Board Thread:Apply For Staff/@comment-27729421-20160718171148/@comment-9026519-20160719083931

I'm sadly going to have to oppose this for the following reasons:

1) As I've mentioned before, we need to look at shortening our staff count. You left your position which simply means one less person. Basically, you helped even out the numbers.

2) People who are staff, especially in the Mini-Admin and Admin categories need to be dedicated to the wiki and enjoy being here. You make it not only sound like a job in your blog, but you make it sound like hell with lines like these: "and I fucking quit this horrible wiki".

3) I tell people that as a staff member, you need to be able to willingly help people with a smile on your face. Again, your blog said this was a shitty community, making me imagine something along the lines of a scowl, not a smile. I feel the fact that you may not be willing to work with people unsettling and do not believe you would do so a vast majority of the time.

4) You revoked your power and I feel that means you do not techincally have the right to run for this position. I don't mean to rewrite the rule, but I interpret being a staff member prior to applying as actually holding that position upon applying. The reason I say this is because if someone is demoted, they can still run for admin or mini-admin positions because they were once staff members.

Long story short: You left this wiki and revoked your staff position and in a somewhat immature way that showed to me you were not fully dedicated to the wiki and are not fully able to properly work with our current community in said staff position.
