Just as Tenacious said, I want to apologize on behalf of GWA. We have had a surge of members joining our community and were excited about the increased interest. The problem is, we did not take necessary precautions in selecting which members should receive admin.
I would like you all to know that we have already been working on changing and formalizing rules and expectations for our members. We are trying to make sure that we can run this ship as tightly as possible. We understand that we have made some mistakes, but are working on preventing them in the future. I apologize for the pain in the ass you have had to deal with as a result of this.
Also, I know a lot of you have been getting grief from some of the newer GWA recruits. I have been trying to quell this down every time I see hostility. They do not all understand that we value our longstanding, loyal regular members of the server just as much as we value our paying members. I think there has been some confusion as to some of our donors thinking that giving the clan money makes them god. I know some of them are jealous of your playing ability. I hope our members can at least just try to practice, get better, and compete with you guys -- instead of calling you hackers or other names.
I'm kind of getting off target...
Anyways, we are sorry for any hostility any of you have received from GWA. Please do not accept that as a clan standard. I personally appreciate playing with you guys. Frankly, if we lose you, we lose a huge piece of competition. And the only way you get better is by playing a better opponent.
Feel welcome to play in our server or post on our boards as well. I enjoy having you all around, and I know that I can speak on behalf of our Council members by saying that we cherish you as members of our community.
Maybe we could get a friendly scrim together sometime soon?
Hope there are no hard feelings,
-Poppins
