Title: Letter of Resignation
Post by: PvS Mason on September 28, 2012, 10:29:09
Dear Consentus.

After tonight, it shows...

People in this clan are not fond nor open to newer people.
That's fine. They don't want to clan to grow.
I cannot take this anymore.
I will not take part in a Clan that treats me as if I am the bottom of the feeding pit.
I attempt to be nice, and make friends, even spread my diva ways, but yet.. I am still treated in ways in which I can say make me feel very disrespected.

A comment was even made saying, "You've only been here like a day.", after confusing my new display name for a newer player. FYI; I have been a memeber of CTS for 4 months.
This was over a joke I said. (Just because we don't have the same sense of humor, leaves no grounds for you to be rude.)
This shows that Newer Members are targeted and "bullied" in some sort.
I am not for this.
We are all old enough and good enough people to not have to go through this.

Tonight was my last straw, and I am hereby presenting my Letter of Resignation, and cutting all the ties with Consentus as far as my membership in the clan goes.
I will remain clan less until I find a clan that accepts me and newer members.
Unlike this one.

Just a tip of advice if you guys really want this clan to thrive, be friendly.
Don't give the sarcastic "Welcome to Consentus" and then treat the newer people like dirt.
That's what you guys are doing as of now, and you are just shoo'ing people away.

An Ex-Member of Consentus, who's worried about the whether this clan will contiune to thrive,
Mas(s)on

You've been here since May. May - Sept is 4 months.


Goodbye hope you find a clan that 'welcome' newer members.

Bye, to earn respect, give respect.

There are hundreds of members in this clan, do you realise how hard it is to keep track of every name change that happens?

When you spoke down to me, I instantly jumped on you, assuming you were new and I'm sorry. Being spoken down to by somebody who doesn't even know you, when you've done nothing to them is not a nice thing at all. Even what you said was a complete misrepresentation of the person I am, and I was kind of angered, so I bit back.

Good luck finding a new clan.

I was not talking down to you.
It was not necessary to "bite" back , or for the others to jump in and make comments towards me.

Also, all I have done for the past 4 months was respect everyone in this clan.
Stating that, if I hadn't earned respect yet. Then, I was never going to earn it, obviously.

Well, that's your opinion and I respect it.
If you can't respect someone, don't expect it back. It's a two way street.

So I'm just expected to take shit and let people walk all over me?

Name changes ingame are hard to follow, sometimes you forget who they are and you don't realise who they actually are until somebody points it out. For example, Dan and Alex changed their usernames many times and I can never keep up ;P

I understand that people get confused with usernames.
That's not the point I am making.
Everyone thought I was a newer member, therefore...
I was "targeted" in some sense.
Just because I seem to be a "newer" member, doesn't mean you can speak to me in all kinds of ways.

Well, that's your opinion and I respect it.

So I'm just expected to take shit and let people walk all over me?

I'm not saying that. You just did not have to respond with such severity.
All that was needed to be said was "Oh, That's not me"
Instead, you decide to throw every ounce of passion behind one joke.
I'm not for that. These petty games being played are for the birds.
Seeing your high-rank, I would have expected you to handle the situation in a more... mature way.
Is it wrong of me to expect less? No.

maybe he felt that you were talking down to him.

maybe that is similiar to how you are feeling now.

feelings are tricky.

Understandable. Also, this has nothing to do with those who constantly made an effort to take me in. Just those with the attitude of being better than others, and treating others as if they are, for lack of better words, nothing.

The clan is growing very rapidly, and can't expect everyone to know everyone.

It took me a while to get to know everyone in this clan, and at that time, it was considerably less people than at the moment. Recently, there have been many new additions to the clan, which is fantastic. I go in the clan chat and realise there is around 80% of people that I actually don't know.

Being active in the game sometimes doesn't make you well known in the clan, participating in events and joining in conversations does. Some conversations in the clan chat don't get very far because many who play this game love to afk at the same time. Posting on the forums goes further, and I say it does help in getting you known in the clan as many of the older members post here everyday.

