    -no clue who you are
    -terrible app
    -look at previously accepted apps to see what you're not doing
    -"I love to help others" is very cliche

    HI!
    You seem like a really friendly person! +

    However, I don't believe that I have seen you on TS or Minecraft before, so try to get yourself out there more!

    Also, I would like to suggest that, if you do decide to apply again, that you add more details about yourself in your Introduction, 'Why' section, and your Weaknesses. We would love to know more about you and how you can make a difference as part of the Meep staff!

    For now, I will give you a -1. Please remember that recieving a low score does not mean that you are a bad person; it just means that you have things to work on! <3 I suggest that you look through the applications of accepted staff, such as PeriHeika's, Baby Elsa (LadyCassandra)'s, and Kling's, to get ideas of what you could include in your applications!

    Good luck, though!

    Hey there!
    First of all, you posted 2 helper applications so you might want to delete one of them.
    I have never seen you before but you seem like a sweet guy with lots of energy and positive thoughts. I know lots about ADHD and this should not hinder you in doing what you're supposed to do as staff so no need to tell in your application (unless it actually affects the way you socialize and act around people on the server).

    Your whole application was really bad and i'm not sure if you actually understand what it takes to become a staff member on meepcraft.
    Your Introduction is supposed to be about you and who you are. Yes you have ADHD but your illness does not make you, there must be stuff you like to do in your free time such as playing sports or hanging with friends. You should tell us who you are and what you enjoy doing besides playing on meepcraft, tell us about your interrests, family and school.

    Your "Why should you be helper" part was really bad, you would want the staff and everyone else to think "wow where have this kid been all along?" When i read it i just thought "oh well that's good you like to help but just not close to being enough" explain why they should consider you as helper, what do you do to make a good impact on the server? What could you bring to the staff team if you got helper? "Because i like to help" is not enough.

    You could have gone into more detail with your weaknesses, why are those your weaknesses? What are you going to do to improve on them?

    -1 i recommend waiting a long time before applying again, you're just not ready.

    -1, lets start off the topic with goods, then evolve into bads.
    +You're friendly? I'd hope, I have no interactions with you in game or on TS; this leads me to say you aren't active. Although this could be a time period thing.
    -You aren't active in /global chat and or /world chat, this leads me into believing you aren't helpful.
    -When you are on TS you are normally quiet, or not talking at all.
    -Your introduction states you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This can or cannot be used in a good way. Let us face all facts, your overall introduction was very short and non-informational. You say you somehow are ADHD, maybe you were hyper (not to be offensive at ALL) while typing this application because you clearly have many mistakes, or maybe you haven't advanced into learning this subject in 7th or 8th grade? As you learned in 4th and or 5th grade I would assume. Now, lets move on to your actual 'why you should be helper.' So as you would know being 13, you NEVER ever ever start a sentence... or paragraph with 'Because.' Okay, enough lecture from me. Anyways, your good at googling things? I never knew it was that hard to google something you need an answer to. Okay lets move on, you say "googling" something you don't know the answer to, lets say your the only staff online and a player is being accused of hacks, are you just going to "google" how to use prism or how to see if someone is hacking? That is example one of many that you would google if you don't know the answer (not saying you don't know the answer, its an example) 'Because I love to help others' because what? Why do you love to help people? No offense but that is a generic answer.
    +You apparently "learn" things fast and easily, that is good, that means if you get accepted you'll learn how to use/handle situations :)
    Weaknesses: Your weaknesses can be worked on, stubbornness is an easy fix, just get more used to going with the flow of the waves, unless you need to actually stop a riot, or fight. Sarcastic? that can be a hard or easy fix, its the way you want it to be. I have no known examples to myself of sarcasm, but i'd assume you know how to "fix" this.

    Overall I am a -1, sorry buddy! :D Never the less, great luck! ~Shark_Waffle~

    By the way, since this is my first application, I don't really expect it to be accepted. I'm just posting it to get feedback.

    I am sorry but I am on -1. Reasons are that…I've never seen you before! Timezones might be issue, but I am online very often for many hours. The app was really short and lacking, you've should take a look at accepted applications to see what kind of application is good. And the fact that you have ADHD makes me slightly worried, no offense at all, it's just worrying me that it will affect to your job as Staff member. And since you posted this...
    This proves that you're not confident enough, you doubt that you will get accepted, being negative about your application is a bad thing. I suggest now you be more active, and improve your flaws. If you decide to apply again someday, do it few months later when you're 100% sure you're ready, and make a good application, ok? :3

    Why am I supposed to care that you have ADHD? I have it too. Big deal. It isn't needed in this app unless you're trying to include it as a weakness.
    You need to put solid effort into this.
    why should you be staff?
    What do you bring to the team?
    What makes you better than the others?
    Why should the community put their trust in you?
    Alright, this is good, but how are you working on these?
    I don't care if you have ADHD. I can see that your ADHD gives you another weakness: Immaturity.
    Overall app had about 2 minutes of work put into it and your points about you having ADHD were not needed.
    I don't know you at all - get yourself out there! IG, TS, and Forums, we don't bite I swear. A community likes a staff member they know and trust!

    Overall, work hard on making a better app, get active, and apply in a month or two :)

    Lack of confidence is not good for a staff member. Your application was extremely weak, and after reading it I know basically nothing about you that I didn't know before.
    This doesn't matter. Anybody who can play Meepcraft knows how to use google. I see nothing in you that stands out. Why should the staff pick you? What's special about you? I don't see any reason that you should be chosen to be a staff member here. I've seen you ingame, but I haven't seen much of you. You don't seem like a bad guy, but right now staff's not for you.

    HUGE -1 and heres why

    -You don't help. And this personally Is one of the worst apps ever (sorry <3)
    -I don't care that you have adhd. Having it doesn't mean you are guaranteed staff
    -Make your app more professional and be a little helpful in chat. Get on ts more

    Kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder tend to have a harder time learning new things compared to kids without it. This will most likely be visible on school work/texts etc as you notice here. You will kind of grow out of the disorder as you get older but while you're young it's pretty obvious that you're suffering from ADHD. It is different from person to person when you're able to "grow out" of it.

    To be honest you didn't do anything wrong but "You might have been hyper while writing this application" is offending, i find it offending and yes i can say that, because i have ADHD myself. :) (I find it offending but that's probably just me)

    This is a true fact, as I now seem to notice how offending that certain message was. And I do know what ADHD is because I have numerous friends with it. (I also have minor ADHD)

    Thank you!
    Thank you thank you thank you!
    This is the most helpful reply I've gotten!
    And by the way, I included the ADHD thing because it has both pros and cons.

    We will be denying this app at this time. You need to improve your app as this app did not tell us much about you. You also need to work on getting know with the community and helping others.
