All Aboard the Friendship Express

So, here's what a lot of people have been waiting for: we're going to start adding new ponies to the clan. The basics are after the jump.
So, we've had some issues with activity and with conduct with a few members, leading us to where we are today. So, this time around, we'd like to make a few statements up front. If the bold statements make sense, don't worry about reading the explanation too closely.

• No racism, please. You might hear a few Chinese jokes getting thrown around, but don't think that's license to start hollering about how we need flamethrowers to defeat the [JEWZ] clan - some of us are actually Chinese. If there is any doubt about whether what you're saying applies to you, yourself, personally, and that you understand why a particular minority group might feel threatened by privileged groups spouting slurs, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

•  Please, don't be a weirdo. This is a show for kids about candy-colored ponies. We don't need to hear about your weird sexual fetishes. We prefer not to hear about your voyeuristic fantasies re: the ponies own sexual orientations. We don't want to hear about pony serial murders, and likewise for your personal grooming habits, etc. It kills me a little inside that this even needs to be said, but here we are, internet.

• Please make at least some effort to play with other people in the clan. This isn't hard; it's like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon kind of shit. If, when we look at the clan roster, you haven't played in at least a week and a half, and nobody we know knows your name, it's not clear what kind of social relationship anybody has to you.

•  Please, please, have some insight. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Just... don't make us feel like this.

So here's how to join: It's very simple: if these things sound like you, get an endorsement from anyone who is already in the clan. That means play with somebody and get along well. Mars, John, and I will make an effort to play with people who want to join, and Mars, obviously, has the final say on everything. I look forward to seeing some new faces!
