Before you make a post in this recruiting forum, review this post to judge your skill level or the skill level of your team members.

http://www.gotfrag.com/tf2/forums/thread/..

Failure to do so will get you FLAMED OUT OF EXISTENCE and ruin any chance at an effective "looking" thread, plus I don't like having to monitor and nuke a bunch of posts.

I repeat, FAILURE TO READ THAT LINK WILL RESULT IN AN INEFFECTIVE RECRUITING POST.

Also, it's a good idea to use this format

Username:
Age: If you want to. Not everybody wants a bunch of kids running around in teams and scrims screaming PEWPEWPEW!!!!
Skill Level: See above link
Experiences: (i.e teams, leagues, other games?)
Main class: Self-explanatory
Other classes: Classes you are also decent at or would be willing to play
Extra notes: IRC name, extra contact info. Advised not to put e-mail.
Steam ID page: If you don't post this, then nobody can contact you.

Looks good. This might be overkill but maybe a topic format too?

Example: low/mid medic LF team or low/mid team LF medic??

Like I said.. Might be overkill but it couldn't hurt right? :)

I love how something as silly as jk's skill guidelines is used as official policy, good stuff

#4 it's silly until it's enforced. Sorry, but I never want to judge or be judged based on what FRAG VIDEOS I like.

The best way to judge skill is to show which leagues match up with which skill.

STA/most of TWL - low
UGC - lowish, probably mid/low
TWL-I/CEVO-M - mid/high
ESEA-I - high

That's just my rough guess. If you plan on enforcing skill levels, make a serious guideline. (Preferably one that realizes 'mid' means 'middle', which is the bulk of teams out there, and the bulk of average teams are not nearly as bad as that post makes out.)

#8 sorry, jk's is probably better. Yours doesn't make much sense, I mean, ESEA-I is pretty much the same as TWL-I with 2oid and loaded. Also, how are you putting UGC over TWL when the top teams in UGC are in the lower divisions of TWL.

I don't know too much about those leagues, so if you've taken a close look at them I'll accept your word. What I posted was just an idea. I don't see how it doesn't make sense - you can look at what level of competition is in those leagues, and then give it a name (mid, low, high, etc). I don't understand how jk's ranking - a lot of which had nothing to do with TF2 - is better than a fact-based system like mine.

I mean, really. I like almost all of those frag videos. There you go, bad system. You guys can do better.

Every league except ESEA has teams all across the board, so that's not a good measure of skill unless you narrow down to invite/main. Hopefully in the future everyone will just be able to say what TWL division they were/are in :p

#11 - that's fine. It was just an example of a fact-based way to do it.

#12 - of course I did. But this thread implies that it should be taken seriously, and enforced.

trainrider, if I'm wrong about enforcing it, please tell me.

Chocceh: obviously huge parts of the post are jokes, but there is enough actual content there for it to be useful.

I don't understand what you mean by enforcing it. I'm not going to go through every looking post and nuke them if they don't follow the skill guidelines, if that's what you mean. It's a guideline, not a rule. I made this thread because I was tired of every recruiting thread getting filled with useless flames and spam. jk's post is sarcastic but useful.

Fair enough. I'm a little annoyed that the first big post to address the issue was a joke, but that's life.
