Guilds

Build a community around something that matters

Guilds are organised social communities on Circulure — built around a shared interest, activity, place or goal. They're where one-off plans become a weekly anchor.

What a Guild can be

If people show up for it, a Guild can hold it

The strongest Guilds aren't generic — they're built around something specific enough that members instantly recognise themselves in it.

Inside a Guild

The pieces that make a community feel real

Each Guild gets a consistent set of surfaces, so members always know where to find conversations, plans and people.

Overview

A clear front page: who the Guild is for, what it does and how to take part.

Feed

Posts, updates and conversations from members in one scrolling stream.

Members

Browse who's in the Guild, their roles and their contributions.

About

Mission, rules, leadership and anything new members should know upfront.

Discussions

Threaded conversations for topics that deserve more than a passing post.

Photos

A visual record of what the Guild has actually done together.

Events & Adventures

The Guild's calendar — what's planned, what's open to join, what's next.

Live chat

Real-time chat when the Guild needs to talk faster than a feed allows.

Announcements

A pinned channel for the things every member should see.

Member roles

Founders, moderators and contributors with appropriate permissions.

Creating a Guild

What founders configure

Setting up a Guild is mostly about saying what it is and who it's for — the rest grows from there.

  • Description
  • Logo
  • Banner

  • Moderation roles
  • Content expectations
  • Community purpose

Participation & recognition

Showing up is what counts

Circulure recognises consistent contribution rather than vanity metrics.

Healthy leadership

What we ask of founders and moderators

Guilds work because leaders take their role seriously — not because Circulure manages every community itself.

  • Apply rules fairly and consistently.

  • Respond to member reports promptly.

  • Protect member information and respect privacy settings.

  • Avoid misuse of admin privileges.

  • Comply with Circulure's Community Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy.

Start with a shared interest. Build something people return to.

The cities where Circulure feels alive are the ones where members run great Guilds.
