Hello everyone out there in the Tip.it Community!

 

I would like to make a few suggestions that I personally feel would improve the recruitment section on the Tip.it forums. My ideas revolve around some basic organization and maybe a few tweaks and turns here or there.

 

1. Sub forums in the Recruitment Forum for requirements.

- for example:

 

Recruitment --> Clan Search

Recruitment --> Skilling, Events, and Other

Recruitment --> 60< clans

Recruitment --> 70-90 clans

Recruitment --> 100+clans

 

Each of these would be listed as sub-forums under the Recruitment forum section. This will allow clans to not only more effectively keep track of their recruitment topics and gain more members, it will also allow people search for clans to narrow down to a specific category. This will allow people the opportunity to see first hand the good organizational skills that the staff here at Tip.it really have.

 

I also believe that by making this change, it will improve the overall recommendation for recruitment hosting that Tip.it receives from many of the major clans. Word of mouth can really travel far, and with some minor improvements, it could seriously change the face or recruiting here at Tip.it.

 

Thank you for your time,

my regards,

Thanks for your feedback! I'll pass this onto the rest of the Clan Staff. I'd love to hear more opinions about this, though.

I think this is a really good idea, although it would probably require a complete revamp of the forum; ie all the topics would need to be reposted because moving them would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

I think that if this actually does turn out to be an idea that will be used, Tip.it could give every clan a weeks notice to copy their topics so that the information posted will not be lost. I would have to recommend to each clan, that they keep a hard copy of their topic for personal reference at all times. After they have safety and securely saved their threads, Tip.it would then be able to clean out everything and start building.

 

I don't think this project should take more than 3 days from start to finish, after the weeks warning for topic removal.

 

This will give Tip.it the chance to prune out all of the clan topics that are extremely old and should be removed and as I had previously mentioned it will create a new face for recruitment for the Tip.it community.

I like this idea, a part of me thinks that we had this previously...but it slips my mind.

 

Also I am guessing we would keep the subforum of people looking for a clan still, because I really like that subforum.

Yea that sub forum would be called "Clan Search" or something to that effect.

I would personally like to keep it saying "Looking for a clan" or something along those lines, because the purpose of the forum is more easily explained that way :P

We did indeed used to have this set up. I'm trying to remember why we changed it.. I want to say we decided it was too complicated :XD: I never had a problem with it though.

It received low traffic and some sections rarely saw activity. Users felt that it segregated the community much and even alienated possible recruits. We also felt it would be more streamlined.

Haha, this old topic again. The recruitment board wasn't active before, but that's changed now of course. I think seeing a differentiation between PK/CWA and skilling/other clans would be a fine update. These days, recruitment threads are pushed to the bottom so quickly.

Perhaps taking a majority vote from the community?

I'll forward this to The Conclave.

It's being discussed by the Clan Staff, sorry for not posting that. :)