I only got 'noticed' when I got a wee kick from Lilly to post on the forums more and engage in the clan chat more often. It was till around 5 months that a select number of members knew me. I was still considered new when I joined the forums in March, even though I joined the clan 3 months ish beforehand.

Newer members will probably see a different side to people, only because you can't just throw your personality at them instantly, you have to break them in slowly. For example, if I was my normal ways to a new member, it could make them feel uncomfortable :o

Very well, put.
It's just that.. This clan doesn't have the "family" feel to it like it's supposed to.
Title: Re: Letter of Resignation
Post by: Greg on September 28, 2012, 11:08:55
A smaller family will always be closer than a larger one.

We have lost a few members who were active and close to the clan. However, we have the new generation if you will that are coming up. I am sure the family feeling will be back in time once we the 'newborns' (my term for them ;D) engage with us a lot more in events, chat and on the forums. I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know some of them, only because they brought themselves forward everytime I saw them. Popsicle who just recently left I used to talk to via PM all the time when he was on.

There is no doubt that at the moment the family feel is not as it was before. You have to consider the vast amount of new recruits that have arrived. Some older members aren't as active now, probably because of school work, employment and such. The real way of engaging to the whole clan, mainly the older members are posting on the forums, as you always see the old members pop about here, even if they don't play as much ingame. You also get a chance to catch what events are coming up, and even manage some yourself which will always be brought forward, like your DOTW (love it).

Just wait till the new members can walk alone in this clan, it will be scary. I hope we get a couple more Gregs personally ;D

Honestly, I am not that happy in Consentus.
I'm here because this is what I know.
I just feel as if most of the people are stuck up, and don't want to welcome new-comers.
I try my best to participate in conversations, but am constantly ignored by everyone.
At times, I do get into the conversations.

I am still here because I do enjoy some of the people. Such as.. You , Scar, Jordan, and Mathi.
Also, I've been here for a while, and It's a great clan overall, just some of the people need reality checks.

I do things in order to make Consentus fun for myself. Such as.. Diva of the Week.
I do that in order to have something to do in order to be involved with Consentus.
Becuase, other than that and doing Citadel, I don't feel involved at all.


Other than that, it's not bad at all. Wonderful clan you have here.
It's funny that you send this message, because I've been looking around for another clan, honestly. I didn't find anything. So I stopped looking, I'm going to stay with CTS and make it fun for myself, and not worry about the more stuck up players.





This is certainly a turnaround from this PM I recieved at 8.30 this morning from you??

Surely bringing in a personal message from someone isn't the best way to handle them leaving? What, with it being 'personal' and all that.

It's unfortunate you feel this way Mason. Other people have pretty much summed up what I would say, but I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your time playing Runescape, and continue to be yourself.

I have to agree with Jesse.

Judging by the PM he sent Lilly a couple hours before the thread, he seem to post this out of frustration after a argument, which cause people to not think straight. (Been there, done that x1000), and honestly, he did blame it on everyone but himself, I wouldn't say he tried his best to get going with people, so saying you're not being greeted into the clan when you're not trying is kind of out of place and just a cry for attention. :\

Completely agree with this.

I find it insulting that you have worded it in a way which makes it seem like all of Consentus is like that when most people certainly aren't. I've recently been very inactive ingame due to Laptop issues but I know that I always make an effort to greet everyone in the clan chat and start/join conversations. I say hello everytime I log in and due to me being a well known member who has been with Consentus for a while I get hellos back which make me smile every single time but even for me there is the odd occasion where I'm ignored but I don't let it get to me. Instead of expecting people to persuade you to join in, make yourself join in because you most certainly won't become known or respected by staying quiet, hoping to get noticed and then getting pissed off when it doesn't happen. Have something to say? Say it. I love talking to people in the clan chat and have made many friends over the year I've been with Consentus.

Btw I really liked that you made that DOTW and if you do reconsider and decide to stay with us I hope you continue with that too.

