Just what screen0r said, i haven't even asked any Leaders for approval yet. Im gonna hang around for a while.
Why would you ask to join then? Wouldn't it be a better idea to get the leaders approval before you requested to join? And before you did that, wouldn't it be a good idea to stay active on the forums?
Lets leave this to him, and the leaders, he does it his way, the leaders/members will decide. It doesn't hurt to ask to be watched a bit. He's not from...our country...ok, not even our hemisphere..or even on the same side of the equator. His cultures might be different, then revolving around what his attitude/opinion of what being rude etc. is based on.
Like I said, you've got to look at it from different aspects. Not siding with anyone on this, just explaining some things.
