Limit Applicants Based On Account Age

[Bеаn]

Suggestion Name: Limit Applicants Based On Account Age
Suggestion Description: Some VTCs may prefer to allow older, more experienced accounts to apply for their VTC. Something along the lines of you can only join x if your account is over y years old. 
Any Example Images: https://prnt.sc/KxuuJ7qvhz9c
Why should It Be Added: There're some VTCs out there that may wish for such a feature. It'd be somewhat similar to the account age requirement for team recruitment. It may also stop VTC hoppers, hopping from VTC to VTC, if there's a minimum account age.

Nice suggestion

Introducing an age requirement for joining VTCs, where only older (and more experienced) accounts are eligible, can be a good idea.

This helps build a community of committed players, as older accounts often indicate a stronger dedication to the simulation, creating a more knowledgeable and cohesive group within the VTC.

Account age, not actual age

I consider this proposal positive. In order to build a better VTC system, I hope the above problems are improved!

What's to stop an applicant from just racking up the required account age?

Then they'll be eligible? Same with the recruitment system.

Idk. Age seems like a bad factor to determine membership. Personally, i'd rather they demonstrate applied knowledge.

Typically, account age and knowledge come hand in hand. The whole point of this suggestion is as a screening mechanism—a roadblock to block new accounts if new accounts aren't something that appeals to VTCs. From my managerial experience across numerous VTCs, I can say that typically, trolls tend to use newish accounts—thus making this a viable defence mechanism.

Also, for the recruitment system, accounts must be at least 12 months old before they can apply. This requirement seems to satisfy TruckersMP Management in such a way that they'll happily hire people with said account age. Therefore, I can't see why the same principle can't be carried over to VTCs.
