- Officers have the ability to see and process our applications. Applications appear in-game as a notification, or in the guild>wtu>recruitment>applications menu.
- Under normal circumstances, deny any blank or crappy applications. If we’re desperate for members, allow any application you want.
- Pop a message in zone chat now and again, if you feel like it, to recruit new members to the guild. I posted mine in the Copypasta section. Use that, or write your own if you’d prefer.
Note: I use this copypasta when declining a poor application: Due to the massive influx of new members, we are now declining all blank, nearly blank, and insufficiently descriptive applications. Please reapply and tell us all about yourself in your application!
Note: If we hit 500 members, we’re removed from Guild Finder. We don’t want that. Please never let us hit 500.
As of 2024-10-24, we log all applications that are:
- Approved
- Declined for reasons other than blank or insufficiently descriptive.
to the #applications channel on Discord. Ideally, with a typed UserID, shown below:
To take a clean screenshot of the application and avoid having to crop it in Paint, you can use these tools:
- Windows Snipping Tool – Win+Shift+S – will darken and freeze your screen. Then simply select the area around the application tooltip and it will copy it to your clipboard, allowing you to paste it directly into Discord.
- ShareX – getsharex.com – Ctrl+PrntScrn – functions very much the same as Snipping Tool, but allows more precise cursor placement (you can use the arrow keys to move a pixel at a time, and the cursor also has a zoomed in preview attached to it) and can also open up a window with tools like adding text, arrows, highlights, etc. Overkill for our needs, but a great screenshotting tool in general.
If you approve any application, or deny one for a reason other than the ones listed above, please post a screenshot in the #applications channel. Thanks!
Invitation and Application Priority
- Users in the
#welcome-backchannel - Applications by users who used to be in the guild
- Applications that are referrals – “My friend @whoever said I should join”
- Any other application
Decline message
I like to use the following message as my Decline reason:
Hi! Unfortunately, we decline all blank, nearly blank, and insufficiently descriptive applications. Please reapply and tell us all about yourself in your application! –WtU Administration
