Botanist's Mod App

[rrrrrr]

My point of view is skewed in what way? Everything I said in that complaints thread was true.

[Jboy2000000]

All you said was an off had comment. Golle's right. You can't be serious, you can't seem to stop making jokes, and I don't think thats someone I don't think should have any power or authority over anyone.

[rrrrrr]

"I don't think that's someone I don't think."

Is English your first language?

Also, you seem to (very wrongly, of course) assume that I'll.. I don't know, ModPM people with jokes? Only respond to ahelps with jokes?

Basically, you seem to think having a sense of humor is a poor character trait and that joking about fictional catmen can't be turned off. It can be, don't worry.

[Jboy2000000]

Yes, English is my first language, thank you for pointing out a grammatical error anyone could make.

If it something that can be turned off, you never showed you can. Even though out this thread you couldn't turn it off, not to mention your jokes come off as rude 99% of the time, and that you don't even acknowledged they're jokes. Unless you do think that making a joke on a complaint justifying someone telling people how they should play the game on a thread you shouldn't actually post on is serious, then thats a problem of its own as well. Its like I said the first time, I think theres a reason mods don't act like you do.

Well, it's kinda hard to without a trial.

Still, people should probably make an effort to remain civil and polite in their own apps, at the very least. (Jokes are fine. Shouldn't be made at other people's expense, though. I think we can all agree on that.)

That's not a grammatical error, sorry. It's a straight up syntax error someone who's a native speaker shouldn't make.

That said: I've never had to turn it off, diphead. I'm not dealing with people as a moderator, I'm dealing with them as a player. The fact that you don't believe people can filter what they say is.. really fucking weird, I guess? It says more about you than it does me, really.

Continuing: literally every single word I spoke in that thread was 100% true. Tajaran are second class citizens and expecting to be treated well by everyone is hilariously misguided and implying it's wrong shows a grave misunderstanding of their lore.

[Jboy2000000]

I believe people can filter themselves fine, but you've shown that you either can't or won't through this thread.

And while its true, thats not what the thread was about, the thread was about someone telling people in LOOC how they should play the same as their characters. By the rules about relevance for posting in complaint, you also shouldn't have been posting in there at all as well.

That rule doesn't get enforced and tbh I can see why. This shouldn't really factor into Botanist's application.

However, what does concern me is that Botanist should make an effort to be nicer in his mod app. Like, if there's a place where you can demonstrate that you're able to have reasonable, level-headed discussions before getting a trial, it's here. So why not do that?

[rrrrrr]

You are literally wrong and just don't think people can filter themselves. Admit this.

The rule is shit and isn't enforced. At all.

[Jboy2000000]

Instead of trying to filter yourself, you keep going. You are literally not helping yourself.

[Gollee]

Both of you stop using literally; you are doing it factually correctly, but grammatically wrong.

Jboy; you are pissef, lay low.

Rrrr, you actually threw insults up there; specifically "diphead", that doesn't show any sort of ability to manage your emotions if you are going for ad hominem already.

[rrrrrr]

Disagreeing with you and explaining why I disagree with your weird, misinformed opinions is not the same as lacking a filter. Please try harder in your attempts to faze me, large lad.

 

specifically "diphead"

i call them as i see them

[Thundy]

Yeah solid -1 on this one. This person could have done so many things better when trying to handle their dispute with Jboy. How am I to think they won't carry that over to the players they are meant to be moderating? I have thus far not seenanything in this person which would make me think they are fit to lead.

[Zundy]

I can see no reason not to just trial him at least?

Edit: Spell checked and +1 added.

Let's see how he handles himself as a trial mod, then work from there. Totally willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least. +1

[Guest]

The current wave of trials may be the last one, so I don't think there will be any more.

I am fairly sure moderators are not leaders, friend.

[incognitojesus]

I would have to give this a firm no, because of the attitude displayed towards other members of the community who are objecting to your application. You said you could handle stress, anger, and insults very well in your application, however, this application has given me the exact opposite impression. You've resorted to ad hominem, which is never really okay for a moderator. Doesn't really seem like the kind of staff member we need, sorry.

I'm not sure what gave you the impression I can't handle any of that well. Addressing Jboy's (unfounded) argument while also calling him a diphead is not actually ad hominem, so.

ad ho·mi·nem

ˌad ˈhämənəm/

adverb & adjective

adverb: ad hominem; adjective: ad hominem

1.

(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

"vicious ad hominem attacks"

2.

relating to or associated with a particular person.

"the office was created ad hominem for Fenton"

 

Basically? Be quiet, you are an annoying liar and don't know what you're talking about.

 

Keep your really weird vendetta you have against me out of here, you literal punk. It's not my fault you can't handle the banter.

 

 

Addressing Jboy's (unfounded) argument while also calling him a diphead

[rrrrrr]

First of all: Letz Shake is, in fact, an annoying liar. Not a single thing he said in his post was true.

Second of all: I am being sarcastic, you diphead.

Third of all: Diphead isn't an insult, you goofif.

You have mistakenly chosen to assume my diphead-shouting, annoying liar-calling behavior in this thread would reflect how I act as a moderator. Nothing could be further from the truth, diphead.

[Frances]

you don't generally call strangers dipheads and expect to make a good first impression tho

Your honor, I rest my case.

[Killerhurtz]

Not sure if I posted on here yet but

-1.

Seriously - the app is barely even filled, and of the characters you listed - I know two of them, and both of them are notorious for stirring shit.
