Hello again ladies, gentlemen, and whatever @Laced Xanax is; it's Geist here once again to post an in-depth reply to a staff application. This reply will be in similar format to my last one but I also want to address some of the comments made in this app so far. This is only my opinion but I hope you take it seriously.
- Consistent community activity, 200+ hours in server, Good Ban Requests: Hours on the server are good to go here, I understand you took a break at some point but you have consistent hours over the last month so I would have no problem saying you've met that mark. Community activity is decent; you have a good amount of posts on the discord but I would like to see you interact on the forums in a more non-official way. This is a recommendation I made to @thunderwalrusinnthebar as well, let the community know who you are as a person, not just as staff. Ban requests are done frequently and accurately each time, no complaints there.
- Good understanding of the rules, Handles RDM reports accurately: You have a solid understanding of the rules as far as I have seen and heard (I will address the propkilling complaint near the end of this response). Just like Thunder, I have seen you ask some questions in @ chat which is great but as you climb ranks people will come to you often with rule questions so make sure you have a firm grasp of them. RDM reports are handled nicely and I've yet to personally see somebody complain to me about how you handle their reports, I would like to see you take more initiative on reports and grab them when they come up instead of letting them sit their for a round or two.
- Responses to scenarios, No major behavior incidents: I don't believe I've seen or heard about a major behavior incident from you so i'll file that away. Somebody brought up seeing you angry and I have seen some of that before too, even if only sent in @ chat. We as staff are all human and get angry just like everybody else, the only difference is you must make sure it doesn't affect the decisions you make while staffing. I haven't seen that but keeping your cool is something I would recommend you work on the most out of all of this, even if ever so slightly.
- Community support detailing the progress made as a staff member and my Personal opinion: I'll address the comments here and follow up with my opinion on the possibility of your promotion. We don't have specific restrictions on how long in between promotions should you wait for a reason: when they are the right person for the job why make them wait behind artificial walls we place? It's been about one month since his trusted app and he's been upstanding staff during that time, if we can promote Jack (who is great staff btw) on similar time frames why not ceebeast? The propkill comment honestly bothers me because while we do expect staff to uphold all rules so they make a great example, it is never a crime when a staff member who plays constantly makes a mistake or commits a single rule break. He propkilled, slayed himself, and apologized for it. Case. Closed. Ceebeast does not have a penchant for doing this kind of thing and should not be judged for it either, that would be ridiculous and a true double standard (all staff break rules at some point).
I think you're a good person Ceebeast, you have some things to work on and that's why I listed them above in this post. You're much more active than most staff, and by most staff I mean MOST staff. Work on being a better example to all members of the community and continue to follow the rules of staffing. If any of the higher staff who make the call on this read my response at least have one takeaway from this, good staff members are hard to come by.
Verdict: You're a good staff member who has some things to work on, but that's what being a Test Mod is good for, polishing your skills as staff after showing good foundation. +1
