[quote=Dervish]I don't really agree with 2, at all. Rejecting someone to see if they'd be grateful to be accepted back a few days later just seems like an unnecessary dick move out of Fight Club. Starting a relationship with a player by establishing yourself as a manipulative liar is a terrible way to go about it. Just spend time going over the character sheet and go into a hard, detailed review that picks apart anything that looks questionable. If they are open to criticism and work at properly addressing it, then you have a good player. If not, then you get it out right then and there. Don't play head games.

And I agree with this 100%. If someone took the time to express their interest, the least you can do is be respectful. Even if they're not a good match, you shouldn't treat them poorly.
