Enrolment Rules
Please read the general group rules before you submit this form. There is a zero tolerance on breaking the rules because of the size of this group and size of the enrolment roster for all services. You will not be issued any warnings if you break the rules and your notice rights will be revoked. Rules are found on the main page.
Notice Rights
There will be no notice posting rights granted for enrolled stores. The purpose to have your store enrolled in the GMC is to have a resource for GMC members to look when they are looking for products in the Gorean marketplace and to qualify your store as a possible location for any GMC sponsored events such as discussions and GMC Hunts.
Form tips:
SLURLs:
SLURLS will be used on the blog to give everyone an easy way to teleport to your store. If they are already in Second Life and they click on the SLURL a teleport window will open on the Grid Map. If they aren't logged into Second Life, they will be prompted to log in when the viewer login screen opens. You can get a SLURL easily by:
- Going to the storelanding location,
- Opening the grid map (MAP button),
- Clicking the "Copy SLURL to clipboard" button.
Store Owners Mailing List
The mailing list will be a way to pass on any signs when they are updated and any other information which only the store owners need to know. The old process was to open each persons profile and drop the item onto it which was a huge time-consuming process. The mailing list is managed through HippoGROUP to avoid using another in-world group space. This is a no spam group and for GMC purposes only. You will be removed if your store enrolment status changes.
Custom-Size Signs:
If you need a larger sign you can get a custom-sized sign made. You will have to include this information on the bottom of the form, basically saying yes or no you will require a sign custom sized for you. To have a sign resized for your needs, please:
- create a prim the size you need,
- name the prim "GMC Sign Template",
- send the prim to Dartavia.
