Recruiting List Idea

[ZQuickSilverZ]

I propose that we make a thread JUST for squadron leaders. The idea of the thread is to give information on your squadron for recruitment purposes. The post should tell your squadrons goals, playstyle, organization style, games played (sims), and website. ONE post per squadron. This would be a valuable tool for people "shopping around". I think its only fair to not only try to find new recruits, but to make sure that the new recruit gets a good fit for thierself as well. I also propose the list be updated twice a year to make sure all squadrons listed are active. If you like I will start the thread and delete it every six months or someone can be nominated. The nominee should not announce his squadron ties at the begining of the post though or at all if It is not a squadron leader (note im a member of a squad and not a leader) Just make a master copy of your post and copy and past it when the list recyclesto save typing.

 

I propose general rules of posting. There should be some kind of limit to keep the post reasonable in length and competative. Only squad leaders should post to keep the 1 post per squadron rule intact. The thread should be locked after 2 months time. If you get cuaght after 2 months you have to wait 4 for the next cycle.

 

I need to know if the squad bosses are intrested first, then I need to know what you guys consider a reasonable post, then I need to know what to call the thread (if someone else isnt nominated). I was thinking something like "Looking for a Squad go here".

 

I would appreciate any suggestions. Lets not only help our respective squads but our recruits to be and the DCS community as a whole.

Drat. I hate when people think of my ideas before I do. Seriously though, I am glad that were like minded. Thank you Duke49th for showing me that post I appreciate it. I do wish it was on the front page of the forums though, the part that says announcements and updates, general discussion, research, and problems and bugs. By the way who is the female in the avatar pic she is cute?

Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection cannot, for reasons I think are obvious, officially endorse specific groups of end users in that manner.

 

As for finding threads, squads, and so on I would recommend the button that says "search", a derivative of which gives more advanced options towards performing your search query. ;)

Yeah, I know how to use search. But honestly I dont ever look past the first page of posts (I check them every day), and I don't want to run a search everytime I make a post. Yeah, it is easy to run a search. I only meant that it would make it much more convienent to frontload it. Also I dont think frontloading the link to "squadshop" endorses anyone as long as its open to all squads.
