Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from Blue_marlin98

Heya.
So we are friends. and we chill. But I see several issues with this app.
For one, you aren't very mature, especially in public. You almost seem more mature when you're messing around in message, and tbh thats weird. You should be more mature in global. you can't just say ''oh excuse my caps evade, I was excited'' That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. That is absolutely no excuse to break a rule. Especially when you're trying to be mature and go for something like this. Because staff go through the filter, I can see you rather heavily abusing that. And of course you know the occasional couple letters is fine, every staff does it, but we dont take it to the extremes you do with your caps evasion.

You also raged, a lot after gamma came out, cursing and evading and all, and thats no good. Shows lack of dedication to the server in general.

For right now, if you really want this, cut way back on the immaturity and try to be positive and helpful and make yourself a good member of the community. It may take some time.

Poor @Muunkee, always Afk.

However, it is true you have a different schedule than the majority of the team. But, are you available at a moments' notice if your phone dings because there aren't any staff on? And once you're on, can you handle 60-70 people on your own?

I don't ask these to suggest that you're not up to the job, but I'd like to see how you respond.

 

Well then, didn't expect this coming. I work on the same town staff, for crying out loud.

Anyways, onto a true evaluation. So, ever since you mentioned applying back in June, I've watched to see how you improved on things people have asked about. Here's what I've observed:

Marlin, you have a huge heart. There are lots of people who don't like you, but you still love people. Compassionate, kind, and many words like those all describe you. You can talk with people, and never hold back when it comes to that.

On the other hand, you can be very, very immature. Often, you will say things without ever really thinking it through. The same applies to how you react to actions. Despite being very good 1v1 with people, you do tend to argue when global gets heated. Words have a good deal of power, which is why I'd like to see you improve on thinking "How will this affect the person I am speaking to?" If it's negative, then consider why you are even saying that. One major concern I have currently is activity. If I'm honest, I haven't really seen you that much since the update. I understand you've been busy and in the hospital, but that just means you should wait before applying. In addition, this application is fairly weak. If I didn't know you from personal experience, I'd have no idea who this was.

Now, I don't mean to be hateful, or anything of the sort, but as your friend and co-worker, I wanted to be completely honest. As of right now, I don't see you as a staff member.

 

As I said, maturity is definately your biggest weakness. Spamming applications, even if they are more spaced apart, will be just as effective as spamming /buy when you're trying to sell items. It doesn't matter how many times you apply if you haven't changed anything in the first place.

If you want some advice, or help, I'm here; anytime you feel like it.
