Random question for all, but especially targetted towards the more experienced players who have probably dealt with this before....
What do you deem appropriate tactics in recruiting coaches and trying to expand the humans in a conference? Do you leave it to the forums? Friends? PM's? Is it ok to post a general message on other conferences message boards?
A situation has arisen in D3 Knight which has taken me completely by surprise. I am part of a very active, fun, and competitive conference. 6 coaches, 4 of which are long-term, the other two plan on being around a while, and have an annual challenge with one of the other top conferences in the world. One of the other coaches took it upon himself to post a general message to a handful of conferences that were either less competitive and/or had few humans. Just a "Hello, we'd love to have you over here if you're looking for a change" kind of deal, trying to get another coach or two in on the fun. He avoided the forum because very few read it, especially the world version.
Just about everyone had no issue, but one coach in particular has taken great offense and took it upon himself to throw quite a fit.
My question to you all is: Is this inappropriate? Should this be avoided in the future? Or is this an acceptable method to try and gain coaches into a conference?
