Normally, when it gets to this point after 5-7 days I make a decision and send it Dink who has the final say. However this application is different than those that I have faced in the past. Something from Kiwi's past has been brought up, which makes sense history comes up in staff applications, but this one caused drama. This drama was not caused by the applicant but by a few members of the community which then exploded into people taking sides and getting involved with the drama which derailed the application for its actual purpose.
With that in mind at this point in time, I cannot accept or deny this application due to the viewed fairness that others may or may not perceive. The drama in this application could piggyback itself off of it and follow Kiwi around if she were elected to be a staff member. Also, denying it could show that the drama that happened affected the decision-making it to be denied but not from drama that the applicant, Kiwi, brought up. I do not want anyone treating anyone differently while tensions are high at the moment.
With that in mind I will delay this application decision by 30 days. After the 30 days the community will reconvene and revote. I do not believe that it would be fair to have Kiwi apply again seeing as how it was not overall her fault with what happened here.
The following conditions must be met by Kiwi:
1. She must remain active.
2. She will remain a donor or helpful donor.
As long as she continues to follow the rules and be occasionally helpful, I will see little reason to not accept her after the 30 days are up. No staff or community members are allowed to go on witch hunts or anything similar to try and have Kiwi fail in any way or do worthless nitpicking or imaginary glass ceilings that they would not put on other members of the community. They will treat her like any other community member and if they have a problem with that, they can talk to me about it.
It is up to Kiwi in this time frame to either help herself succeed or fail. This thread will be reopened on October 26, 2020.
