Oh boy... INCOMING!!!!!!

I like keeping the ranks simple. The recruitment could probably use some work and you will hear a lot of opinions. The only think I will say is that I am not a big fan of exponent ranks. Maybe do something where you increase the amount of pipes in your name with rank. Or, add brackets around sG and you get more brackets with higher rank. Something not so obvious but clan members will know.

I support Clay's rank thread, which has already been posted in here as a link so I won't do it a gain.

oh hai there

congrats fatboy?

My idea:

New people get into sGr immediately like now.

During 1-month trial period, community votes on them.

If they get 15/15 negative votes, then the staff will vote on their acceptance at end of the month. (Higher number for more clan members)

Staff can tell if the community is just trolling or actually doesn't like the recruit.

If the member doesn't get 15 negative votes, they get into sG^1 automatically.

[Justice 69]

I support Clay's thread aswell.

[thorgot 2420]

I suggested this once for recruitment:

Members and staff vote at the same time. If either member vote or staff vote ends up negative, the person is rejected. Otherwise, if either member vote or staff vote passes (15/15 or 5/5, or some reasonable number for both), the person is accepted. This takes everybody's opinion into account and doesn't take more time since both votes are happening at the same time.

I personally dislike the monthly recruitment thing. I might add an addendum to my post about a revision of the OLD recruitment system, back when you got a staff ref, 4/4 and then were in.

I like the new version I wrote up better. And keeps Shippos out.

Addendum:

Alternate recruitment system:

Applicant requirements:

• One staff referral, or two PM or higher referrals
  
• After a screening, the applicant must get 4/4 staff votes. If there are 5 votes against them at any time, they are denied.
  
• After the staff vote passes, they are inducted in to the clan. They do not get access to the "Trial Period" forum.
  
• They are a Clan Member for three months. This is similar to the recruitment period.
  
• Instead of wearing the recruit tag, they have a regular clan tag.
  
• If this user is a complete fuck-up, any clan member can start a thread against them in the Trial Period forum. They voice their complaints about the person, provide demos or post links (if necessary), chat logs, etc.
  
• After their Clan Member period, in their application to member, the person is voted upon by the community.
  
• NOW. You may be saying, "What in the fuck are you on? Three months of recruitment is absolutely retarded." But, think about it. It's not recruitment. And it's already 6 months until newbz level up to sG2 anyways... So, I'm basically giving them a faster way to get to being more "in" the clan, and I'm giving you an easier way to weed out idiots.
