Video Demonstrating Addon: {http://youtu.be/4OYyIFQg1fg} [Outdated in 6.2.3]
1.0 General Overview - Guild Manager is an advanced guild management system for handling recruiting new players, removing inactive and undesirable players, promoting guild members, and distributing important information to guild members. Contained herein is a detailed outline of all features.
2.0 Recruitment - Recruitment is divided into two parts with three configuration interfaces.
2.1 Zone Recruitment - Zone Recruitment is a chat message that periodically gets broadcast to the zone that the character that is recruiting is currently in.
2.1.1 City Spam Enabled? - This setting when toggled on will treat each city as one and recruit in Trade chat.
2.1.2 Zone Spam Enabled? - This setting when toggled on will recruit in every other general zone.
2.1.3 Outdoor PVP Zones Enables? - This setting when toggled on will recruit in PvP zones such as Tol Barad, Wintergrasp, and Ashran.
2.1.4 Interval - This setting is a sliding scale from 15 minutes to 120 minutes. This setting how long the addon will wait before recruiting again in the same zone.
2.1.5 General Chat Message - This is the message that will be broadcast when recruiting. There is a 255 character limit.
2.1.6 City Channel Number - This is the number that your Trade Channel is currently. The default is 2.
2.1.7 Zone Channel Number - This is the channel of the zone you want to broadcast in. The default is 1 for General but can be any zone channel number.
2.2 Toon Recruitment - Toon Recruitment searches the Who list for individual un-guilded characters that meet the set criteria and invites them to your guild.
2.2.1 Run Who Search - A button that will begin to search for characters that meet the criteria. It will stop when manually stopped (See Stop in Invitation Control) or when it completes one cycle.

2.2.3 Launch IQ Controls? - A button that will open a submenu where you can manually configure who is in the Invite Queue.
2.2.3a The game does NOT allow an addon to invite individual characters on its own. The player MUST click a button for this to happen. Therefore the addon only adds these players to a list where they can be invited to the guild manually. Fortunately there is a semi-automatic method that this addon supports. You will need to create a macro and add the line - run GuildManager:InviteAction()- to it. You will then but that macro on your bars somewhere. IF you spam that button it will automatically add the people in your Invite Queue to the guild one by one. Alternatively if you use macros for your abilities you can add the above line of code to each macro and it will execute the Invite action even while in combat.
2.2.4 Target Specific Classes - When checked it will activate a list of checkboxes corresponding to the classes you want to recruit. If unchecked it will search for all classes.
2.2.5 Whisper Message - This is the message that you will send to individual players upon recruitment. There is a 255 character limit.

2.3.2 Member Maximum - This is the target number of members you wish to recruit.
