[President Karlos]

Chelllman says it nicely. I recall having several conversations with him while we were both staff about whether or not "engagement on the forums" truly matters when you want to get into an entry-level staff position.

Sure, I, a non-server player, might not know who he is, but people who are regularly on the server know Karlos and as a result he has rapport with his fellow gamers. To me, THAT is more important than whether or not he has shown he can do a ban request. Teaching someone how to do a ban request is not difficult, and should maybe take the staff team 5-10 minutes of their time to train him on how the PH staff team wants a ban request to be formatted. 


If Karlos is well respected amongst his peers, I feel that there is no need to deny this application. If there are major implications that suggest Karlos is not fit for the job, then he should be denied. Sure, Karlos might not be able to record evidence on his laptop, but he has shown that he can identify when people are doing things they shouldn't by pinging for on-call and also has made two ban requests. 


Personally, I feel as if people are focusing on the wrong things in critiques on this individual's application. People have said that forum interaction is the main reason why you are -1'ing; to me, that is rather asinine. If this were a promotion application from Trusted to T-Mod, then I would absolutely say that your points are valid. 

When you're giving feedback, something you should always strive to do is give someone something that they WORK WITH to improve themselves; saying things like "not enough ban requests" is not very helpful. I would think that since this individual has been a prison officer before, I think he can easily handle handling situations on the internet. 


I will give this individual a +1 on the application because he has interest, has replied to critiques in a tone that seem to suggest he is willing to listen to comments from others, and from what others have seem to have said, there are no major character issues with you. 


Best of luck to you on your application.

shot for that yeah there are always things to learn and work towards. taking on feedback from others is a good way to do that and having a positive chat about how things can be improved.
