    Ok bud. Here we go.
    The poll says "+1, +0, and -1". I don't see anywhere on the poll or in the post where it says to vote with "+0.5" or "-0.5". This rating is often used when in reference to the build team, moderator apps, and other things.

    Ok so here's my problem with it:
    People who say "+0" are essentially the worst types of people by default. They read an entire application post, feel the need to post a comment, however this comment just reads "+0" and then a ton of other useless, obvious, overall BS information that can be easily summed up by READING THE ORIGINAL POST.

    People who say +0 are essentially saying "I took 2-5 minutes reading your less than impressive application. I do not have a formed opinion because +1 or -1 would be used in that situation. HOWEVER. I DO in fact feel the need to MAKE SURE everyone else reading this thread knows I read the post by saying "PLUS ZERO!!!!" LIKE FFS IF YOU SAY PLUS ZERO YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPINION, THEREFORE WHY TF ARE U POSTING UR OPINION??

    ALSO
    THIS IS BIG
    RIGHT HERE
    WHY WOULD YOU SAY FOR NOW? IS THE PERSON GOING TO "become more mature", "not use hacks" or "get better at building" in the time between you writing your response and them getting accepted/denied?? OF COURSE NOT! You are ridiculous if you think "+0" is a useful feedback option because it's not.

    OK I SAID I WOULD TALK ABOUT +0.5 AND -0.5 SO HERE:
    WHY?
    LITERALLY WHY?
    so if they get accepted are you happy? If yes, vote +1, if no, vote -1. DECIMALS ARE NOT ****ING CLEAR YOU SILLY HEADS! I'm not trying to be a poopysack while I write this post, but please, for the love of god, never write "0.5" ever again or I WILL come on CTF and I WILL NOT do /medic and heal you EVEN IF IT IS A CONVENIENT TIME FOR ME AND YOU ARE HOLDING THE FLAG. INSTEAD I WILL LET YOU DIE, PICK UP THE FLAG, AND GET A CAP MYSELF BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THAT SHIZ. I WILL ALSO EZ 420 NO LYFE 360 OH BABY A TRIPLE HARAMBE NO SKOPE U M8O/8O I R8O SO WATCH OUT.

    tldr: "+0.5" and "-0.5" triggers me. "+0" does too but not quite as much.

    This post comes with love and care from the noble Legoloober ready to loob up ur bootyhole because inserting my headshots into your anus.

    If I were to comment +0, it would simply mean that the good side and bad side of you balances each other out, I would also provide an explanation why. Let me use a specific example, staff apps. To be accepted as a staff member, you need to be mature, active, and a good application. This is how I would format my +0s if needed.
    Maturity: You're mature, blah blah blah, +1
    TS: You're not active, -1
    Forums/ingame: you're active +1
    Application: Not the best, but not the worst, +0 <- (balanced view, neither good nor bad)

    So after all of this, I don't understand how
    Moving on,
    I assume this refers to comments such as "Therefore, I would give you a +0 for now."
    If I were to put this, it means that my opinion of you is as such, but, I am giving you a chance to improve, and I expect you to improve on these said areas with immediate effect, regardless of whether you get denied or accepted.

    Next,
    Using staff apps as an example again, I would use +0.5 to show you that I believe you are fit for the position, but you have room to improve after you become a staff member. If I use -0.5 it means that you are not fit for the position, but you're very close. It's somewhat similar to +0 for me, just that it's a small step down from it, and not a -1, which (to me) means that you're completely unsuitable for the position.

    Let's get right into the application!

    Rant: The overall rant was nice, it had tons of yelling and triggery. It also talked about completely pointless pet peaves. +1

    Caps    : The amount of caps you had in the application was sub-par. Maybe use more caps next time, it makes the thread more ridiculous. +0.5

    Maturity    : Your maturity in the thread is not that good. You constantly made real and accurate points, instead of making up plain lies and yelling them. -1

    1.5 + -1 = .5, but even though +5 would round to 1 I'm going to give you +0 because logic, amirite?

    Hey I just addressed your concerns and gave my opinion, that's it. IMO there's no such thing as misusing the rant section, it's for you to rant your concerns and stuff. Sorry if I scared you lol

    +0 can be used for meaning there are some things I like about your app, but there are somethings that are problematic, therefore a neutral response is a legitimate one. I mean, just a number is never helpful, but if it's explained it is. Still, I'm going to have to go with -1.
    For build apps and short term crap, yeah, that's pretty dumb. +1 For mod apps, they can take ages, so -1. Although, bear in mind that some people mean +(number) for now as in this time around, so -1 if they mean that.
    But decimals can mean a mild yes or no. -1
    Dude, turn down before you post threads please. :v

    TL;DR
    -1
    +1 or -1 depending on situation
    -1
    Don't post threads when high, drunk, or a nasty combination of the two.
