Helper Application from etha_lightflame

I was gonna do SpiderJel's app but since it got denied early I'll do some feedback on yours. (See app for my comments)

Looking at your application, you have some glaring issues with your ability to type in clarity and may raise additional questions:

1) Are you really 16? It seems unlikely that a 16 year old would type like this, especially in British Columbia. The only reason I could see this being acceptable is if you are Bi-lingual, but since you do not disclaim this in your app, we can't assume that.
2) What unique aspect would you bring to the staff team? There are a lot of staff members right now, and to be desirable, you have to stand out against any other candidate. This application seems quite generic and doesn't go far enough to describe why you SHOULD be a helper.
3) Are you trying to stretch the truth on some aspects to seem more appealing? I ask this, since you say you're online upwards to 12 hours a day on the weekends, but then say you will then be less active in October, without saying that in the appropriate section. Also, as previously mentioned, I don't know whether or not you're 16. You can be honest with your age; There have been 11-year-old supermods in the past.

I'm at a -1 for now.

 

I am going to -1.
I'm doing this because of the simple fact that you have given me nothing positive - I have not seen you positive and helpful in shout, I've seen no maturity, nothing. The best way for you to give me a positive, your why section..

Its very very lacking in detail and in information whatsoever. Your one place to give me good information on this app, you did not, and the rest of your app further proved that you are not at the level of maturity that staff requires.
Also, Ladycass's post is highly concerning to me. It seems that your intentions are not in the right places.
Show me maturity, show me what good you can do, and apply again in a month or so.

 

Hey Etha,
I've been listening and observing you for the last couple days on teamspeak and in game. I've talked to you on teamspeak and your a nice guy, Im glad you got teamspeak and increased your forums activity. Yet, you have not proven to me that you have what it takes to be a staff member, I don't see maturity from you nor do I see you helping. I suggest when working on your future application make it detailed and mature the next time you apply. Work on your maturity, application, and helping others and apply in a month or so.
My overall vote, -1.

 

After working with you on teamapeak and in game I am changing my vote to a +1 for interview despite the poor application. If you are denied come to me and I'll give you some tips and pointers as someone who's written their fair share of apps.
I've seen nothing but good things from you lately.
Go rock that interview!

 

I think its great gopd good Job fella you're helper now wow wo owowowow +1

 

My vote is neutral -/+ you had some positives but a lot of negatives, But I wish you the best of luck!

 

Hey etha. So,
You're a friend, a kind one at that. You're fun to talk to and know how to act generally. You've been trying your best to improve and work towards this position, which is great! However, I don't believe that you quite know what this position entails. I believe that you think it's just modreqs and helping out players in general, but it's more than that. You have much more responsibility than you do as a player, I'm not saying you won't be able to handle it, but that you might not be prepared for what's to come down this path. Next, your application. It didn't quite contain the information it should. The why was lacking, it didn't help me understand why you should be a helper. Don't let this put you down, I know you can keep heading in the right direction. As for my vote, I stand at a -0.5. If I hadn't had met you on teamspeak and had some good talks with you, I would have been a sure -1 due to immaturity. I now know where you're heading, and it's great

 

Hey Etha,
Were really proud of you for improving on things and working on your weaknesses, I do see improvement in you, but as a staff team we believe you need more time. If your still confused on what to work on you can look at the good criticism people gave you on your application. Also, if you want to talk about it feel free to start a conversation with me on forums or in game.
