Public Service Announcement 01: To members and people who want to join + folks who are rejected
This post is public because the mod has been receiving a bloody lot of PMs about:
(A) membership,
(B) what this comm does/doesn't provide.
These issues will be discussed individually below.
FURTHER EXPLANATION ON THE RULES AND WHY YOU ARE REJECTED
The mod has been getting many PMs saying, "I have been rejected and/or banned unfairly. You are elitist/anal/rude/unjust, etc." When you are rejected, it is due to one of these scenarios:
1a) You clicked join WITHOUT writing any comment. The mod told you what you did wrong, saying that you have 24hrs to correct your mistake. The mod did this in comments and PMs. You did not heed any of these warning comments or PMs. You were rejected when your 24 hrs were up.
1b) After you were told that there is an application procedure to follow and that clicking join is ONLY THE LAST STEP, you still didn't make any effort to write an application comment. Instead, you ignored the mod's comments and PMs. Instead, you just clicked join again for each time you were rejected. You will always be rejected no matter how times you do this. After three times of this behaviour, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
2a) You clicked join and your comment was only something like, "I read your rules and I will follow them." It was stated clearly in many places that you must write out your agreement to adhere to the 2 sets of rules IN YOUR OWN WORDS. The mod told you what you did wrong, saying that you have 24hrs to correct your mistake. The mod did this in comments and PMs. You did not heed any of these warning comments or PMs. You were rejected when your 24 hrs were up.
2b) During your next joining attempt, you did the exact same thing instead of following instructions. You are rejected again. You keep trying to join this comm, but you keep doing the same thing and making the same mistake no matter how times the mod told you what you did wrong. After three times of this, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
3a) You wrote a comment according to the instructions WITHOUT clicking join. It was stated clearly many times that clicking join is the last step in the application procedure. It was also stated clearly that not doing this last step will result in an automatic rejection. The mod sent you PMs/comments telling you what you did wrong and telling you to try again by following the procedure to the letter.
3b) During your next joining attempt, you did the exact same thing instead of following instructions. You are rejected again. You keep trying to join this comm, but you keep doing the same thing and making the same mistake no matter how times the mod told you what you did wrong. After three times of this, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
4a) You wrote a comment WITHOUT clicking join and you DID NOT heed the mod's instruction that you had a 24 hour grace period to click the join button. Reminders in comments and PMs were sent to you to tell you that have 24hrs to click the join button. You ignored all the mod's PMs and comments on the matter. You were rejected when your 24 hrs were up.
4b) During your next joining attempt, you did the exact same thing instead of following instructions. You are rejected again. You keep trying to join this comm, but you keep doing the same thing and making the same mistake no matter how times the mod told you what you did wrong. After three times of this, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
5a) You wrote a comment WITHOUT clicking join and you DID NOT accept the mod's invitation to join the comm within 24 hour grace period. Reminders in comments and PMs were sent to you to tell you that you have 24hrs to accept the invite to the comm. You ignored all the mod's PMs and comments on the matter. You were rejected when your 24 hrs were up.
5b) During your next joining attempt, you did the exact same thing instead of following instructions. You are rejected again. You keep trying to join this comm, but you keep doing the same thing and making the same mistake no matter how times the mod told you what you did wrong. After three times of this, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
6a) You clicked join and you only said in your own words you will follow the mod's rules. You must also agree to follow Tronella's rules and state them in your own words. The mod told you what you did wrong in comments/PMs, saying that you have 24hrs to correct your mistake. The mod did this in comments and PMs. You did not heed any of these warning comments or PMs. You were rejected when your 24 hrs were up.
6b) During your next joining attempt, you did the exact same thing instead of following instructions. You are rejected again. You keep trying to join this comm, but you keep doing the same thing and making the same mistake no matter how times the mod told you what you did wrong. After three times of this, you are rejected and banned. This is stated in the rules.
7a) You clicked join and you only said in your own words you will follow Tronella's rules. You must also agree to follow the mod's rules and state them in your own words. The mod told you what you did wrong in comments/PMs, saying that you have 24hrs to correct your mistake.

Although the mod maintains that all the above have been stated in the rules, she still gets PMs saying that these things are not stated and/or not made clear. Here is pictorial proof that these things are stated very clearly TWICE in the rules post.

