Thread sponsoring means that sponsored threads are linked to from here, encouraging members to read the threads, take part in discussions in the threads, and bump them if badly needed. This also includes keeping an eye out for trolling and spamming. We have a new button available, use it if necessary.
Threads become sponsored in the following manner:
1. The author of the thread applies for sponsoring by posting here with a link to the thread.
2. Two crew members or myself and one crew member must approve the thread for sponsorship after having read the first post of the thread and skimmed the discussion if possible.
3. The second crew member to approve the thread then sends a PM to the thread creator with the following code for them to insert into the first post of the thread:

FAQ:
1. Q: If a thread is sponsored do I have to post there as a member of the Templars?
A: No.
2. Q: What do I do if I see abuse of the endorsement image?
A: Notify me immediately by PM. I will handle all cases of abuse personally.
3. Q: What if a crew member submits their own thread for sponsorship? Do they only need one more crew member to get sponsorship?
A: Yes. Crew members count as approval for their own threads.
4. Q: Can non members apply for subscription?
A: Yes.
5: Q: Can I make my own sponsorship image?
A: Only if it is approved by a majority vote of the crew and myself.
