Right now, the requirement for many staff applications are a certain number of "references".
I put "references" in quotes because they really aren't references. A reference would be more as to a staff saying a player that they should apply, without the player asking.
Furthermore, the "reference" brings about confusion. Players often place people as references because they showed them how to apply. As well, as can be seen by many appeals, they misinterpret the meaning of "reference".
Therefore, I suggest we change the name of "reference" to something else, such as "supporting staff" or others. This will help decrease the confusion in applications.
As well, do not say "there will still be someone who gets confused". There will always be someone who gets confused. The goal of this change is to not remove all confusion, but to help remove at least some. If it helps at all, why not?
Questions, comments, general disapproval of change?
