What can you do to help the community: I can help the server by using my knowledge of the rules to hand out gags/mutes/slays/kicks/and warns while also making sure the server doesn't get too rowdy.
Why you want to help the community: This is the community I basically grew up in and I want to help out, I've been here for a while and staffed a few times so I think the community and the server could benefit from me being staff once again
Have you been previously banned, or do you have active warn points? (Link Relevant Posts): yes
Have you previously applied for staff? (Link Relevant Posts): yes
How did you find us?: bored on the ball drop of 2019 and joined because of the name
Did you fill out the required scenario questions for rank you are applying for? (Links under requirements in format thread): I did last time and if they're needed again I can redo them
Other: If you wish to leave a comment private, please message it to the admins or me and we could also have a discussion about it if you'd like. I do want the comments/replies/input/support to be civil and adhere to proper etiquette, so please don't just insult me on a -1 or +1 me because my music taste is bad. Thank you in advance for looking at my app and potentially leaving a comment :3
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - Im A Bald Eagle - 02-15-2025
Annihilate this stinky mf fr
(+1 idk give him another chance I guess)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edit from sober Bald:
I want to highlight a few criteria that I personally look for when I decide whether or not to give a +1 to a trusted app.
- Activity
Damien is one of the server's all time most active players. He has been very active again for a few months now, so he checks that box.
- Knowledge of the game & the rules
Damien is former staff and has definitely demonstrated intimate knowledge of the rules, so he checks this box as well.
- Presence within the community
Damien has a lot of history with the Dinks community and while his time here doesn't appear to have been perfectly positive, it seems like it's been pretty far from negative overall.
Trusted is not a position that requires absolutely perfect judgement, and growth occurs over time. I think if Damien's motivated to give the server a helping hand (barring something outside of the scope of my knowledge), he should be granted the ability to do just that. He'll have the opportunity to prove himself further from there.

The thread name scared me
+1 give him another chance though, I haven’t seen the issues brought up during last app happen again. He deserves the TRUSTED rank.
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - 3mb3ry - 02-15-2025
+1 honestly you know what youre doing when youre staff and thats better than at least one current staff member
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - Rox5tar01 - 02-15-2025
+1 I swear to the almighty Chibill if I see a damien resignation thread after this, I'm gonna commit unspeakable acts
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - Withered - 02-15-2025
+1 This is where the fun begins
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - Storm - 02-15-2025
If bro doesn't get staff I will commit unspeakable crimes against the current staff team (/s)

Edit so its not just a shitpost:
There seems to be a history with Damien, staff apps and whatnot, but I genuinely couldn’t care about them. It doesn’t take a lot to handle trusted “duties”. The only thing I care about when meeting someone or hanging out with them is whether they’re a good person or not, everything else is added value, and Damien is good at their core from what I can tell. He doesn’t need to be a leader or have the emotional maturity and introspection of an old man, he just needs to be able to tell when an unforgiven report warrants a slay, and when to hand out warns. All of which he should be more than capable of doing so. He doesn't need to be perfect for the role either, the added responsibility will give him the experience to grow alongside the role.
Not that I know the guy that well, but if there was a time when he was too immature to handle the responsibility, I don’t see why that would be the case now given what I’ve seen.
On a personal note (and this is for the staff team that’ll be discussing the app in their discord), yall don’t have enough staff yet. You unironically should have enough to keep the server running 24/7 without issues that cant be solved on the spot, having people come into the discord at 2 a.m. complaining there’s people rdming or worse. Not that I play at those hours, I’m simply saying that the goal when reviewing staff apps should be to get capable people to fill those times when there’s no staff on. Whether yall agree with me or not, at the end of the day we are talking about staffing a game that's almost 20 years old. You can only be so picky.
xoxo,
Me
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - icey - 02-15-2025
absolutely not -1
I don’t see you being able to be unbiased or even being able to handle a full server of trolls. As soon as drama starts or you get criticized, you’ll resign again and the process repeats for the 18th time. You’re at your best hosting music nights.
being staff won’t fill that void in your heart.
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - symptom maddox - 02-15-2025
-1
I seen you mishandle an rdm report before, you do not show enough maturity, when you receive negative feedback you take it as an insult, and the list goes on. When you staff it feels like you just go on your opinion. From the comments that want you staff I see there isn't much reasoning. Good luck on your staff app, I just feel indifferent about it.
PLEASE put a reason why Damien should or shouldn't be staff instead of putting a shit post
RE: Bald Eagle Demotion - Market Down - 02-15-2025
+1 Extremely active in both the discord and server. If issues arise can just demote the fella. I don't know the backstory but my experience with you in the last month I've been playing again has been extremely positive
