Randal's Admin App

Well I've decided to make an Admin app. I know that i still have some things to work on and have put an effort to fixing them. I believe that I have made a lot of progress while staffing and would be fit for an admin position.
My in-game name is Soccergoalie25 but i usually have a nickname of Randal, Randito, or Bandito.
I got Trial-Mod on December 28th, 2017 and then got Full Mod on January 5th, 2018.
I am 18 but will be 19 in just a few months.
Gender is Male.
Have I been banned on any servers? Only server that I have played on with this account is Mush and I haven't been banned since I got the account. On creeperninja69 I was banned once back in 2015 due to a misunderstanding that was resolved shortly after.
Why do I think that I should be an admin? Well I believe that I have gotten to know the community pretty well over the past year. I believe that I have been able to help others lately and see both sides of a situation before making a decision on what happens, if anything, to either player involved. I have a dedication to this server and the players of the server and try my best to be on as much as I can even if its just on minechat. I take every opportunity I can to help out a player in need. I'm on the server on and off all day checking in to make sure everything is okay and try to help out with anything people need. If i'm online and a player needs something I drop whatever i'm doing at the time to help them out until I've done everything in my power to help them out. If i'm not able to help them out I always try to get another staff member on that is able to help them depending upon whatever they needed help with.
How long can I be online each day? Well its always changing but lately its been about 3-7 hours a day every day on PC. Hopefully once school gets out for the summer in less than a month I'll be able to be on for a bit longer each day.
I live in the USA in the Central timezone
How long have I been on the server? Between either account I have been on Mush for almost 3 years now, May 8th will be my 3rd year on the server.

Here's a link to my mod app if anyone wants to look at it as well

If anyone has any suggestions for me as to what I need to work on I would greatly appreciate them. Thank You to all who read this!

-1 You banned a player for bypassing mute, even though they were the only one online when they bypassed mute. That is outright unethical. Often you dismiss it by saying "rules are rules," which shows you have no discretion at all.

You're WAY too new of a mod to already be wanting Admin. Although you've become a better mod since you were first accepted, you're still way too inexperienced. Get at least six months in my opinion, and also try to be on PC more instead of minechat (sorry about your job if that interferes.)

+1 Still have a little to learn but you do listen and are very dedicated in your mod duties, just cool it a little with shutting down conversations going on in chat so quick. I wish you luck.

Even if i'm still pretty new to the server, i see that you are more mature than the average players. You are doing a pretty good job at interrupting toxic conversations and keep the chat healthy overall. Go Ran go !

I agree wih Pres snd Tye, I feel like there are still a few things you can work on as a mod before you get ranked up. These things include being sensititve and knowing when and how to stop “toxic” conversations, and be less strict when it comes to giving out punishments.
kinda mix between abstaining and -1 for now however i do see you being a good admin once you work on these things

Thank you all for commenting.
@alpaca is there a reason why you give this kind of answer? Anything you think I could work on that could help me become a better mod?
@sneaky ty for the +1
@presinus it’s been about 5 months since I got full mod, there have been others that have gotten admin in a shorter amount of time.
@tyler I know that I haven’t been mod for very long but I feel like I’ve progressed a lot with becoming a better mod so I was seeing what others would think if I tried out for admin and hopefully get things that I needed to work on to be able to become admin potential. Also I have been on pc a lot, you just don’t know the difference because I took off the join message for minechat and don’t announce that I’m on minechat unless someone asks me to look at something.
@belgnbor thank you for the +1 belg. I have been working on not shutting down conversations in chat so quickly lately.
@ck ty for the +1
@pheo would you be able to expand on the ‘overly sensitive, childish, and biased’ part so that I could work on fixing that so I don’t come across that way anymore? Any suggestion is appreciated.
@Max thank you for the +1 max.
@CSS I’ve been working on being less strict and working on when and how to stop those toxic conversations. If you compare me now to how I was when I first got mod you would see a big change in how strict I was up to now but I still have a bit of ways to go.

