Help
Team FTW used to be one of the first, and top teams here at Gimptalk back in the day, housing some of the nicest and most skilled people that I have personally met here on this great site. As our members left and became inactive, the team slowly faded away and became nothing more to the newer members than a myth or a mere legend. My goal is to revive team FTW to its former glory by bringing back the name and the legacy that it left behind by starting from scratch and then just going from there. We had some great times on team FTW, and I hope we can recreate that.
*Obviously, any of the former members will be welcomed back without an application
HERE ARE THE TEAM USERBARS:
Requirements:
Ok, so with the intro out of the way, we should probably start with some applications. The requirements won't be too hard to fulfill. I would like relatively active members on this team who post quite often, with decent GIMP or graphics experience. I realize that with practice, anyone can become good at using GIMP, so you don't have to be amazing to be accepted. I will personally make the decisions in regards to applications until I can find someone to help me out in this area (preferably someone who was a part of the original Team FTW). Basically, the more you contribute to the community as a whole, the more likely you are to be accepted.
For the time being, I would like to have about 2 admins in the group, 3 moderators, and 8-10 regular members.

RULES:
*Anyone caught deliberately ripping another artist's work will be banned from the team.
*All members must wear either the userbar or avatar of our team
*If you are inactive for one month, we will send you a PM. If we don't get a reply within a week, your spot on the team will be given up, however reapplication will be allowed.
*All members of the original team FTW are allowed to join the team without posting an application.
*new! During GFX battles or competitions that require a certain number of people, the team may be split up into squads or small factions headed by the mods and admins. Hopefully this rule will allow our members to get to know each other better, and also increase productivity. This system does not enforce inter team competition, it simply allows the team to become more tightly knit together. Remember, Team FTW is one entity. This idea is more or less an efficient way make sure that no one is left out.
*This is probably the most unique rule that separates us from the rest, so get ready for it XD
All members of team FTW are equal, and therefore have an equal say in all matters. This means that on some occasions members may be asked to vote on a proposition or issue. The majority of the vote will decide the final decision. If any members have an amazing idea or something along those lines that they believe could truly make the team better, they can PM an Admin or Mod of the group letting them now about this idea, in which case the team will probably have a vote to decide if the idea should be implemented. This system can pertain to just about anything that relates to the group from promoting or demoting moderators, to participating in team wide competitions. The only thing members should not vote for or propose is to elect or demote an admin (this will be done among the two existing admins and moderators) A single member should not send in more than 1-2 ideas per month as it could become overwhelming to constantly change major details of the group.
