Welcome new members of Crescent Company
![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
wongkksusan_11 All new recruits (as well as existing members) should go to Rankings-Members Dossiers (in tags) and create a profile to find friends with common interests, (other than of course, our abiding love for The General of The Army.)
Most of our recruits have been screened in, some are sponsored in to the community by Captains and Staff Officers. In future, anyone sponsoring in a new member must be mutually friended to the nominee, in fairness to our screened recruits.

Also, I was wrong-footed by the profile statement (about how to join) which reads as though being sponsored was the GA preferred route (seems logical) but then, when I'd miraculously found that the Uesugi_gakuto mod was kind enough to rec me, the responding post-enlistment post implied that we should have gone for the screening option - which I would have been happy to do (easier for me than squirmingly having to ask a favour, no?) were it not for the recruitment advice on the profile page laying it on thick about sponsorship. Sigh. I get confused easily.
Sorry this is a long comment - but, as you're watching and asked the question, you might be interested in the whole answer!

When we unlocked some of the posts on the community, people could see the com and decide for themselves if they wanted to join.
Sponsorship is quicker, screening takes up to a month in some instances, depending on how busy the Officers of the Membership Section are.
If you were uncomfortable with asking someone, you could have gone for screening, as most of our new members have.
For now, both options are available, both have their good points, as always we are looking to make our methods more efficient. Our primary goal is always the fostering of a respectful and friendly community, so that means at times our members have to jump through a few hoops.

On the hoops, I'm game for hoops, if you'd like them jumped through; you have only to give the orders. I realize that the GA machinery has its own logic and momentum, but we lowly prospective foot-soldiers have great potential to be confused - or at least this one has! - so thanks for taking the trouble to explain.

Oh boy, your words made me blush >/////< But thanks for the compliment :)
I try always to do my best ^_____^

Those members who are Staff Officers have these ranks because they volunteered for the not-fun stuff, monitoring the com, screening recruits, in some cases helping to run our affiliate coms, Bunraku Blog and Redleather_Love (for Genesis) so if you're up for it, you can gain rank very quickly.
