Who Can Join?
Any site that complies with the rules below:

• This ring is for ring MANAGERS only, not ring MEMBERS.
• Submitted URL must be the homepage of one webring, not a personal homepage, not a list of Rings you manage page, not a WebRing membership page. Each WebRing is judged individually, thus must be submitted individually.
• Your ring must be hosted by WebRing.
• Manager maintains personal ethical standards, avoiding subjects (through websites and rings) such as hatred (sexual, religious, et al) or illegal activites (pornography, hacking, et al)
• Your ring must demonstrate compliance with each of the following statements (Manager of this ring does possess the capability to verify each of these statements):
  • Ring Homepage contains specific rules for the ring that are enforced fairly (at minimum; however, ring homepage should answer most questions visitors, applicants, and members may have)
  • Applicants to this ring are reviewed in a timely manner (with exceptions for unforeseen situations)
  • Applicants are not left pending until the ring code is present on the site (implementation of 'conditional approval' replaces the eternal pending)
  • Denied sites are given clear reason for the decision
  • Failing sites are suspended and given fair time to become reinstated prior to removal (automated management can be configured to handle this or you can do it manually)
  • Ring Navigation rating is no lower than 90 (this demonstrates your attentiveness to FAILing sites)

• At all times display the navbar for this ring so that the membership PASSes the checker (PASS-L is not a valid result for this ring.)
• Keep all membership information (most importantly - URL) updated
• Keep a valid email address in their WebRing User Profile at all times.

  How Do I Join?
