March Is Almost Over Dude... A March Update!

and if they quality

Also, does this mean that they get two days instead of 30 to get the full amount of vouches or are we going on majority vote? It seems like a REALLY small time frame. @Aegean

I'm interested in the new member application process. Can't wait to see what happens

Fixed, and also it is a small time frame but there will not be a vouch requirement anymore, just a requirement based on other things (i.e. server time, age, etc) If you look at other big gaming communities, this is how they structure their membership, and I think although our staff is one of the more strict (which I prefer), our membership process should be much more lenient to reflect a more open community.

I'd start with a minimum of a week for now, look at how many applications that have been up for a month or more and haven't been closed that have zero input.

It'll all make more sense once we announce more details. But the time frame shouldn't be an issue at all.

Two days seems like a small time frame, but then again it doesn't seem like you're very clear with the membership application changes. I'm sure that will be explained a bit more when the time hits?

Also personally, I feel like having an "exclusive" vibe gives more incentive to xG. You could probably say that most people who come to apply want to be able to wear the tag, along with being able to give their say on somethings. Making it easier is no problem though; Getting more people in here faster is always good.

Or make it where it's still a month but only need 2-3 Members, 1Admin+, 1 Mod

The whole issue is people do not want to wait towards a month just for an answer, they just don't come on xG forums again and look for another communtiy who accepts them. Having a universal application process that accepts people into our community as long as they fit our certain requirements & if no member gives a good reason for someone to be denied a membership is what we want to strive for. If anyone becomes a member and we find out that they actually don't belong, we still have the section for member protests :) Our numbers dwindle as players on our servers try to join our community, don't get accepted within a good period of time, and then forget about us and join another community.

@Aegean

For teamspeak

About time a new view to membership applications was made. It is just too hard for some people to get the requirement of vouches to join in most cases. I hope this new process makes the whole application procedure feel more welcoming and less of a strain to newcomers.

THANK YOU AEGEAN :D

I've been on xG in TF2 for awhile, but only fixed my mic recently, applied almost a month ago and it's been buried under a bunch of new applicants.

xG really was starting to seem like an exclusive club rather than a lively community to me. :unsure: :S

Should I resubmit my app. in April or will the 2-day window apply to previous applicants?

Wait until the new the system rolls out before reapplying, just to make sure you fall under the under the new system.

So, as for member applications, would the +1/-1 system be changed to a simple judgment call based on those who voice their opinions of the member? Or would the +1/-1 thing still be intact with +7 still being the acceptance level?

Details will be out in 2 days, but we will not have a required amount of vouches anymore for membership, but still accept input from our members + staff on whether a player should become a member or not.
