I don't agree with you on this one mate!This is why:

I think people who are trusted should get promoted by staff to be intro reppers because anyone who is 33% can let someone in the site. Also all the most reason why we should adopt using the irc to interview people. We can get profile links from them and get to know them better. Quality over quantity in my opinion.

I think this is an execellent suggestion mate!The interview thing in the irc is not easy to implend,cause there have to be always active users at the given channel.This has been discussed many times and our staff said,that for now it's not possible.

But I am for changing some of the questions and make them more clearer for all new users.Cause many of them don't really understand the trading invites question fro example and many just copy or already know what to say from the other intros.

The best solution is an interview in the irc channel(if a channel for this purpose is created one day) ;
The "intro repper" can ask more questions apart from the intro form and even ask the specific user to go to the irc and have a private conversation(this of course will take some time and it's up to the individual "repper",whether he has the physical time and desire to do that).But this way we will have a clearer idea of our future member's and why they want to join us.But as said above - this is part of future discussions.

About the "intro reppers",we can have something like 10-15 or more,who are active at the intro section all from diffrent time zones.This way there will always be a "repper",who will have a look at the new intros and so on....

To qualify for this position I suggest :
55% and above;
long time member here at T-I;
very active at the intro sub-forum:
has good reputation among the other T-I's member;
and of course our staff will have the final word.

That's all from me here.My brain is drained now,lol!
Jekata out!

I agree with you guys. i invited my friend and today i became 33% i still felt i shouldn't be the one to rep him in

Your situation was a little bit different though, Tru-ninja, you weren't hanging out there by yourself trying to make the decision. I was there and was going to rep him in, then you got 33%. Might as well let you have the experience of doing it plus I didn't have to give him a lot of rep points right off the bat.

I heartily disgree that only Exalted should rep in. There are too many people there who work very hard and do a wonderful job and no way should they be disallowed from doing so because they don't have some title. Besides, there are only 9 Exalted (soon to be 10), and we'd soon drown under the workload.

However, I also think that attaining 33% doesn't automatically qualify someone to be working in Intros. I also think that anyone who wants to work in intros needs to be given some basic instructions (far beyond what is currently given). They should also prove that they have a good working knowledge base concerning T-I and working on intros in particular.

The problem is that restricting who works in intros is diametrically opposed to what our administration wants, which is a website where all are encouraged to contribute.
