Best Posts in Thread: BobJonCreeper - Le Mod App ;3

I honestly thought this was a joke the first time I saw this thread.

Now, I feel I can best describe the way I see you with this diagram over here:



most of what I was going to say has already been said but I'll repeat it for clarity anyway.

I've seen so many threads about how you do not your job correctly, as well as many people complain about your staff work. You are incredibly immature, and you aren't even addressing the amount of fanboy bias on this thread! I'VE NEVER SEE SO MANY PEOPLE WORSHIP A 13 YEAR OLD.

On the bright side, you are almost always online, which is good... err for a helper. You can stay at your position for now, I'd prefer if it was for a while honestly. You have lots of dedication as well, and I won't doubt that you know a lot about this server and the people on it. This quality is great for the average helper that spends all day typing /claim x, /done x, /check, /kick x blah blah, etc. but it stops there.

To address the edit issue, an edit is an edit. You should have proofread your application, and the fact you didn't scares me even more. If you don't proofread your application, how can we expect you to proofread your bans? What if you missed that one chat log that results in some innocent getting banned? A major reason I probably will never trust you.

You can't deny the fact that you like to puppet some of the upper staff's actions. Honestly, have an opinion of your own for once. It goes a long way. You also have performed many questionable actions in game which makes me believe you are unsure of the rules or don't care enough to do your job well.

To address the ";3" issue, grow up. You know that this is a serious position and children of your caliber aren't able to handle this responsibly. Your fellow staff are offering their time, volunteering to a server that is going nowhere, and can still moderate and have a good time. I see your goofing off more than anything else.

I hope you appreciate how much work I'm putting into this review. I hope you'll take something out of this other than your roadie Jonnehboi is spamming. I'm trying to help you become the better helper you and I both know you can become. You just need to get your head out of ur butt.

Some constructive criticism:
- grow up
- learn to proofread
- read the rules
- work on your PR skills
- don't make stupid excuses when you make a mistake

- take responsibility for your faults

 

Why are basing his normal work as a helper for the moderator qualities? You say he does lots of modreqs... okay... that makes him more fit for mod in what way..? He's nice, okay, he doesn't like hurting people's feelings, we don't want a corruptible staff member with so much power, right? Being "nice" doesn't make a good moderator, I honestly hope you should know that by know.

You are proving to yourself that he's a great Helper, good. He can stay there. Until he starts performing over the top and doing things Mods should be doing, then we should discuss that then. When he is over the top and beyond, like many of the staff members we've had that go from Helper to Mod in under a month, he should become mod. But right now, he's not over the top. He knows how to type /claim and /done. Moderators do a lot more than "help" and do modreqs; from what you've seen from Bobjon, do you think he's able to handle that at the level we need moderators to be at? I don't.

 

Oh my god look at all them replies, you really are desperate.

+1, You are helpfull, gr8, uber amaze, and are the little puppet of a Helper that Meepcraft is looking for.

Honestly, you're not fit for any form of staff. You're cocky, whiney, you curse, you dont care to help people, and you do not learn. You have honestly disgraced the staff team, and I don't want to see you as Helper let alone Mod. You're here for the title, you do this cause you want power, you want to shove that Helper rank in everyone's face and say "Wanna try me?". You're abuse to power, you have to idea how many times I've seen you kick and tempban people for stupid reasons, be told that it's wrong, and then do it again 100 more times.

On the other hand, I do see you dedicated. You're online a lot, even though it may be doing the wrong things, you're good on that part. You're on all the time, so that's great for staff.

The only reason your on the staff team, is cause you're kissing up to the right people, and that's all it takes here on Meepcraft. -1

Introduction: Hey everyone! It’s BobJonCreeper or BobJon for short. I’ve been playing Minecraft for about 3 years now and it’s still yet to get tiresome. Besides my eternal love for Minecraft, I like to write poetry, go swimming, or hangout with friends. I’m 14 years young, I live in the sunshine state of Florida, and am currently the 9th grade. I am enrolled in all 10th grade honors classes(core) with Spanish 2 Honors and Digital Design. I am in a plethora of clubs, including Drama club, where I am competing at Districts in October, along with a few of my fellow club mates! Other than that, I’m pretty down to earth and if you ever wanna chat, don’t be afraid to send me a message! J

Why you should be Mod:


Experience: Since becoming Helper, I have dealt with a myriad of cases ranging from Advertisements to Theft. With over 500 completed modreqs within the short 5 weeks I have been on the Staff team, I have observed quite a lot of broad and individual cases/questions. I feel as though I am ready to tackle challenges more in-depth and challenging.


Dedication: From the moment I arrive home from school, throughout the rest of the day, I am on Meep. I will most likely be on for the rest of the day, or get on when another staff needs help. My weekends are usually chock-full of Meep too! I always try to get on when I can, whether it be the few minutes I have early in the morning before school, or the little time at night before I go to bed. I always try to get on, if at all possible.


