Skull132 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Application denied, 19MAY2016. Application was originally given an extension by staff to resolve complaints raised by staff. Following a review over the last week, we found that the issues were not resolved and our decision reflects that. Here's the issue (and Delta, please actually listen instead of forwarding your giant hairball that you threw up onto the platter earlier) with Raven. Beyond the mistakes at higher level rulings, and the two complaints that senior staff managed to get him into, Raven is too raw for us to manage as a fully fledged, self-sustaining moderator. Nikov illustrated the main issues very neatly in his posts here. As it stands, the suggestion is that Ravens continue to partake in similar activities as a Duty Officer, so that he may improve his ability to communicate and resolves issues. And as further elaboration for Delta. Our process is not meant to mold moderators from nothing. It is not intense enough to accomplish this (and even then, there is a failure rate). It never was meant to be. Look at applying for moderator as you would look at applying for a job: you're expected to bring certain qualifications yourself. These are listed in the moderator criteria. We can teach you the mechanical things and help you further understand the rules as is required, but we cannot also dedicate the 2+ months required to mold an individual and his mindset. We do not have the manpower for it, we will not never have the manpower for it, as it requires a minimum of 4 staff dedicated to it, 6 to 8 recommended. This clashes with our light staff principle. Oh, and to refute the cliquey argument (I think it boiled down to: we make a decision on whether we want someone on staff or not at the start, and then let them fail or pass the trial depending on that). Unlike 90% of other trial moderators, Raven was assigned a mentor. And we even extended his trial in an attempt to give him a fairer chance. If these actions don't speak against whatever the hell you attempted to present, then please, skype me. Or DM me on discord. Whatever, you have my number. Lordraven is free to reapply as a moderator in the future, however.
