Strats & Co. / STRATS

Preamble

The Strats & Co. mission is to create a community where everyone can have a safe and fun place to hang out together and experience Star Citizen—a haven for adults who love gaming to get away from the toxicity generally found in the gaming world. We seek to foster long term friendships among members and enhance the gaming experience by those friendships.

We value kindness, open-mindedness, generosity, and stiff drinks. And multiplayer games. Not necessarily in that order.

Name & Brand

The Strats organization in the Star Citizen universe is known as Strats & Co. and has an ID of [STRATS].

Strats & Co. is a player-run branch of the Strats community located at Strats.co. This particular in-game organization shares similarities in logo, typeface, and other branding to identify it as a Strats guild.

Ranks & Trust

Ranks are based on our forum trust levels. There is no way around this. There are 5 levels at Strats: 0 (New) → 1 (Basic) → 2 (Member) → 3 (Regular) → 4 (Leader)

Member trust levels are a way of…

• Sandboxing new Strats users in the community so that they cannot accidentally (or intentionally!) hurt themselves, the forum, or other users while they are learning what to do.

• Granting experienced users more rights so that they can help maintain and moderate the community they generously contribute so much of their time to.

In order to move up ranks, you must have a forum account. The regulars can do just about everything as they are the trusted leadership.
