criticism only please, staff members should know that already. Thank you!

 

You have shown me absolutely nothing to make me think that you deserve to be a staff member.​

You act incredibly immature and have no real desire to improve the server; instead, you'd rather be on top and exploit others to get there.

This is not the kind of person I want anywhere near the staff team, thank you very much.

I really don't think you have the capacity to think about anyone else but yourself.

The fact thst I thought this was another of your 'assuming that I'll get Helper because I'm amazing' applications, which is honestly kinda sad and I feel like the only person who remembers it.

Oh, and I forgot that you treat others like dirt and think that an argument thst has been going on between you and a player for literal months is harassment, when you've been doing just as much 'harassment' to the other player. Sorry, but I don't want someone as biased and selfish as you in our team.

You are selfish, biased, immature, and don't care about anythig but getting more money. You toe the line if the rules just barely because you think you can get away with anything.

TLRTTLR;

I don't want you to touch the staff team with a ten foot pole, thank you very much.


By the way, for anyone interested in that application that I referenced;
http://meepcraft.com/threads/hornemans-staff-application.32291/

It may have been a troll, but I have no doubt in my mind that you actually believe half of the things you mentioned in that application.

 

You made another application that is great to see you are excited to be staff and have changed your personality in such a short amount of time!

With this I believe you are not suited for staff. I had a situation with yourself because you were being an absolute pain not just to myself but the entire channel on teamspeak and when asked if you could stop/settle down you preceded to continue your antics on teamspeak.

It appears you love gossip just nearly as much as I love food, a few times I have been in a channel with yourself as you love to find out and share things about other players. Which on one occasion I said you should not share a certain situation with people which I do or do not know if you did.

You are quite judgemental as I have seen on discussion threads you will add an extra line for an example saying "You seem like the kind of person who gets mad when he doesn't get his way no offence." I believe the immature should stear clear from the discussion threads because they do add an exta something that is not needed.

Although you are kind to people I believe that you may lie to them since you love to know/share the dirt and potentialy do the same withing the staff. What is there to back up that you wont leak staff chat?

Its a -1 from me but fixing up your maturity issues and being more helpful I believe you could be well fit for the team.

Remember you don't need to be staff to help people.

Alright...

This is the third time I've had to post this, it's been deleted twice before.

+1

I encourage the next staff member going to delete this to peruse through the archives and see the litany of -1/+1 I've posted on applications. I mean what I post and I post what I mean.

Stop deleting my comments

 

To be very blunt, I think if you ever hold a staff position here it will be too soon. Your attitude is one that is not conducive to the helper role. There have been moments in staff skype where you have been outright condescending to the other staff, over some trivial fact. The statement that most perfectly reflect this issue is

This is not the first time this stupid book has been brought up in order to heighten you on some fake pedestal, with comments in staff that you're the only one who things for themselves, and other similar comments. This is extremely off-putting, and simply not true. You are no better than anyone else due to what book you've read, and to even believe in this for a second truly shows the extent of your naivety.

Let us also touch upon your demotion, this was not a general demotion due to inactivity, the ability to handle modreq, or anything of a similar nature. You bluntly made the statement of leaking staff and attempting to ruin "us". When I questioned you "Isn't leaking a perm ban", you replied you do not care. Also stating that "if i am demoted no one is ever going to apply again for i will ruin you all". This shows me you are childish and have inadequate skills to handle challenging or frustrating situations without resulting in threats and tantrums.

A lot of this staff have worked very, very hard rebuilding this server from the ashes of MN, myself included, and to allow you back on this team would threaten everything we have worked for, you are untrustworthy, immature, and a detriment to this server. Which is the same thing I said to you as you threatened to leak staff and ruin us.

I regret you having such health issues, as it's an unfair situations, however it bothers me you use this as an excuse for every dismal decision you've made in your tenure as staff, and it's to the point I quite frankly don't believe it. I think you make these choices in clear thought then use the health as a justification, and that leads to further mistrust, and in general doubt of your abilities as a whole.

To reiterate, due to your actions, and your actions alone, I view you to be 100% unsuitable for any position of any responsibility, and I believe it would be a grave mistake to allow you within this staff again. We rely on trust between each-other in order to maintain a working relationship, and that is something I have none in you.

