This is good to hear - it's not good to have people running around with your faction tag while you have no idea who they are. That said, it would probably be a good idea to put a freeze on your recruitment until you can figure out exactly how many people are in your faction and who these people are on the forums, so that you can have some kind of accountability.
Second, I'd like to point something out about the HAF that I think many other members of this community do not get.
I've found in my many experiences in Gamma as a Corsair indy flying about, that some of the nicest players in Corsair space have been the HAF. I acknowledge, and I feel that Cienfuegos and much of the HAF leadership acknowledge that not all members of the HAF are the best RPers, not all of them are the best English-speakers, and not all of them understand the way Disco works.
But I think that I would also like to acknowledge that I've never encountered a HAF who was plain mean. In fact, I might go as far as to say that I've never encountered one. While OORP and emoticons may dot some of their attempts to communicate, while there is a capspam issue, and while they might not "listen" to your orders, these are men(and hopefully, some women[real women, that is]) who are simply playing the gaming and trying to have fun the only way the know how to have fun.
Truth be told, at one point, I belonged to a cadre of people in the community who believed that we had the right to tell people like that to shove it and get off the server. And honestly, I regret every minute of that miserable existence.
Sure, even through this, you might not get official status, but I can't think of one time an official corsair faction member decided to undock with a Dreadnought and fly 40k to my position because I took a 195k mission on my Titan against 3 BHG destroyers. Why? I'm going to judge and assume here, but probably because the other people in Gamma thought, "Oh hey, look, indy Titan asking for help in //ooc. Let him rot, I'm too busy sitting here and being high n' mighty to do anything to help." But a member of the HAF did, and just helped me out. For no reason other than the fact that I asked for it.
I'm not here to bash any official factions - I'm a member of the TBH myself. But I feel that in all the RP nonsense that we've devised for Discovery, we've forgotten our roots. When I first got here, an //ooc slip here and there was looked past. An occasional emoticon ignored.
Why? Because everyone knew that everyone else was just here to have a good time.