MORE CLARIFICATIONS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH PRIVATE MESSAGES ABOUT FILES AND WHAT THIS COMM PROVIDES
Because of many PMs asking questions about the comm, files, hardsubs, softsubs and links etc, please read the rules carefully and make sure you understand them. The rules already tell you what is provided, when they will be provided, how they will be provided, and what will NEVER EVER be in this comm. You already read both the mod's rules and Tronella's rules, and agreed to follow them by writing them out in your own words as part of your application to join this comm. For more information on what's what, read the member-locked FAQ AFTER you have become a member.
Because people don't read and/or refuse to understand things, the mod stresses that you MUST read the rules and FAQ, you must understand what is written in those two places, and you must accept the things written in those two places. You shouldn't do any of the things below because they have been explained in the public rules post AND the member-locked FAQ post.
To be clear, please remember these things:
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for this comm to move to LJ.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for this comm to be mirrored on LJ.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for posts in this comm to be public.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for this comm to be open to everyone.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for reups from the mod.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments Mega/MF/4s/GD links from the mod.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for HQ files from the mod.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for the mod to stop making MQ and only make HQ.
- Do not ask in PMs or comments for the HQ/MQ to be bigger in size and/or higher in resolution.
- Do not PM the mod to say that the resolution of the MQ hardsubs is not of sufficiently high quality to suit you.
- Do not PM the mod to say that any of the hardsubs are of such low resolution and/or poor quality that they completely spoilt your viewing pleasure of the drama.
- Do not PM or ask any member of this comm to make mirrors for you.
- Do not PM or ask any member of this comm to make HQ hardsubs for you.
- Do not PM the mod to say that files you download here have "stupid names" or "names that don't make sense" etc
- Do not send PMs to the mod saying that it is inconvenient for you to rename the file in the way that you want because the mod's file naming is "weird".
- Do not PM the mod to ask "I applied to join 1 sec/min/hour/week ago, I followed all instructions and I clicked join, but why am I still not a member".
- Do not PM the mod to ask "Black Pean episode X just finished airing in Japan 1 sec/min/hour/week/month ago, where are the raws/softsubs/hardsubs?"
- Do not PM the mod to ask "Black Pean episode X's softsubs has been released by Tronella 1 sec/min/hour/week/month ago, where are the hardsubs?"
- Do not ask the mod to give you links to Black Pean raws, Black Pean promo raws or any other raw/subbed Arashi stuff.
- Do not ask for this comm to provide you with Black Pean raws, Black Pean promo raws or any other raw/subbed Arashi files.
- Do not PM the mod to code the download links into hyperlinks because it will be "prettier" and "easier" on your eyes. Accept that download links are given "as is".
- Do not send the mod angry PMs when you get messages and comments telling you what you did wrong in your joining application/request, and telling you that you must make another application according to all the steps of the joining procedure or you will be rejected again.
- Do not send the mod angry PMs when you get messages and comments that you have been rejected and banned because you repeatedly did things wrong in your application THRICE, despite all the mod's warnings on what you did wrong and how you can do things correctly.
- Do not send the mod angry PMs that is unfair for you write out the mod's rules in your own words because you think you are right in only agreeing to follow Tronella's rules since the mod is not the "real subber".
- Do not send the mod angry PMs when you get messages and comments that you must also write out your agreement to follow the mod's rules in your own words.
- Do not say that because the mod is not the real subber, her rules are not important and that's why you don't have to agree to them.
- Do NOT say that because you only agreed to follow Tronella's rules (since she is the real subber) and not the mod's TLDR rules, you are "allowed" to ignore the mod's rules and that's why you think you have "the right" to pester/harass the mod about anything listed above.
If I still get PMs on ANY of those 2 sets of issues listed above, you will be banned from this comm and you will be blocked from joining this comm.
If you persist in sending me more PMs complaining that you have been rejected for the Nth time, complaining that you have been banned unfairly, complaining about the unfairness of what this comm provides/doesn't provide, complaining about how this comm provides files, complaining about when this comm provides files, I will name you and your demands publicly in this comm in an open post.
(A) membership,
(B) what this comm does/doesn't provide.
These issues will be discussed individually below.
