the rules, but it is recommended.

Reminder: New accounts cannot access the rules immediately. Please be patient for the admin (Leftie) to update your account. If it appears to be taking too long, please send in-game mail to Leftie. You can also let any officer know, and they will pass the word on.

There are different accounts here on the Off Duty forum.

• Admin - that would be me, Leftie. I shape the forum's structure and am in charge of maintaining it.
  
• Guild master, Officer -- These are the same people/rank as they are in the guild in-game. They have certain admin-like abilities here, but they do not have access to your account information.
  
• Guildie - These are people who have toons in the guild. They have access to the Guild-only section.
  
• FriendOfOffDuty - These are usually ex-guildies who still have contact with the guild. They cannot access the Guild-only section.
  
• (none) - These are folks who have created accounts here but who haven't been elevated to guild status yet. It's the default account type. The reason why they aren't anything else is either that the account is brand new and hasn't been updated by the admin or else the username is something unidentifiable with a guild toon. We like to know who is who here, so please make your forum name something identifiable with your game toon. If you are not a member of Off Duty but want to create a new account here, please send the guild master or an officer in-game mail. We reserve the right to refuse non-guildies a "Friend of Off Duty" account here.
