I have no idea what you're going on about, dedalos. I thought your first few posts were jokes, as if there really is some secret ritual or rite of passage. If you don't write using sarcasm, people have a better chance of understanding what you're trying to say.
Just to clarify a few things:
1. There are no secret requirements.
2. The old method of selecting new people was done by trainers nominating people they thought would be good trainers, then everyone discussed the positives and negatives of the skills and demeanor of the people nominated. Then, a decision was made. Nothing sinister and no secrets.
3. I'm taking this route because I'd like to see who's motivated, and I'm sure there are some motivated and qualified people that I don't know personally from the game. I'm going to have an interview process, which has not been done before.
4. Since you have not sent me a PM to volunteer your time and energy, I don't understand how this thread affects you, or what right you think you have to criticize this process.
I don't have the time or motivation to go back and forth on this anymore.
