Ok. So we all know once you get a recruit, it can be very hard to guide them through the process of applying. Hopefully this guide will be able to help.
Congratulations on getting a recruit! But it will not be official until they apply and are accepted on our website. I have included a list of step by step instructions that you can simply copy paste to your recruit. The instructions for recruits will be in red and the instructions for recruiters in blue. Troubleshooting is in normal text color.
If their name does not exactly match their in game name they must fill out a name change request here. You may want to ask them not to use any clan tags in their forum name and to remove the extra clan tags until they are accepted into eGO. You are allowed to multi-clan but PSC seems to have issues with the in-game name not exactly matching the forum name. Just tell them to remove the tags and once they are accepted they can put them back on. Name chance requests must be approved by council. It can take a few days. If you want to speed up the process, politely ask lungbuster to help you out. Be sure to thank him and tell him he is the best council ever! (It really does help.)
Once your recruit tells you they have finished, check the shoutbox to see if they have joined. The welcome message will not appear until they have successfully created their account. While you are waiting, copy and paste their steam community page URL into http://steamidfinder.com/ to get their steamid.
Click on the link to their profile you found in the shout box. When they say they have entered in their steamid, check to make sure the box on their profile has a steamid in it and says unverified. If not, they have not entered in their steamid.
Refresh their profile until the red unverified turns into a green verified.
If it does not verify double check that the steamid is correctly entered in the box. Sometimes recruits leave off the STEAM_ or are missing numbers. Also make sure they are in an eGO server. Wait 5 minutes at the most.
After that double check their steamid by typing "status" in console. Very rarely the steamid converters mess up.
If all else fails, contact me or a member of PSC leadership. They likely use a proxy to mask their IP or they are in a country that proxies all IP addresses.
When they say they are done, check the PSC forum http://www.edge-gamers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=636 for their application. Read over it. If parts are incorrect, simply have them edit the post. Refresh the application and let them know when they are accepted.
Once they complete this last step, you are done.
Cheers!
