CCA Application Changes

[Anzu]

I prefer form number one, too.

As for terrible units getting in anyway.. yes, thats bound to happen. An application isn't going to filter out every terrible player, that's why we have recruit rank and such.. remove them once you deem them not fit to be in the CCA, shouldn't be much harder than that.

The only thing missing is specifying what constitutes a paragraph, as many people seem to have their own idea of how many sentences make up one.

[Nicknero]

I like number 1 better because it really asks up effort for people to fill in. And it helps to filter out the idiots getting access to the CCA. Although number 1 might be a bit to long and have a few questions that aren't needed.

So therefore:

Agreed with Cow on this one. It seems to be perfect, with the exception of a bit more clarification on certain things. Such as indeed, stating how long a paragraph is. (Minimum 4 long or 6/8 short sentences as far as I know.)

[Teitoku Ippan]

minimum 4 sentences on a paragraph would be best like it used to be

[Anzu]

yeah that one is good now, although I'd say change the wording in OOC question 5 to

Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If yes, have you had it removed? Why?

or something similar. Its like the current question asks if you have a unit, and then instantly assumes that it was removed or you don't have it anymore, while it is quite possible and there has been people with multiple units active.
