    Currently at a +/-, your app is good but your history with being a staff member is giving me some trouble on what to decide on for a vote.

    Good luck!

    Hey Megan,

    I like your application, it was nicely done. I know that you tried to address things regarding your demotion, but what you are saying is not realistic. So first, you are thinking about preparing for college and doing a serious study there. (I hope) That is very great to hear from you! Yet, you can play five to seven hours of Minecraft every day, in addition to your studies and hanging out with your friends? It just doesn't add up for me, unless you are not spending that much time in your studies or if you are taking a really easy course (which is none of my business), or if you are not getting enough sleep. Either way, that is not a good way to spend time as a staff member, and I'm afraid that you are going to be exhausted and will not be able to do your work well.
    Regarding your work, from the last time you were staff, I hate to say this but you did not leave much of an impression. It looked like you were always a bit moody and emotional. You still have anxiety as one of your weaknesses, and that makes me hesitant. What do you have in mind that only you can contribute to the server?
    Concerning your demotion, you need to realize that it's been only three months since. I personally would never want anyone with a leaking history on staff team ever again, since leaking impedes the progress of this server by causing unnecessary drama and even more confusion. I like your efforts to address it but "realizing it as purely stupid" isn't enough of an explanation to be given a third chance, if any explanation would be worth another chance, in my opinion.

    ^ Very much agreed


    Unless you can drastically improve on your anxiety, and give a solid explanation as to how leaking will never happen again under your watch, I have no reasons to support you for a staff position.

    I haven't started college yet so these are the average times that I am currently doing right now, I already have my schedule so I can see when I will be able to come online and not, I can't give an exact time schedule on Meep as I'm unaware on what I'm currently going through, as of now I don't have any friends but as I said that might also change but I don't like to go outside as a whole, my anxiety will honest NOT ever change as you wanted 'drastically' instantly, as it will take a while and my social anxiety will go through the roof while just starting college, that will even out I know that, but I can say this, I have nothing on the weekend, and Mondays, the only day I might not be able to play Meep for 5 hours+ is Thursday, as I am in college til' 6:30pm, my schedule isn't too rough and it's fairly open to consider the amount of time I have for Meep with strict timings with 8:45 - 3:15 at school. I will also pop online during my breaks on the Thursday just to keep everything in check if I do happen to get accepted, now, regarding the leaking, I can promise everyone 100% that the leaking will stop, period. I had a few weeks thinking to myself about why would people not staff NEED to know what's happening with the staff team, what use does it do for them? nothing, I get nothing out of leaking apart from a talking to and a demotion, and it's not the route I want to go through, they don't need the information of such and such a thing, no matter if they say they do or not, I realised what is said in the staff chat must STAY in the chat unless told otherwise by people or said in a thread on Meep, it's not vital that they now before anyone else, they don't need the information, as it puts pressure on the staff team as players are talking to them about it and asking questions such as 'I heard Such and such a thing about what's going to happen with This, Can you tell me when the said thing is coming out and why we need it?' it makes the staff annoyed as they're trying to do what they need to do and people are always questioning that stops them from accomplishing what someone has said in the time that it would have done if they happened to not leak it. non staff shouldn't know information like this as it has no effect on them. it doesn't change the way Meep was until it is said about my a staff, regarding my personal demotion I was demoted for leaking a particular conversation about Kling and Klutch, now, after getting the demotion message, it made me think that with that once piece of information that I leaked, that people will think that the staff team do not get along as a team, there is no communication behind the walls of the team, and that's completely false, I leaked that part and look where it got me, it gave me no progress, just something to talk about for 10 minutes and it's all blown away by me and then I get the demotion. it doesn't do me, or the server any help and I realised that by having a long hard think to myself and realising how dumb what I did was. Leaking will be something I don't want anyone to partake in if they get the chance of being staff, it didn't end well for me and it the same will happen if I do so again, I thought to myself saying 'is there a need?' when I realised there really isn't. it just gets chat flaring up about something that isn't even there and stops the staff team from efficiently producing something to help Meep. and also, my first demotion was a mistake, I don't want to go blaming anyone or calling names but it was just a misunderstanding, that I falsely went blind to, now that I think of it, it was like a test to see how I would react to leaking, and I just ignored it, I thought 'ok it wasn't me I'm fine' I wasn't. I was no where near fine. from that day on I figured they were paying very close attention to what I was doing and I was blind to see what I really was doing. I was a staff with a routine that didn't help me well, I blabbed about every single thing that was negative about the team in which that happened and I look down upon myself just because of what I did, as leaking specific parts just add up to something that is false, rather than leaking new perks and etc, but it was truly dumb and I'm not sure how else to word it to you that I honestly hate the fact that I leaked myself and ruined what I loved doing most, I loved helping people I love the relationships I built with other staff members, I loved what I was participating in, and I went and ruined it for myself all because of one episode of me not thinking to myself and saying 'why am I doing this?' I never said that or thought it so I never thought as to what I was doing. now that I think back on it I would have happily slapped myself at just the thought of doing so.

