But at the same time, it could get too disorganized, but maybe that's just me.

See, if everybody becomes an Insider Agent, we just accept applications for Outsider Insider Agents, which simply put are Agents. By jolting the system, we'd restore balance and harmony

So what's the procedure again? You send a paragraph either to Danielle or Chad explaining why you'd like to become an Insider Agent?

We will cap members and stop accepting applications, yes. It gets hard to manage large groups of volunteers.

We will be taking applications up until 11:59pm on Friday July 10th. After that time all applicants will be put on a wait list.

We are implementing a system where new applicants go through a process to become "Jr Agents" and can be promoted to "Sr Agents". There are expectations and requirements being put into place for those who's application we accepted, and those meeting them will be promoted to official 'Jr. Insider Agent' status, and those who do not meet them will be switched back to Regular users. So it isn't just a free pass to becoming a member of the Agent Team, you have to work to maintain the title.
