I truly really meant what I said in the posts I made, and really don’t regret any of them. They just aren’t helping me now. Yes, SoCool could have PMed me like he PMed Oracle, instead of shredding me below my application, but it’s not worth arguing over. Too many mistakes were made to be accepted this time around.
Regardless, as it was unprofessional, it was reported by me. Hopefully an smod+ sees it and talks with him about it. And I'll be around a lot me, so yes we should definitely talk more.
He could have been much more professional about his response, though. He was disrespectful and passive-agressive (both things he mentioned a staff member should not be). This specifically is what caused me to report. I have no idea if what he said is true or not, but it could've been worded better or taken up in pms. It was very hypocritical of him to shame you for behavior he showed in his response.
It was rejected with the response, "You need to be able to take criticism when you're staff", so don't be afraid to bring that up with him too. He's staff so he can take it.
There’s no reason that whoever rejected the report should have commented with that because if they look at my response they would see me taking criticism and handling it just fine.
I didn't PM 0racle - 0racle PM'd me a while back asking me for advice for him becoming staff. I didn't respond until he posted his app as I wanted to see him make the right decisions.
Feather - how was I being unprofessional, disrespectful and passive-aggressive? I was asked to elaborate on why I thought he had poor maturity and a poor attitude, and responded with examples. I appreciate unprofessionalism is one of my weak points, but I don't think it was an issue in my response - would appreciate some elaboration so I can work on it.
It's possible there was just a misconstrued message within your post (and if that's the case, then I apologize for reporting it), but my problem was with the way your messages were said, rather than what was said.
You made it seem like you wanted a lot of attention drawn to anything he had recently said, regardless of severity. This was especially noticed at the end of your statement when you mentioned "honourable mentions". This is where the passive-agressiveness and disrespect came in, in my opinion.
It's also important to note that while you were attempting to joke around, I'm sure, the same could be true of many of Soulless's statements, including the one said on my profile about not being able to turn 2-step verification off. This was said in jest to the topic of my status. This I found to be hypocritical because you had knocked him for joking around, while you then made a comment that appeared to do the same.
Sorry about the spam. Word counts are a ***** to deal with. Keep in mind I have no issues with your abilities as a mod, nor your dedication to Brawl. It's clear you care deeply, but I always report instances that don't quite sit well with me.
Guys, just don’t. I wasn’t going to get accepted this time around due to the mistakes that were made on my part. There’s no need for an argument over a difference of opinions. Please. I’m really not worth it.
Not trying to cause any arguments, just genuinely asking for criticism here. Let me know if there's still any issues and I'll gladly take it to PMs instead.
"Honourable mentions" simply meant things that I usually wouldn't have cared about, as they are much more borderline. I only mentioned them because although they're not an issue I'd -1 over, they're still an issue that could be worked on.
