How would "You" get good members

[Time-Traveller]

But see stoi, that is what cabalo and i are trying to say....make it personal. Don't chose recruiters based on any sort of user class, and in turn the recruiters also don't go out and judge based on tracker status

I might have thought of a way to deliver the "the personal touch" virtually. It goes back to the psychological profiling thing I touched on earlier

What if you had some kind of online application form that gave your perspective applicant a series of multiple choice questions that were picked randomly from your question bank.

Once the form was submitted it would be automatically checked and a score would be given based on the answers provided.

might take a while to setup if you wanted to write your own questions but there must be code out there that does this as a lot of companies will use this type of test as part of the interview process.

I'm not saying this is the answer to every trackers problems however could be something in it.

I think an approach like this might work if it were done in a way where a recruiting "committee" and staff could jointly talk about the applications.

The problem with apps is that, like many have said before, they create a lot more tedious work than might be needed. i can tell you this from a personal point of view because I was a moderator and DM of a NWN persistant world, and we only allowed certain multi-classes and subraces via a request system.

Let me tell you, after a while, you simply stop reading the requests, or start putting them off and procrastinating. Then all of a sudden your request or application system is a failure and actually unfair to others, since its a dead end.

K in that case I vote we just go with Dragoi's solution it's both simple and elequant, take me to your leader lol

There is no tried and tested method so it comes down to what works for each particular site. As has already been proved, open reg didn't work for BCG as too many members created dupe accounts and invites get traded.

I'm sure that there are members, other than staff, willing to recruit for the site who will do background checks on potential members. You have a dozen people doing this and you should bring in some decent new members. The only problem is that you would have to change the rules for these recruiters so that they are not penalised if they bring in a bad member but neither do they get anything in return if they bring in good members. At least that way you know they are just doing it for the good of the site.

Yeah, I thought Naix's post above his was the worst of the thread, then I read dragoi92's post and was quickly corrected.

Btw, it feels good to finally have a decent discussion around here. I haven't found a topic like this in a long time that prompted me to start posting a lot.
