[.Phyrexian.] King Kento Not interested anyways, but I think your requirements are unrealistic, and also a little....i dont know how to word it. But quality over quantity when it comes to members. Quotas are a quick way to lower quality. Exactly my thoughts, there's no way that I could get 100 people to join every week and I rarely find anyone who is qualified for a guild like this. By qualified I mean someone who is actually willing to talk or discuss things rather than then begging or talking about anime. stare I think you guys are thinking that I want 100 people to ACTUALLY join, I am saying you send out invitations to 100 people, I dont care if only 20 of them actually join, thats not the goal, the goal is to let as many people as is possible know about this guild to give those people a chance to join, if they are not smart enough to be in this guild chances are they wont join and if they do join and then want to be a tard about it they will eventually get kicked for sabotaging others learning experience.

Quotas are a quick way to lower quality. i kinda wanted to be one, but seeing that makes it kind of like i don't want to be one. and yes quality! we shouldn't just start invited random ppl to make a quota! otherwise this guild will just be another version of ED Edit:sry didn't see the above post! but still, don't you think we should take the time to look for ppl in places like ED and GD that post the type of stuff you want? sweatdrop

PsychoDagger I would apply to be a mod, but unfortunately I don't have 50 posts yet. And... I don't think I'd be able to invite 200 members a week. That seems a little much. yea, it should definatly be a little lower. 5 posts everyday isn't much, but this is

Its since then been lowered to 100 votes per week, and I am sorry to all of you but I refuse to lower it anymore, our only true source of advertising is by getting up in peoples faces and asking them if they want to join, the ultimate decision is theres, but unless they know about us how are we going to get more people to talk with.
This place will not become another GD or ED because it isnt about random discussion, it is about expanding your knowledge, if it doesnt meet that criteria then it goes in a subforum, and believe me, not to many people visit subforums.

purple richie I would have done it.. but your standards are very hight, i wont be able to apply myself that much... but if ever you need help... i can help ^^ I used to have low standards when I was first making my old guild, but in my old guild our goal was to beat MPL and none of my moderators wanted to work, most of them didnt ever post and they never ever invited a single person, so I made the rule 150 invites for them and they had to post a list of the people they invited throughout the week to prove they were inviting people, and if they didnt meet quota more than 3 weeks in a row they lost there position.

I can understand having standards, but you have to be realistic! peoples lives dont revolve around gaia. Not many people can make it 5 days a week of excessive posting :S

Well, in my opinion if they cant make that they arent the person for the job.. the point of being a moderator is that you demote a bit more time than most to the guild, I dont expect all my members to be able to handle moderation, just like not every gaian could handle moderating the gaian forums, I dont think 5 posts a day is to much to ask since this guilds only been opened for 3 days and already I have over 100 posts.. I mean moderators need to answer peoples questions like I am doing now and as this guild grows there will be plenty of questions to be answered. And besides I have a life, I go to work at 5am until 12pm and I go to school until 4pm and on wednesdays until 7pm, on fridays I work until 3:30pm get home at 4:30pm, then I have homework on all the school days and I also manage a website, not to mention I like to spend time relaxing and watching movies.
Anyway, since I have been posting and pming people I have spent about 20 minutes just randomly inviting a few people and I've reached 220 invites, sure only like 53 of them joined but like I said not the point.

A guild is not a competitive entity. It's not like bigger guilds are necessarily better. Some of the best guilds I'm in are relatively small. Even if only 20 people per invite burst join, it won't mean that only the 20 BEST people of 100 will join, it could easily mean we get 20 spammers. Expanding a guild should not be a bunch of shots in the dark. Find people who qualify, and THEN invite them.

Expanding a guild should not be a bunch of shots in the dark. Find people who qualify, and THEN invite them. My way of inviting is to find those who qualify by the standard of not being a spammer or an illiterate fool, someone who takes a discussion seriously. I state in the opening of this guild 'home page' that this guild isnt about rejecting 'newbs' but helping to teach people, whether they are already extremely smart or maybe just smart enough to know they want and need to learn more, the guild is a focus point for everyone who is interested in learning, from there each person leads the guild in a new direction... and as I said, anyone who tries to go against the learning environment of the guild by spamming in undesignated forums or making jokes about things that should be taken seriously will be kicked from the guild.
I understand you dont agree with my methods, but its how I have always done it and it has worked prior and so far it seems to be working now, I think we've only had one member who has done anything lacking of intelligence and that could have been a mistake, the rest of the people are very aspiring and want to learn and are contributing to the guild pretty good.
Again I am not requiring anyone to become a moderator, unless you want to be a moderator and your issue is that you dont want to be required to find 100 names to be sent invitations to, though if that is the case then I may be able to make an exception based on your assumed method, if you'd like you could just work on finding 3-5 people a week and personally talk to them and find out whether they would be very contributive members or not and then decide if they belong in the guild or not.

Seriously your standards are to high for now, I would however be more than happy to mod. I am chief modorator on another site. GFX unlimited, which is currently down for a site re design. So I have plenty of time to mod this guild. When the other site is back up i will still have time to mod here.

Stronghearted11 ok, i think i'll give this mod thing a try, if you wish that it. i could go through ED and GD to find ppl. just pm about it (and plez restate the rules in the pm b/c i won't remember them, i'll put them in my save bow sweatdrop ) the only thing is that around mid-terms and finals i will most definatly not be on alot, simply b/c i need to study Thats fine; I wont be to active around finals either, school is definitely more important.
I changed the standards to something else, but since everyone wants to do it a different way I have given you a new requirement, you must recruit three exceptional members into the guild, all three of these members must be people who really want to participate in guild activities and you must make sure they are worthy of the guild, you do this once a week and once to get into the guild, if you have a schedule a certain week [for instance finals or vacation] you will be exempt[sp] from the rules, you also must have 30 posts to become a moderator, and your posts must contiously rise [obviously from being active in the guild this should automatical happen], if months go by without your posts rising much at all [like from 30 to 35] then you may lose your position.
Seriously though mrgreen dont ask me to lower my standards again, this is like getting your boss to let you only work 3 out of the 8 hours your getting paid for, its insane.
