Thanks for the help! I have done a fair amount of recruiting in the FC's I was a member of and have concluded that there really is no good way to do it that does not aggravate some people you try to invite. I wanted to use a shout command because I am only interested in inviting players that enjoy greeting members when they come online and welcoming new members when they join and also enjoy participating in FC chat.

Based upon my (relatively new player) experience, roughly around 10 to 20 percent of random players joining an FC have any interest in doing this. The rest in general have little to no interest in participating in FC chat. A fair number never say anything at all, even when greeted. I want to weed those people out before inviting them.

I can do this by just stipulating, once anyone joins, that they will be booted if they are not interested in participating in FC chat and doing so to those who are completely uncommunicative.

The reason I am going thru the effort of creating an FC is because those people looking for a communicative environment were the ones leaving the FC's I was in because of a lack of participation in FC chat.
