Follow these rules and there should be no trouble. Break these rules and there will be trouble...for you. Below are suggestions for your recruitment topics. Follow these suggestions and you may have greater success. Ignore these suggestions and no one will care.
Rules:- Put your server and guild name in the topic title.
- If you do not have anything nice to say about someone/someone's guild/recruitment topic, don't say anything. It's a rule we've been hearing all our lives. In other words, don't start shit and shit won't happen.
- If you do not have anything constructive to add to the topic, don't post. This will keep spam down and reduce the possible effects of post count bias (more posts make it look like your guild is popular).
- Don't spaz out and go ape shit if no one wants you in their guild.
Suggestions:- State the general timezone your players are in
- Activeness
- Average level
- Guild leader's name (since it's not always the leader who makes these topics)
- How often you GW and whether or not you (plan to) go to Guild Siege
- How often you (plan to) CW
- List your recruitment requirements:
- Level of the people you are looking for
- Jobs you are looking for
- Any particular timezone or country you are looking for (eg. BrasilItanPlzBR recruits brazilians only)
- Any other requirements
Thanks to Reikooters for some of these rules/suggestions.
