Forum Posting / Recruitment

[Broin]

I know that there is already a thread about this somewhere, but I couldn't find it so I'm making a new one.  

Now is the time for us to really to start keeping up with recruitment and posting on our recruitment thread.

With the preorders out there people and the game with a tenative release for Holiday 2011 people will be looking more towards finding a guild that they want to join.

I think right now we have an excellent base.  With nearly everyone in the guild signed up to play or looking to play, and lots and lots of hard core people.

I really think that we are primed to hit the ground running, but now we need to get in on that second wave of people who are out looking to get into a guild.  


With that in mind please keep our guild recruitment thread posted up and on the first page.  

I know that Anamodiel has been cruising the forums where people are looking for a guild and sending them the link to the challenge.  Feel free to keep your eyes open for any potential recruits and forward their information to Anamodiel or our new Diplomani officer.

Let's keep the ball rolling and picking up speeed in this next phase.

[Anamodiel]

Bump it every hour.

Or Anamodiel will be pissed.

Thanks.

[Arawn]

Isn't every hour, spam? I'll check out the posting rules and see whats allowed and whats not.

[Broin]

Let's just keep it on page 1 for now

[Erathaol]

We've been doing pretty good at keeping it on the first page, or at least better these last few days.

But I've noticed that it's always the same few people posting over and over, making our faction seem much smaller than it really is.

I looked back through just the last 5 pages of posts, and there have been only 14 Angels posting, with the number of posts as follows.
Tbone: 8
Anamodiel: 6
Manic: 4
Mharz: 4
Dagonet: 3
Erathaol: 3
Nocry: 3
Ragnarok: 3
Eeth: 2
Venlar: 2
Keeloth: 1
Kidney: 1
Revalis: 1

We have more than 14 members, right?  
Great job, those who have been consistently posting!
Those who have not (or haven't in a while), hop to it!
Post or Anamodiel will get pissed, and if he gets pissed he'll do... something.  Yeah, something.

[Amarantus]

Broin. If you have a chance post up the link to the topic. That way people who check these boards daily, but not the SW:TOR boards, can easily get there and bump the post.

[Arawn]

Im not on that list. Bah. I demand you put me on it. >_<

Can you guys link the recruitment thread in one of the side modules?  Easier for people to get to, maybe will spur more people bumping?

[eeth]

seems like i've seen a lot of posts within a few minutes of each other lately. we running any risk of being nailed for spamming?

[Ketamininja]

I've been guilty of that now, too.
These things usually happen because I have the reply open, leave the machine for 5 minutes, and return to make the post. In the mean time, someone else has posted.

Must make an effort to double check before hitting the POST button.

Naturally, and just like any other time, we do ask that you not make “spam” posts (to include “/bump”) to inflate the post count of your guild recruitment thread – or anyone else’s. The Guild Recruitment Rules and Guidelines are still very much in effect, and there are several “stickies” at the top of each sub-forum to help you get the most out of the time you spend in our Community.

* Duplicate postings, spam, bumping and trolling posts are not allowed and will be removed and the user may be warned or given infractions.

Examples of bad post topics inside your guild thread: Guild chatter “Has anyone seen X movie or played X game?”, bump posts, negative posts about other guilds, repeated posts about the same topic.

I know our posts are more "RP" orientated... but they may still be considered bump posts.

[Arawn]

bump post... that could be virtually anything and everything... just keep the RP imo... every guild has its different recruitment methods

[Ragnarok]

I believe way back when the challenge went live and we created the recruitment thread that Tbone talked to a mod about bump post, forum rules, etc. Now if I recall correctly what we are doing was deemed as being ok after some explanations.

[eeth]

ok cool, good to know! seems like it's about every hour to stay on page one now.
