New Recruitment Policy

Listen up. This is how we are doing recruitment into the Squigs from here on in. We will be discussing candidates, as a clan, in private. Every member gets to have their say, which I think is how it should be. At a point when we feel there is enough support for bringing in the new member, he or she will be brought in, simple as that. I'll make a post in their candidate thread saying something along the lines of, welcome to the Squigs. Throw on the tags.
    What will no longer happen, is discussing in the public candidate threads. The person wishing to join will make their thread and say what they want to say. At that point, I will post, saying that I've seen their thread, and they are being discussed. No candidate thread should have more then 2 posts. If people can't follow this rule, I will simply lock the threads once I respond to them, and unlock them when the candidate is accepted or rejected.
    If you have not been around the community and active in the community, on the servers and in vent, please do not apply. Become active, get to know the members of the Squigs, then apply for the clan. If someone who is not active or simply too new, I will tell them that in their thread, and ask them to reapply later.
    If someone in the community, not in the Squigs, feels strongly about an applicant and wants to "vouch" for them, here's what you do. You send me a steam message, catch me in the SB or on vent. I'll keep your vouch in mind. Though the vouches that truly matter are the ones from the members of the clan.

 This is a fairly simple process to follow, so I'm asking nicely that everyone does from here on in.

Also, please try to give us more than "So I'm applying...yeaaahhhh"

Let us know why you would to become part of {TF2F}.

Tell us what you hope to gain out of wearing the tags and how you can contribute.

What classes you're good at help a little, even thought we don't really base decisions on skill, it's nice to know what you play.

What makes you stand out from the other players, whether that involves making Fanlaen ragequit or you headshotted Snuts once, a long time ago. Please give us something more than just a name and that you're applying.

Thanks.

Should I re-app because I have a thread but i don't want to necro it -_-

Bumped as a reminder, since clearly people seem to have forgotten these rules. Please do not post in candidate threads, unless you are Lancer or the person who is applying.

While I agree with the change, I think there should be some way of letting an applicant know WHY people didn't want them in ("yet" or otherwise). It's one thing for the people having a reason to not want someone in, but it's another for not telling them and expecting them to change. The first step towards correcting a problem is knowing what the problem is in the first place. People keep their anonymity while at the same time applicants know what they need to improve on. I'm not saying this from a personal standpoint at all, but I'm just suggesting a way to get the "best of both worlds" here.

Problem is, we've seen people who "change" themselves, get let into the clan, and barely a week later, revert to their old ways. Regardless, this is not up for discussion, and a mod should really lock this topic.

I vouch against everyone, if you want to know the reason why i vouch against you, i am on steam.

See this is why I was against Fanlaen getting back in.


Oh was that out loud?

that's pretty much what i was going to say.

I have a question about this new policy:

Is there a way to find out how you currently stand, like what you need to improve on/ do more often after you've applied?

Or would it be best to just IM an admin to find out?
