Dave posted this in another topic, thought I'd answer myself here:
I think this is a great opportunity to ask potential members some important questions. Please answer truthfully as it will give us the best idea of who you are and your personality for those who may not have had a chance to get to know you. Please include as much detail as possible.
1. If you were to get accepted in to the clan, and at any time you had a problem with a specific admin, member, or with something going on in the clan, how would you handle your concerns?
2. We require dedication and maturity. How long would you be willing to wait for the admin to decide if you should be accepted or not?
3. You say you're 12, maturity is HUGELY important, and as I'm sure you're aware, age is not always a good indicator of maturity. What makes you different and more mature than your peers? In other words - why do you stand out from the rest?
4. If you are accepted to [PCSHOP] how long do you plan to stay? What could potentially change your mind about being a member and cause you to leave? (Answer both, please)
5. Do you want to join [PCSHOP] just for the admin/mod possibilities? How would you react if you were denied purchasing admin because
a mod thought you would be an abuser? (Answer both, please)
6. Being a member is not always easy, and most definitely not always fun work. You're not always everyone's favorite person, and at times
you'll be met with quite a bit of animosity and resistance when you have to enforce rules, even from your friends. It also can cause your scores and ranks to go down from having to pause to take a demo, warn someone, etc and you won't always be able to just play carefree like you used to. When you are in the servers, there's no "on" or "off" the clock, and often times regs will pull you into a server if you're on steam and not playing, to help enforce the rules or take a demo/ban/kick someone if you have admin. Are you prepared for all of this? Why do you think so? How do you plan to cope with some of the stressors that come along with being a member?
1. Bitch to somebody important who can do something about it / mediate: Dave. If he's the issue then I will bitch to everyone else and have him overthrown.
2. I don't see why a month or two wouldn't be long enough, especially when I'm very active during winter break and most others are too. By the end of three months I'd just accept the no.
3. I can be mean but I choose to be nice. And I TRY. I TRY SO FUCKING HARD to be nice to people that IRRITATE ME TO THE CORE and people who I CAN'T F
CKING STAND. So these people that annoy me, I'm nice to them. In general I consider every situation from the other person's shoes as best I can before I speak. I do not think I'm more mature than some of my peers, and that's a good thing in my book.
4. I'll be around for a while. I mean: When I was 13 and playing CS I was thinking Damn imagine if I'm like these loser 18 year olds still playing. Now I'm 18 and like imagine if I still play this when I'm 30. Of course I won't be constantly in here for the next decade but I fade in and out. I do the same for other communities I'm part of. I fade in and out but the people still know me and I'm around enough. In short I'll be around for a while. Cause for me to leave? Life will always be a temporary distraction but there is nothing that will make me leave permanently that I forsee. For example I saw laidbackplaya made a recent thread. From the replies I can only assume he's a great guy but he's too busy with life right now to be playing video games. I'd wager a lot that he is going to be back eventually though. I am much the same way.
5. Don't care about admin. If I'm needed I'll be fair or if I'm bored I'll pay for hook and stuff but it's not something I am thinking about now.
6. This isn't the first or only community I've been in I know what it entails and I can handle myself. I feel like this was just a question for Dave to rant in. Let it all out buddy.
