In regards to applications

Hey Guys,
Since there has been a lot of confusion from many people over how recruiting goes, I might as well clear this up.
I make the final recruiting decisions
This is not to say that it is a dictatorship. I have and always will be open to being overrided with a vote of the community for any decision made, recruiting or otherwise.
There is indeed another forum I made for the active players of the siege servers after having a talk with Magyk. This is because I realized that there might be a difference in opinions and thought process between active members of the community vs active players of the servers, a subset of the community. With the separate forum I can quickly collect focused information from each party as necessary. They do not make final decisions nor have any more say than the rest of the community.
Tensor and I made reviving siege to aggregate all of siege's resources together and create a united front in keeping our favorite gametype alive. This ranges from our creative resources like J3rk or Magyk, to our raw skill resources like Chew or Tensor, to our dedicated participants like Ramshi or Xeon. To this end I seek to allow everyone into our community so we can grow out as much as possible as I think everyone has the potential to find a place in this community.
That being said, there is one valid point to take away from what Magyk has been saying, and I don't think Magyk did the best job of communicating his concern to you, so allow me to reword and summarize for you guys (no offense Magyk). Since our goal is to attract more people to the community, we need to think about who is representing the community in our pub server, because that is what will make people inclined to come to the website and come to pug. Correct me if I am wrong, but all he asks is to consider that when evaluating applicants. We don't want to blindly accept one applicant if he might drive off 5 more future applicants telling everyone to "get on their knees" while playing the server.
Anyways, I hope that cleared things up. Whenever a new application is made, I would like you guys to keep posting information on whether or not you feel an applicant should be allowed in, and I assure you that everything said will be considered when I make the final decision.
