I joined purely to shoot the s()&t and possibly have a little more fun with the game by getting to know some of the players etc etc etc. I don't know if I would have stood before the council of doom in my underpants and begged for mercy on my soul.
Ok. My 2 cents. I'm still kind of new myself, but we've already established that I can't keep my mouth shut. Just make sure to keep it fun.

It does sound all serious and non-M.O.M, Dave, I know. Fact is, it's not much different from the policies we've supposedly had in place right along. Just a matter of re-routing. Players have always been asked to introduce themselves, provide name, age, location, rank, a bit of personal bio...that's still all we're asking, only in email form rather than a post on the thread. So we haven't tightened the requirements much at all. As for the "assessment period" that would not have applied to you...you and I had played a fruckload of games together before I invited you to apply. Tex's suggestion about a two week evaluation would only apply to unfamiliar players. Ultimately the point of all this is to keep the thread focused on fun, not glut it with recruiting bafflement. And to better keep the roster peopled with fun...people.
Just one other note of sorta why this is happening.... When we were a group of 20, then 30...and so on... It was easier to follow what was going on, on the Thread with a new recruit.. But now that we are over 100 members, more of the newer members are posting, things are being overlooked through all the meaningful everyday essays of BS... An example of which was, Poor Ole

MOM will never be like any of the other Squadrons, you can count on that..... Who wants to be the Recruitment Officer?? Any volunteers??
Didn't think so......
Nothing is changing during the changing period of the changing... Except mine and Dent's Depends...
