Replying to Cult Acceptance?

I would like to join a cult but it has conflicting information on the homescreen..........

*******IF YOU WANT AN INVITE PLEASE REQUEST ONE DO NOT SEND ME A MESSAGE SAYING INVITE PLZ?!*********

and then

PM a Cult Leader for an invite. They can be found on the "Members" page on the navbar above. If you just request to join, it will take much longer, because we rarely check it. There's no requirement to join other than sending us a request, but if you break the forum rules (stickied at the top of LM) you get one warning, then you're out.

does it matter if I invite the official way or pm a cult leader?

I just don't wanna piss anyone off haha

Thanks!
