<div class="post"><span style="color: #228B22;">Hey all, after getting some inquiries on the subject, I thought I'd put up a quick sticky regarding our rank structure here in Solace. Enjoy!<br /><br /></span><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Initiate</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">Initiate is our recruiting rank (see the </ul><a href="http://solace.hawkbats.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=384" target="_blank">Recruiting Policy</a> for more). Initiates have access to guild chat and the public forums, and no voting privileges in guild affairs. Fortunately, you can't stay an initiate for long.<br /><br />Requirements for promotion:<br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Completing the recruiting process.</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Protector</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">Protectors are usually newer members who have achieved full membership in the guild. They have access to the public and private forums, but do not have voting privileges in guild affairs. Protectors are considered for promotion to Guardian in the first week of every odd month.<br /><br />Requirements for promotion:<br /><li>Possession of an active forum account. Regular checking of the guild forums is important to staying apprised of current guild affairs.</li><li>Active guild contributor. While we have no playtime requirements in Solace, we expect our voting members to be relatively active players. Chatting in guild chat and grouping with fellow members is also strongly encouraged, and is taken in to consideration.</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Guardian</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">The "everyman" of our guild, Guardians are voting members and play a vital role in the formation of guild policy.</ul><br /><br /><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Sentinel</li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">Sentinels are our guild officers, who act as the authors and enforcers of guild policy and attempt to steer the vision of Solace as a whole. Sentinels are almost always available to answer questions (regarding the guild or the game in general) and resolve disputes (within the guild or with other players). We currently have six Sentinels.<br /><br />Sentinels are hand-selected from among the Guardian ranks by unanimous vote of the existing Sentinels and only when a position is available or created.</ul>[/list][/color]</div>
That's the HTML out of the post, fresh out of the converter.
One thing I noticed that was particularly irksome was the </ul> preceeding the <a> tag for the link near the top. Is there a way around that?
Other than that, I was able to clean it up with a little work.
