That's the first three paragraphs from the top three introduction topics currently on the forums. THIS IS BAD! And so minimal? We had to actually write essays when I first joined up. At least that was a deterrent to anyone under 50IQ. --------------------  | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | I totally agree. There was one intro I read where the guy said he was 14, which is about 8th grade. He couldn't even make a single sentence... It's definitely a pet peeve of mine to see people completely butcher the English language. I could understand if the person is not American/English but the dude was from the USA and STILL couldn't structure a sentence. --------------------  | ||||||

+1 I don't think it's terribly difficult to at least use proper sentence structure, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. They are trying to get into this clan. It's like a job interview. You want to look and sound your best. When I see this crap, I know they really don't know what they are getting themselves into, and I'm sure they don't care either. --------------------   Proud WG member from January 2006 - Fall 2009 | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49 | I completely agree. I for one think we should implement a bit of this as some new and or changed rules; I looked at that EJ rules page and while I don't agree with -everything- there, I do think that we could take some ideas from them as far as what is acceptable and what isn't. I would like the reimplementation of long applications, and the out-of-hand rejection of anyone who doesn't follow some simple guidelines on proper posting. I will admit that this extra application work will reduce the number of applications, however with any luck what applications we do get will be people who care enough to help make WG a better place. This will also help the maturity level(WG is supposed to be all about the community, right?), and should effectively reduce the amount of flaming due to the above reason.

 IRC Nickname: Vephy Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 6186 Member No.: 813 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 478 | It is a very good point. They should structure their sentences at least in a clean way. It is almost disrespectful to post incoherently like that. To post at least something that looks like it has some effort would be nice. Few minutes more of time to write clearly shouldn't be that hard really. --------------------   | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | I really like how people that sometimes don't worry about the structure of their sentence really make the effort to write in complete, thought out sentences with decent, if not near perfect punctuation and grammar.  Lower the combat requirements, increase the maturity requirements, and add a defense requirement. My 3 cents. --------------------      | ||||||

 Bam was the best at that. Joe tries to be one too. He auto declines them. I don't get what the problem is with having application managers. (Other than it is a crappy job with little to no benefit to the person.) --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | Dear god. An old clan of mine had a requirement, "Must not be an asshole". Should add something like that. We're renowned for our community, and making a first impression as a retard is an insult to that. I don't think that intros/apps realise how important it really is to show that you're not some 10 year old with the maturity of a hedgehog when you apply for a clan. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||