Work Ethic: At the moment I get on, the first instinct my mind reminds me to do is /check. I have made myself remember to check as soon as I get on or sometime close by that time. I’ll do modreqs throughout the time I spend on, occasionally doing Player Reports when modreqs are done and seem to stop coming in. I always answer questions asked in /msg to me (unless you spam or are rude). I find it fun to help others and wish to continue to do so. :3


Involvement: As stated above, I am on every single day, for at least an hour. I do my Staff duties first but also don’t forget the meaning I came onto Meepcraft, to have fun. Which even as a Staff and the work I do, I’ve found it to be enjoyable alongside doing other activities in Meep.


Weaknesses:

• Maturity - Although I like to think I am rather mature for my age, I do have a little fun with the community and joke around. But hey, everyone deserves to do that every now and then. Like bluecarneal says, “Staff can have fun”.

• Carried away – Sometimes I get carried away when on and forget to do /check every so often like I usually do. This happens mainly when focused on something like a build I’m doing or another task I’m to do.

• Impatience & Temperament – At times I can be rather impatient when either handling a case or doing other activities. Sometimes this can lead to a rather short-temper that I’ve been trying to control, but sometimes I just gotta go cooool down.

Conclusion: Since becoming a part of Meepcraft’s wondrous Staff team, I have maid many friends, within the staff team and in the general community. I hope I have shown my true self enough to allow you to see what I am capable of. Thank you for taking the time to read my application! All constructive-criticism or comments welcome below! Have a great day Meepcrafters!

You need to stop arguing for his case, and accusing other people of "holding a grudge". They're allowed to post a constructive comment on his application, and regardless of whether "all of the staff are +ing him" the community has an input as well. Adding on to that, a few players have posted some very constructive things.

Fang summed it up perfectly. I was against you becoming a Helper, you lack the maturity and often kiss up to fellow staff members. When you applied, you had 27 forum posts, I honestly had no idea why your application was accepted. Your interaction was very limited, you were never around, but showed up for a few days and applied. In addition, you spamming chat and received a kick (now warrants a 1 hour ban) for that. This occurred whilst your application was in interview.

Sorry if this came across as rude, you're very nice, but

-1

EDIT:

And this is exactly what I was referring to above, just stop.

 

I want to expand on this actually.

I play on my friends accounts sometimes, and play on meep. You threatened to kick me if I didn't stop killing you, in kitpvp. If that is not abusive, I don't know what is. Being someone who you find insignificant, it was very easy to tell how you treat people you like vs people you don't, and staff vs non staff. You seem to act very differently, and make very impulsive decisions when dealing with someone who you find "insignificant" and often times, those decisions don't improve the situation.

I was at a friends house, and he decided to make a modreq. He asked a simple question that anyone should be able to answer, and you just ignored me and closed the modreq, with no /done message.

What Abby said, doesn't mean anything, other then that you like to type /claim. However, anyone can do that. It doesn't take anything to type /claim (id). What actually means something, is being able to answer that modreq, efficiently, and properly. You seemed to lack those qualities when answering my friends modreq. So, having the highest count, doesn't mean you did them well, but only that you were able to claim them. Quality over quantity.

Other than that, I find you incredibly immature, most of the time, and the times when you are making the slightest effort not to be, you still don't have the level of maturity that someone in the staff position should have. The one up side I can see to you, is that you are dedicated to the server itself, and spend large amounts of time on it. The problem I have with that, is what you do with that time. You don't spend it as effectively as you could, seeing as you're often goofing off.

Once again, -1. Please work on the feedback that I, along with others have given you.

 

Bobjon, I love you but.

The things I've been hearing along with a couple I've experienced myself are not good for any staff member to have on their record.
I HAVE seen you kicking for wrong or invalid reasons, and I do remember sighing when you put a bad reason thinking "not again..."
From what I've seen, you don't learn from your mistakes.

On top of that, and what others have already said (namely monkey... if that was only a month ago, YOU WERE STILL STAFF at that time. You've been staff for about 5 weeks, right? While that situation was... not really but sort of understandable as a joke... it was wrong and you know it.), I have not yet seen you take a negative comment without arguing back on it.
If you've messed up, you've messed up.
Admit it, and don't give excuses.
I do this a lot too, so I understand that it's natural to justify yourself. In fact, when lightspeedtitan put that report up about me not doing my job, I mailed him a long essay explaining exactly my thoughts and why I did not kick those people. When I asked him what he thought about it, he said "All I see are excuses" and I realized he was right. Though they were my thoughts, and they were pretty valid reasons for not kicking those people, that's not how it came off as and I needed to change that.
After that I accepted his criticism and moved on.
But you also need to learn to accept criticism and change, don't excuse yourself saying "It was a month ago and I've changed." Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But you could have just told monkey thank you for your input and bettered yourself from that criticism.

Anyway, if you haven't figured out by now, I'm a -1.
I'm sorry, you're still a good friend of mine, but I was at a -1 for helper too. You barely joined or interacted with the community before you applied. You needed more time and still do.

Annoying
Immature
Kicked me for harassment when I told him that he needs to learn why people dislike him.(I received no warning )
Kicked me for slander when I told him that nobody likes him.

