i think the multiple times comment was pointed at me lexx. Lol, and the what'd you do part makes it sound to me like you think its a punishment cerex lol.

Well there may be some exceptions. For example, members who want to join RID that are related to or close friends to a member in RID can join RID without the poll (but the application would still need to meet my expectations).

As far as multiple times go, the maximum we can do is 2 times perhaps, but we could make a warning in the application to answer thoroughly or you may not be accepted.

Thats a great idea actually. That way we can see if their spammers, trolls, flamers, etc. Not a bad idea at all :wink:

Thats absoulutely correct, but people are getting the wrong idea that if your under 18 it's impossible to get into RID. For the first few weeks they are merely watched over as a sponsored person, and perhaps welcomed to events. Once it's seen that they qualify, they can get accepted. As for as 18+ year olds, they dont need to be watched over before being recruited (we would, but as far as time efficiency goes, it cant be done).

Instead, Leviathen gave me a very nice idea. He said once a new recruit fills out an application, I first look over it thoroughly. If it checks out, I post it on the RID Discussion boards. If it doesn't check out, I decline the recruit and perhaps direct him to some other recommended guilds.

Assuming I like the application and post it on the RID Discussion board, all RID's can look over it and can select a vote for him on top of the post. "Accept" the member or "decline." The poll lasts 1 day, and if he gets more "accept" votes than "decline" votes, hes allowed into RID, same goes for vise-versa. When he/she is accepted into RID, the application is then moved to the Personal Databank boards for reference when needed.

It's not always easy to get out a maturity meter and see if they meet our standards. Maturity can fluctuate depending on if your happy or having a bad day. At least with age you have a general idea, and it's better than taking the risk of recruiting underaged members. 18 year or older members who have jobs in real life and what not may be more responsible in-game than those who are younger. However you are right, maturity can be better for a younger member than an older member sometimes; however, those who are disruptive in RID normally seem to be the younger type... plus they are harder to reason with in general.

by Waucod Meesman »Fri Aug 12, 2005 8:36 pm

What about me I'm only 12, you should probably just test them somehow on how mature they are or something because lots of kids can be more mature than adults. :mrgreen:

the reason im here kurke is because I like keeping in touch with my friends in this guild, if you don't like it I won't voice my opinion(since I dont need to put the effort into doing so but i do) about the guild but your as much in it "technically speaking" mind you, as I am right now.

And im with Cerex on both the views of a debate section and an age requirement. I think those would be a good step for your guild.

by Lexx Yovel »Fri Aug 12, 2005 6:40 pm

I wanted to implement one but it never went underway. We need to add somthing to the application like how old you are. 18 or older is preferable.
