This is to inform everyone that we will be removing the public (joinable) groups any time this week. Actually, we are not totally removing it. PRM, TA, and GA will still be here. And we are bringin' back the Symbianize Guru group.

But this time, group members are no longer required to do tasks. The inclusion to the group will serve as an award or acknowledgment to your special contributions to Symbianize. When we say special contributions, these are the things that no ordinary member can do. You need some talent, knowledge, or determination to do such things. More info will be given later.

What will happen to existing group members? Some of them will stay, some will go. Depending on their contributions. I will personally look on their posts.

[Marquess]

Starting today, PR Managers, and Graphic Artists are no longer joinable groups. These groups along with Symbianize Gurus will serve as acknowledgment or classification for members who made special contributions to Symbianize. These contributions may require some skills, knowledge, and sincerity.


Inclusion to the group depends on your posts. Below are some guidelines on how members are classified.

Symbianize Gurus - Those members who help others on their inquiries (mostly technical). We may also see them posting some tips or tutorials.

PR Managers - Those members who constantly help us grow by promoting symbianize. Number of referrals and links from other sites (posts from Promote Symbianize) will play a big part here. But dont get too excited about the referral thing, since referrals can be faked. We only value those referrals who posts on Symbianize. So even if you have 1000 referrals and all them have 0 post, that somehow mean nothing.

Graphic Artists - Those members with sufficient knowledge in photo editing and graphic design and willing to share their creations. So if anyone is interested on becoming a Symbianize Graphic Artist, they should create their own thread and post their creations there.
OR
Those members who are skilled in creating mobile phone themes using the Nokia Theme Studio or other official theme making software and willing to share their creations. They should have their own thread and upload their themes directly here in Symbianize. Ownskinners are definitely not qualified for this group since themes generated by ownskin and other similar sites, lack creativity and requires a very less effort. We also value quality than quantity.


To complete the list, here are the 3 other groups...

Elite Members - Those members with significant forum contributions to Symbianize. Members who earned 500 or more reputation points automatically promoted to this group.

Symbianize VIPs - Those members who made financial contributions to Symbianize. Their donations helped us cover our site expenses and avail for added services. Members who managed to donate a total of at least $15 (or PHP 500) are automatically included to this group.

Moderators - Moderate the forums to maintain orderliness and uphold the Forum Guidelines. Some may consider them as the most powerful users in any Forum since they can manage any post or thread within their assigned forums or sections and may ban any member. A member must be friendly, fair, tolerant, familiar with the forum guidelines, and possesses forum awareness to qualify for this group. Reporting bad posts increases the chances of being chosen, warnings and infractions received decrease those chances. Anyone who wishes to become one must go through our Moderator Training program.

This is to inform everyone that DianaGrace and JenG are now part of our Staff. They are the Symbianize Trustees.

Trustees aids in the financial affairs of Symbianize and have the same authority as Moderators except that they don't moderate the forums.

Update:
There's a merger between Graphic Artist and Theme Artist groups.
Graphic Artist is the surviving group. But members of the group will now be identified having green color usernames. Adjustments will be made later.

Pagkatapos nating makita yung mga gawa nila sa G&P forum at graphic contests na sinalihan nila dito sa Symbianize, masasabi nating napatunayan na nila na may kakayahan nga sila sa photo-editing o graphic arts.

Heto na po ang mga pinakabago nating Graphic Artists...

Kung sa tingin nyo meron tayong nakalimutang kilalanin bilang Graphic Artist, pakipost na lang dito yung link kung saan nakapost yung mga gawa nila para ma-verify natin...

Napag-usapan na ng Staff yung tungkol sa pagbabago na gagawin natin sa user groups. Actually ibabalik lang natin yung dating sistema. Kung saan yung mga piling grupo ay may kanya kanyang trabaho at dapat mag-provide o mag-contribute sa site natin on a regular basis. At dahil may dapat na silang gawin, kinakailangan na ng group leader na dapat sundin ng group members na syang magsasaayos ng grupo. Sa ngayon, ang mga members ng grupo nila ang pipili ng kani-kanilang group leader. Every 3 months, maaari silang pumili ng panibagong group leader kung gusto nila.

Ang mga group leaders ay automatic na magiging member ng Symbianize Staff. May authority rin sila kagaya ng Moderators at Trustee natin.

At dahil dyan, ibinabalik na rin ulit yung mga incentives na kagaya ng PM quota & recipient increase, custom user title, avatar/signature image size increase, ability to give approval reps, etc. sa mga user groups na ito.


