      IRC Nickname: Zooby Group: Guest Posts: 1669 Member No.: 1464 Joined: November 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 109    | Do you think WG taking on a Future Applicant system, like most major clans have, is a good, progressive move, and agree that we should have this system. Yes or No. I think the future applicant system will allow us to weed out inactive members/allow for lower leveled members (100? 105?) to join us early and get to know the community, raid with us, get comfortable with the idea of clanning as a whole. Also it will make our memberlist more accurate, not having 15 inactive trial guardians, which allows us to gauge what clans we should be fighting. Opinions? -------------------- A Revolution without dance is a Revolution not worth having at all Lightbulbs die my sweet, I will depart | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Bam Group: Emeritus Posts: 2762 Member No.: 131 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 111 | i actually don't see a reason why we should not have it. WG would not be the only one to profit from this but also the applicants. They would have a chance to take a better look at WG...since we had a few members leaving a week after accepting their application. --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: megajayson Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9246 Member No.: 423 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 216 | I voted no. The trial guardian rank is meant to do the same thing, except council are allowing many members through past the 30 day trial period, which gives us many inactive members. I think the trial guardian rank should just be reworked to make it better. This can be done by being harsher on activity. Make it 5 events in 2 weeks instead of 30 days. With the amount of events we have on offer, this is easily achieved, and then we know the member will be active. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Mark`` Group: Clan Friend Posts: 2190 Member No.: 2320 Joined: July 15, 2010 Total Events Attended: 208 | Voted no, just need to crack down on the inactives more harshly and not let so many shitheads through. Just because they post a graduation, doesn't necessarily mean they are a good member. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum!   | ||||

This has always been a problem and I agree totally, just because someone makes the requirements for graduation doesn't always make them suitable. With the new stance on 'trolling' I hope staff keep a close eye on Trials and have pretty much a zero tolerance stance on them causing issues. --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Armybuilder Group: Raid Leader Posts: 1468 Member No.: 2173 Joined: December 6, 2009 Total Events Attended: 227 | I voted yes but only if the trial rank is scrapped as they are the same thing. Trials need to be redone if you want them to work as a good application system --------------------     | ||||

 IRC Nickname: DZ Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2991 Member No.: 18 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 238 | Tweak the trial guardian system that we have right now. We need to set our standards a bit higher. 30 days is way too long of a time to meet the requirements to graduate. If we want to move forward as a PvP clan we need to have higher standards. -------------------- Now back to the good part! | ||||

This. As I've said from day 1, we're too lax on our members. I've tried to push change, but the only ones who listened are the ones who don't need it. --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Group: Raid Leader Posts: 1110 Member No.: 2430 Joined: October 14, 2010 Total Events Attended: 77 | I think it needs changing to separate ML's as some can just pull us down, and also some just go inactive from day one and it takes staff a while to eventually give them the boot, as they have toi wait to confirm inactivity. Also i have noticed we need to be more strict on graduation time, alot of TG are over there month now -------------------- | ||||

Yep, that was during the 'sectors' bit though and that ended up being a fairly big failure in the end.... I know Gene wouldn't be interested in trying anything similar again. I think a separate Trial Guardian memberlist isn't a bad idea really, as Vulcan points out any action taken due to inactivity takes time and it could potentially give people a better idea of our 'strength' -------------------- Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

Exactly this. I don't feel that bringing in a NEW system would be at all helpful. Just change the trial system to fit with what we need.... simple. --------------------    | ||||
