This is a message from SlashFirestorm:
Bad news, everyone. Got a three-day ban for posting in a destroyed spam thread, bleh.
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, I'VE MADE MY MISTAKES, SHOULDN'T HAVE POSTED IN GENERAL, LIFE GOES OOOOON
In the event of a recruitment request from someone of appropriate status (Private+, no garbage whistle), please copy/paste the following to them. I'll be watching the thread and make the appropriate discussion thread in the forums.
If anyone needs to talk to me, hit me up on PM or my blog.

Welcome to the Barracks! Let me explain how the recruitment process works.
Currently you are in "Standby Status" while your case is considered. During this process, the current Barracks members will take a look at your record---posting quality, review history/quality, flash record, etc---and see if there are any problems.
Don't worry, we're not too strict about these things; we just want to make sure that you have a decent posting record (not too many one-liners and no flaming/spamming), don't make abusive reviews or rulebreaking flash, etc...
After a period of discussion amongst the Barracks members, our Recruitment Officer SlashFirestorm (or his superiors) will make the final call. Assuming that no objections are raised, this Standby Status should only last approximately 24 hours. SlashFirestorm will PM you with the final verdict.
