Best Posts in Thread: Monkeyhead1999's Helper App.

As a staff member you originally did fairly well on modreqs etc however you got lazy. Modreq count slipped, attitude was very poor, and you were a general annoyance among most the staff. After your demotion (and slightly before) you began making a lot of negative comments about meepcraft and the staff that represent it. While you may disagree with it, an important part of staff is working as a whole not matter how much you dislike another person. This is very important because they represent the server and make collective decisions. Showing the players that we do otherwise shows discord and creates a negative atmosphere that the players see as well as the other staff. I do not believe you will change any time soon.

-1. One cannot fix maturity problems in a matter of days. I have no idea how you currently act in-game, and however collected you seem, there is no way you are completely clean. I've seen you boast before, so I question if you want to be a helper for the right reasons. I have first hand experience because that's how I acted when I was staff long ago. It's been over a year, and I certainly know I wasn't magically matured 2 weeks after i was demoted.

Nothing stands out to me about you that makes me want you over the next person.


I honestly don't understand the process of the staff today. It seems to me that standards have been exponentially lowered for this post-MN era.

Please continue this conversation in another forum or pm. This is a thread evaluating Monkey's readiness for helper.

The thing I don't approve of about this application is that you applied EXACTLY two weeks after being demoted. It gives off this aura of impatience that I find quite unpleasant. I would say if I knew you didn't count the days to this app, I would +1 it wholeheartedly. However, since you did I'll say +.5 because I think you have learned from your mistakes.

I think you've changed a lot. Plus, everyone makes mistakes. I made a ton as helper and still make them as mod. As long as you can recognize a mistake, there's no harm in making them.

Introduction:

Hello. I'm monkey, obviously, but in real life I'm Alexia, or just Alex. In the little thing we call the real world, I like to draw and be artsy, play both electric and bass guitar, Do Scottish dance, and do Pikiti Tirsia Kali, which is Filipino martial arts. I have two brothers, a 7 year old and a mostly-deaf three year old. Because of the 3 year old's hearing problems we are all learning sign language, and I'll be going to college to be an interpreter for deaf kids.
I've been playing on Meep since August 29, 2013, but I started to be really active within the community in mid-December. I got helper, the first time, on March 19, and was demoted two weeks ago on may 22. I got demoted for, basically, not being professional enough. I was also a bit immature, and I made of bunch of tiny stupid mistakes that led to a few big stupid mistakes. During the last two weeks I have worked on this, and think that I deserve a second chance.

Why you should be Helper?

· Experience

When I got helper the first time, My helpfulness was at a perfect level according to other staff members. I always try my best to help in shout and when someone asks me something in msg. I am experienced in the position now and know that I can resolve modreqs in a thoroughly and in a timely manner. I know and remember all of the hawkeye commands, and the modreq commands, and everything that I need to be a good helper!

· Work Ethic

No matter how hard the issue presents itself to be, or distractions at the time, I always try to do my best. While sometimes my best is NOT always how efficiently a different staff member could resolve the problem, but I'll make sure that the person that asked is happy with his/her answer and has no other questions.

· Dedication

When I was helper, I made sure that as many modreqs were answered as quickly and efficiently as possible, and that anyone asking anything in shout would be answered by someone. I'd try not to go AFK for more then a few minutes at a time, especially when I was busy.

· Involvement

I talk in shout as much as I can, but it's not much. I enjoy talking to players via Teamspeak and skype more, as I enjoy the feel of talking to a real person, in real life, right here, right now. The power of the voice is amazing, and enjoyable.

· Performance

The goal for helpers in 10 modreqs a day. I always tried to get 12-15. on a day when I was tired due to my sleeping issues, or when I was sick, I would do at least 5-10. Helping people, especially the newer players with getting their first town or directing them to a rank seller, is fun in my opinion, and should be easy and a good representation of the community and staff team for the player.



Weaknesses:

Sometimes, even when I know the answer, I don't always explain myself in the manner that makes the most sense. It will make sense to me, but not so much to the person who asked. I try not to make mistakes and re-explain the answer to the said question if needed.

I have a few of those buttons. When someone pushes that button, I'll get a bit upset, but I usually stay calm online, and go AFK for a few minutes to calm down and I'm fine. Normally these button-pushing instances are rare and only happen via TS instances, and in game, no one ever knows.

I can be immature from time to time. I like to have fun and I take it to far sometimes. I understand that this has to be fixed and I'm working on it.

Conclusion:

Honestly, I miss being helper. It's not just yellow chat and a few new perms. It's making the community as a whole happy with a little bit of work. Work I'm willing to do and I hope you see that. The staff chat was amazing and enjoyable. After a few weeks, I got cocky and rude at times, I realize my mistakes, and I won't do it again. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. Thanks for reading this guys, I really appreciate it
