Daniel I can do less than you can for brawl right now. At least you're builder and your builds will get onto the server. I always got the repose "they don't fit the party theme/they aren't colorful enough/etc."
Then work towards something better! No need to give up, you can always get better!! I wasn't the best builder to begin with, not even now, you learn from your mistakes. Look at the bright side, if you continue trying to help to make party better, you can get accepted. When you are accepted you can do even more! But just don't stop going forwards!
Mmmhmm its discouraging after a while. And its not like I expect everything I suggest to get accepted. Just don't be an ass about it and actually have a conversation. Many times I've come up with ideas to fix the reasons for them saying "no" but there is such a lack of communication that discussions simply don't happen properly
Daniel it's exhausting.... I did everything already, and I know you say I should work for the betterment of party. I did, but everything that happened with party I had to legitimately fight for, tooth and claw. Ryan and I got depressed because we'd ask for something and be ignored for days, even a week. It got to the point where we had to pm them. And even then, still ignored.
I don't know you very well, but I still think you'd be a good staff member. Though, there are things I don't get:
"Remember why you wanted to apply and use that motivation to keep going and to keep improving. It is only
when you give up and say you cannot do something that it becomes true, so maintain that positive attitude and you won’t be sorry!" - I am sure where this quote is from. Please follow your own advice!
Oracle beat me to it. Lower staff are flat out ignored. That frustration the community feels when they're ignored by staff is the same frustration we feel because of higher staff. It isn't the jmods, mods, and smods who don't want transparency and it isn't the jmods, mods, and smods who aren't working hard to make the server better.
I don't really know what else to say. If you have faith that you can make brawl better, tell them how, they don't believe you? make them believe it, you can't simply stop. It might be hard like you said, but don't give up! Really, I can't say anything in the position I am, the only thing you can do is just continue to work for it.
Moreover... if you'd have reacted calm, everybody would have even more respect for you and it would have been nearly impossible to deny you again. But if you're too salty about it, somebody could argue you aren't ready - not even in a month. Please stay calm and coninue your work, I am sure you'll have success next month.
Skullcrusher, nothing will change. I'll be reaccepted, continue my work, and other people will pass me by because it isn't about how much you love the sever or how much you work or play or communicate.
I was doing the work of an smod, but didn't have the rank. They said, "eh. She'll still do the work anyway. May as well give smod to peas (someone who doesn't play party)". I'm sure you saw that... I was crushed. All my hard work, taken credit for by someone else. Why would I go back?
Who cares if Cuddled doesn't like you? If the person applying for staff is overqualified like you you're going to get accepted. For now just stay friendly and prove you can mentally handle things again. Prove to Cuddled that it won't happen again. Just stay calm and friendly and you'll get it next time.
Truth is, I love party and I want to help it, so I'm reapplying. But I'm going to change the staff system in the process. I have to. I have to be the voice for the people.
Ambitionz, cuddled hates me. She won't accept me. Truth of the matter is that brawl is a popularity contest. If you're friends with cuddled and other staff members, you'll be accepted. If not, you're done for. I'm considered an enemy of brawl now because I'm suggesting change and the higher ups don't want that.
You're blocking your own comeback for real with every word you say. You wanted to come back, that's why you applied. And - why you should come back? Because you love Brawl. And you can do more if you have a higher position. If you don't want to do it for you, do it for Brawl. We need somebody who criticizes us; even if I personally don't agree with you in several cases.
This is kinda true Feather, but the community needs to learn to accept change, the only changes we've gotten recently were messed up /msg and game descriptions. That's not hard to do. Maybe if they made real changes that mattered more often then Brawl wouldn't be so reluctant to accept change
You were not denied due to cuddle disliking you, you were denied due to issues that she had with your application and activity. She will accept you if you improve on what cuddle told you to improve on. You are not being targeted, and no one has personal bias, we want you in the staff team. You just need to improve on what you were told to improve on
I understand what you mean with credit too. I've come up with many ideas and then a staff member seems to "copy and paste" my idea, and everyone thinks they did it, which in all honesty kinda makes me really mad. Such as the kitbrawl event, I was the first to respond with "BRACKETS!!", and someone else was given credit for it..
And I've put in multiple ideas for hg that have been put in but after another staff member says basically the same thing. And I'm preparing for one of them to come in and be like, "no way, we come up with our ideas by ourselves and give credit!", nah.. nah nah... Your ideas are influenced by others.
And this is why feather is the best. I'm also of the view that getting staff via honesty and hard work is better and more rewarding than having high friends, but I'm also getting tired of the
a wall. Well, it isn't, and it brings out worse things. If this kind of judgement and bias goes on, well, rough ride incoming (except if @BlueGuyARed comes back)
feather, she doesn't hate you. When I got accepted probably 3/4 of the staff team didn't like me, but they don't bias like that. Besides, who cares what people think! Just do your thing, you don't need any ranks if you know you're making a difference, you shouldn't need to worry about a tag/title that someone else got.
Just wait the month, you got this. You know what your goals are. I think you should have waited just a bit longer because honestly I think there were a lot of unstable emotions floating around (not by you specifically, but just around the situation) and I think some time was needed off.
Ok I felt the need to respond to this because you pretty much called out the whole party staff team
1) We gave you credit here http://www.brawl.com/threads/64766/ as we used work that you worked hard on
2) No offense, but you're kinda taking a lot of credit from me :v I also worked hard as I could, and helped you as much as I could, amd you're claiming you did all this solo
3) Cuddle is not bias and does not hate you at all. She has accepted many people she dislikes and has denied friends before. If you work on what you were told to work on, you will most likely be accepted.
4) The higher ups saw much potential in Peas, and he is here to help organize everything and help out the staff members of WarZ and Party, and it's helped me a lot. You shouldn't not be dwelling on Peas being SMod, however working to achieve a promotion.
Not that I'm saying peas isn't a great mod, he is amazing, but it did not seem he was back very long. How long was he back before he got back? As you can't judge a person based on a week of activity, which is why you can't be promoted after just joining the forums or joining the server.
As I was saying, you had to be on the forums for basically 2 months for your posts not to be considered spam, and continue to be active for the time. 3 weeks isn't even a month :(
Something that should have been clarified and greenpeas was well aware of as well is that he was placed there temporarily to help organize warz and party. Since he was admin before and dealt with a lot, we knew he was able to help out in that form.
The chance of another active member on each server becoming SMOD is still equally as high as it was before greenpeas was promoted to that position. I would like to apologize to all that were affected because we did not clarify beforehand.
The thing is, he resigned *almost* 2.5 years ago. I do not doubt him being an excellent manager, but he was admin 2.5 years ago, and he was mod for 3 weeks, then got insta-promoted. That is what the community is irritated by, not Green being a good mod.
What I never understood was through all the drama and calling you guys out during the promotion, an explanation wasn't made until after feather resigned. Why was this?
It was clearly brought to your attention and several other people were upset about that whole situation. I guess talking about it doesn't really matter now. What is important I suppose is that there needs to be a change in communication and how things are dealt with in general by admins because you have lost several staff members due to this yet again.
Aaaaand this thread has gone down the **** hole. I'm not that upset that peas got party smod. I was just upset becausee I had never gotten a straight answer as to why he did until now. You claim peas knew about the promotion, but he pmed me saying he didn't know.
And yes, ryan. You did help me a hell of a lot, but keep in mind that near the end, you needed a break from party and moved to warz. I was not calling out party staff at all.
