FAQ - Groups

Every member of your group is also a member of the community and, therefore, needs to stick to the general community rules. This means:

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:

Our group system is for all clans, guilds, gaming teams, squads, etc.

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.

If you click on "Submit", your group will be forwarded to the leaders. They check your group and release it. And then you can get started.

If your group is gaming on PC, you have the opportunity to get a small channel on our TeamSpeak server. This does not happen automatically because there are groups that are only on the PS4 and do not need a TS-Channel.

How you get a TS-Channel for your group, you will find precisely explained here.

As a group leader, you can make various settings, organize your group, and create a forum. Here are the various functions of the administration area of your group explained:

General
In the tab “General” you can do:

Groups
There already are some standard groups (Raiser, Member, Guest) but you can also create new groups (e.g. honorary member, jester, …) and give those groups different rights.

Members
Here you have an overview of your members. You can assign every member to one of the groups (the standard ones or a created one).
This gives the member the rights, that were set for this group.

Group page
Here you can create your own pages. Each page you created appears in the group view as a new tab (next to Overview, Members, ...).

Boards
Here you can create your own forums. In the forums, your members can, for example, arrange a game night.

If you have found a group that you like, you have the opportunity to join this community. What do you have to do for this?
First you need to register on our site. This will make you part of the Killah Potatoes community.
Then you go to the side of the group of your choice. Just click on the button "Join/Apply".

Join Group 1.PNG

If it is a public group, you immediately are a member. If it is a group that you need to apply for, you will be redirected to the application form. You fill this out and send it off. If the head of the group likes your application, he can make you a member.

In addition, there are groups that you can only join when the leader of the group sends you an invitation.

If the group has its own TS channel:
If you have selected a group that is on PC, it may be that there is a separate channel for this group on our TeamSpeak server. Since our website is linked to our TeamSpeak, you need a certain user group on the website to use the channel of your group. How that goes, you will learn here.
