Hey dude, I don't believe anyone is who they say they are until they get OCSM status. However, I will encourage them to get OCSM. If they don't, then we know why. Ashley will prove herself, or not, give it a few days and a few mods.
Remember my last words in my very first post ...
"Since we've had a couple people already claim to be Ashley in this thread alone, it would be nice to see OCSM status at some point (or not to prove otherwise)."
I'm all up for proving people are not, by seeing them not bother to obtain OCSM status. A lot of people were rude to Teen Model Tara, and she turned out to be an OCSM in the end. I'd like to think it was a PM of hers I responded to that had a lot to do with her staying around (although it could have been others as well).
So you don't have to be rude to make a point, and I think I did in my very first post. It was a kind, "put up" without saying "shut up." Being polite is the best way to encourage someone to obtain the OCSM status.
