Good Afternoon Big Sad,

At this time, the Admin Team has decided to Deny your admin application. 

As it has been mentioned, an admin position should not just "be filled", especially with the large reach of an admin, you essentially have a say in every corner of the community and deal with the larger issues that the community has.

An admin app is harshly judged as people are deciding whether they want you representing them in the community, some things that may be fine or people don't have issues with for regular staff will impact an admin application.

Some advice for the future:

Write more in the application
It is an application for one of the larger positions in the community, we don't expect a jammin-level essay, but definitely need a fair bit more than what was posted. 

Learn to handle and word your opinions better
Let me be clear when I say this is not to "conform or follow what everyone else is doing". I am the biggest advocate for personal ethics and morals that being said, it is also important to be able to listen and understand, two of the biggest things I live by are "Here's My opinion, feel free to change my mind" and "We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions". 

This is more about how you construct your arguments and views. Tone, the language used etc, is important especially when speaking. Or if you are saying something (especially on the forums, that doesn't contribute or you aren't well informed about) maybe don't say anything.

Like Norm said " Effective communication skills are crucial for de-escalating situations, understanding different perspectives, and reaching resolutions that benefit the community as a whole"

Do stuff now
There is no better time to show that you deserve the position than stepping up now, work on some updates for PH, look into some of the issues. PH has no admin at this point, Show that you can do the stuff needed for the position. 

You may re-apply on the 7th of July 2024. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
