Thank you for taking the time to apply for Trusted, Evan. Unfortunately, your application is Denied at this time. You may reapply 12/11/2019. These are the two main factors according to the How To: Promotion thread(which everyone should look at before applying) that are lacking to an extent that we feel needs to change and can most certainly be corrected within a month's time.
Community Engagement: While you do actively engage within the TTT server itself, we'd like to see more activity outside of the server. Make yourself more recognizable and stand out among other applicants. Get to know some people, engage with the community at large through text/voice in discord, etc. Here's a link to our discord since you seem to have minimal involvement on that end and that needs to improve. Same with forums, perhaps you can engage more on that end too. You acknowledged that was lacking on your part so it should not be a hard change to make.
Effort into Application: This is a trend I've been seeing more and more in Trusted applications, so you aren't the only one. But there has to be more effort than one mere sentence with basic responses that anyone can give. It does not answer questions like "So What?" "Why should we care if you think you can be an effective staff member, what makes you stand out from everyone else in that sense?" "What can YOU personally do to help staff our server and how can you demonstrate that in certain scenarios(such as trolls, hackers, etc.)? There has to be some effort put in to explain questions like this. Anyone has the potential to do something but we want to know what about that person make them stand out among everyone else. Just giving basic and one-sentence responses don't really help. Not apparent in every case, but if someone puts a one-sentence effort into their staff application how do we know they'll put a sufficient amount effort into staffing the server?
Improve on these things and you should be successful in the future.
