SA HansTheKitten Mod Application -Norway

lmao if you read it properly you'll find it is actually quite informative, yet concise. You've only looked at the big parts which are the "banter" sections of the app. I'm sometimes salty myself, but that statement has got to be one of the most coldest and audacious responses I've seen on an legitimate application in a long time.

As a moderator I think you would know the moderator requirements.


Neutral, for now.

• I've heard you around, so that's a good thing, but also sort of bad. I should able to know you well, not just have "heard" of you.
• Maybe be a bit more serious in your application? It was quite humorous to see some fun in the application, do mind me but I dislike seriousness in an application, there needs to be something to break the ice. But it was a bit too much.
• Work on the responses a bit better, they come off as an immature person responding to peoples opinions.
• Contribute to the community by looking at suggestions, applications, and posting reports. It is quite strenuous to do this all the time, but it's worth it, trust me.

 

How I like where you are going, however the way that is phrased starts off with a very sarcastic tone, and then goes to a sincere, which throws one off a bit.
When it comes to going to bed, you see I am currently on vacation, which sadly I only have a week of, and as such, I intend to make the most of it, which includes staying up later than I should

 

It's best to have both

 

He mentioned that you need to have both though. It's only recommended. It throws one off and is very misleading. ;)

 

Now Auzzi, our history goes pretty far back... By that I mean, the first weeks of Towny. In terms of that, our only interaction was that you helped me when I had problems with inventory/echest purges, which I was grateful for. After that point, our only interactions were from my teasing of you and Whyte, as at the time we were friends. I would not say all too close, but we were friends never the less. (specify: I was friends with Whyte)

From this I can conclude, that you have heard of me from the only other event in which a staff member would know me, that being the dispute I had with Elric. I was quite adamant on not losing, as I felt wronged by the staff, and held firm to my beliefs. However in the end, I lost, but not before having a "scuffle" with about three different moderators, being 'Elric', 'Pile', and 'Dyna'.

For this reason I would like ask if you have actually heard and/or seen what I did that was disrespectful towards the staff, or if you are just taking the words of other for it. In the case of the first one, have you tried looking at it from the perspective of someone who felt that they had been wronged by the people who they had been told would keep them safe?

 

Both of you are overly sympathetic. The application was clearly written with almost no regard to formality, proved by the randomly inserted Q & As and the droning. Take out all the unnecessary bits and you'd have a very small and watered down application.

If @Vashryl wrote this with the purpose of actually becoming a moderator I'd think he'd be taking it much more seriously; instead, I feel as if the app was written for fun. The replies and remarks are also irrelevant and jokingly written which further reinforces what I've said thus far. I don't think it's as much humorous as it is sloppy/careless.

Perhaps saying it was blatantly written as a joke was a bit harsh but I stand by the idea that it was written with not as much seriousness as I think should've been implied.

I'm saying no support because of your record and what I said prior.

 

Very funny lmao , neutral tho and change the title

 

No support
Reasons stated above
Best of luck ;)

I can't figure out how ;-;

 

See, that's a better way to put it then otherwise.

 

So? We have to make applications that are formal now? Lmao is this the Voice where people get to vote who wins and chooses what criteria there is? I never recall having to be "formal" in my application, nor did it state that in any official thread. If this was written for fun, a moderator would've moved it already.

It is a legitimate application, because I'm sure @Vashryl would've stated it wasn't. Stop being so disdainful, it's depressing that you are treating an application as it isn't worthy of having the applicant promoted.

Of course it was, even you stated it yourself just now. So why respond in a cold and distasteful manner, when you are well aware that it is "harsh"?

 

I can understand your comments about the jokes and random Q&A throughout the application itself, and I will say, yes, those bits were intended as a joke. If you keep something too formal then it will lose the interest of the reader. Even if this is intended to be a serious process, I feel that if you don't try to enjoy it a little bit, then what is the point of applying for something where your goal is the keep the fun and enjoyment.
As for what you've said about it being "very small & watered down", I beg to differ on that point. The application itself does not fault at any point, it covers each point, giving enough information to be satisfactory, giving ample information when needed, and just enough when it just requires a minimal answer.
I can understand the disdain that comes with seeing a "joke application", but if you are planning on pushing your point this hard, please understand that your point is being made, and you are coming across as pushy and irritable which is a trait seen as unattractive in a person.

There is no need for an application to be "overly formal". The guidelines give questions to answer, but do not state that other questions are not to be added.

 

I look for applications that are formal enough that are clearly written in hopes of promotion. This is not one of them. I also did not say that applications had to be formal, though it is nice for applications to be decently serious and formal in tone. I highly doubt that Cypriot has time for the triviality either.

An application to me is what you're presenting and showcasing yourself through; basing it off of that, I was drawn away.

@Vashryl I agree that an application should include humor or at least some sense of fun but the sheer amount in yours makes me think it's purely there to make your app appear longer than it really is.

 

You do raise a valid point there about making it look longer, however the extra questions do not add much length to the text itself, and not to mention that there are much simpler ways of extending applications.

And I understand that you look for "formal clearly written in hopes of promotion" applications, but if everyone fell to that standard then the applications would fall to pointless optimistic drivel.

As for the reason I added the extra bits?
Two reasons;
1 - As stated, to lighten the mood of the text
2 - I notice that a large amount of people will simply say "I haven't seen you enough" of whatnot as a reason for not supporting someone. I do not view this as a valid reason for choosing to not support someone, as a single persons views are narrow and unable to see all. What I am trying to say, was the lighthearted and almost childlike humor was something of a "fall net", giving reasons for someone to not support other than "not active".
You don't have to understand my thinking, and I'm not asking you to, but know that my heart is in the right place.
I wish you good day sir

 

damn vash, you must have a crap ton of time to kill, writing this application AND that 8 page essay on staff corruption.
