Recruitment
The recruitment message in the channels, the welcome for new members and the keyword invite.
In your game: Recruitment
- What it does
- For officers: a recruitment message that comes back on the interval you choose and goes out to the channels with one click, a welcome message for whoever joins the guild, the automatic keyword invite by whisper and the Scanner, which looks for players without a guild. For members: it shows whether the guild is recruiting and lets you help spread the word.
- Who sees it
- Everyone sees the tab, but each person sees a different screen: the officer configures; the member sees the message and chooses whether to help spread it.
- Where to find it
- In the window (J or /gos), Recruitment tab. Switch it on and off in Settings › General › Modules.
How it should behave
- It comes off. The default interval is 120 seconds, and the minimum is 60.
- Each send to a channel takes a click: a popup appears with the channel and the exact text, and it only goes out if you press Post.
- Between two sends from the same game, at least 30 seconds pass; a click before that does nothing.
- A member only helps spread it if they choose to. The officer sets up to which rank members may spread it in Helping Members; if not set, any rank.
- A member receives at most 40 spread requests per session; after that the addon pauses on its own and warns.
- The welcome comes on and goes out in guild chat through an officer's game; with several officers online, only one sends. In Forever, it waits for the officer to click before going out.
- The automatic invite comes off. When on, whoever whispers the keyword (untouched, ginv) is invited, with a 5-minute wait per name; banned players never. In Forever, each invite waits for the officer to click Invite.
This is not a bug
- You have to click for the message to go out: the game does not let an addon post to a channel on its own.
- The popup without the Post button? You are not in any of the chosen channels: join one of them.
- Changed the message and members are still spreading the old one? It reaches them with Broadcast to Members, when turning it on or off, or on the resend every 5 minutes while recruitment is on.
- Send Now does nothing for a member when the guild is not recruiting.
