Helper Application from PseudoPlatonic

We've only talked once or twice, and I don't know you very well, so I am looking at this from a neutral third person perspective with no personal opinions.

Evidence is showing that you have some immature sides to yourself, and I see that you recognize it and admit it. Immaturity is something that improves only from personal effort, not from outside pressure. I agree that you can improve over time and become a great, mature staff member.

People have strong and unfavorable opinions about you being a staff member, and they might be right. However, those are all created from the past and you cannot change the past no matter how hard you work.

I can predict that you have been really nice and helpful to people that you favor, and toxic to people who argues with you. It is very easy to become toxic. It is not so easy to redeem the toxicity. I understand that.

However, there are a few problems with you right now if you become a staff member, in my opinion. First, your playing time is really short, and there is no way that you can help so many people if you only play 1-2 hours a day. I can only play that much as well, and I agree that Minecraft shouldn't be the priority in life. However, more effort will be needed as a staff member for sure. Second, most of us new players have not seen you talk and help. Those "hi meep"s and "welcome!"s are really important in creating connections, I believe. Third, due to your inexperience as staff, I don't think you realize how much work and seriousness it takes not just to be staff, and not just to stay as staff, but to really help others.

I am certain that you will be able to become a great staff member. However, I agree with others that you need more time to help the community before you get the job. Therefore, I am a little leaned towards -0.5

PS: Polygamy has nothing to do with this. It is a social culture that should be respected, and not joked about. If both men and women believe that it is right in their culture, we have absolutely no right to judge them.

 

Hey, thanks for the long and constructive post.
A few points I'd like to make here:

1) I do try and help people equally, but of course I have my favorites. Every person has their favorite players that they tend to respect more.
2) The playing time I described is average for the time staff members will put into the server. Take CluelessKlutz for example. I believe he's an ideal staff member in terms of his character, and he only plays an hour or so on weekdays, sometimes not at all. It's not how long you play (to an extent) but what you do when you play.
3) I try to welcome and help people, but things do come up, and often they occur when people joined the server for the first time. I say "hey meep" every single time I log in.

4) I strongly believe that staff experience is irrelevant when trying to apply for staff. I say this because most staff here have never had experience before moderating this server, and it's a catch-22 scenario that would play out if it was relevant. Also, I'm aware of what is needed to be a good staff, from what I've seen from staff that I look up to.

 

I get your point.

I agree that most staff here have favorites, and that is okay. However, that doesn't mean that you should be toxic to others.
Maybe I just don't see you in chat. I don't know, but I feel like Clueless is way more active.

Good luck,

I can only imagine what new players would think if they saw player named XxP00pBl0ckxX as a helper. Also the original p00pbl0ck was banned for this name and Adam34falcon was just banned for this name 4 months ago.

 

It will be in affect until 11/1/16 and I will revert back to PseudoGod.

 

We shouldn't be judging a person by his name. However I can see that this is inappropriate for the server too. Hold this until November? Lol

He can use the month to prove himself to the community.

someone just change your name to PseudoGod then never change it again. lol xd

 

I have 4 names currently available that I prefer over PseudoGod. I wouldn't mind the loss.

 

"To address this ban, we must ask ourselves an important question. Do we really want a player named xxpoopblockxx playing on this server? What example does this set for the children that play on this server? Are we sending children the message that being a block of poop is acceptable? We must rise above this and remove the Poop Block immediately. Please go poop somewhere else. Denied."
