What is the point of introductions when you can literally apply within seconds of posting it? Isn't there a way to maybe combine the introduction and application to create a single form to fill out? Or add a time limit to introductions again?

Or am I like missing a part about rules of posting applications and introductions? ohmy.gif

Just wondering smile.gif

I understand what you mean however we sorta have an overlap where the trial process is basically what other clans have for their intro process, really our intros are to encourage people considering applying to post a bit about themselves so we can get to know them a bit like an ice breaker, this could potentially be added into the application, however at present it gives them a choice where they can say ok well I like this clan so much I want to app straight away or hmmm i'll post my intro and get to know the clan a bit better before I decide to apply.

I enjoy intros and apps seperate.

The intro's is where you actually get to know a little about the person themselves, not like the formalities of the apps.

If you were to combine the 2, then it would be a very long form and people would rush / not bother.

Also, intro's isn't just for those wishing to apply ,clan friends, ex-members etc often come by and just give a little history of where they have been etc (often found in Hello's too though, I guess)...

I'd say try and imagine the intro as being for the whole clan, and the app being for just staff maybe.
