A real joker Membership application

Post by bringoutyourdead »

In spite of the application stating:

'Items marked with a * are required unless stated otherwise.' {at the very top}

and

'Location: *
City State Country or your local equivilent' {oops spelling error on that last word.}

I got notified about an application where

Location was "Arthas, Draenor, Silver Hand"

and a signature note "I tried to register about 20 times before I realized that the Location field is required."

Now maybe the person has a poor grasp of English which would explain the odd ball information.. oh wait the IP shows the location of near central Texas, USA.

So I guess it must have been a joke.
Too bad my funny bone has been pulverized and burned to ashes.

It is really very simple folks.. If you want a membership account here, you need to do the very little requested of you, to help differentiate you from the spammers and other bad actors.

An no the application was not accepted.

At the risk of insulting some people, my experience tells me, Americans are often worse than others to read and understand English instructions..
Doing census mainly on Draenor; Raluf - Nimsay - Lusmo - Quixx - Sosyan - Garthog - Trubin - Zalistra - Zesmi and Djaang

Well to tell the truth there was a very subtle poke at Texans...
