Apparently you can't change the joining permissions in cults. Is there any way I can fix that or should I just fill out a ticket?

I don't actually know if UA's can do it.? I remember someone said there was something they couldn't help with-with cults but either way no, you won't be able to do anything to fix it yourself.

I've never seen that option work, and I've been member for more then 2 years now :S You'll probably have to wait untill the cults are rewritten untill they fix that, but I have no idea when they are going to do that.

so then how do other cults work? im trying to make my cult public, its friggin annoying.

Exactly. I've seen plenty of newer cults that work...

maybe we can smail their owners for an answer and post them here! that way everyone can make a working cult when they come to this topic.
