ofc yes
i do see where you are coming from alot of insight from your dm
i have changed alot in consideration of the recent stuff in thinking about this staff application
i have been trying to better myself and help people more often (i already tried to help alot anyways lol)
but thank you again for the support and comment

 

You can also refer to the Staff Application Information thread which denote the following:

• Accept all feedback and avoid any arguments - use the report function.
• Make sure your application has been neatly formatted.
• Check your application for spelling, punctuation and grammar.

And in the same thread you link, it denotes:

• Instead of being critical of this, it would be better to correct the user politely and help them create a better application.

My original response is not meant to be rude or harsh, but rather help you improve parts of your application to help better present your skills. As Emy points out, your application is a way to express yourself. An application heavily emphasizes your level of maturity and seriousness towards the application process and your willingness to volunteer your time on the server, and if poorly formatted and worded, it can be taken in the wrong way and tell others that you're unserious which I'm sure you're not, but it comes across that way with the excessive use of colours and spelling/grammar issues.

However, I digress and I'm more than happy to provide additional feedback geared towards you and less about your application. I've seen you in-game a bit and haven't ever seen you had a negative interaction with other players, and you are very frequently active in Skyblock's voice channels, however I would suggest that you are also active in chat as your last three messages were posted on June 24th (one being in a help thread and two in the commands channel), and your last "full" activity being on May 20th. Furthermore, your Discord ban only being a few months ago strays me away from supporting your application as being banned for homophobia and racism is very serious, and failing to initially mention it in your application and your response to once it was pointed out by EPro does not highlight accountability. This isn't something minor that one would forget about as it was a permanent ban.

I really do hope your Discord text activity improves as it allows us to further understand you as a person, and see you more in chat! I'll be more than happy to offer my support once the activity bumps up. Best of luck with your application, Silvia!

 

The ban was 4, almost 5 months ago... That's almost half a year, let's not hang too much in the past.
Also the ban lasted for 30 days, which she was able to get shortened by appealing.

I know this because I got banned at the same time, altho my sentence was halved, without need to appeal.

 

thank you for the feedback this has been insightful i did heavily change my application as per your last comment not sure if you read the new one

also it was a 30 day ban but that can be forgotten about too how long it was but honestly i didnt rilise we needed to add bans about the discord ether but mrepro made me a wear of that one and i did admit about it

but thank you again for this feedback
i will try and be more active in the discord but as im active in game for far to many hours i find it hard to make time for the discord also as its hard to chat in there when im also playing in game but yes i will try and be more active thank you

 

I get that you are their friend, but I would really appreciate if you let the applicant speak for themselves as it is their application. Thank you.

Thank you for informing me! The log didn't indicate a temporary ban so I assumed it was permanent, so thank you for the clarification and I appreciate your willingness to be active. Good luck once again! :)

 

I corrected you on smth you were wrong about.
I was stating a fact that you got wrong.
It should NOT matter on who told you.
Thank you

 

thank you for this i was thinking the same but wasnt wanting to be the one to point it out but yes there have been others to point it out too
yes i have been banned but also i do learn from my mistakes that i make

edit: but this convo shouldnt be held here we can ether take to a dm on forums or onto discord

 

Those are indeed very serious accusations and should not be thrown around lightly.

Unfortunately some people are touchier and looser than others on as to what constitutes homophobia and racism. Poorly placed or worded jokes can easily fall in that category depends on sensitivity of parties involved. I was called 'racist' for putting a trash thrown out of a car window in front of me back in through open window.

That said, where I really have issue with disciplinary action on these topics, is, we use our interpretation of what was being said, rather than intent of person saying it, which is not healthy, and can easily be skewed into whatever narrative we want.

Due to voluntary and definitely not professionally trained nature of staff, I would always elect to question judgements of such sensitive topics and would want to see an evidence of claims before deciding on my judgement.

Knowing Silvia, she could have easily said something with her slightly broken english that could be misinterpreted.

 

well worded laacis thank you for this input
if you want to discus this further you can always dm me here or on discord and i can give you more info on this topic or any other questions about me you have

thank you again for reading this and replying
