Create individual recruitment referral links for new members #156

Closed TheBlackxRanger closed 4 months ago

TheBlackxRanger commented 1 year ago

A suggestion from AD Impulse. Reinstating the ability to create referrals links to send to new members/prospects which would automatically assign the respective recruiter as a new recruit's recruiter on the join form.

AD Impulse suggests this is a feature that used to be in place but is now disabled.

Encouraging members to spam their "referral link" in the hopes of earning a pile of MoIs isn't a good idea and there's a toll that the process of churning through unvetted applicants takes on the leaders of the club. If someone genuinely feels like a member led them to the TC, there's already an opportunity for them to name their recruiter on the form and I'd say that's enough.

In general, I feel that sending people directly to the join form is poor practice and encourages low-quality recruiting efforts. It's intended to be what it is (the form), not a landing page for prospective new members. Other pages such as https://tc.emperorshammer.org/aboutus.php or https://tc.emperorshammer.org/recruitment.php are more intended for that purpose.

To that end, it would seem that incentivizing people to use a customized link directly to the join form isn't the best idea. In concept we could catch a referral PIN on one of the other landing pages, and use it if the user happened to go to the join page from there (in fact, specifically NOT enable direct referral linking to the join page).

Comments/thoughts welcome.

My only suggestion would be to make the "Would you.like to join our team?" wording larger or make a button like on the recruitment page so that it's very clear and enticing that it it is a "Join/sign up" button Maybe rewording to say "would you like to be a member?" Or something to that effect
