FAQ - Groups
What do I have to consider for my group?
Every member of your group is also a member of the community and, therefore, needs to stick to the general community rules. This means:
- As for every community member, the minimum age for group members is 16 years
- Our general Terms of use also apply to groups
- The rules of the community forum also apply to the forums of your group
Here are some other general guidelines:
We spent a lot of time and effort to build this community and website. As a result, we can now give you the opportunity to create your own group (website with a forum, TS channel, etc). But a community lives from its members, so we kindly ask you to keep using the public community forums for general subjects like games, platforms, etc.
The forum of your group should only be used for the internal organization of your group (who is the admin, who takes care of new applicants, …) and group related subjects (the tactics for your next match, …).
In short:
In your group forum cover topics for which the community page itself does not offer a suitable forum.
What are the groups for and how do I create a group?
(Note: there is an error at the moment showing “wcf.acp.option.option…” instead of “group”)
We offer you the possibility to present and organize your clan or your game association. Basically, you belong to the Killlah Potatoes community, but you are the boss in your own small group. For example, you can create your own small forum for your members, so you can arrange for your games. In addition, as the head of your group, you can decide who can join.
How do I create my group?
First you need to register on our site. Then click on "Groups" in the bar at the top. Here you will find an overview of the various categories in which you can create a group.
In this overview, click on "Add group"

In the appearing form, choose a category for your group from the drop-down menu, for example PS4.
If you want, you can also upload a group picture or banner.
Then you need to enter the name of your group as well as a short description of your community. If the group is listed later in the overview of all groups, the short description is under your group name, so others can get a small impression of your group.
In the "Group tag" field, you can enter an abbreviation for your group. The abbreviation must contain at least 2 and can contain no more than 4 letters. The abbreviation appears later in front of the name of your members. You can also select the brackets between which the abbreviation will later be. Example: {H2O} Pattern Bubble

In "Group type", you can now decide how members can join your group. In a public group, everyone can join at will. You can also choose to accept only invited persons, or that interested persons need to report by application form.
Finally, only the group description is missing. Here you can tell everyone about your group, so what you do, in which game you are on the road, and and and. This description can be found later in the tab "Overview" in your group. It is the first page that is displayed when you look at your group.
