How are you going to know if they are good? Someone's opinion? So if I have a personal problem with you and I talk to someone in an HNMLS about how wretched, and I get a couple of people to talk about you too. Is it going to matter much what you do? Or will your unearned reputation preceed you? You better believe your reputation will preceed you.
I have 4 people in my Dynamis shell right now that people warned me not to take, that they were selfish, would ***** us, and did their job poorly. They have all proven that that is simply untrue. Conversely, I have kicked people from the LS that had shining reputations and many of us thought would be tremendous assests, but became primadonas, arrogant asses, and worse to the point where half the LS hated them and we had to remove them.
The point is both groups had reputations that proved to be nearly polar OPPOSITES to their actions in the shell.
This is why DBSDynamis has a "you make your reputation with us, WITH US" policy. You make it elsewhere, you are at 0 when you join us. Good or bad. What you DO decides is you stay.
Doesn't sound very 'idealistic' to me. Sound practical.
