aside from being a great friend, an easy to talk to person in general they’ve done everything to reform themselves as a model cm player

player in question has taken steps to improve their image, improve their behavior and treat everyone differently according to their needs

player went from rarely talking to roleplaying an actual character, a marine and a predator of my clan

i’d be a fool not to support him in my position, i’d be glad to take you under my wing and teach you the dark magic

good luck

Alright, I’m going to be the lame skeptical guy.

You’ve said yourself, and others have mentioned you have an extensive, to say the least history. How exactly, in your own words have you changed? How are you different from when you got all your bans/notes?

2ndly, this application feels very low effort. I’m well aware it’s far from the most important aspect, but you gave a one sentence response to all 3 of the questions, and couldn’t even bother to add proper grammar and punctuation. I’m not trying to be pedantic but do you really think that a moderator app doesn’t deserve at least a bit of effort?

I have no real opinion as I don’t think we ever really interacted in game or on the discord. (nor does my opinion really matter). But I do think you could’ve elaborated a bit more here.

also uh, I’ve been bothering people about it but it’s worth asking given recent apps, is your “No, not really” an actual no, or have you moderated ss13 before but only for a very short period of time?

It’s a difference in mentality and overall look on the game and community, I have shown great efforts to reform myself and maintain a clean slate since my unban. Examples being… Removing my self from problematic influences, HEAVILY reducing my previous problematic behaviors when dealing with staff and ruling and increasing the level of roleplay I bring to the server in important roles in hopes of influencing others to do the same.

For question 2, I feel that these questions don’t require paragraphs to answer. I personally think keeping things short and to the point reduces clutter and possible confusion.

For the whole ‘’ No, Not really ‘’ thing, I mean No, I have no experience with moderation aside from very small friend based communities.

I have to ask a question I ask of every moderator applicant. Have you ever been a moderator or greater on another server and removed for misconduct? If so, why did you not disclose this?

‘‘For the whole ‘’ No, Not really ‘’ thing, I mean No, I have no experience with moderation aside from very small friend based communities.’’ No, I have not.

@Strob. Thank you for answering honestly. Again, it is not personal. In my opinion it should be a standard question on the application. With all that out of the way:

Man still smells like maple syrup. Massive +1. Great person. Man had been on the other side of the tracks and done well. Full faith and confidence.

As someone who’s been keeping an eye on applications ever since I became staff, I can safely say that all of these questions do not require a paragraph.

Like many others, I wasn’t impressed by your behaviour when you first started out, and didn’t believe people when they said you had gotten better. But in all the recent rounds I’ve seen with you, you’ve definitely mellowed out quite a bit. We never really interacted in a significant capacity, let alone talked to one another in game, but given everyone else who has says your reformation is the real deal, I believe it.

I strongly believe that someone with your unique perspective would be a great asset to the staff team. You’re someone who can relate and understand people who were once in your shoes. Perhaps I’m being idealistic, but maybe you’ll be able to set them on the right path, instead of them getting permabanned. Who knows, maybe it’ll actually work?

I’ll just say that the complete lack of proper spelling and grammar didn’t persuade me, I’ll be honest. Generally answers are more than a few words, and said words are spelled correctly.

But I’m not stupid and this seems to be an actual, real, app. The response you (Strobia that is, I’m responding to both you and stalkerino in one post because I’m lazy) gave me seemed coherent, and I can highly respect your desire to change.

+1. You’d be a good addition to the staff team.

Hello lolvax1,

Thank you for taking the time to apply, and I apologize for the extreme delay in your response. I see you are getting a lot of love from the community, and that’s great to see! I personally quite like you as well, but unfortunately there are too many considerations towards bringing you onto the staff team at this time. For the sake of your own privacy, I will not expand on this position here. If you would like more detailed feedback, please feel free to reach out to me on the discord or here on the forums.

Again, thank you for your interest, but this application is denied.
