I think a lot of us are not unwelcoming, but rather just a little weary of new users simply because a lot of what we do rides a very fine line between fair use and piracy, and one person who isn’t understanding or following the protocols we’ve set in place can easily mess it up for everyone. All it takes is one notice to Harmy, or towne32, or poita, or Adywan, etc, from lucasfilm/Disney/fox and we all can’t do these kinds of projects anymore. Or at least we couldn’t share them.

So when someone who we don’t know if we can trust or not comes in acting so unlike you’d expect a new user to, we are I think understandably a little defensive.
