Re: Stonewall Chat and Grouping Up
Heres my 2 cents...
Vent is important. When teaming for STFs, Vent is heavily enouraged so the leader can give out instructions. With other missions, it is optional, but up to the leader of the group's discretion.

Don’t exclude anyone. Wither you are using vent or Stonewall Chat to announce you are starting a group, please do not exclude someone. Try your best to include anyone who wants to come with. If six people want to participate, try splitting into two groups of three to include everyone, if possible.

While at least when I do runs I don't exclude anyone I do go to TS people first because we are all already set up to go. At times some people are under a time crunch (as I am a lot of the time), so time is an issue. And at times TS ppl do fill up a team, while ts isn't required to do an STF there are times when it can make or break the STF, HSE is an example, I refuse to do that without everyone in the same channel, it is straight forward but that doesn't mean that its easy especially when discussing strategies and how we are going to proceed so that we can actually complete it.
Also at times the x'ing could be to get an invite to a bridge, the starbase, a party, or for leveling, it's not always for STF's. I know that if there is room left when I'm done getting the XOX's from those interested then I always go to fleet chat! Also if you see it happening frequently, it might be the same group trying to accomplish something specific, all working towards common goal. Ya never know....
So in my opinion while you do not like how things went down today, it does happen. I think we all forget at times this is just a game, we need to relax and have fun and if something doesn't go our way its not like the borg are going to come and assimilate this, also I've never heard of anyone beating this game so it's not like it's a race and we have to finish the game, so lets all get along and have fun! :-)
vent/teamspeak/voip program of choice please pick which one applies.