Lol maybe the time when you said you had more power than people because you are an architect lollllllllololollloo xddddd and the fact that you kiss so much to make yourself look better and gain more power xddd it seems like everything you do is just to please others. If donating hundreds of dollars to a server isnt kissing ass i dont know what is

I didn’t donate to kiss ass, I donated to get arch on both accounts. When did I say that I had more power than people because I was an arch? How long ago was this? I’d like to see a screenie or logs of this. What can I say alpaca I’m a helpful guy, always willing to help out but I guess it came across as me kissing ass according to you.

unfortunately i don't have a screenshot of when you said you had power as an arch but i'm positive it happened. i do have a screenshot you coming on saying that you didn't need to stay on the server since there was staff on, but you were only an architect. Someone who thinks that they are or close to equal level to a staff member when they are almost the opposite is whack.
you can say all you want about the kissing ass, you know its true but no one would admit it. anyone with their head screwed on straight would never donate for architect when they already have it on another one. it part of being staff, kissing ass and what we need is genuine people. you act like a 5th grader on discord and its weird.

Why are you so persistent with throwing insults at me and continuing to get more and more toxic? I asked a simple question of if you had any suggestions for me to improve and all you have done is throw insults at me. Why are you targeting me of all people? What I do with my money is of no concern to you, if I buy arch on more than one account then that’s my decision. This server is special to me and I have donated because of that. I’m not trying to kiss ass, I’m trying to provide for the server to be able to keep it running for others to be able to play on it and enjoy it as I have in the past 3 years. I was not on an equal level to staff but was always there to help them out so that they could get a break for once. If you have nothing nice to say then kindly leave my application and keep it to yourself.

Back when you were an architect, if you had an opinion of a certain rule, your opinion about it would instantly change as soon as a staff member told you your opinion was incorrect. ckvoss was called a suck-up, though he always showed evidence of a contesting and unchanging opinion to other staff, while your opinion was whatever the highest staff's opinion was. I'm not one to call many people a suck-up, but you are a rare case.

Have to agree with Presinus,

"Back when you were an architect, if you had an opinion of a certain rule, your opinion about it would instantly change as soon as a staff member told you your opinion was incorrect. ckvoss was called a suck-up, though he always showed evidence of a contesting and unchanging opinion to other staff, while your opinion was whatever the highest staff's opinion was. I'm not one to call many people a suck-up, but you are a rare case."


And Pheo,:

"... Overly sensitive, childish and biased"


I also have my own personal hesitance due to the fact that since you became mod, your personality has changed a lot, and not just in the way that you would expect from a new staff member.:

-You seem to lack the empathy which you used to have.

- You seem less and less interested in the community.

-You have become increasingly sensitive.



We have one very fine Admin; Shad.

Shad understands the delicate balance that being staff on this server requires. This community is full of people who care about each other and to staff here requires much more than following a list of rules, you truly have to be a friendly face who is talkative, available, and empathetic. You have to understand that this server is more than just playing minecraft.

You're on the right track, but I think you need a lot more work.

-1. You're a good mod, great at doing your job and all, but you constantly call out people for spam and caps. There's nothing wrong with that, but if they say one sentence in caps or spam in chat like 4 times, you get a little over upset. I think if you learn to either be a little softer or just let it go the first time, I would only tell them if they did it multiple. Like me, for example. I feel like you're always mad at me 24/7. Anyways, I wouldn't say quite yet.

Abstain Randal, I don't really know if you are ready yet. Your great at being mod even though you are a bit strict on the rules. You need to be a bit more empathetic.
Put the criticsm aside, I think you have benefited the server's well being a lot since you became mod and have been strict when you have had to be.
Even though you are a great help to the community and are good company I think you have a lot to learn. Maybe wait a few months until you think you are COMPLTETLY ready.

