        <h2>Welcome</h2>
        <p>
          Ghost Guild is a community for game workers exploring cooperative and
          worker-centric models. By joining, you're becoming part of a growing
          community of practice built on mutual support, shared learning, and
          solidarity.
        </p>
        <p>
          This page covers everything you're agreeing to as a member. Related
          policies are linked throughout and are part of this agreement.
        </p>
      </section>

      <section class="guidelines-section">
        <h2>What Membership Means</h2>
        <p>
          Ghost Guild membership is about community and participation, not
          access to hidden content. Every member gets the same access to
          resources, events, and community spaces regardless of what they
          contribute financially.
        </p>
        <p>
          When you join Ghost Guild, you become a Class B member of Baby
          Ghosts, our parent charity. Class A membership is held by a small
          group involved in governance, mainly our directors. Class A and
          Class B have equal access to resources, community, events, and the
          Solidarity Fund. Voting at the Annual General Meeting is limited
          to Class A members, as set out in our
          <NuxtLink to="/policies/by-laws">by-laws</NuxtLink>.
        </p>

        <h3>The three circles</h3>
        <p>
          Our three membership circles describe where you are in your journey
          with cooperative models. They're not a hierarchy.
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>
            <strong>Community Circle:</strong> for folks learning about
            cooperative principles
          </li>
          <li>
            <strong>Founder Circle:</strong> for those actively building a
            cooperative studio
          </li>
          <li>
            <strong>Practitioner Circle:</strong> for experienced cooperative
            studio leaders
          </li>
        </ul>
        <p>
          You can move between circles as your work and interests evolve. Just
          reach out to the Membership Committee when you're ready.
        </p>

        <h3>Solidarity economics</h3>
        <p>
          We operate on a pay-what-you-can model. Your contribution is fully
          decoupled from your circle. Members with more financial capacity help
          make space for members with less.
        </p>
        <p>
          If money is tight, choose the $0 option. If you have more capacity,
          contributing at a higher tier supports others. You can adjust your
          contribution anytime as your situation changes.
        </p>
        <p>
          The Solidarity Fund is administered by the Membership Committee, and
          its status is reported to the community each year.
        </p>

        <h3>Community privacy</h3>
        <p>
          Our community spaces, including our shared Slack workspace, operate
          with an assumption of privacy. This means:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>
            Don't share screenshots, message content, or other community
            content externally without the explicit consent of everyone
            involved
          </li>
          <li>
            Don't contribute community conversations, messages, or member
            content to generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. This
            protects everyone's privacy and contributions.
          </li>
          <li>
            Violations of these privacy norms can result in removal from the
            community
          </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
          The Ghost Guild wiki at

        <p>In plain terms:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>You still hold the copyright to what you wrote</li>
          <li>
            Anyone (members, the public, other cooperatives, organizations
            adapting the material) can use, share, adapt, and build on your
            contribution, including for commercial purposes, as long as they

          <li>
            You can't withdraw your contribution from the commons later, even
            if you leave Ghost Guild
          </li>
          <li>
            If wiki material gets republished elsewhere (like on

          This is how a knowledge commons works, and it's central to what Ghost
          Guild is doing. If you have something you'd rather keep private or
          under a more restrictive license, don't put it in the wiki.
        </p>
        <p>
          Profile information, bulletin board posts, comments in member-only
          spaces, and direct messages aren't part of the commons and stay under
          your control. See our

        <h2>Our Privacy Commitments</h2>
        <p>
          Your personal information is used to administer your membership and
          to communicate with you about Ghost Guild.
        </p>
        <p>
          We use a small number of third-party services to run the platform
          (payment processing, email, hosting, analytics). Our
          <NuxtLink to="/policies/privacy">Privacy Policy</NuxtLink> lists who
          they are and what they see.
        </p>
        <p>
          We don't sell your data, share it for marketing, or feed any community
          content into generative AI tools.

      <section class="guidelines-section">
        <h2>Membership Terms</h2>
        <p>
          Membership is valid for one year from joining or renewal. Dues can be
          paid monthly or annually, and renewal happens by continuing dues
          payments or arranging support through the Solidarity Fund.
        </p>
        <p>
          You can adjust your contribution to any amount, including $0, at any
          time. There's no minimum contribution to maintain membership in good
          standing. A failed monthly payment doesn't end your membership. If a
          payment doesn't go through, we'll reach out to work it out.
        </p>
        <p>
          You can end your membership at any time by contacting the Membership
          Committee. In rare cases, membership may be ended for serious
          violations of these guidelines, following the process in our
          <NuxtLink to="/policies/conflict-resolution">Conflict Resolution Policy</NuxtLink>.
          Dues are not refunded.
        </p>
        <p>
          If you leave, your wiki contributions remain in the commons under
          their CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. Your other personal information is handled
          according to the retention rules in our
          <NuxtLink to="/policies/privacy">Privacy Policy</NuxtLink>.
