For.
Not everything has to be spread around the world.
Like discussing applications, if we say everything just in the apply thread, then applicants sometimes try to change theirselfes just for a short time to get it.
If we'd be discussing them in our board, we can all give our oppinions, and at the end Ele or zelda or someone will tell the applicant he has been accepted or denied, if denied he will give the main reasons and such, which would be better for him I think, and would prevent us from getting idiots in the clan who act like gentlemen during their trial times.
Would probably work exactly the same on trial members, only difference is that we don't discuss trial members at all right now.
And there could ofcours be discussions in the future which only matters to us.
