' Wrote:Back before the "Faction Creation Request" subforum a group that wanted faction approval HAD to get the admins to sign off on an idea BEFORE posting it, THEN the community would rip them apart.
So they weren't automatic shoo-ins before this new subforum.
Not entirely true.
For a short period, that's how things were. Before that, people just got five members together, and created a faction. Eventually they posted an official faction status post. It was considered good form to talk to people, but not mandatory to talk to anyone at all.