 

-1 your aren't ready

-immature
-abusive with power(you never should have been handling crushers luring case! He has done so much for the server and you threat it like a joke! When that happened I was actually very mad....)
-lacks enough time/experience
-you are inactive on forums

I personally did like you at first but I came to really see the true side of you. All you want is more power so you can threaten people and keep abusing it but now be able to perm ban. Also really why would you be handling crushers luring case! This had so high stakes and you pretty much stalked the entire time because you lack knowledge on how really to conduct something like that! Also I don't think it is very smart to put a very immature person into being a mod! Really it makes no sense what so ever.

Meep player base is going down every day and do we want to put a power crazy mod in? That would just continue to make meep lose even more people. For someone applying for mod you are very inactive on forums... Idk even if many people really do know you......

I really think you just need to work on your maturity and stop abusing your power and you would be a great mod! So please work on that and you can have a +1 . Sorry man but I can't just watch and see something like this go down. Good luck

 

I just wanted to point out that you are always there to help me. anytime I need someone on to help with modreqs, you are there and jump in without me even asking most times. your efforts in helping other helpers is seen and very appreciated. I feel that you go above and beyond in most cases but have a few weak areas. Those can be worked on though I feel that your work with hawkeye is quite good and I'm anxious to see where being on the staff team takes you.

 

You've had some mishaps but that can be addressed in an interview
You're active
I believe you have the highest modreq count on the team
You're on teamspeak
You're on forums
You're in game
You're nice
+1

 

I've seen you threaten to kick people for no viable reason. Sorry, -1

 

Basically, this.
Personally, I've been on board with a demotion rather than promotion. Nothing personal, I still love you, but.
You act immature and rude, and are sometimes annoying, and while you have a pretty good work ethic, sometimes you take being silly way to far. For example, I think it was a week? Maybe more after you got helper, you toggled town pvp, punched me into a hole, and I died. This wasn't 30 seconds after I came back from being AFK too.
I don't want a rule breaker as staff. even if that was a month ago, it still very much matters to me.
I'm sorry if this post came off as a bit rude, but I had to get my point across. I'm sorry Bobjon, -1.

EDIT
I had devilspawn come over to get proof - ask her if you deem it necessary Jon.

 

if abbythrowsstuff is all staff then of course,

-1 I saw chat fire up once with harrasment and you said when someone asked you to moderate the chat you said -"can't, I'm on break"

 

To be honest, I don't think you are fit for the Moderator position yet. I've seen you make bad decisions in the duration when I was still staff, and I've also seen you threaten to kick people for reasons that aren't in the rules section. Just as flamedemond2 says, 'Quality over quantity.' For example, a staff member could claim 20 modreq abuse modreqs, and claim very few hacking reports or such, but the count becomes fairly high. Many staff members are also a bit biased when banning/kicking (including me). It's different when you ban someone you know than when you ban a random player who you've never even seen before. There were some cases where you kicked some citizens for something, then you didn't do anything when donators did the exact same thing, until others pointed that out in shout.

Also, your forums activity isn't top-notch either, and I see you arguing with others all the time. 131 posts isn't close to my standards, especially when they aren't good, long, posts. In your staff application and many other places, you like quoting others to give off excuses about why you did that certain thing wrong. That's not the right attitude, to be pushing things off until you have to pay the price. It's kind of like procrastinating, where you stare at your screen for a full hour then realize you have a huge project due the next day. Admit what you do wrong, and work on it; that's how you get better at something. In my first couple of months of being staff, I always pulled off the 'good excuse.' When people tell me why I do something wrong, I responded with 'Nobody's perfect.' Nobody may be perfect, but at least try do it to the best of abilities, or work on it so you get less negative feedback.

You may be active in game, but most of the times I just see you playing around, or leaving things only partially done. I remember very clearly about all those times when there were wrong bans for bad reasons that didn't make any sense at all. It's not just you, there were others.

Another point I would like to make. If it's just a small typo as you said, then there wouldn't be that much of a need to edit your application. It's not as if there was a server name that you forgot to blot out, or a typo that sounded like a ref. I'm a perfectionist, but you don't have to edit just for a measly word change.

I like people who are kind of sarcastic, playful, and/or care-free, but faces in applications aren't really professional. I find you quite immature compared to others. It's actually nice to play around every now and then, but when you need to be serious, I don't find you up to the task. Experience is another thing. You haven't exactly spent much time as a Helper; 5 weeks isn't enough. But then again, it's about how you spend those 5 weeks rather than how long you do nothing for.

It's good to see there are many staff member still communicating with the main player base very often, but you've made many mistakes, based on experience and what I've heard from some others.

1 butt kiss

2 butt kiss
Man you're getting good...


Now before people complain this "wasn't constructive" or some other form of bs to get me in trouble, -1
-you're incredibly immature
-I could give less craps about the modreqs you do as you don't do them properly(you ignored me or cut me off multiple times)
-why the hell are you even helper in the first place?
-I'm not even going to say that you're active because even though you're online you are mostly screwing around or doing a halfway job as a helper.
Basically, learn to use yor time better, don't be ignorant during modreqs, try (and I mean really try as this may be hard for you) to be mature, even if you aren't atleast fake it til you make it.

Your activity is great.

 

Everything said above.
-1, I really don't think you're ready for the mod position.
