    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.

    Firstly I do not feel bringing this up on Oblivion's application is necessary. All of this should have been fact checked by staff prior to posting about it and using it as feedback. But let's go into it now.

    The most likely situation as to the fast supporting from Kitty is she knew Oblivion was posting his application and wrote a support without reading because she supports him no matter what. Friends do this often and it is not illegal nor means any indication of account sharing. There is no conspiracies and it is simply what players do for others.

    We do not blindly use the first comment we see to determine a person's suitability therefore no impact has been made to the application process.

    There is no rule that applications are to be kept confidential before posting and must be posted secretly. The advertising rule applies to already posted applications and publicly asking for support or an open or future application. Applicants can tell their friends/family they have applied and that is not illegal.

    Also I see RuWi and Yohder have a near identical word for word post with the same issues raised. Was that a coordinated no support or coincidence?

    If Oblivion is staff he will be subject to strict rules and can no longer share his accounts. If he is promoted that means we trust him to do the right thing. Kitty and Oblivion are clearly two separate people and as long as the post is harmless, which it is, I don't have concerns.
    Other staff have partners or siblings who have played Skyblock and live in the same home and there has not been an issue with staff breeching confidentiality. This is why it isn't a large issue for me. It may be more personal experience that is making this concern.

    There has been no rules broken, no privacy concerns, and nothing fishy going on.

    Final decision is there is no breech. Please re-evaluate the posts made on this topic and consider removing what is no longer relevant.

    Please do not mistake my involvement in this matter as support. I only came to clarify.

    Thanks

    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.

    Adding on to my previous post it is important to advise.

    As Queen advised, the disagreements between applicant and certain player is mutual. As such, a lot of comments addressing such harassment fail to express the fact it is a dispute between a few parties and not one sided. I feel obliged to make a statement as a person should be able to apply for a position without being personally attacked, nor should the person's partner who is not part of this application process.

    I understand everyone has their view, has been told a side and is possibly standing up for a friend. However this is not the place to do it.

    Credibility of no supports are checked more than supports because of the serious accusations. As of yet there have been a few posts which caught attention; ones that the players have written politely and constructively.

    At this time we unfortunately have to remove a lot of conversations. While they may not be visible to the public, they are visible to staff and Kera and I still read them.

    I probably have mentioned before but the application itself is a small part of a bigger picture in promotions.

    So please continue constructive posts about things that haven't been mentioned if possible otherwise use the ratings.
    We will be monitoring this application closely now.

    Thanks.

    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.
