I'm sorry you feel this way Snap, but as the others said you need to take no for an answer. I've talked to you about this before and you've stated yourself you have a problem with not taking no for an answer.
I also think it would have been nicer it you looked into the problem a little bit more before you decided to call it a community issue because I personally haven't heard of any of these instances besides the ones you bring to our attention.

I don't personally know what it likes from your pov, but I can feel how it's frustrating.
If you say that there's a nooby joining, then they can join any one of the public channels and talk to the people there. Heck, that's what I did (with a lot of ecouragement from Dark, I believe). If you feel like you want to have some more friends, try to talk to the people you don't normally talk to that are in the public rooms. You never know, you might get some good friends out of it. I know that I did.

I've been alienated from channels many times before, but either I invite someone to speak to me or I get over it, join the AFK room and listen to music until I have someone to talk to.
I can see how you may be upset at this, it's completely understandable - I've been in your shoes many times before, and I'm still put into the same position even now, but a private channel is where people can talk comfortably with people they know and possibly even about something personal if they have no other way to contact that person.
I myself never spoke on teamspeak unless it was with a few of my well known friends because I'm self conscious about my voice, so when I did I'd rather be in private channels. If they say no, don't take it personally because you have to understand that they're not saying you're not their friend, they're saying that they'd rather just talk to the close friend group they're already in.

At least on my times in TeamSpeak, there's not a whole lot of people using private channels, just public channels. Make sure to join them 
I myself only use them if I'm doing something important (e.g. personal convo, duo queue ranked)
And if they are using private channels, what has said above many times is true... it's a private channel, they don't have to let you in. They go to that channel for privacy, not publicity.

You make friends on servers. Not Teamspeak. Then those friends have a right to share a private room in which they can chat.
You wouldn't go up to a group of people in a bar and push in, would you?
I need to down something strong to forget this thread. It's a silly thread.

Alright, I agree they're private rooms for a reason. But if you say something like 'Oh we only let our friends in', that's kinda harsh, and unless you're having a dead serious conversation, which most people don't in the private rooms if I'm honest, it's like you're not willing to make new friends.
I dunno, I can see both sides of this, and am neutral towards it.

In my opinion, the real issue is that no one is really in the lobby anymore. (any time I'm on at least) When I first started on TS and throughout my staffing years, people were always in the lobby, there was upwards of 15 people in there at any given time with a group discussion. We had other rooms sure, however, people wanted to be with the crowd and have a conversation with everybody. Now, we have people scattered over many different channels such as convo rooms, the league of dungeons room, etc. The community is not as close knit as it was a year ago say. (TS wise) Everybody has their own cliques and stays with them in a certain room, sort of like a private school in California full of rich kids and I myself have been guilty of doing this.
No one is to blame, I think its just how the community evolved. When I first started, it was only one real game and we know what that is. Now we have a lot more servers, others games and a lot larger player base. This is just my two cents and maybe I got a little off topic but, hit me.

Typically the convo room's are abused to all hell.
EVERYONE
who has EVER
come on Teamspeak
has abused it at some point. Some groups more than others do this as well. But the fact remains that the point is for those 3 rooms to be private. I've had many a conversation that needs to stay within those rooms.

Well, look into the teamspeak channels. There's usually some people in the League of Legends channel, the rest is in the silence room and the rest is either in the lobby or in a private room. No one really talks to anyone new.
Finally something I can quote on. Yeah I don't use TS. I prefer irc or steam chat.

There will be one day minecraft server, that will force you to use TS, if you want to play in team with highest efficiency, that will make people use other channels.;_;To be fair, us League of Legends players are willing to talk to anyone who plays League, whether we know them or not, hence why we're in the League room
As in we need some gamemode with teams, where you can use TS to communicate effectively.
But I don't think, that public channel will ever get crowds again.
Try IRC until then

To add, at the same time, it's not like we're going to force you out if you don't play League xD We just talk about League (and expect others to talk about League) when in the League of Legends channel.;_;To be fair, us League of Legends players are willing to talk to anyone who plays League, whether we know them or not, hence why we're in the League room
None...?"We only let known friends into our channel."
This has been said way too fucking often. If you deny this fact, then whatever, but what you can't deny is the fact that it has probably happened to you or to someone else you know.
I mean, in all honesty, how many times have you had this said to you in some form and your reaction is this:
As many people have said, if they don't want to let you in, they don't have to. It's their choice. Of course "We only let friends in" may not be the smartest way to handle things, it's what they choose to do. You have to respect people's opinions, even if it's not favorable.
