So who in your little group decides who gets excluded?? who decides who is acting the way they like. If you ignore all facts and seriously approve of all current staff you will get a special pin? Seriously this sounds like another " clique". I play a few online games and never seen the need for anyone to form a group like this. How is this going to end the drama going around?
First off, Like GuardGirl said, the pin is unnecessary at this point. I have no special opinion what happens to the pin. It holds good and bad memories for me. Fake Skye is the reason I've made many of my friends on here, but her deceit will be tough to forgive.
No one gets excluded from joining. NO ONE! Have you been banned? You're welcome. Do think you are a nobody? You are still welcome! Are you opinionated and don't agree with the staff? You are still welcome! A majority vote to be the strongest decision maker, stronger than any staff opinion.
The 'exclusion' comes from the idea that we want everyone to be nice, friendly players. If you start swearing someone out in game, (which I have seen a lot lately), then maybe being a member of a group focused on kindness isn't for you. If you're willing to try to be a nicer person, no matter what your starting point is, you are still welcome.
Our goal is not to be a clique, but to be a team that helps to make MyVMK a happier place for EVERYONE, no matter who you are or what you think of us. Our goal is to hold events to bring people together. We are not MyVMK staff. There is no reward for anything we decide to do, other than the friendships we make. We just want to have family friendly games and environments for everyone.
This may not stop the drama, but I truly don't think it will feed it either. I feel like this is worth a shot, just to improve the atmosphere, even if it's just for one person.
To MIM members and those wanting to continue this conversation, I move that we take any discussion to the MIM Squad forum under the "General" forum.
Thank you, Jen
