I can't help but think, if you're the one seeking members, then why should they have to bow to you and what you want? However, I have seen how the wrong member can get in and fleece a FC for everything they've got, so I kind of understand why they have these processes.
I suppose I don't see why that would be irritating. I think that sort of stuff is just to bring attention to their FC so that people know it's there to attempt to apply for it. It's advertising - and even businesses that are advertising open job slots will still require the potential new employee to come interview and show their skill sets if necessary.
I'd be personally more bothered by the FCs that invite anyone and everyone and use their bloated numbers as some sort of a status symbol. "We've got over 500 members!" Yay you.
^ It's an advertisement, and not an invitation to join. Similarly that if you see a product advertised on TV, you still have to go to the store and buy it, have the funds for it, etc. It can be difficult for FC's to get noticed or attract recruits, especially if they're newer or smaller, relatively unknown in the community, etc.
