A lot of things have been mentioned here, changing the applications, changing graduations, changing Higher/Elite requirements. I have read through them all.

It is easy to get into WG. I've stopped adding random intros, because I want to know the person at least a day before I add them. I want to see if they are pleasant to talk to, if they tend to have a holier-than-you, I deserve to be here type attitude. A lot of information can be learned by just watching how the person responds to others talking.

I would like to see a little more work done for applications.
*Winddancir thinks back to her application.
Yeah... Took 2-3 days to write it...
QUOTE (Wind's App)
I have read the website, and the forums, over and over again. I want to be a part of something greater than just one person. I am not the greatest at combat, and probably never will be. The meaning of being a Wilderness Guardian, whether you are Wilderness and actively fighting, or Skills helping to support those who fight when you cannot, and being in a community of others who support you and are supported in return, all of this carries great importance to me.

Community is the heart of WG. Why can't a person write a little more? It doesn't take that long, and can be something showing why that person wants to be part of our family.

Regarding graduations.
I think the mentor system should come back. Do a little more for it. Tbh, I don't really know what to do for it... More communication from the mentor to the mentee. Check in with the mentee every day, whether they ask you for help, or seem to be doing fine. I know who my mentor was, but umm... didn't talk to him very much.. Also, I didn't need it too much, but it could be a system to help us know how we are doing. Have the mentee check in with the mentor daily.

Can't really think of much to say on promotions. neko2.gif

The mentor system:
I find it more effective when one person gets one mentor instead of three mentors being assigned to 3-5 mentees. When that is the case mentors slack off because there are others to pick up the slack. It can be effective though.

And as for the referral thing.
I don't like referrals overall for the reasons me9 pointed out. I do like a forum for members+ to discuss either applicants or trials though.

And I don't think promos should be applied for either. They are earned not requested.

Aye, sorry I think I might have been misunderstood. I was just pointing out the sponsorship system as in how we used them when Members had applied for Promotions.

Don't think I ever requested( Nor did I want to if I had tongue.gif ) that it should be reinstated, just was a good example for explaining the 'Sponsorships' to members that were not their at that time.
