ATTENTION! — News, 05:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC). There is currently an ongoing discussion for a near complete overhaul of the rules pertaining to placement of Advertisements and Maintenance of Recruitment. Users are asked to add their opinions.

Format for Posting Adverts

• The entire advert content is "encased" in a table. This prevents one advert's formatting from affecting other adverts due to image "text flow" and so on.
• "Group Name/Recruit" is a normal wiki page that contains the content of the advert. Using the curly brackets and colon inserts your advert page's entire contents onto this page, just as if it were a template.
• "Type" is the type of group. Generally one of the following, but you are free to choose your own: Survivor Group, Zombie Group, PKer Group, Mixed Group, or Organization.
• You MUST put the following categories on your "Group Name/Recruit" page:

<noinclude>[[Category:Group Subpages]]</noinclude>

or

<noinclude>[[Category:GROUP NAME HERE]]</noinclude> if your group has a category of its own.

• Additionally you should add:

<noinclude>[[Category:Recruitment|TYPE]]</noinclude> where TYPE is your group type.

• Place your advert in alphabetical order by group name. Adverts not posted in the proper alphabetical order will be moved.
• Large Groups or Organizations with significant subgroups are limited to one advert. This includes groups such as the DHPD and the DEM, they may use their advert to direct players to the separate sub-groups.
• The advert must have a timestamp (five tildes - ~~~~~) or a signature with an attached timestamp. This can be placed either on this page or on your adverts page.
• After two months as measured from the timestamp the entire advert may be removed for inactivity. It is the group’s responsibility to update the timestamp to prevent the advert being deleted. Updating the timestamp may and should be done at any time while the group is still recruiting.
• Adverts which do not use the format below or fails to adhere to the guidelines above will be commented out. This can be done using comment tags - <!-- ... -->. A dated comment will be left in the edited section explaining why the advert page was dis-included; if the advert is not fixed within two weeks, the entire section will be removed.

Format for Advert Content

• Your adverts formatting must not break the page. Preview before you save!
• When viewed on an 800*600 resolution, as a rough guideline your advert should not exceed 800px in height.
• When viewed on an 800*600 resolution, your advert should not cause a horizontal scrollbar to appear.
• All images used in the advert must not come to a grand total of more than 56KiB (56K).
• No templates are allowed in your advert for technical reasons. Before you put up the advert, use subst to replace any template calls with the template's code.
• No subheadings.

Helpful Guidelines for Advert Content

Clearly written adverts which contain requirements for membership at the start or in bold, as well as a method of contact and reasons for joining your group, normally get the most response. Remember, this advert represents your group. The easier it is to read and understand, the better. Attractive formatting and helpful links will also attract prospective members. If your group is active in a specific area or areas, it is a good idea to provide this information - not all people are willing to travel.