"Maybe it's not CTS, it's you"

How may members left this week? I believe there has been about 3 members now that have made a post and left.
I no longer think it's the member themselves but the people in the clan that PUSHES others away.
We're suppose to WELCOME people and at least TRY to get to know them and that's obviously not happening.
If someone says hai in the clan chat, say it back. Regardless of their rank or if you know them. It's not gunna hurt, now is it?
Stuck up people... (wasn't a serious comment)

I understand that CTS is growing and it's hard to remember every name and name changes. I get that.
But, people should learn not to take things so seriously and make an argument in clan chat.

Not to sound cheesy or anything, but the people that left, left because they expect everyone to pay full attention all the time. People are busy doing their thing, and it's quite sad that people leave because they don't get a hello when they join. No one really say hello to me I don't give a crap, I try to say hi to everyone and that's how it should be, you should make an effort and stop being so focused on people saying hi, at the end of the day we're all different individuals and maybe he wasn't fit for the clan since it seem he only really leave because he didn't get attention.

Just my opinion not trying to hate on you, or anyone else, Mason.

Most people just log on to play the game. And runar thats slightly harsh, it may come across that he wants the attention but you have to consider where he might be coming from. He probably doesn't feel welcomed in the clan, as this is supposed to be like a family, he might feel that he just doesnt fit in anymore. I know sometimes i dont feel welcomed myself but it shouldn't bother you mason, most people are busy doing there own stuff on rs :) if you want to get really involved take time to try and speak to someone individually, or join skype nights :).

It annoys me how you said everyone in cts is this, does that. Because you're wrong. And saying things like that well,, people wont be warm or welcoming towards you. ://

Just my opinion not trying to hate on you, or anyone else, Mason.

Everyone one wants some type of attention. It sucks that a large group of people in the clan already know each other because they've been in the clan for quiet some time. It only makes it harder for newer people to join that group simplely because their new. It's hard to make an effort if you know you'll only be ignored. People in the clan should make an effort to allow the newcomers feel conformable and at home,which I believe should be a family, correct? For example: When my cousin came to live with me, he was quiet and awkward as hell, but everyone tried to make him feel at home and now I literally consider him an annoying brother. See, I  had to make an effort to make him feel conformable.
I know people are busy doing their own little on RS, but when anyone see a person they don't really know, they should at least make an attempt. It really does make a person happy.

"Maybe it's not CTS, it's you"

I understand that CTS is growing and it's hard to remember every name and name changes. I get that.
But, people should learn not to take things so seriously

Unfortunately, that's exactly what has happened..

What?  Are you saying it's the guest's that are making everyone leave?


No, when I said the members themselves as in the 3 members that left.
and people in the clan as in everyone in the clan. I probably worded it all weird like, sorry. I wanted to finish typing cause im lazy.

I don't think newer members are targeted as such, but i do believe for the introverts who join it is very hard to feel welcome.

I wish you luck in finding a new clan

How may members left this week? I believe there has been about 3 members now that have made a post and left.
I no longer think it's the member themselves but the people in the clan that PUSHES others away.
We're suppose to WELCOME people and at least TRY to get to know them and that's obviously not happening.
If someone says hai in the clan chat, say it back. Regardless of their rank or if you know them. It's not gunna hurt, now is it?
Stuck up people... (wasn't a serious comment)


Not to sound cheesy or anything, but the people that left, left because they expect everyone to pay full attention all the time. People are busy doing their thing, and it's quite sad that people leave because they don't get a hello when they join. No one really say hello to me I don't give a crap, I try to say hi to everyone and that's how it should be, you should make an effort and stop being so focused on people saying hi, at the end of the day we're all different individuals and maybe he wasn't fit for the clan since it seem he only really leave because he didn't get attention.

Just my opinion not trying to hate on you, or anyone else, Mason.

