I too wonder sometimes. I think that some people just let little things get the best of them. I even do it sometimes. We all just need to take a chill pill.
When I'm caught violating the rules and guidelines, I'm not just disappointing the moderators or administrators on this site. The apples will be very ashamed of my poor behavior. Swearing, trolling, flaming, and going off-topic, that's not what apples do, nor do they like it.
I would like more ideas on how to promote my group. I am still far from completion (still over 30,000 TBT away from buying the group add-on). And I could only get up to 12 members as of now. I tried everything (bumping, changing my user title, and promoting it in my sig), but that's as high as I could go. What do you think is the problem? Is it that the ways I'm trying to promote it aren't effective enough, or do people not care about groups anymore? It bothers me that each time I'm trying to do something on this site (like collectible sales), it's very unpopular to the point where it's like almost nobody that wants it.
I do want the avatar height extension, but they only limited it to the staff as it's one of these decisions they are set in stone in. That, and they're not gonna accept applications if it were for the perks. Fortunately, I have valid reasons to sign up for. I have ideas for the site and events. That, and I dreamed of becoming a mod since my registration. If there was a perk I was after, it would be the blue username and not the avatar height extension or free animated collectibles for helping out at the fair.
Maybe we could try asking for artwork of our group, then all our members can display it in their signatures! People will want to check what all the fuss is about.
