Plan E: Blue Shift

(01-10-2021, 05:04 PM)Evan Wrote: For the concern regarding pinging I believe I have overcome that flaw of mine.  The main issue I feel was a lack of confidence and the the subsequent worry that I would screw up badly in trying to keep control of a near full server or otherwise "rowdy", thus calling for backup when I didn't actually need it. 

Okay nice, you're self aware. Believing it yourself internally and showing it externally are two different things. I think this also ties in with your ban request issue; so until I see more ban requests out of you, I'm still going to believe that you aren't confident in yourself, as in my eyes, you have yet to prove that you have confidence.

For Jammin's concern regarding ban requests, the main cause for a lack of recent reports was, well, a lack of recent playtime.  So far in my recent playtime I don't think I've had many situations in which I could file a ban request, with most of what I can remember occurring with a moderator online and banning the guy immediately.  

This brings up CKG's issue of you depending on other people to do the job for you. Sure, Jammin presents a strong point that these issues I have might be more prominent from Test Mod to Mod rather than this promotion; however, your lack of ban requests makes people like CKG and me believe that you cannot carry your own weight as a staff member, which might be why it took you 3 times to get trusted. People can -1 me all they want for disagreeing with my views but that won't change my mind on this. I think you need another month to prove to the community you are capable of carrying your own weight.

my responses are in purple.

Also, it isn't a ridiculous notion to expect someone who's been staff as long as he is to be able to carry his own weight on a server. The general consensus is for people to assume I mean that I expect him to be able to handle 32 players with multiple RDM's going on in a round and 6 micspammers. That isn't the case I was trying to make but since individuals believe that is exactly what I am trying to say, I will restate my main argument for clarification.

Evan has 1100+ hours; therefore, my expectations for him to make the jump from Trusted to Test Mod are higher than other applicants, as he has much more experience than most staff members in the community, so that is why I am going to justify being extremely nitpicky. His lack of ban requests and his history of not having confidence in himself are red flags to me, and that is why I cannot and will not support a promotion for Evan at this given time. 


Now, should Evan make more ban requests and show myself and other doubters that he is capable of carrying his own weight, I will gladly support his promotion. Until that though, he should remain as a Trusted.
