Title: One person squads
Post by: A8TOOL on September 05, 2007, 02:12:25 PM: I noticed there's quite a few squads that aren't squads at all. It seems a squad should consist of at least 3 members although I can understand 2 being a minimum because 2 guys could easily become 3 or 4 if they wanted. Two guy squads could be required to become at least 3 guy squads over a certain period of time to maintain a squad status. That Idea might not stick BUT........

ONE GUY IS NOT A SQUAD and all one guy squads should be taken off the roster IMO.

What do you think

It seems it would be easy to moderate and take little time.

Yeah, I guess so sorry

Shoulda just asked , does 1 person constitute a squad or something.

Was with the Marine Air Wing from 98 to 02. Came back in June and found another base taking squad to fly with. Wasn't like riding a bike, thats for sure.

Yep, that would suck

What we really need is a new dot command to stop that from happening.

someone said .showjoin works only for gunner join requests, not squad pop ups.
