What is your confusion about?

i think everyone is being ridiculous to get people to join so they know we are really just crazy and have no idea what we're doing half the time.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I don't know what I'm doing all the time.

Speak for yourself, I'm completely sane all the time.

Because everyone's all encouraging and like "hey everyone apply so you can become one of us yay!" Except we haven't voted anyone in in the past two months...but lol don't worry about that. And then everyone comes back around and is like "yay people have applied, now I can vote no and crush their dreams whoopee"

Well, there are usually reasons not to let someone in, but I think this time it'll happen. I'm feeling it!
Also, we've only had one app each month, the chances of someone getting in are smaller, I think.

I realize that people are trying to be funny but the encouragement seems insincere and the subsequent discouragement seems... well... discouraging.

I don't know about the others, but I'm being honest when I try to encourage people to apply. It's kinda hard to me to do it (even in Portuguese), but I try my best.
But I agree about the discouragement.

You personally don't seem insincere. We, as a group, seem insincere when you look at it as a whole.

That's because no one that's applied in the last 2 months has deserved the next rank for one reason or another.
There are guidelines. If people don't meet them, they don't get in. Simple as that.

You're only addressing half of what I'm saying, and when you only address the first half, but completely leave out the second half, it changes the context of what I said - however, I'll give my two cents on what you said anyway: There are prerequisites for being able to apply (which they meet by virtue of being able to apply in the first place), then there are the arbitrary whims of those who vote. It's not quite as simple as meeting the guidelines.
To expound my original point: Encouraging people to apply and then laughing about voting no is not funny.

Sorry. You're right.
It's really as simple as meeting the guidelines. I can't really go over the specifics of each app we've received but...we aren't unfair. Granted it's a huge circlejerk but there are enough members in Private where it isn't really a problem.
And come on. It's lighthearted humor. If our sense of humor deters people from applying, then they shouldn't apply to begin with.
It only gets worse when they see how we act when no one is looking.

It does, and they don't Just saiyan
I'm all for lighthearted humor but I don't think people realize that some members put a lot of effort into appling for private and for it to be made into a joke can make people feel futile and shitty

*shrug*
Again, the only way I can refute what you're saying is by getting into specifics about applications we've received. I dunno if I can do that.
Edit: even if I spoke broadly...meh

I agree. Applying for something and knowing that a bunch of people will be 'judging' you can be scary. Let's not make that fear any worse lol

I don't think that what I'm saying really warrants refuting. I'm not asking private to defend the choices they make in promoting people.

Y'all are gonna end up owning a taco franchise and trying to take over the world and Nymh is going to have to foil the plot.
OH GOD THE MOVIE IS SO OLD I FEEL DEPRESSED NOW.

Kim Possible taught me to avoid drama.

And the show ended almost 8 years ago

It was via Kim Possible I found out about Rule34 and learned RegEx.