Everyone one wants some type of attention. It sucks that a large group of people in the clan already know each other because they've been in the clan for quiet some time. It only makes it harder for newer people to join that group simplely because their new. It's hard to make an effort if you know you'll only be ignored. People in the clan should make an effort to allow the newcomers feel conformable and at home,which I believe should be a family, correct? For example: When my cousin came to live with me, he was quiet and awkward as hell, but everyone tried to make him feel at home and now I literally consider him an annoying brother. See, I  had to make an effort to make him feel conformable.
I know people are busy doing their own little on RS, but when anyone see a person they don't really know, they should at least make an attempt. It really does make a person happy.

I'll agree on that, but honestly, most of the people in the group got ignored at first. They just sucked it up and kept trying instead of demanding attention 24/7.

Lol you just had me a bit confused, but that makes sense.  and not every member that has left has necessarily left on bad terms, and we even gained one back.  with the clan growing people are going to leave, i just find that this persons reasoning for leaving isn't deep enough.  it's solvable, workable, far from permanent.  it's an over reaction, that's it

Took me a couple of months to get to know even a few people, many still don't know me now if i'm honest, and i sure as hell don't know 95% of the clan...it's hard to keep track of some people, and for me it's not just the new people, I don't know many of the high ranks if i'm honest

This is getting a tad out of hand.

I am sure we all want Mason to stay, we all have our moments.

Lets leave it at that.

People who look for attention won't find a home here. We've seen it in other threads where people don't get the recognition they want so they blame the clan. It's them not us. Masson has always been outgoing and cheerful but you can't blame anyone for not enjoying his "diva" antics which come across as really annoying and lack the entertainment that was previously a novelty. If you're in a clan for attention then go somewhere else.

How long is it going to take the people who run this clan to wake up?...No offense...

Please tell me how many people have left just this week because of the SAME exact reason. I don't understand why any of you try to argue from a different standpoint on why they left? They gave you their reason. Leave it at that. Don't start some long, drawn out, petty argument/discussion about it. There is no point.
Again, tell me how many people have left because of THIS exact reason. Case closed.

Drop the whole diva thing and people will also be more accepting, it's not needed every 10 minutes.

This is yet another reason for me to go.
I don't know if you know me, which obviously you don't, that's my personality.
If I can't be myself, then I don't want to be here.
If you don't like the whole Diva thing, then so be it.
I mean, I have no problem with ANYONE in this clan.
It's hard enough being accepted anywhere.
DIVA is me.
Diva is how I deal with things.
You have your way of dealing with things.
I have my way of dealing with them.
For you to tell me to drop it, is more than offensive.

there will be people in life who we will never see eye to eye with.
that is life mason.
im sorry you feel the friends you do have in this clan, and the ones you have yet to get to know who were just away (eg abbie <3) who are lovely, are not enough to keep u to stay. and that the smaller minority make you wish to leave
i do believe this iswhy jagex invented the ignore list, and i would implore you to stay

as it seems you are not going change ur mind as yet, i wish you the best of luck

maybe the thread should be locked soon.

Let me clear this up,

This is not an attack on Consentus, or the people in it.
This is just me stating, this is not the right place for me.
I've read other boards of people leaving without giving any feedback, and they are asked why....
I give feedback, and it's a big deal.
I enjoyed being in Consentus, I loved the people in consentus.
Just, after last night, I finally realized it wasn't the place for me.
I was just leaving some feedback on how to be more accepting to newer members in the future.
& Yes, I will.. ALWAYS be a Diva. ;)
That's just who I am, lol.
Also, as far as seeking attention... No, that isn't me.
I cannot help that I have a personality that some people are drawn too, and some people just hate.
I'm not going to hold back because YOU don't like it, that's not fair.
There are plenty of people who do things in the CC constantly that I don't like.
I can't judge them over it, neither can you judge me.

I'm simply Masson.
I'm the Diva.
That's what I'm known as.
That's what's been me.
I mean...


I do plan on keeping in touch with all of you, I just don't feel the need to be apart of a clan at this moment.

Also, for the record, and a leaving present, I'll give everyone one thing...

*hair-flip* *z-snap* ....

I never "right eye wink'd." >_> Zon't Zo Diva If You Zon't Know How TO Diva, mate.