Sa mga gustong mag-request ng bagong user group, eto ang qualifications:
-kinakailangang kapakipakinabang sa forum members o sa site mismo ang mga gawain ng grupo.
-mayroon na dapat ng hindi bababa sa tatlong members ang grupo (kasama na ang group leader)
-may mga sample na nai-post o nagawa na ang grupo sa forums natin

Kung sa tingin nyo qualified kayo, gawa kayo ng user group request thread dito at pakilagay nyo don yung mga sumusunod na detalye:
Group Name
Objective
Responsibilities
Qualifications
Group Leader
Group Members


Para lang magka-idea kayo, eto yung ilang example ng groups na pwede nyong buuin o pagbasehan:

Themers - provides mobile themes regularly
Writers - provides essays, poems, short stories regularly
Mirrors - provides mirrors or alternate download links
Testers - tests mobile softwares for phone compatibility (member must own at least 3 diff. phones)
Indexers - provides thread indices and updates them regularly
Reviewers - provides original or rephrased reviews regularly
Fans Club - thanks vagalance's every post

Sinimplihan ko lang yung mga pangalan at objectives dyan. Depende na sa inyo kung paano nyo palalawakin yung responsibilities para ma-approve agad yung grupo nyo.

Sa current user groups natin ngayon, dalawa ang madi-disolve na. Ang Symbianize Guru at PR Manager. To compensate, bawat member ng grupo ay makakatanggap ng tig-300 reputation points at ng corresponding medal nila kung wala pa sila non.

Sa Graphic Artist group naman, responsibility na ng grupo ang may kinalaman sa graphics. Required na silang mag-provide ng avatars at signature images na idadagdag natin sa default avatars at signature images natin dito. Sisiguraduhin din nila na may members nila na kukuha sa mga graphic requests. Sila rin ang aasikaso o magsu-supervise ng mga graphic contests and awards. At kung kaya nilang mag-provide ng tutorials mas mabuti. Ang group leader na ang bahalang mag-assign kung sino gagawa ng defaults, ng requests, ng tutorials, etc. base na rin sa kakayahan at kagustuhan ng members nya.

Dahil sa mga pagbabago na ito, tatanungin muna natin ang bawat member ng Graphic Artist natin ngayon kung gusto pa rin nilang manatiling member ng grupo. Kapag pinili nyang manalatili bilang Graphic Artist, kailangan nyang makipag-cooperate sa grupo at sundin ang kung anumang naka-assign sa kanya.

Kaya tinatawagan natin ngayon ang lahat ng members ng Graphic Artist, kung gusto nyo pa ring mapabilang sa grupo, ipaalam nyo lang sa amin sa pamamagitan ng pag-PM nyo sa akin ng napili nyong group leader. Pero tanungin nyo muna yung gusto nyong maging group leader kung tinatanggap nya yung position na yon. Kung gusto nyo namang umalis na sa grupo, wala na kayong dapat gawin. Hindi nyo na kailangang mag-PM o pumili ng group leader. May 7 days kayo mula ngayon para magdesisyon.

Here's an update on the current usergroups here in Symbianize.

We are bringing back the public or joinable usergroups as we approve 2 of the usergroup applications submitted to us and the announcement of our official graphics team.



Spectra - Symbianize's homegrown graphic talents. Active providers of graphic samples and resources. This group is led by light InstilledBee celestial_hunter.


Xtremers- Symbianize's expert cellphone theme creators. Active providers of personalized or self-made cellphone themes. This group is led by hoe311.


Blitzers - Symbianize's dedicated uploaders. Active providers of alternative download (mirror) links. This group is led by bullet.


Each group has its own group leader who will supervise the group. The leader is in-charge of the approval of join requests and will make sure that group members are still active.

For more information about those groups, you could ask their respective leaders or wait for their announcement regarding the details and qualifications of their group.


-----------------



Contributors are users with significant contributions to our site. Members with at least 500 reputation level automatically promoted to this group. And those members who managed to donate at least a total of $20 to our funds are also included to this group. This is not a public group so a group leader is not necessary. This, however, is a permanent membership so that means once you become a member of this group, you remain to this group no matter what happens even if you're no longer actively participating in our site.


-----------------




Currently we have 2 Staff Groups. The Moderators and the Group Leaders. Both groups performs the same roles as before.


-----------------


What's out - Elite Members, Symbianize VIPs, Graphic Artists and Trustee groups are no longer part of the Symbianize grouping system.
