ENROLLMENT IS CLOSED

If you are not in the list that I posted a few days ago, have not been approved for posting at fandomhigh directly by principalconnor you DO NOT belong here and will be forcibly removed. Enrollment is closed at this time and unless you are an approved player, you may not post in the various fandomhigh communities or in the individual player journals. Period. Full stop.

There have been several instances of people who do not belong to this game reported to me. Unless and until enrollment is opened again and your character is personally approved by principalconnor, you may not post here. Period. In light of attracting people who have not read the rules and are showing up with duplicates of existing characters, something which is also strictly against the rules, I am also closing fandomtownies to membership until principalconnor gets back.

Only principalconnor can approve new students.

jerusalem_s is the right hand of God here, people, and what he says goes.

No one, and I mean NO ONE else is authorized to do anything when it comes to student/teacher/townie permissions.

This may eventually change but, as of right now, it's just the two of us... and I know damn well she hasn't approved anyone except our new webmaster in quite some time.

If this persists, everyone here should have these people friended and we will allow 'friends only' posts until the intruders desist.

Please be polite, but inform non-members that they cannot play here without first waiting for open enrollment and then being approved directly by principalconnor.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, the tone of this one was due to multiple complaints and a few lovely side issues of people who cannot or will not take no for an answer.

For the tone, I can only partly apologize. I really, really do not like being walked across the top of after two weeks of mad scrambling and not really being able to actually play myself. It is doubly upsetting after knocking myself out trying to see to it that each and every player request and concern that hits my inbox is personally addressed.

The admins are trying, but it's a little bit disconcerting to find that unless you do speak very clearly and loudly, there are people who will tell you that you're just not trying hard enough or that you can't possibly really mean it.

I'm trying not to post anything when stressed out or upset, but the constant push-push-push after several public notices of 'No, you can't do that' is going to end up leaving me with very little else in the way of moods to deal with.

Which unfortunately leads to rather harsher than necessary sounding posts.

If I were angry... there would be heads rolling about the place. I'm just getting very, very sick of putting every second of my spare time into listening to player requests, trying to grant them or at least find middle ground, and then getting my head kicked in for not having produced a perfect utopia. It's simply easier to couch it in terms that, hopefully, no one can misunderstand or put their own spin on, and moving on.

I know that I, for one, appreciate all the hard work that you and the other admins have put into this place. I also want to thank you for addressing my own player issue the other day. It was very much appreciated.

This is my first RP, and I've had a lot of fun here, even without much interaction with other players. I hope to remedy this soon, but it's actually quite hard because my character isn't exactly an outgoing, fun person. We'll see how things develop. That's part of the fun. :)
