How voting works

After much debate and discussion these are the rules pertaining to voting on a person for full membership.

All new members once recruited are automatically ranked as recruits, after one week they are auto promoted to Corporal. At the 30 day point they are up for vote on Sergeant and full membership.

All clan members with rank of Sergeant and above are eligible to vote on a candidate. All votes will be held in citadel meeting room and the candidate is not allowed to be in attendance for vote. Also no members in attendance at vote should congratulate or offer condolences to candidate until official results are announced.

In order for a candidate to pass their vote 2/3 of those in attendance must vote yes on them becoming a full member. If 1/3 in attendance or more vote no on candidate becoming a full member, there is no second vote. The candidate will politely be asked to exit the cc.

If anyone has issues with a candidate prior to them coming up for vote, please inform an admin, as we want the cc to be a fun place to hang out and enjoy each others company.

The admin team will meet prior to each vote and discuss any candidates that have received complaints against them prior to the clan vote being conducted. If its decided the candidate isn't a good fit then vote will be canceled.

If anyone has questions about anything not covered in here, in regard to voting on a new member, please post them below.

Thank you Chuck for the post. Well said.

I have a few questions...not surprising huh....sorry. But you know me, I just like to have it all cleared in my head and not be thrown for any loops!

I do not agree with the part of the admins deciding if a vote can be cancelled. Somewhere along the line, it would have to be stated why.
I think it would be better if those issues of someone not being a good fit were brought out during the voting time. Give everyone a few minutes to digest why they may not be a good fit and then let the group decide. If you take away the voting from the group, then it is not a group decision. If they are truly not a good fit, they will get over the 1/3 no vote.

Another concern, which I am sure is why the admins put in the vote will be canceled if not a good fit. What if someone has already been voted in, or even an old fuddie like myself, starts to become a problem. Do we have a plan in place to have them removed from CC?

By the way, I love the people in our clan! It is an awesome place to hang out!!!

Good question, Trina! But I think you either there or not. I would, however, really like to be able to vote by proxy, too, since I am always in school or studying in the evening!

yes Trina. If you will send a PM on this site to two admins we will see that your vote is cast accordingly.

any vote to be had will be posted on well in advance. If someone would have an issue with 1 of the players being voted on I would hope it would be brought to an admins attn well before that vote time so we could address the issue.Not wait until vote time to voice an issue.

Thanks Charlotte