I still have many problems that I had with your application before. Some of your posts on the forums are a little... strange and quite underdeveloped. Your serious contributions to conversations can seem very obvious and not offer much insight to the discussion. As well, your maturity is in question as I don't feel you can take the Helper role seriously. You were a lackluster Helper before, and I feel that if you become one with your current ideals and behaviours, you'd act the same way. I also saw your recent ban appeal, and even though it was a misunderstanding, that needs to be taken into consideration with this application. I'm also still disappointed with your "replying looks desperate" spam on other staff applications. However, you are very dedicated to the server and help a lot with ban requests and ban appeals, and you are trying to be helpful on the forums. You aren't a Lady_Hestia, there's hope for you, but not yet. I still believe you need some more time.

Hopefully this comment will actually help you, other than the others arguing on your staff application giving inconsiderate responses.

 

I debated whether to comment here because I know how fragile your ego is and how deeply criticism seems to hurt you. However, two things made me decide to continue: First, you know full well that the community responds (both positively and negatively) when someone applies to become a staff member. Second, staff is no place for fragile egos. Staff members will deal constantly with players in pleasant and unpleasant situations, and they need a level of maturity and strength that will ensure that they don't lose control when things don't go their way.

A few observations and suggestions:

You don't have the strength required to be a staff member. You constantly seek approval from others and sulk when you don't get it. Find your own path, and follow it. Don't depend on others to make you happy.

You don't take criticism well: in the minutes leading up to your demotion, you failed to accept well-meaning criticism. Instead, you raged and made terrible threats against the staff and server. Learn to see through other people's eyes and learn from your mistakes.

You whine. A lot. You whine about your life. You whine about the workload. You whine when people don't listen to you. You whine when Onis doesn't respond to your ridiculous displays of affection. Stop whining. Grow a backbone. Learn to survive and thrive even when things don't go your way.

Finally, stop trying to hang on the coattails of others. Everyone on the server knows about your infatuation for Onis because you've talked about it in chat hundreds of times. It is extremely annoying when you drone on endlessly about it. Stop it. This is a game. Quit trying to make it a soap opera. Have fun, and find out what fun is for other people around you. Then, perhaps, you will be able to help others in a way that is useful to the server.

Eh, I had free time, rant time

Before we even go into the rant, let's calm down, take a moment, and breathe. Think for a moment, reflect. Take a moment to collect yourself. Realize that you should really stop posting these.

Let's start with your past. You had a "notice me senpai" thing going with Onis and it got ridiculous. I'd say that's basically where my dislike for you manifested itself and deeply was rooting in the small hole I call my heart. Afterwards, your utter rudeness to me and other players kind of just kept driving the nail deeper and deeper. In fact I was amazed when you got staff the first time. Then you managed to completely blow it (and your "chances" with Onis) by threatening the server, getting yourself demoted and sent back to the land of exile (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Onward to the nearer past, your most recent helper application and the things surrounding it. My opinion on you wasn't changed, I still didn't like you. What really did it for me (and is going to be the basis of this paragraph) is the fact that you decided to take the way out of blaming every single one of your problems on your so called "illness". Honestly, regardless of whether you have health problems or not, there is no reason to bring those up. As a person who struggles with at least 1 of the things you mentioned (probably more if I think about it which I don't feel like doing) I find it very offensive. As abby put it, it's huge slap in the face, and I suppose that's where I began to utterly be against you being on staff ever.

And now we're onto the present.
Still immature
Still inactive
Still annoying
Still attention seeking
Still power hungry
Still blaming it on your illness
Still sucking up
Still trying at staff
Still lying about things changing

-1; not going to be biased here like most people. I will tell you the honest truth from my point of view whether it may be regarded as hateful or not.

