This idea comes from Paragon I know, but I would like to see something like this made onto the server so let me go ahead and throw this out there for you all.
Who are we?
The New Standard Initiative (NSI for short) is a group of volunteer members of the Freedom WoW community who use their spare time to help new (and old) members finish character ideas, applications, events. We offer proof reading on applications and provide solid feedback on what we feel should be changed.
We're also available for just bouncing ideas off of.
Our goal, is to ensure that the application you get our help with is approved.
What can we offer you?
We can provide help with the following:
- Applications
- Guilds & guild ideas
- Character stories & backgrounds
- Role playing tips and pointers
By now you might wonder how we handle applications sent to us. Our feedback process starts with us getting a personal message / message containing an application. First we read through it, sometimes more than once. Then we start correcting it. We usually prefer getting the applications over the forum. That way we can correct the application with color codes and put in additional comments.
We generally stick to a couple of colors, each having a different meaning.
These color codes are:
Red - Grammatical error or sentence structure.
Green - Possible additions to the sentence. These are often to flesh out a sentence.
Blue - Questions, if we have questions about what you wrote - Inconsistencies or contradictions.
Pink - Lore errors. Often false knowledge of a subject.
Light blue - New Standard member notes. These are done by each member who reads the text. They are often placed at the end of the application or under every paragraph.
Some conditions apply
We'd love to check out your application and help you find the right idea to your next character. But we're volunteers, we do this in our spare time. It usually takes us one to two days to do the first review of an application after that, it's a contentious process.
Our feedback is sometimes overwhelming for some (your application will look like a rainbow with the wrong colors). We know that we've probably corrected a lot, that's why we ask you to stay with us! We've put work into reviewing your application and we hope that you won't abandon it because of it.
