Guidelines for AresServ groups

It is strongly suggested that these guidelines are read carefully and followed closely in order to help you submit a request that will accepted.

• Understand that AresServ groups are intended for groups, they are meant to be shared by users in a community, and are thus different from Vhosts.
• If you already have an AresServ group DO NOT APPLY FOR ANOTHER ONE, it will be rejected. First leave your current group, see AresServ/LeavingGroups for more information.
• If you are not fairly high up on the access list of the associated channel, DON'T BOTHER.
• Don't get other people to apply on your behalf, this almost always results in losing control of your group.
• Use as few periods (.) as possible, the more you have the less likely your request will be accepted.
• This is not your domain, do NOT submit things like mycooldomain.co.za, these will be rejected outright.
• Only use alphanumeric characters (a-Z, 0-9), . and -.
• Don't include your nickname, this will be prepended (inserted at the beginning) to your user mask automatically.
• Requests are scored based on various criteria:
  • First and foremost is the association between the channel name, the group name and the mask that you choose.
  • Every period (.) in the group reduces the score dramatically, use as few as possible.
