Entry 13: My sincerest displeasure in making Unions

I am really getting pissed off at the lack of help in Gamespot Complete members making Unions. I sent this thread on the Forums Section:

Message Title: OK I really need help IN MY UNION THAT I AM TRYING TO GET off the GROUND

Message:

I want to know why does the Unions here you must invite at least 4 chater members to start the union? I tried to invite the peopke on my friends list and I got this:

Gathering Charter Members
Now it's time to choose your union's charter members, without whom your union cannot be established. This here's real important, so listen up!

You may select from 4 to 8 individuals from the GameSpot community to become your charter members. At least 4 eligible prospects must sign your union charter for your union to be formed (they'll receive automatic notification). These individuals will become your union's officers, and will be able to update and administer your union right alongside you, unless you dictate otherwise. You'll need to have at least 2 officers at all times, but you'll be able to promote additional officers later--or demote any of the ones who step out of line.

NOTICE: Be careful about who you choose as your prospective charter members, because if fewer than 4 eligible prospective members accept your invitation, you'll be unable to form a union for another 30 days. We recommend using all 8 available charter member slots, unless you're positively sure that your prospects are going to accept. We also recommend contacting your prospects directly, to get their consent prior to formally extending the charter member invitation. Feel free to leave this page and come back later--your work has been saved.

Only certain members of the community are eligible charter members (we'll let you know). Having trouble finding enough prospective charter members? Visit the GameSpot Unions Discussion & Recruiting forum and solicit the community for assistance! Or, invite your friends to register for GameSpot so that they can help form your union! If you leave this page, don't worry--your work has been saved, so you can jump right back to this step whenever you like.

You must invite at least 4 and at most 8 charter members. Why can you make it possible for me to invite everyone on my list? I am a Gamespot Complete member and I really think you can treat anyone who is a Gamespot Complete members? Why can you let anyone just make an union and have it made without mandating the person to invite 4 to 8 members and let anyone join the Union immediately from the list if they want to. Because of this I gave up on making my own Union and I may give up having a membership here as well. I don't feel I am getting anywhere with making one and I am at my wits end with it. I love it here and I don't want to go because of this. I have tried to make it for the past 5 months and nothing at all. I even tried to call CNET and to use the help sections and I still got no help.

I am getting sick and fed up with the lack of help and I do love my friends in my friends list and I really question why that they will not even help me get my own Union off the ground and why some of them have it where they will not accept any invites? The Union I am trying to make for the past 5 months is, The BloodRayne Sarah Kerrigan Liberation Front Gamespot Office. I am really getting upset that I am not having any success in this. This is my first Union and no one want to help me. I feel that I am not really wanted at all here.
