My two bucks (because I won't stop talking when I should and two cents is basically worthless):
1. The staff team was picked over time from a pool of people. Those who are there are those with the qualities that the server staff felt important. Positivity perhaps may be one of those qualities. As someone else said earlier, no one likes a debbie downer.
2. Changing the server from family friendly is a dangerous act. I figured I should mention this before anyone picked it up as their mantle. I understand that a large majority of this server is teenagers, but:
a) Some people may just enjoy being with people better when they reserve themselves enough to do things such as avoid swearing.
b) Being family friendly scares off way less people then a non-family friendly server.
c) I can't see any way that making the server not family friendly will attract people to the server willing to contribute to the community. If someone doesn't feel they have self control to not swear in chat, then why would they have the self control to not start flame wars or be generally toxic?
3. If @VKL_ReWinDzz wants staff then he should reapply with enough effort put into his application. That's what staff wanted at the very least: effort.
4. I'd say there are different levels of maturity. Choosing to not conform for conformity's sake is a good level, choosing to conform while still remaining yourself so as to not insult others is a greater level, as this requires not just understanding, but control as well.