Analysis:

Well I believe that I have gotten to know the community pretty well over the past year. I believe that I have been able to help others lately and see both sides of a situation before making a decision on what happens, if anything, to either player involved.

Well said.

I have a dedication to this server and the players of the server and try my best to be on as much as I can even if its just on minechat.

This doesn't support your application. It only tells me that's you're dedicated, but why should I vote you in to admin because of that? You should've gone deeper with this statement, because it's a good idea.

I take every opportunity I can to help out a player in need

Same thing as before. You already have the mod rank, so you already have more than enough power to help players. Why should anyone give you admin?

I'm on the server on and off all day checking in to make sure everything is okay and try to help out with anything people need. If i'm online and a player needs something I drop whatever i'm doing at the time to help them out until I've done everything in my power to help them out.

Well said. This goes deeper into the idea that you're dedicated to the server.

If i'm not able to help them out I always try to get another staff member on that is able to help them depending upon whatever they needed help with.

Any normal player can call another staff member online; this provides no support for you.

CONCLUSION:
Your mod app is primarily filled with stuff that only gives support for you to maintain your mod rank, rather than go to the next level (admin). Although you do provide some good points, I'm not convinced that you're ready. From my experience on the server, you're a great mod, and maybe you'll be able to make it to admin one day.

Abstain (Leaning -0.5)

Suggestions:
-Become less sensitive towards spam and caps
-revise your mod app, add in what I suggested
-become more active on the forums (I get that you're already pretty active on it, but people always fail to realize that 40% of the server happens on the forums)

@Galb
- I have stopped being so strict with caps and spam lately but am still working on it.
- I’ve begun to get more active on the forums but I don’t want to just comment on a bunch of things and call that being active on forums, I’m gonna try to comment on any new mod apps and more of the other topics.
Thank you for your analysis Galb.

Really helpful, active and obeys the rules and meets the standards of the server by far.

@Presinus=Rules are rules PERIOD. No offense but your reason -1ing this app is hilarious at best. Also persinus you cannt know why Randal could change opinion because staff have their own chat on discord and in-game so maybe there was some kind of context there that you cannt see. :)
@Pheonix2000ad= Lately Ive been really active except from the past 2 days that i was extremely busy and Randal hasnt given me that vibe.
@alpacafarm= I cannt see how Randal is powerhungry ROFL and all you do is talking smack about someone with no evidence. Bad.
@Pyrrhus= I dont think Randal is strict, I think some other staff in the past were too soft on some people.
@ghostAoi= Tbh he did well. Spamming isnt something i enjoy and many others agree with me and share the same feeling that i got for it. You are saying its fine is by your standards and the server doesn't go by your standards it goes with the communities standards. In addition to this if everyone spams 4 times something in like 10 seconds between each other the chat will be blasted with stupid things that i dont need to read 4 times and since pm and public chat share the same Box i may lose track of my pms ( for example) just because you wanted to say the same thing 4 times. I think that not letting anyone spam or use caps for a whole sentence is good because it keeps the server clean and more enjoyable. If you want to spam, spam in pm to that person that you please to be in the receiving end and dont spam everyone chat.
@galbby5= your statement was the best ive seen on this app. I cans see your points on what you say even tho i disagree with some of your suggestions but cheers. (mostly about the spam and caps tolerance thing, read the @ghostAoi on my comment to see why)

No offense to anyone I just wanted to state my opinion and critic some of the things some people have said on this topic because I really feel that a part of the community is "attacking" Randal some times just because he punished one of their friend or they got punished themselves and thats why they got mad (maybe) while if he would punish someone else for the same reason they wouldnt mind.

Cheers :D

Chriss, architects don't have staff chat.
Just because a rule exist, doesn't immediately mean it should be enforced under any and every condition. This is where being ethical and having discretion comes into play.
As a final note, we are talking about Randal (or Randito), not Ranthar.
