Best Posts in Thread: Mrli1's Helper Application.

Hello mrli1 -

I have seen quality work and help from you recently and in the past. Even when you were a young citizen, you were always helping. I remember when I was a newer member, remarking that I was looking for a job, and you had me lay out tons of stone brick and wood for your little town. That was awesome getting to work with you on that.

I don't mind that you came back in December. A person can change A LOT in 3 months. I know I have, and a lot of my friends have.

Activity:
In-game:
Fairly decent, I am only an hour ahead of you, and I see a lot of you in /shout helping and just going with the flow in the community. I understand the grade aspect of online time, and I don't think that will necessarily be a problem.
Forums:
You are fairly active with almost 1000 posts at the time of writing this post (996). You post often on staff apps, if not every single one of them. You are in Q&A very frequently responding to questions quickly and efficiently. I have no doubt that you will stay active on the forums if you do become a staff member.
TeamSpeak:
I have seen you more and more on TS the past few days. I love that you are getting to participate in another aspect of the community.

The Application:
The application overall was decent, however I think it could have been better. It was sort of the same thing over and over again. "I've seen hawkeye and how to use it" was basically what I got from your 'Why' section. I really would of liked to see an expansion on that part of the application.

The most important section to me is the weaknesses section. When someone points out a weakness that he/she has, I am glad that they see them. It is hard for someone to talk negatively about themselves. Immaturity is something I do not like to see in a staff member at all. I haven't seen much from you, and I hope I don't get to see much more from you. Overall, you are mature for your age as I thought you were a little older when I recently talked to you. The rage/impatience aspect is HUGE for me. I understand that one can get frustrated and impatient if someone does treat someone like that; however, staff need to deal with this on a day to day basis. If someone doesn't respond to your /msg's, you need to be patient and make sure they know how/teach them how to. If someone is being rude, all that one can do is sit back and take a deep breath. I don't ever want to see a staff member rage at someone. It does not represent staff well, and staff are meant to represent the community in a positive way. we are here to encourage and help people.

Overall:
I don't really have a score for you because I think I need to see more from you before I can give a correct score.

Either way, good luck with the process!

EDIT:
Also, when I released my Moderator application a couple months ago, you posted with in minutes that you thought my application was great. You hadn't even read it unless you read it at the speed of light. I see you post on a ton of applications that just come out, and sometimes I don't think they are honest scores. It is more just like you are posting your opinion of the person instead of what they are applying for.

Also, you are just liking the posts that went in depth or gave you a + and not a minus. My suggestion would be to either like all of them (the person took the time to read your application and write back to you), or not like any of them.

 

Oh my god, please no. You cannot take criticism, I had a post on you wall saying something (Can't remember what) about you, it was criticism and you got all mad and then after a few days you deleted the post. Also, you constantly post -1s on apps. I have never actually seen you give a +1, even for the most experienced of players. Whenever I look at an app it's always the same reason or something. And your maturity....... Don't even get me started on that, okay? Oh, and when you post on apps I honestly think it's just to get your posts up so you could apply. You also said you would not apply, which I said you would and you did, hmph. It's an obvious -1.

 

-1
You're not active and I've seen more than my fair share of immaturity from you. Also, I don't think you have a concept of how staff fundamentally works and its hard to really explain that but, my best little tidbit is that you constantly comment on helper->mod apps that you don't see the person enough in shout, you just don't seem to fully understand what staff do and what it takes to be a mod. I did actually enjoy your app, the bulleted stuff is really nice for me, personally, because I just like having it clear and concise.

 

I'm sorry, but I simply don't think you have the maturity enquired for a staff position.

 

MRLI,
ahem
Instead of addressing positive traits, I will address the negative ones.

I see a lot of people mentioning that you are "a little mean on forums" and whatnot.
May I add that @abbythrowsstuff occasionally posts sarcastic comments that could be taken as mean.
This does not, however, impact her ability to moderate, and at that, to moderate well.

Knowing you, you can be a little immature at times.
What I want is a mod with personality, not an emotionless mod who is unapproachable.

+1 from qaw <3

 

-1 a pattern that I've realized after this is that every thing that you say is good follows up with a negative. That shows you aren't very confident with what you're doing. I also see you being very immature a lot and a bit mean. Your activity is ok you're just not using it in the best ways you can.
