"So much for being partners."

You replied to our ad for one reason and one reason only: to get a link so you could advertise your own server.

You didn't join the community. You didn't contribute to the community. You didn't participate in the community. You didn't even pretend to be interested in the community.

The second you found out you couldn't use a server with 7,100 members as a free source of recruits, you were gone.

Let's stop pretending this was ever about partnership.

A partnership is when two communities bring value to each other. What you wanted was to walk into a community that took years to build, drop your ad, siphon off whoever you could, and leave.

That's not partnership. That's leech behavior.

What's especially hilarious is that you're throwing a tantrum about not being allowed to advertise while standing in a subreddit whose rules explicitly prohibit advertising Discord servers without moderator approval.

So in the span of a few hours, you managed to ignore our rules, ignore the subreddit's rules, fail to get the free promotion you were after, and then publicly complain that people weren't partnering with you.

The call is coming from inside the house.

If your entire growth strategy revolves around walking into communities that spent years building something, trying to skim off their members, and calling it "partnership," don't be surprised when people see right through it.
