Just let people say their piece, and only respond if it's REALLY necessary. The context doesn't end up mattering if every point of criticism or -1 ends up with you replying, because then it just starts to look like you arguing. It's not great.I'm on mobile and I'm not even sure if there's a way to multi quote a post so I've lettered each point for simplicity
B) I didn't even know any of that was happening, but it hardly surprises me. It is NOT relevant to your application, though. It's entirely off-topic and just seems like you throwing shade at current staff. I don't have any love for certain staff members, but dredging up something like that isn't helping you get accepted.
C) Tiefling comes off as very impatient to me. I think she'd be very quick to give out punishments as a staff member, and maybe not scrutinize the evidence. When she forms an opinion she seems to stick to it, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it is a negative if it means you aren't diligent in collecting evidence when handling a report. If Tiefling could work on moving past this, I think she could make a good staff member, but I think this application is definitely too soon in her journey through this community.
A) The two main reasons I reply to a post are to clarify something, either something I said that wasn't clear enough and led to confusion or something someone else said that is inaccurate, or to ask for additional information from feedback so I can know what to work on from it. I think it's fair for me to be able to provide my side of things or to defend against claims that aren't accurate. If a piece of criticism or an accusation is accurate, it should be able to hold up under scrutiny. Regardless, there are plenty of posts in both applications I either havent responded to, have done so privately, or have responded to simply to acknowledge that something needs improving.
B) I wasn't the one to ping you, and I don't know all the intricacies of the forums so I wasn't aware you were still getting pings. It was simply one of many examples of current staff making similar or worse jokes than I do on the server that no one bats an eye at; I chose that particular example because it involved the person accusing me, which I felt made the accusation disingenuous. The point wasn't to throw shade at other staff, but simply to point out that shitposting and banter is normal among much of the staff and shouldn't be a disqualifier for applications.
C) I can see why it could appear that way from casual interactions, but I am extremely diligent when it matters. When I'm making reports and ban requests, I look for as many details as I can. Most times I get RDMed I check the logs and death scene if necessary to make sure I didn't miss something, and forgive reports that were simple accidents. The same would apply to my staffing. It's true that I tend to stick to my opinions, but it doesn't mean that I ignore or don't seek out evidence, I do my best to base my opinions on as much information as possible.
