Denied Remove Civilian Name from app formats.

[ArcherOfLegend]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Removes the Civilian Name from being part of application formats.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Potentially but this is a very minor thing so I doubt it.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Less bloat in an application
- Removes something some see as bloat.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Civilian RPers might be upset.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Honestly the amount of people who RP as civilians is 10x less than the rest of the server. Furthermore, I do not believe it has any bearing on people's applications. Characters names at least somewhat matter since it gives people a frame of reference for the characters you have played and some might have seen around site... Civilian does not have the same allure or purpose.

I believe thats there so whoevers looking into your app can see if you act different on other characters.

Like you can be a golden child on your Foundation character but once you get on civilian you act like a right dickhead thats something that should be known

Real talk, remove (/update) the mic question from everything but staff apps, too - Or even just some further clarification about it. I feel like that one confuses/turns away people the most - I've been both an OSA and a GM, both of which "required mic," but... Really don't, in my experience. And there's a lot of other roles this needlessly applies to.

For the majority of players, needing to make an account and doing anything on the forums is already a huge no for them. I really don't understand Staff's continued and consistent recalcitrance on this matter. Accessibility is important for maintaining a healthy community and growth, but the intent with some of the way position accessibility is designed, as far as I can tell, is to just blatantly shoot themselves in the foot. There's a line between reasonable barrier to entry and whatever this is.

There's already a names field, no need for a separate one.

I like the application format being dumb.
It makes CN epic.

Suggestion Denied​

Hi @ArcherOfLegend,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

The content team feels like this change is not needed as application format changes are handled by the members of Senior Server Leadership and then confirmed by Network Leadership and the civilian name is there so people can see how you act across all characters you play

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
