The jump from test moderator to full moderator is a huge jump - usually something extra is expected before you become a senior-level staff member. This requires proficiency at all levels of the task of moderation. I don't know you all that well, but I've seen enough that I think I can make a fairly level-headed evaluation:
Positive factors:
- Active staff member, averaging roughly 12-15 hours per week per the game tracker thingy
- active community member both on forums and in discord
- no staff strikes or issued discipline
- eager to moderate, willing to do the job
- willing to accept responsibility for mistakes (e.g. self-slay to resolve the frost complaint)
- long-tenure - been a test mod for roughly 6 months or so

Negative factors:
- No ban requests (is there some private staff discord process for this now? I assume there is so I didn't weigh this factor - but if ban reqs are still expected, my vote would change)
- Shaky on the rules per the frost situation - this is a fundamental issue, and shouldn't be a problem at your experience level (especially how recent it was)
- lack of community support - it's clear folks have an issue, and it's virtually never without cause. Work on what they give you to improve.
- along that point, listening to feedback seems to be a bit of an issue at times - listen to the regular players - they can teach you a lot about the game.

I think Christmas would be a more appropriate time to potentially step into a moderator role. You can improve on these points, and perhaps get a good training for the mod stuff during the school break.

I'm neutral at this time. Best of luck with your application.

yes, some bans are handled in the staff discord now, mainly threshold bans and obvious cheating cases. I would still encourage everyone to post on the forums for the community feedback aspect. But Roxstar regularly creates discord ban threads.

-1 the inability to take criticism without getting defensive and arguing back is a huge red flag and shows a lack of maturity

Gonna get defensive to the post about me defending things while I'm here, but I feel like I'd be worse off if I DIDN'T defend myself against the "he is okay with talking about adult things to young children, and other wacky beliefs" response. The 3mb3ry response was more genuine curiosity than defensive, but I understand if it comes off that way.

I do think that Saylor (specifically about the time-frame and the Frost niche/not-niche thing), Dildo and Jammin have made some good points that I agree with. I think it'd be best if I wait a bit longer before trying my hand at Mod again, and will take all the feedback given in this thread to heart.

Application Rescinded.

there are like 3 (2, one resigned) staff members i regularly disagree with on decisions and you are one of them, whether its your own discretion on decisions or just not understanding a situation before issuing punishment.

Application rescinded which is a default deny. Reapply set for 10/16/2025.

I think on our end the main concerns is how you are engaging in conflict and discussions with others. You are a confrontational/combative person and it is fun to argue (i would know). But there are multiple instances now of you having an argument (because you believe your side) but also to have fun when the other people involved are very much not having fun and it is something really serious for them. Identifying those situations and then stepping away I think are really important.

I think Jammin said it really well. Mod is a big jump as the role is supposed to be more of a community pillar. Community support is really important for it and not everyone goes straight to it. (I was tmod for 7 years?).
