I'm only going to say this once, and that will be the end of this discussion.
We are not excluding anyone from this event. We gave directory members ample time to sign up. It ran on the tail end of an activity check. Those that signed up before the cut off were added, and those that joined after the cut off were not included because they joined after. They can still make friends and find themselves a valentine for the fourteenth. That's fine. But they can't join the even because people were alreayd paired up and valentines were already set out. There's a reason we did things like this.
Our events are based on a system of giving and taking. Every valentine sender has a valentine as well. Or they should. It's worked well on most fronts. Those who have signed up haven't complained of being left out or ignored by their valentine. So they're sending love, getting love, and it's good for everyone involved. It's also a message to everyone else, one saying "Hey! This is fun! You should join in for the next event!"
The problem with new individuals randomly jumping in on the event means that they will only receive valentines and not send any. How is that a problem? It's not. Not if you want to get anal about it. But because we admins generally do something for the people who didn't have a valentine for the even (either through their partner dropping the ball, a late arrival, or some other reason) it throws us off.
If you want to be someone's secret valentine, that's basically fine. But tell us so we can keep things organized. Please. And don't outright complain about it, either. We're not excluding you. We have a set system, and we're trying very hard to stick to it, because the last time we didn't (the Santa event, if I recall), things fell apart.
Finally, we may be admins, but we make mistakes. Sehun, for example, was a mistake. That's a mistake one of us made because we didn't realize he was signing up, and we treated his message as a regular message. I am in the process of figuring out a way to rectify that, and he knows it.
And for anyone what wants to argue this with me, I will take complete responsibility. This announcement was written by Jonghyo and only Jonghyo. Don't go and complain to Yixing about this subject anymore. Please. Complain to me. He's done a lot for this directory as of late, and I want him to have a few days of not being bitched ta, if you know what I mean.
We all good now? Yes? No? Good.
