New to Zelaron

If anyone else new had posted that shit, they'd been banned for spamming. Welcome.

welcome again. Khwii, welcome back. Your activity bar makes baby jesus cry.

Khwiii is too busy playing CoD4 24/7.

Not quite 24/7. I gotta work and sleep. Other then that, yep, you are right. Last time I attempted Halo, it was bad.... very bad.

Tynion: How can I possibly send people to a forum where they will be basically verbally abused


There goes our prospective co-operation and the possibility of gaining a siginificantly larger member base than what we have today. Oh well.

It's quite unfortunate that you went about it how you did.

Oh yes, I apologize for adding rules to the forum (which were subsequently broken), thinking it would be safe for Tynion to post here.

I'd just like to make a point on this, but first I need to put the original version which you edited for whatever reason.

This, essentially, shows exactly what I was talking about. You were planning this behind the backs of the members, but more importantly the staff. Not only that, but the guy came across as a businessman rather than a new member. His intentions are clearly shown in the conversation you had with him, but they are not clearly shown in his posts. All he wanted was to make money.

On top of that, the guy said "my magazine which I'm bringing to Zelaron" and you later replied with "Hey dude, I've read your magazine, excited for the next issue" as if you had no idea what he was talking about.

The guy came across as an asshat, not as a new member that was joining the community. He came across as an asshat because you did not let us know of his intentions. Keep blaming us for it, but the members are not the ones at fault here.

I won't. In re-reading, I have come to the conclusion that the "broken rules" were only borderline violations, but I admit that my own failure to inform the staff and members about our prospective co-operation with Tynion were the reason for things working out the way they did. I apologize for blaming you, members of Zelaron who felt blamed prior to the recent cancellation of my unjust blame toward you.

Of course, because no rules were arguably broken, perhaps Tynion was just unusually sensitive to our "unfriendly climate" or something to that extent. I don't expect that to change overnight, so our co-operation was likely doomed either way.

That being said, I would find it preferable for the introduction forum to carry a veil of friendliness at all times. After new members been properly lulled by our altruism, they can meander into cowboy wasteland at will for all I care.
