OP, never give up, never surrender.
Maybe this might help you:
Sorry you got problemed with joining goons…but really many might say “well, serves you right for joining goons in the first place”. In somewhat begrudging fairness to goons, a lot of their recruiting process is something of a test in itself. They want to see who will do research, who might be a complainer and/or drama queen, who is clever (or devious perhaps depending on your point of view)
Goons do incubate new players (karmafleet) and actually do quite a bit for the game, but joining one of the component corps of goonswarm federation might be something best done with caution at least.
