The point is though, is that the rule you quoted does not say that what you're saying happened is against the rules. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it, but you're basing your comment around an incorrect quote of a rule. Your concern are valid and should be voiced, but they're not breaking any rules if Oblivion did send it to Kitty prior to posting and let her draft a reply. In fact, this is so common that there are some current staff members who have let others revise their applications before posting.

I think your concerns and points are valid, but you are quoting a rule incorrectly and saying someone broke a rule that isn't around. It would be one thing if it was an actual rule, but what you're doing is saying someone incorrectly broke a rule. That's my issue with your feedback.

 

Just to clear all this up. Kitty did a check for punctuation, grammar and formatting check which is completely fine to do for anybody who wants to apply for staff.
At no point have rules in applying for staff been broken. If they had been then I’m sure the staff would have spoken up or removed the forum post.

I have faith in the staff to know the rules and to act upon breaches. This is what has happened with post removals. If a player uses slander and non factual information to derail the forum I can report it. If it is then removed there was obviously a rule breach. Staff have posted a warning to stop this yet it appears to be continuing.

No access to the account has ever been given as I used word and the copy paste function to then move the application to the forums.

If you have genuine concerns then you can message me through forums to discuss this further.

 

I want to point out, they most likely live together, as they are married.
Ofc they proof-read each others stuff, ofc they support each other.
If she already proof-read it, and know it's not been changed, then why should she artificially wait 10 minutes just to support her husband?

Trinity told you about the rules.
Trinity is former staff.
She quit by herself, not forced to quit.
You basically got what you wanted.

 

As this staff application seems to be turning more into attacks towards my wife and repeated hearsay, misinformation, slander from a small population of the community I will be allowing staff to close this down if needed as I see no end to this even with staff input from Brandon and Krissy.

I have given players the opportunity to directly contact myself to get full clarification on any issues raised yet it seems easier to follow the misleading words of others rather than to gain correct facts of events and make rash choices based upon fact rather than opinion.

For those that have show correct process and genuine feedback on how I can improve and potentially make it as a staff member I am truely grateful and appreciative of the comments and constructive input shown.

Hope to see you all on the server soon and on the other platforms to show the changes made and the effort I will be putting in to try and apply again in the near future.

 

Obliv is a very fair minded and polite. He is very into the game and has archived collecting every possible item on his island.

I really think that Obliv would be a valuable part of the staff community. Therefore I am supporting his application.

 

Hey Krissy, Thank you for stepping in and offering a full and clear explanation. I appreciate you taking the time to address each point with transparency — and I respect the final decision made by staff.

I understand now that the timing of the support post from Kitty was likely coincidental or pre-planned to support— and if that’s something staff have seen before and aren’t concerned by, then I’m more than happy to take a step back from that assumption. My only aim throughout this process has been to raise a potential concern, not to stir conflict or question anyone's character unfairly.

If Oblivion were to become staff in the future, I genuinely believe he would take the role seriously and wouldn’t risk doing anything that might jeopardize his position. I’ve said from the beginning that he’s helped the community in many ways, and that still stands.

That said, I do also want to acknowledge Oblivion’s recent reply. I understand that emotions have run high, and while I disagree with the idea that this has been a “witch hunt,” I get that constant public scrutiny can feel overwhelming — especially when personal relationships are involved. I never intended this to become an attack on Kitty, and I’m sorry if that’s how it came across. I hope it’s clear from my earlier messages that I tried to remain fair and balanced, even while expressing concerns.

To wrap this up, I’ll respect the outcome and allow staff to move forward as they see fit. I genuinely wish Oblivion the best — whether that’s with this application or the next. I hope people can walk away from this with a better understanding of one another, and that we all keep working together to support the community we care about.
