Hehe, yes, the procedure is recruits should get the invites only after they get accepted to their division, so that the division relationship is established, and their squad assignment, initial information and introductory material is given to them by their division. I send out e-mails to everyone in a division's Command as soon as I approve the application, so that they know to get to the forum and post the acceptance as soon as they can.
If someone asks you to send an invite before they have been accepted, the procedure is to let the recruit know that we are waiting for their division to post the acceptance in the forum which should take no more than 24 hours from when their application was approved (as per the statement in my "Approval" notice).
After the recruit has been accepted to a division, then anyone that's available can send the invites, but usually their division is on top of the invites within minutes at that point. It is good form to let a division know you sent the invites, if you get to it before anyone in the recruit's division (so they don't waste time trying to send the invites).
In the event that a division fails to post an acceptance within 24 hours (very rare), another division can accept the recruit (in order of the recruit's division preference selection if preferences are answered in the application).
Yeah I acknowledge that I was in the wrong for this in retrospect, was trying to help the recruit, not poach poach them from Engineering. I apologize for my oversight, overstep and overzealous nature.
