For those applying the recruitment process is what they see of your FC, and I think it is better to make that a more positive representation of who you are not a negative one.
I'm not saying don't screen, I'm saying don't make recruitment only about screening people out.
And considering the viewpoint of any guild serious and concerned enough to have a stringent application, the types of people they want to attract are people who understand why the application is in place if not appreciate it, who are serious about joining this guild and willing to put time and effort into the application process. I mean, what you're saying isn't wrong, I'm just not sure why it needs said since I've never seen a guild application basically say "lol we gotta make sure you don't suck."