    I was mostly doing modreqs, with me having fairly bad anxiety at the time I didn't know what I would be good at, just before the demotion I said I would help with the adverts that pop up every so often as I became more 'out of my shell' than I was, now that I think about it, @Natsu was right. I made no mark on Meep than what I was hoping to. I mean it's one of the reasons I wanted to apply again because I feel that I didn't accomplish what I wanted to.

    Edit: I didn't think that would be so long

    I am neutral for the fact I just constantly saw you giving out incorrect information. You're fine as a helper but you were never ready for mod. Like myself you were going for smod but I didn't see you going out of your way to do the things that make you fit for the position.
    I understand making a mark on meep is difficult. The team has thrown out hours and hours of my work on outlines and I never really got one thing changed but yet I kept going anyway. I signed up for everything and when I didn't have anything to help with I'd go and find something that needed to be fixed/changed. I think that you needed longer in helper position to be comfortable as a mod because even though you weren't comfortable you still sought a promotion. I heard you tended to step on other staff members toes too. You could also be really rude to someone and then really upset the next.
    I think you tended to be bias towards friends and that you liked the chat color more than the chat title. I was playing everyday before this last week and I didn't see you in tab at all (I have global muted so I could be 100% wrong on your activity levels).
    About leaking, I don't take leaking demotions seriously as time and time again they've been used as an excuse to get someone off the team when literally I've not met a staff member who didn't leak. Not once. Some of the best staff members were the worst leakers. Cluelessklutz I think is the only person who wouldn't leak even when pressured. (Although he's leaked small things on accident too). I know a bit more to this particular demotion's story than most people and there is a bit more to it than mentioned (nothing on the fault of Vex however) but either way leaking demotions are pretty dumb because they tend to pick and choose who gets demoted for it.
    Tbh I think you should get an interview and a chance as helper if the team is ok with it. But take your time to learn everything before telling people things you aren't sure is true or that you heard someone say. When you make assumptions in global it has consequences.

    thanks for the message, Hestia, I was told myself I wasn't ready for mod and I knew that, if I did happen to get the other chance at staff again I wouldn't mind being Helper for longer as I just love doing what I did as helper.

    Lovely response. Though I do like that answer, I still have my doubts. As well as what I mentioned in spongey's post, with you being able to contribute to the team, we'll just have to see. I remain with my neutral vote, yet I lean more towards a -1. I'm not taking into consideration the fact that you leaked. Cause we all leak at times. But I'm looking at other facts and thoughts that float around my head.

    You're a really nice, bubble, charismatic meeper. You'e also knowledgable as you've had previous experience on the team. But the fact that you did leak sets it down a little. I know you've probably learnt from your mistake which is good but if you do get on the team just try not to make any other mistakes, it's worse the second time.

    Good luck!!!!

    To tell someone to just "work on anxiety" is so much easier said than done, it's nothing she can just magically change overnight, and perhaps not even over a couple of years. Depending on how bad your anxiety it can take control of everyday actions/thoughts etc.

    Regardless, I do not know enough of this leak situation so I'll keep out of it but use towards an assessment, from what I know you seem sweet from small conversations in-game, I have not been around long enough(these days) to say you have been helping, but I'll take the other players word for it, also the fact you reached staff last time, that being said this little leak situation seems to have gotten out of hand, I do hope it was sorted out. At this point in time I am sure you'll do fine this time given the chance.+Support

    Any reason you should be accepted into staff when you purposely ignore your boyfriends toxicity in shout?

    I am on call with him 24/7 when we were online. I never said anything in chat because I was telling him irl to stop. there has also been instances he has done and I have told him in chat, I'm not ignoring him, I'm telling him elsewhere from meep and he didn't acknowledge what I said and thus the ban was taken in place.

    So for instance your get staff and your the only one online and Magnoot starts acting up. You are just going to talk to him outside of meep? What if he doesn't stop, are you going to ban him?

    Either way you have to convince the staff team that you are willing to handle that or you really can't do the job.

    as staff previously I have kicked Magnoot and I will talk to him in game as well as out of meep so he is aware that I shan't be biased just because of our relationship, I wouldn't hesitate to do the necessary just as long as I have the clear evidence that he is worthy of the ban that I give him if so

    You being staff and moderating Magnoot is the definition of a bias. For example you looking at "clear evidence that he is worth of the ban" is the problem because clear evidence and how to handle punishment a judgement decision which you are bias to. That is not to say that you couldn't handle dealing with someone you don't know but it is highly doubtful that you could handle dealing with a friend. So I guess what I'm trying to say is while Magnoot is banned there may not be a problem with you being staff but if he gets unbanned you become a liability to the staff team.

    That wasn't the wording I was going for, I am meaning to say I shan't hesitate to ban him if the issues occur, so long as there is the evidence that a ban needs to be taken in place, I know that what I'm applying for means that I need to be equal for everyone including friends.

    I don't think you understand what I'm saying, the idea that you, "shan't hesitate to ban him if the issues occur, so long as there is the evidence that a ban needs to be", is flawed. Specifically, "a ban needs", is true and also means that a staff member needs to use judgement which you are impaired in, because it is impossible for you to separate the fact that you are dating with the need to punish. So again I saw as long as that situation doesn't arise who cares but it will happen and you will be impaired in your judgement of the situation meaning you should not be a member of the staff team.
