Please take as many as you like! They're free!

You need to know someone in that group so that person can invite you. Forever alone? If so then you probably don't hang out in groups.

Yay, a question mark giveaway! Can I have one. How many points do I need to enter. And, thinking about it, do you think I could take at least three of them.

Check out people's profiles. Make friends with them use your social skills. Just hook up with people and stay with them and eventually you will swim in private groups.

I encourage you not to. Some private groups haze people who want to join their group.

Best in the world and you can't get into a group, huh? I guess you should get ready for some clobberin' time.

I joined a private group once. Everything was great for a while until it became clear that they were a Rogue Warrior-worshipping cult. I managed to get out, but some were not so lucky.

Seems reasonable, I guess. I am mostly drawn by the promise of no EA on my computer. I'm ready to be re-initiated into your private group(s).

Make it so!

His point is that if their going to let you into a private group they probably want some indication you're be a positive addition.

No gifts equates to solely leaching from the system right now. Far more entries then comments implies your not even taking the time to thank the gifters. With only 5 days behind you, you have no positive track record as yet. As far as your english is concerned some people may prefer members who can clearly articulate their thoughts in the most broadly spoken language in the group.

No I'm not. I agree with most of what he said, but not speaking english well enough is kind of a silly reason to exclude someone from a group, imo

This isn't simply about joining the private community. All of us here in S. Gifters or BBF group are active members in chat and we often discuss new releases, gaming industry or any other interesting topics. And that includes some decent amount of english otherwise you're going nowhere

I wouldn't consider my english sensible half the time. Silly if anything I suppose.

Okay so here's what it comes down to. I have 33% more comments than entries, and I have 100000000% more gifts given than won. I am a fluent speaker of english and am actually university educated. Not only am I well informed on the gaming industry, reading industry news on a daily basis, I am also a student of video game design and development who is working on an indie game which may one day see a Steam release.

Am I good enough for any elite private member groups yet?

You're attitude isn't really helping you out too well. If you want to make people look like assholes go ahead. I've said this to a user who had a similar attitude like yours and eventually got him in trouble; You won't get far with that attitude here.

Thanks for the threat. I guess I'll just quiet down now.

I don't exactly understand what you mean by my attitude, I was making a legitimate inquiry.

Right, It wasn't a threat it was a legitimate note about how you're sort of coming off.

Okay fine, veiled threat then.

So I apologize if I came off like I was being overly critical. To my eyes it looked like people were just being elitist and exclusionary, but then when Xarabas clearly and thoughtfully explained the situation to me, I came to realise the error of my ways. It's not that you're excluding people, its that you only invite those who are contributing members of the website. It's not that people need to qualify to some standard of english ability, it's that you have tons of awesome discussion. Thus, realising the error of my ways I decided to post a resume in hopes of qualifying for one of said private groups. Or at least thats how I felt, its hard to convey exact things through computer typing across internets.

I'm going to remove the requirement for group and instead eventually just have a requirement based on say maybe users with a good ratio of entries and comments since it's just easier-ish but then the group will get swarmed in with ppl who may have just spammed so eh and that may not be a while til the holidays are here.

For god's sake there is no threat. jesus. Enough with the fake threats.

That actually sounds pretty awesome. I understand completely though if I never see the inside of one of those groups. I mean, making criticisms usually doesn't help in making friends.

The trouble is that I was hoping for some sort of karma based system to be on the site around now so I could just use that instead of requiring a contributed value.

I'm not sure if I'd be fully in favour of a karma system. Too many times have I seen people make perfectly reasonable criticisms in polite and well mannered ways, only to get thumbed down by people who just happen to disagree with them.

With that attitude, no. As one of the mods of BBF, I think I would rather you stay out of my group. Thank you.

Looks like you must meet some requirements to join private groups. I guess each one of them have their specific rules to join, so why don't you read those rules or talk to the admin of the group you're interested in being part?

Well for 2 of them you have to have given away $75+ in games. So he'd need to start giving stuff out.
