Hi all,
I just want to say that I went over the WC and read about 22 pages in the Cafe about how they are closing at the end of the year. It is indeed sad. I hadn't been there in like a year, so it was kind surreal to be there.
I saw a little bit of misinformation about this forum in regards to people signing up.
It is true that there are only a couple of people (moderators) here approving members as they try to join. We are doing it manually and it takes time depending on whether or not we are online. We have to do it this way because there are a lot of spammers that try to join.
Also, some mistakes can be made by some of us and accidentally disapprove a legitimate account, in which case, that will have to be fixed. That may take a few hours, depending on if I'm online. I'm just one person. Sometimes there are also glitches in the system as well as human mistakes.
Some people have spoken out about some of these problems on Wet Canvas. That is fine, but it's not true that I am banning anyone. It's just that we are a small operation and I hope the new people can bear with us at this time.
Thank you and I hope we can grow this community and get more moderators in time.
Warmest wishes,
Ayin (Artyczar)
