Steam Groups
Besides the main website, our most heavily utilized method of broadcasting news and announcements is via the various [TEK] Steam Groups. By joining the Tektris™ STEAM Community groups, you'll be sure to be notified about all upcoming events and news.






Make sure your in-game name and forum name are the same.
Capitalization doesn't matter.

We do not allow special characters in forum or in-game names.
Special characters as those which cannot be typed on a USA keyboard without ALT-codes. Standard non-alphanumeric characters ($ % & ! “ { * etc) are allowed but should be kept to a minimum. For example, the name Bob! would be ok, but $&Bob!#$ would not.

Your name must be [TEK]™ appropriate.
We are more strict about member names than we are with public players. In other words, there are "gray" names we allow pubs to use that we would not allow from members. Feel free to ask an Advisor or Division Leader if you need clarification on borderline names.

Do not add a clan tag, i.e. [T]™, [Te]™, [TeK]™, or any other clan's tag, to your forum name.
Tektris™ members must have our tag in front and any other clan tag at the back of the name while in-server.




All [Te]™ and [TeK]™ members have server admin responsibilities. [Te]™ members are considered " Regular Admins" while [TeK]™ members are senior admins. Each higher level of clan membership has greater server admin responsibility.

[T]™ members do not have server admin abilities. Remember, at the this level, you are NOT an admin, so don't try to be. To learn how, let [Te]™ or [TeK]™ members handle issues on the server and watch how they admin.

Some [TeK]™ members are Advisors, Division Leaders, Council, or Community Managers. They comprise the leadership of Tektris.
Please review the leadership roster for a list of these members.




Skill level has nothing to do with promotions. Tektris promotes on the basis of a member's maturity. We would rather have someone who can barely play, is a lot of fun, and carries with them a sense of integrity, than someone who is PWNTASTIC and acts immaturely.

Getting promoted to [Te]™, [TeK]™ or Leadership has nothing to do with your time in the community. It is the effort you put into the servers and the contributions you make to the clan that are factored into all promotions.

Other aspects we look at include:

1. Your playing time in the servers and love of the game.

2. Your maturity and ability to make the correct decisions in the servers. (Are you ready to switch sides when needed, or do you instead just say, "TEAMS"?)

3. Your forum activity - Do you contribute to the clan outside of playing the game? (Some members are promoted only on server time and not on forum activity. People are rarely promoted based on forum activity alone.)

4. Location - We might promote members who live in time zones outside of the USA quicker since we need admin coverage during all hours.

5. Donations and Dedicated Supporter status do not guarantee a promotion, but they do get you noticed.

Leadership is always watching to see who is ready, but the best way NOT to get promoted is by ASKING FOR A PROMOTION. Just play and have fun.
