I've been thinking for a while, and vibe was the one who brought this up awhile ago, and I won't do anything without your guys's say but I think we need to change how people get into our clan.
Right now, it's invite only and only 4 people can give out invites. And when we have a drought of new members, I think its my fault for not actively recruiting and also iNoob gets the impression like he has to ask me if he can give an invite to so-and-so, or worry about me getting mad if he spam invites.
Also when "pros" want to join, they don't feel confortable asking for an invite and there's no way for me to know that they want in.
So I think we should make Rx not invite only, and free for anyone to app. But we're still "family" and all that so we have to tighten up our voting process. Don't vote yes just because they're nice and easy to get along with, like we have been doing. There's a TON of nice people out there, dones't mean they all should be Rx. Only vote yes if you know the person well and are nice and all that. This means prospect period will be shorter since there will be evaluation in the begining too. Also, I want to bring more skill into the picture, we aren't just a nice group of people, we're a df clan that have good df ideals and play df together. We can't have a bunch of noobs in our clan. But I also want to expand the apprentice position so we can still have nice people in the clan who suck (kiley, nadia cough cough :])
I have a few more ideas on how I want to set up the actual voting structure .. maybe a points system based on categories (personality, familiararity to the clan, and skill) but this is the basic gist of it. Let me know what you think
