Some Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to some miscellaneous questions we've been regularly asked not covered elsewhere in this guide.
Member Ranks
All users on TWC are regarded as having a 'rank'. New members start out as a Full Member. Further ranks may be awarded by the Curia, e.g.: Citizen & Patrician or come with election as a Curial Officer. Members may also be appointed by the Administrators as a Local Moderator to a specific forum. Staff positions carry a variety of different ranks and are also appointed by the Administrators. For details of all current ranks see here
Members may hold several different ranks at the same time and therefore choose which badge to display. Staff members are expected to display their staff rank primarily for ease of recognition by other users.
