And yes, you answer tickets from players and helped them! You were also an admin for a long time!Hello! thank you for your feedback I appreciate it,
However, I do know you would not be totally impartial, especially when people made staff reports against me (mind you the people making the staff reports were encouraged to make those staff reports by other staff members since they wanted to get rid of "him") and even though you were not a staff member at the time, I do know you were not very impartial in those staff reports, instead of asking what was the reason for my answers, the context, you followed the opinions of the crowd like a sheep mentality.
I want a staff manager who is impartial, truly impartial, not someone who if becomes staff manager would not care for the staff member´s point of views, context to gather information on what really happened. Those things are important in a team where you assume the mantle of leadership (in this case, staff manager): you are supposed to manage a team, a team that are not robots and you do have to make sure that their interests are also upholded, not just your interests or the interests of the person reporting your fellow staff member
And let me be honest about this (Sybil please do not delete it, it is relevant): In my opinion, you are only applying to become a staff manager because of the power it gives you, and not because you care about the team.
Why not apply to be a moderator again? I am sure you can help the team as a moderator by passing down the knowledge you have to others, and then reach the rank/position of admin.
I want to see a staff manager that can set their differences aside with a specific player and take the best decision and the same logic goes to being able to set their differences in regards to a staff member.
Another thing I want to be honest about and if I sound rude not my issue: You are very selective when it comes to people that you interact with, I am 200% sure that if someone applied to be a moderator, you would instantly deny for two reasons: you cannot be impartial, you would listen to the opinions of your friends and SOME (not all because not all are snakes) ex-staff members who would tell you that said person is not a good pick, and I am sure this would happen with other players (just providing an example) and you would not be able to set differences aside; and second reason: because you are an old timer (with this I mean that you very traditionalist, you cannot place yourself in the shoes of another, and this was seen in my comment in Rump´s comment where you just said using other words and not the ones I will quote "blah blah blah your opinion does not matter, I have seen this person do otherwise, get out of here"
Ask any staff member and they will tell you (in any gmod server) that they would like their opinion to be heard, their side of the story to be considered before saying that their point of view is idiotic lol
Are you going to tell that to the staff members who ask you for advice or bring concerns regarding another staff member or a player?
You are really good for moderator and for admin (obvious) but for staff manager, your approach is way too cold and distant from others
My vote is negative.
I guess ill just get right into replying to what you have to say
I'm not sure how you "know" I would be impartial as I have had ONE convo with you before and that was almost a year ago and you immediately gave me the cold shoulder when all I was trying to do was provide advice to you.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when it comes to your staff reports sorry
You have this notion that I am only applying for the power. where does that notion come from? if I wanted the "power" why haven't I ever applied for this position before? twice there were staff manager apps opened but I didn't apply then. If I just wanted the power don't you think you would of seen maybe 3 apps at this point?
I haven't spoken to you nor have I seen you in quite some time as you don't play the server. I have made friends with an extremely large amount of people regardless if they are new or old so I'm not sure where you're getting this idea that I'm selective with my friend group.
I get its your opinion but I'm positive you are incorrect about if someone was to apply for staff I would instantly deny I have given you absolutely no reason for you to believe that.
I am only defending myself here but you don't know me nor have you ever taken the chance or the time to get to know me I have nothing but kindness for those around me. Sure there were times where I wasn't so nice maybe a year or two ago, ill admit it and its not something I'm proud of but it wasn't for no reason. As everyone else I'm human mistakes happen.
I stand by what I said about "oh your friends with so and so and they are "this" so you probably are too" as being idiotic. We are all our own people. We have our own brains to make our own decisions and that I will not back down from I'm sorry if you're offended by it.
thank you again for you words and feedback.
(ps I replied to Bella via discord if you wish to see my answers I can send them to you/show you)