• Activity is a requirement. You've failed to meet this requirement.
  • In-Game:
    • I don't care about how often you were online 'back in the day'. This is now, and I hardly see you online in-game enough. And its not because of the timezone difference - No. I converted the time. I am online when you claim to be.
    • I know you're not logged on quietly and just /pm'ing whoever needs help. You always set off an alarm for attention on /shout whenever you're online so its pretty obvious when you're online or not. Your shouts are not as helpful as they should be, and they often display immaturity. I also constantly check the tab list, and I do often switch from different servers back and forth.
    • Nor can you use your previous history as staff to make up for the lack of activity. You've been demoted twice. I don't see how that can make up for anything, it just shows you were never fix for the position to begin with.
    • You've been gone on and off and claimed more than once on /shout - mind you not even a month ago - That you were quitting Meepcraft. This was merely conducted for the sake of attention, considering how it was phrased, the huge scene you made of it, and how you'd keep returning. We need stable staff who are certain they will stay put here for the sake of the community, not for their own selfish desires.
  • Forums:
    • Your current posts seldom show anything helpful.
    • In addition to the last point mentioned in the previous section; You even wrote a forum thread that you were quitting Meepcraft not too long ago (http://meepcraft.com/threads/leaving-akira-shakira.5758/).
      
    • You claim to be managing some servers here (http://meepcraft.com/threads/goodbye-sorta.9154/). Meepcraft needs staff who can be fully devoted to their position here. You've also admitted to having no real interest left in Meepcraft. What about the community?
  • Teamspeak
    • Teamspeak activity is a requirement to even be considered for this position.
    • As mentioned in your weaknesses section, you are aware this is an issue. Why bother applying if you do not meet all the requirements? This shows you are not fully dedicated as you cannot bother to meet the standards beforehand.
    • Do not pull the sickness card on us too.
• Application was poor and lacking.
  • Introduction:
  • • Do not merge reasons for acceptance here.
    • Simply introduce yourself to us.
    • Give us your background here not in the reasons section.
  • Reasons:
    • You've been a staff member twice before, and yet you post such a horrid application and show such poor conduct whilst online. I expected a better application from you, not a recycled one from your previously rejected one (http://meepcraft.com/threads/helper-application.6421/).
    • Its been over two months and you still have the same issues as then. The same issues you claimed to have been working on. I've seen no progress.
    • You're still the same immature Akiratohiama I knew two months ago.
    • You still have not worked on your activity regarding Teamspeak.
    • You only gave us two weak and poorly elaborated reasons here. You gave us a huge vague list in the introduction. Put the reasons in the reasons section and leave the introduction to obviously - introduce yourself. I refuse to touch on the list mentioned in the introduction as it is not in the correct section, and on top of that there is no elaboration. Just a hastily written list.
    • Reason one: Staff experience - You state that you are familiar with the commands, which is good. However, that is pretty much it for staff experience. And then you mention your demotion and claim to have improved. Well aside from the points I've already touched on, can you tell us exactly what you've improved on? What have you learned from this then? You just gave us a point but did not elaborate on this.
    • Reason two: Maturity - This you buffered on your own whilst admitting to it in the weaknesses section. Why use it as a reason for acceptance then? Even so, from what I've seen, most of the content which you put on /shout is immature. Rather than stirring more reason for your fan club to fawn over you, help those who are asking for help on /shout.
  • Weaknesses:
    • I am not happy with the fact that you come here buffering a point you used as a reason. I do like that you acknowledged this as an issue because it is; however I am not happy with the fact that there has been zero improvement since you last posted your application and told us you'd improve.
    • Teamspeak - I already touched on this. Even so, I'll say it again - Teamspeak activity is a requirement that you must meet to even be considered for this position. Why apply if you know you fail to meet it? You've been staff before, you should know better.
  • Conclusion:
    • At least you have the concept of a conclusion down unlike most applicants. However it still wasn't the greatest conclusion.

 

hey no we lik dont went neone whu liks berds on owr staf tiem so dis iz denyd

 

i guess a name change may be in order
@Hornemans
ill gaurd your money while you get yourself a new identity

 

Madison, I apologise for the long message but I think this needs to be said: I know you're a great person and all but I think we as a server really need to ask : what will she do to change the server for the better? She obviously isn't going to be busy with modreqs (there's seldom more than 50 people online at a time), she isn't going to be coding (unless there's something she's hiding! mwahahah), and she hasn't displayed any groundbreaking ideas. This isn't anything personal, as I said, she's a really great person, but what's separating her from the current staff that are "great people" ? The current staff obviously isn't doing anything to help the server regain it's player base, which is the point of a minecraft server, to get tha moneyz.

