    Hidden Content:
    **Hidden Content: You must click 'Like' before you can see the hidden data contained here.**
    •long pause• Did I miss some required reading before this application...? I have seen your username before without much by way of context. Why is your opening line in this post mentioning how no-one takes anything you do-- including this application-- seriously?

    This is like nervously telling the cops to ignore any ugly rumors about the dead body in the other room.

    Nice to meet you, sir. Your name makes me want to play GoldenEye again.

    For the non-'Muricans in the audience this is UTC-4. Please include the other 90% of the world when giving your time zone, Mr. Awesome.

    +1 for 'Murica!

    I chuckled too hard over "talk a decent amount". Don't change a thing; this amused me enough that I would feel bad for suggesting anything.

    #Triggered​

    This is either going to be the highlight of my evening or worse than using chopsticks to eat a live camel spider. Let's flip that coin.

    Camel spider it is.

    Do not disqualify yourself in your own qualification.
    "I can play two hours every day except during sports seasons" made me wonder if Amazon gave discounts for bulk-ordering facepalms.

    If you are trying to highlight how often you play then stick with that topic. Discuss how good it is to have a Moderator that is constantly online. Give the benefits of an always-present staff member. Don't go sideways and talk about when you're unavailable, sir.

    Pope Francis called. Something about a job offer...?

    This is a very good start to a qualification. Where is the rest? How will you help everyone have a good experience? What are you dedicating yourself to? How will gaining Moderator help you accomplish this goal?

    You're missing more pieces than a leper colony. Please add some details.

    OK, I will bite: How should chat be monitored...? You seem to have some pretty specific ideas, sir-- let's hear them.

    Explaining how you would Moderate and the steps you would take would be a really good way to show character, Mr. 64. At the very least your readers would get a better idea of how they could expect you to perform when given power over everyone.

    HOBOSPEECH.

    "Pretty mature" is utter nonsense.
    This phrase is right up there with "a little pregnant" on the list of things that make people think you might be mentally challenged. But then adding something about how many people consider you immature makes this even worse (somehow).

    Recommendation: Drop anything about what other people think and just stick with "I am mature". Normally I suggest getting rid of any qualification about honesty, trustworthiness or maturity: These are subjects you cannot convince people you have just by talking about them. Your call, sir.

    Five months later and I'm still not sure if typing speed is a good qualification or not. I am leaning towards "no", but I suppose putting this on an application can't hurt.

    If you are going to list something like "typing speed" as a quality then perhaps give an example of how quickly you can handle issues. Or even combine this with "multi-tasking" to make you stand out a bit more.

    HaHaNo.jpg
    Full points for trying.

    Making your own decisions while telling everyone else what to do is Dictating.

    Demonstrating sound decisions, explaining what needs to be done and showing others how to accomplish tasks is Leading.

    I am not 100% sure if this was a slip on your part or an honest assessment of what you think people with authority do. Either way this was a rather interesting insight into your world, Mr. Awesome.

    Recommendation: If "Leader" is important enough to put on your application then please give it more than two lines of explanation. This would help a great deal for people like me that do not know who you are or what you are good for.

    You're quite welcome, sir. This entire section reads like you typed it on a cell phone during your half hour break at Burger King. Nothing is explained or detailed, the topics jump randomly and some of it flat out contradicts itself.

    I feel like a starving man given a Hot Pocket: Where's the rest of the application??

    I am more confused than a Greenpeace supporter at a Burning Man festival.

    Are you role playing as Cassandra...? I read applications pretty thoroughly and try to understand the author's viewpoint. But I seem to be hitting a brick wall here: Everything you put down seems to be a reference to something else, or perhaps an in-joke that only people who already know you would understand.

    You're disappointed about what's happening? To who? Why? How are you disappointed...? How would you help out? What potential do you have?

    WHEN? Midnight to 2am? Or the elusive 10:45 to 12:45 stretch during lunch? I hear that's a rough one. You need to give everyone an idea of when you will be available in order to be hired, sir.

    Please condense this to simply "Three times. Nick abuse, resignation argument and a tantrum". While I am extremely curious about the hints you are dropping here your readers do not need to know about your history.

    ...AND?? What does this mean? What did you do on the Org server, sir? I'm guessing you are implying you were already a Mod there once? What were you responsible for and how did you learn from it? How would that make your application better for this server?

    You don't have to explain anything but it would really help.

    Well that was interesting, Mr. Yoshi. After going through this multiple times I still have no idea who you are or what your qualifications would be. This felt a lot like eating an entire bowl of whipped cream: Lots of fluff with nothing to chew on. I am having a hard time supporting/non-supporting because this application seems like a cardboard cut-out of random opinions.

    I have only see the imature and rude side of you sorry. Good luck though!
