  2. I have noticed over the past week . . .

    That non-members have been attempting to vouch on member applications, if possible I have a suggestion that would help prevent non-members from vouching.

     

    Below is a list of ranks and privileges that you would commonly see on other forums.

     

    A Common Rank List on a Forum

    • Guest (Visitor)
      • Can view most forum threads and topics.
      • Can not post or comment.

     

    • {Premium} Guest
      • A Guest who has signed up to the site, and can post/comment
        • This rank can not post on member applications except for the application they submit their self.

     

    • Member
      • This rank belongs to those Guest who have signed up, applied and had their application accepted. They can vouch for other member applications, and also post and comment on threads.

     

    This is just a suggestion. I am not sure if the hosting site or program for this forum has those kinds of features . . . but if it does, I really think this would be helpful . . . instead of having to comment on non-members vouches with “You must be a member to vouch”.

  3. Gonna throw in my two cents on this issue:

     

    Like most of you guys, I too am beginning to have reservations about the number of 12-year-olds we are making exceptions for when it comes to giving membership too. Clearly, we recently made the change to drop the required age for our members from 16 to 13. And the first member to actually get membership after the change was a 12-year-old.

     

    Obviously, this screams "Incompetence" by the higher ups when it comes to following the newly implemented rules. But allow me to provide some perspective on the matter.

     

    Beefalo has been here for literal years. He is a donator. He plays almost 100% of his TF2 time on our servers. He is the perfect candidate to be considered for membership. He is kind-hearted and all around a good kid. He directly communicates with many of our staff members and is actively trying to find solutions to the server problems.

     

    When the new rule was changed, he first messaged me and asked if he might be able to apply, since he will be turning 13 soon. I decided to make the executive decision and make an exception.

     

    Now, obviously going forward, we will not be allowing every 12-year-old in the world to toss up an application and automatically bypass the rule. This time, Ohstopyou is taking initiative with another exceptional case where we have a younger player who is a regular and very active. He has also donated money to our servers and helps to curb issues whenever he is online.

     

    Is he under the required age? Yes. He is. But I think that someone who has already dedicated so much of his time and money to our servers should also be given the benefit of the doubt.

     

    Obviously, if this wasn't a special case, we would have already closed this thread. You'll also notice the thread is going forward as any member submission threads do. We aren't automatically giving him membership here. We are still leaving it up to you guys to decide. If you feel that we shouldn't allow another exception, just leave your -1 and be done with it. If you agree that this individual has proven himself to be an asset to our community, +1 him.

     

    I've already conversed with Ohstopyou about the matter, and assuming Jordan gets the 13 +1s, he will be handled as if he is another new member. If he does not, then he will be asked to wait until his 13th birthday. But let me end with this: He would not be up for discussion to be a member if we honestly didn't think he was good member material.

     

    That all being said, I will show my support and say this:

     

    +1

    A: 8

    M: 8

    Someone who devotes so much time to our servers, and someone who supports us financially, DEFINITELY should be considered for membership, even if he's only a few months away from being 13.

     

     

    Well, with this being said; I change my Vouch back to:

     

    +1

    A:8

    M:8

    Active and Friendly, would make an excellent addition.
