Create a crew
What you need to found a crew, how to choose its name, slug and tag, and how to set up the profile, joining and application questions.
Published
You can found your own crew for free in a few steps. Only the name, slug and tag are required, and you add everything else later. Whoever founds a crew automatically becomes its owner.
Before you start
You're signed in and have completed your profile.
You're not in a crew. If you're already a member, leave your crew first. As owner, transfer ownership or dissolve the crew beforehand.
How to found your crew
Open Found a crew and choose Found your crew now. The form opens under “My crew”.
Enter the crew name (3 to 40 characters). A slug and tag are suggested from the name, and you can change both.
Check the slug: 3 to 40 lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. It becomes part of your crew profile's address.
Check the tag: 2 to 5 capital letters or digits.
Choose the join mode (open, application or closed) and add a short description if you like.
Choose Found crew. You then land in the crew dashboard.
Name and slug must be unique among all crews that haven't been dissolved. Names and slugs that could be mistaken for the platform or the team are blocked.
Building the crew profile
In the crew profile, the owner and crew admins add everything else:
logo and banner
a short description for the directory and a full description
platforms, up to ten languages, region, time zone and play style
“Who are you looking for?” with up to 500 characters, shown publicly while you're open or taking applications
up to five external https links, for example to your Discord server
the member limit within the platform maximum. Lowering the limit never removes anyone; it only stops new joins.
Application questions
In the “Application” join mode you can ask up to eight text questions and mark individual ones as required. New applications always use the current version, while applications already submitted keep their questions. Never ask for IDs, documents, passwords or other sensitive data.
Good to know
If you change the slug, the address of the public profile changes. Old links then stop working.
The community guidelines apply to crew names, profiles and application questions.
