BuBBLe GooSe wrote ... How do you judge maturity? I suppose its relative to each individual but I think that the 30 posts quota helps out and heres why... If someone spams, you know they ain't mature. The only problem is that in a clan that doesn't really have defined leadership roles, nobody is really there to post 'Don't spam cuz you're not getting into FT that way' in their introduction thread. We should collectively step up and call out the spam and most importantly, have other members to follow up and post similar sentiments. That would be key. I had originally favored taking away the 30 second rule but now that I see your post, I agree. It kind of adds on to what I was saying previously. There has been a couple of examples of people that post one liners to get into FT. Sometimes when I see a pointless bump or a couple of one liner posts I will point it out by saying something sarcastic. I don't try to be mean because I still want to give that member a chance. But we has a clan must implicate this "Pointing out forum spammers and immaturity" as a clan. This also is part of the reason why there should be a detailed logic if you vote "no" for a person. Most people that get nominated read the threads and see why they didn't get nominated, that way they know they can work on it to get nominated in the future. BuBBLe GooSe wrote ... Likewise, when you see a person post an intelligent post with capitalized letters, proper punctuation and grammar, then if you're like me, you get a stiffy. I think that if a person shows respect toward the english language even when they don't need to, then perhaps they are more inclined to show respect towards rules and other FT members. Its just a thought, but if you look at some case studies you might agree. Break out the lube Bubble because you're not alone. When I seen Wildcard's gigantic posts on some things it made me a little on the happy side myself. It's the same with Glitch. Those two are good examples of people that are a great example of a mature player. These are the people that appeal to me and should appeal to you. I tend to get along better with the people that have grammar because they tend to be more intelligent and have a mature personality. Of course you run into the pricks that think of themselves, but hell, it's the 24th century. You've got to expect these things. BuBBLe GooSe wrote ... We can't really force forum participation on active and long-time FT's. Thats why when the opportunity for a new Voting procedure came about, we brought in the playing/posting quotas as a way to encourage both areas. Not much can be done on the past, we can just look towards the future and hope that more new members will see the value/fun in forums. Agreed. Forcing it on members might tend to sway long time members away because they may feel obligated to do something that they don't want to. Forum participation like I said earlier should be up to that person, but it's strongly recommended. As for new members, we have to look for the kind of dedication that shows they are real serious about the clan. |

Ahhh Goose. I read your post. I had written that it might be a good idea because I wasn't entirely sure whether getting rid of it or not would be correct. I appreciate you taking the time out to explain to me the history behind the 30 forum post and I agree that it seems to have served it's purpose. The introduction post might need a bold statement such as you proposed and I will try to find some time tomorrow to work on it and try to get something in place. Thank you Goose. <3 Goose!!