I strongly believe that we do not need any more staff members who are just going to be average. I think if you were to be staff, Madison, you would have to really be adamant about things being changed and you would have to have very high goals for yourself and for the server and you would not give up on those goals. You have been staff before, and purely statistically, the player base did not improve while you were staff, the player base declined. I'm not saying that it's all your fault, but it is a team effort. I have seen staff members, mods, helpers even who really push for things to be accomplished. The hierarchy of staff does not need to be feared. If you demand it, then they will listen to you. An example, if you want something to be different, or if you don't agree with a policy, talk to other staff members and write a summary of what needs to be changed. If they don't listen the first time then send it again. Rinse and repeat. If you don't think anything needs to be different, you are in a strong state of denial or you just don't realise what is holding the server back.

I agree that Madison is an amazing community member, but I honestly don't see her adding anything really special to the staff team. I think if we want the server to improve, which is the whole point of becoming staff, we need staff members who are able to fix things and have strong intention, and we need community members who are kind and cool like Madison. If all the nice community members become staff, what's the point? It's really frustrating seeing these community members become staff then just kinda be a dead weight on the team. The standards really have to be higher especially with this declining player base.

I really, really hope that this message gets through in the voting process with the current staff and that the points are discussed thoroughly. The staff team's function as a whole needs to be defined further than doing modreqs for upwards of 60 people and putting a smile at the end of every sentence.

Thank you for reading.

 

+1, you know every rule, considering you've broken them all at some point

Introduction:
Hello everyone! My name is Freddy, also known as Telinus. I enjoy playing sports like football and baseball while working out. Every time I am free from school or extracurricular activities, I put in all the time I can get into MeepCraft. These past 6 weeks or so as Helper have been a truly amazing learning experience. I have been blessed with learning some of the new up-to-date plugins commands by some amazing teachers and friends. Not only have I been learning, but I’ve been enjoying every minute of it. I’ve always loved to volunteer as a kid to help make the world a better place, it fills me up with happiness like no other. Although this might be a little different, I would be grateful if I could get this one, little upgrade, to make a big difference within the community.


Why you should be Helper/Mod/Supermod ?
I believe over the last six weeks or so I have gave nothing but my best effort. I truly try to give everyone a fun experience while answering any questions they may ask or problems they need assistance with. This being said I believe I am responsible enough and organized enough to step up my game a little.

I have experience with most situations, and I am comfortable with them. Over the time I have covered some scam, theft, grief and island killing cases, and I know how to handle almost every kind of modreq. I know a lot about the server and have learned even more with experience as a Helper. I extremely want to get more involved within staff, and to take on more responsibilities than current powers allow.

Everytime I’m on the server I’m on TeamSpeak. This allows me to actually talk with everyone and make friendships and such while providing a larger base of communication with the players. I have a working microphone (but some people can only hear me out of one ear :x) and can interact with almost everyone. Same goes with the forums. If I am playing, I have the forums up at all times to check on updates and anything that’s possibly important, as well as try to watch the forums and see that no rules are being broken.

Weaknesses:
My modreq count. I know it’s not everything, but it does play a big part on showing my dedication. I assure you that although my count might not be the highest, the quality is what picks up the downside. I always try to fulfill what the modreq is about first, and then ask if they have any more questions after, and lead them to creating another modreq and/or messaging me back for further assistance.

I have never dealt with an x-ray case so far, thus hindering my experience of all types of situations. I am trying my hardest currently to watch the wild while doing modreqs and watching chat. Sometimes I get distracted and watch Netflix. Who knows. I can honestly tell you though that I am striving to become more focused on the job.


(I also try my hardest to stay mature )

Conclusion:

I am applying for moderator because I want to take a step further into the staff team- further into Meep. I believe I have adequate knowledge and would like to be promoted to the Moderator position. I know this application wasn’t the long 1,500 word app you would have expected, but I put my heart into every letter and I hope that’s what matters. Thanks for reading.
