At the moment from my point of view it looks like were begging them to join, opening a door, pushing them through it then closing it again, rather than showing them the door, then letting them do the rest. We NEED to stop accepting everyone. I know we need every member we can get, but we also need the rights to be in this clan a privalage rather than nothing. Back when i first joined my application was declined twice, making me write longer essays, post as much as i can, be in #WG_Lobby as much as i can, i had to throw myself into a group of strangers who weren't bothered if i got in or not. And show them why I was worth of the Guardians title, now the guardians title is just about as good as being P2P on rs, you want it, you have it.

My solution is simple, we accept a fixed number of apps per day, it doesn't have to stay the small number, it can increase as apps increase in quantaties. My reason for this is that if somebody joins, hasn't given a flying **** about his application, lets show to him, we don't give a flying **** about him. Im going to take another quote here

This was a quote in reply of me saying, he was immature and impatient. I say no, you need to learn it before we accept you. Accepting a fixed number of apps per day would lower the recruitment raite, but say we accept 2 per day, and 3 apply, that should make the 3rd person, re-apply, building up the apps over time, then accept more apps per day, this would make people fight for the spot, writing better apps. This would portray a better image on WG and make people stay in it because they fought so hard for what they've accomplished.

What sort of image does WG want.

You may not agree with me, but this is all a fact.

Think about it and sort it.

Thanks

I have the same point of view as Gen.

For now, we can harbour most of the people who apply.

But I do think that in the long run, if we continue on this good track, we can tend towards the situation you've described Jaxx.

Don't forget that in two week's time, we'll be getting rid of around 10-15 inactives.

ok then working on the oposite way.

Set a decline per week.

Decline 2 apps per week. Its a start.
 
--------------------

Set a decline, Lmao?

Just decline people for the sake of declining 2 people :\
2 Apps per week aswell? We get like 4.
 
--------------------

i don't intend to make it insanely hard, if we get 8 outstanding apps, accept them all, but lets stop accepting people who are like

what u was saying at the beginning is right i am not sure or i got a special treatment this time but i remmeber wg a year ago it was way harder to get into the clan my aplication got rejected 2 times for not being good enough and the third time i puted 1 full day on writing the thing and stil it was borderline and this time it was oh i am tiran i wana rejoin and like 1 day later they asked me to make an intro and the next day i was trial guard i am not complaining about this tbh but i think the proces has become loosend and i read all about hl trying to discovering a spy well he might opened the door for spys him zelf by lowering tha chanze to get rejected after aplying i think it should go back up a bit but not to far
i saw some one else post something about the 7 counsil we have something like that called a mentor but mine knew me already this time so i had auto pass from him maybe we should make it that every one gots 3 mentors to get a pass of no exeptions and than like

a french player joins he get 1 english based and if posible 2 french mentors to get a pass of
