ive talked to alex about this and to omega about this and i think that we as FT members (must be in 8+months) need to decide on a better FT voting system. The 18+ (mature) status has been erased from FT. i kno people from other clans and pubs that will not go into FT anymore because we used to be an elite group of players. Dont get me wrong, i love every player........BUT ~!!!! we need to enforce maturity a lot better, AND before you even NOMINATE anyone i think you should post about the player and how he acts. I dotn think that an Intro is enough because heres wat they say now "" Hi im soandso, im great at css and i like your clan"" < to me thats really not enough. If i offend anyoen with this post please tell me and it will be deleted, im only trying to better FT. again im 17, and yes we all have our immature times, but we need to enforece #1. Maturity, #2, Age, and #3, at least a 100 word + intro about yourself if you even plan on playing the FT server as a regular.. please pm me if you have any other ideas, Remember !! this is only an idea for you guys to say yes or no to, not something im forcing on anyone. Thnx and help out Peace Twitch (poE) |

I think that is a great idea. The thing about the 100 word think is that they could just lie. The thing about people posting how they act I like alot. I think if people post how the person acts then more people can see how he is. I think also we need to terminate people more. | ||

i greatly agree with Drunk, i think if your inactive for over two weeks on the site, you dont want to be in FT anymore. might seem a little short BUT it takes 2 seconds to post something fro chrits sake, show that you wanna be in FT and ur not just free loading | ||

i know i havent been in FT even for 3 months... But i do notice the overwhelming amount of member.. Mainly myself as well. I dont want to give off the wrong impression, but when i go into FTC, 60% of the server or more at almost all the time are FT members lol. At this rate, in 6 months, the only ppl that will be playing in the server will be FT lol. Like i said, i dont want to give off the wrong impression. But this was soemthing another server like a dust rotation server i hope would cure. Another server = splitting up the members. Twitch has a good idea. I like it. |

I say twitch has a good idea about the nomiations and clan membership...I mean probably before around sept. I knew everyone wore the [FT] or [FTA] tag. Nothing personal its just that all of a sudden all these people started wearing the tag and i was like "who the fuck are these people?" I'm not saying that their conduct is bad and disruptive or anything of that nature but the membership rate spiked over the past few months. Sure we've always had regs that have played in the server and their putting on the new [FT] tag doesn't really bother many people unless they're going "hey why did he get the tag and not me". But when someone puts on the [FT] tag and the specs are all wondering whether he/she had been nominated already thats telling you something. Like recently we had a player [FT] Melon on FTC.....i still don't even know whether he was nominated but eventually he was banned for not following the motd rules about only being invited to join. He claimed to play surf most of the time and since most of the surf players just randomly appear in FTC with the [FT] tag most of the FTC regs don't know them. Glitch I don't think splitting up the members is that good of an idea. I mean, like i just mentioned, look at how surf and ftc players are almost torn apart... Recently with the new surf server being put up and a plee for funding of the current surf players have been swapping back and forth but before that....FTC regs didn't know Surf regs and vice versa. Lastly i dun agree with you twitch about the 2 weeks not being on the forums. Me, in particular, don't post much if at all on the forums. I've been playing in FTC for the longest time i can remember and look at my posts!! Joined a year ago to the forums, 30+ posts....we have people trying to join the clan which have gotten 30+ posts in a couple weeks. If you start calling inactivity solely on the forums then you're gonna be forcing alot of spam posts. Mebe take into consideration a) people who told us they'd be taking a massive leave of absence like in the case of Steel and Kami and B ) Look at their activity on the servers as well? |

yes we need to enforce maturity more. definately. our newest members are very mature (wildcard, jigg, glitch just to name a few) and i think we can all learn something from them. They all posted great intros, and they didnt beg to be nominated. | ||

I don't agree with the two-week inactivity suggestion. I haven't played CS:S for more than an hour in over three weeks probably. I visit the site daily but really only post when necessary(as in, not in Wu's threads). The fact is I've been inactive because I'm active elsewhere. I've had mountains of work, and for the little time I had free, I played BF2142. Sue me. You can't make a finite rule for inactivity. It just won't work. |

The maturity issue is a big issue among a minority of FT members. Although I am not going to point out any names, I have problems with a couple of them members. The age limit should not be proposed as a limit simply because there are more people that play Counter Strike that are under the age of 18 then there are that play above it. And most people I see that are above that age limit usually go Cal or solo, so who would we be appealing to? I know that this does not necessarily conclude much evidence since the last two members to be nominated (Jigga and Wildcard) were above 18. This was discussed in another thread before, which I can't remember which one, but we should keep the 18 or equivalent rule. Maturity will be based on the regulars that have played in game with the player. This player must have shown maturity in following the rules, conduct, and a mature sense of personality. This, would be explained by the person nominating them like in most threads that are put up for nominations. The current "30 posts, 100 hours" rule for a person to be nominated is good, but it leaves yet to be desired. I believe that this in turn is going to let some of the wrong people in the clan. The Dust2 server idea was only thought up by me (And Nostie) because we had thought we would like FT to expand, thus giving more members. I do not see anyone with FTC in their name at all anymore, and the only reason that we had it in the first place was because it was people that was part of the competitive branch. This was to validate members that were a part of it, not to separate people. I was in FTc but I still participated in Office and Surf. A separation of members is a bad idea. The whole idea like I said before of the Dust2 server was so that FT would appeal to newbies that are new to the community so we would have a more diverse selection. Even then, people still want into FT weekly even because of the Office server alone. And as for inactivity goes, it should be up to the person that is inactive to let us know that they are going inactive, or if they are just plain and simple leaving the clan. Sin left a pissy and stupid note on his leave, but at least he did it instead of idling until someone terminated him. Unless you have a case like Bobby Digitals case where you get into a car accident and are unable to play for a while, then you have a different story. Showing us that you are on leave is solely up to that individual. The forum rule...is not a rule. I don't believe that you have to participate in the forums in order to be "active". However, it is strongly recommended that you do participate in the forums especially if you are active in the server because sometimes input is important (Such as the kever thread) and as well as nominations. For instance, a member could be nominated that has given trouble that only an admin that is inactive on the forums would know about. That's why it's strongly recommended for one of those reasons. Not only that, it's a great place to let newbies know who you are and encourage them in introductions. Not every new member has met some of the people that are on here. I really have nothing else to say, just responding to the thread in general and expressing my opinion to those that were mentioned. |

Well, i just dont think that people are getting involved enough with the site.....im one to talk .. i havnt posted much either, but ima try really hard (ya maybe 2 weeks is strict and should be like a month......) but, this has gone way outa hand. we have players that dont post at all after they get in. rule #1. If your a member, YOU MUST post a REASONABLE amount of SENSIBLE posts on the "NEW THREADS" section on the home page. exceptions would be like you all have stated, work, or other serious life happenigns or problems (i personally am leaving June 7th for Basic Training" so things like that should be excused BUT i think members that have been in FT for a LOOOONNNGGGG time and dont post should just be eliminated off the site... |
