Currently the tribe markings we'll be including will be available to everyone, just a couple different basic sets of markings for tribe use, (You set these markings to be per-rank, so whatever and however many custom ranks you choose to have, they will get whatever marking you pick for the slot.)
I know theres people who want to have custom tribe markings for their tribes, and I'd like to do this- but I think there should be some kind of limitation on how custom tribe markings get sent in and used. What do you guys think? Should everyone be able to make a tribe marking? Should only tribes that are older than a month or have over a certain number of members be able to use them? What about tribe markings that don't fit with the Lore and the environment of CS?
I like the idea that every tribe has the option to make their own tribal marking, it'd be a perk they got for getting a Tribe. You need premium to make one- so it'd be an additional perk along with that ability to make one. However I do think, there should be requirements if someone does want to make tribal markings. A month would sound good, with active members, because it'd be sad for those groups who last a week- to have those markings only to rot away. If it has lasted a month, but the members aren't active, what would be the point of them if no one is on to actually use them? They should show their dedication to this group, to have these tribal markings be usable.
Maybe a month and at least ten active members?
Though since not all groups are based around the Tribe Lore, I think people should have the freedom to create a marking outside of the lore- but not outside the environment. I'd be against something like robotic markings, however some groups like to 'mark' their members, such as adding a S for Star on their character, I think some would use those tribal markings to create scars like those without having the need to make a preset! It'd help a lot of people who want a group like that.
Okay so here are my thoughts on it, feel free to quote me if you either agree or disagree - or simply have something to comment on
there should be several sets of pre-made tribal markings for everybody to use on whatever species. these markings should be fairly simple and should cover what is to be 'expected' from tribal marks (heart, star and claw mark insignias come to mind!)
to be able to submit more unique, custom markings, there should be a checklist and a cost to pay.
Checklist
Have The tribe open more than a 2 weeks / month
Have 10 / (X) members of the tribe
Have (X) amount of goods in the tribe inventory - Optional
Claim (X) amount of land
Cost
(X) amount of arrows per submitted marking
(X) amount of gems per submitted marking
- Items related to the cost should be pulled from the tribal inventory, rather than individual inventories, thus encouraging everyone within the tribe to chip in

I say 20 members. We where talking about this earlier with banners right. We should totaly do this it would be really similar to a preset the markings i mean. Just one per tribe i guess they could do one per species or just maybe we could wait and do like tribe tabbards.so they fit all species.
I really like Flameheart's idea. If it's open for only premium members, it would be a bit frustrating for those who don't or can't obtain a premium account for their own reasons. The only change I'd make to Flame's suggestion for 'at least' four weeks rather than two.

I think the previous comments have a point. I think it would be good if the tribe markings could only cover so much of the body (10% for example), so that they don't cover too much of the characters themselves. If a tribe desires its members to look pretty much the same, that can be done while creating the characters. Cyprin also had a point with "I think people should have the freedom to create a marking outside of the lore- but not outside the environment". I, for example, have a habit of kinda straying from the lore, and if markings that don't go well with the lore weren't possible, I'd be in trouble. As for other restrictions go, the only thing I can think of is the kinda obvious one. Not allowing any profanities. Meaning, no markings of dicks etc. If joke tribes are permitted, then other joke-ish markings can exist in peace, as long as it's nothing offensive. The only other thing that I have to say has something to do with how other tribe members think about the markings. This is just me trying to make something up again but eh, why not write it down. I was thinking that there could be something like tribe-member-approval-number-thing. For example, if a person wanted to set these and these as a tribe's official markings, the tribe's leader would need a certain percent of approval from the other tribe members (this is me being too lazy to count real numbers, but if a tribe had 100 members the tribe's creator would need the approval of- lets say 50% of the tribe, so 50 members would need to click on an approval button or something). This just came to my mind while thinking about how a tribe could only get markings if it had a certain amount of members and time behind it. If the markings aren't there immediately, who's to say if everyone will like the markings? What if the tribe leader doesn't really care about other's opinions and just makes the markings that others hate and that makes life kinda hard? Eh, as I said, it's kind of a weird and probably unnecessary idea xD Well, that's all I have.

Well, I don't really see this being a big issue, a tribe founder can give as many people as they want perms to change things like markings. If you end up with a founder that doesn't care about the opinions of their members, just leave- you don't have any obligation to be in a tribe with someone who doesn't care about your well being.
You can always just be creative and use the character creator markings as tribe markings too. Again if we're putting a time limit on how long and how many members a tribe needs to be able to use markings, this time is sink or swim time in terms of how much the other members enjoy the tribe. I think tribe leaders who have no intention of caring about the ideas of their members aren't going to have a tribe for a long time.

True. That's what I was kinda thinking in the back of my mind while writing that, I have a strange obsession with just writing things down no matter how stupid they are so forgive me ;3;
I agree w all of yall for the most part,I also feel like every tribe can get one free custom marking (with all of the requirements of coarse) and then every extra marking should cost arrows. like perhaps 25k or maybe even 50k. I feel like we should get more than one because perhaps a tribe would want different custom markings per rank, but there should be a max amount you can make, like 10 or somethin. Also with other characters, i dont know how you guys would want to approach it but i feel like its fine if they want to make custom markings of say a video game, like the signature design on wolf link from twilight princess-
because some people may just want a role play or fan club kinda tribe. I also dont know if youll be willing to do this but perhaps there can also in the future have a clothing item with the tribes marking, like you can make a model of a default item, or an assortment of items (like a mask, neck bandana, clasp around leg, ect.) and everyone who wants their tribes insignia on the item has to make it them selves, and you can just release the skin and model on the custimizer. Other than all of that, i do feel like a month of activity is a good amount of time to have to be active to get a custom marking, but i dont really agree on the member count. I only feel this way because i know some people just want to be in a tribe with a group of friends, and that may include just 5 or 6, and they wouldnt be able to get a custom marking. either that or they would just include some members in just to get the marking and then kick them or ignore them, which i dont want happening. perhaps it could be that as long as the majority is active, plus the tribe leader, then they would be able to get the custom marking? like 70%-80% of the tribe would have to be active, so its fair for smaller tribes rather than big tribe=better than small tribes mentality that ive seen too much in games.
DragonFilms i'd say CS wouldn't do something like that marking due to copyright issues. People aren't allowed to submit say- Amaterasu's markings as a preset or generalized markets thus most likely wouldn't be able to do a marking such as that

I agree with both of these, but I feel all tribe marks should also be run past the admins first, cuz I'm kinda concerned for... yaknow... inaprope markings? Also, I'd be against robotic markings as well >w<
