Changes to the Stormrage Guild system

[Occhidiangela]

If you feel that being registered on the lounge is overly restrictive, then, yes, sadly, we have a difference of opinion.

If the only requirement is registration, then my comments on the Thought Police tool, which would not be enacted anyway due to no one wishing to perform that role, are vacated and were perhaps vacuous to start with. ;)

I think you will agree that registration alone is a screening method that lacks sufficient filtering beyond Nystuls "hula hoop" model. :)

Here is how I see a transaction taking place, correct me anyone at all if I am wrong.

1. Lurker has friend, family, person on Friends list who is a legit and upright playing.

2. Discussing Guildness in game, conversation comes up 'hey, check out the Lounge, nice folks there, good place to continue with the WoW obsession."

If person chooses to register.

3. Undecided as yet further vetting process, if any.

4. Guild eligible on the Server in question.

If person chooses not to register

5. No further vetting, if there is any agreed, takes place?

6. Not eligible?

Person can still Lurk, being technicallly "a Lurker" even though not registered, and will be excluded from the Lurker Guild on that server until such time as they feel like registering. No posting required.

Registering is not rectal surgery, for sure.

Warm relations with good folk and a good rep preferred for any Guild member, but

There is no escaping risk.

As I see it, registering does not aid risk based decision making for a host of reasons offered by a number of posters in this thread. It does, in its defense as a step, indicate intent to participate in the general community, which I think Mongo Jerry prefers for site interests, and which may or may not be germane to Server Specific Guild administration matters.

It may also indicate, "Hey, if that is the hoop I have to jump through, OK, not all that hard to do." Sort of a "check for a pulse" step.

*scratches head*
*finds small critter*
*slips into mouth when no one is looking*

Hmm, was that a nit I just ate? :whistling:
