DISCLAIMER: THIS IS STRICTLY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
*Insert Title Here*
Introduction/Claim
Okay, straight to the point: Here’s my evidence and reasoning for why I don’t think you’ll become a staff member.
1) Past Mistakes
People say forgive and forget, but is that really a smart idea? For example, let’s say an ex-child murderer decided to become a preschool teacher. Simply because of the fact that he/she has changed, and wants to start anew. Although the person might have truly changed for the better, society wouldn’t accept it. In fact, they would be flat-out enraged.
I personally think Spike has changed. At least, moved on from the lies that caused people to hate him in the first place. The thing is, people can forgive only forgive to a certain degree. I’m sure people can forgive you, but they certainly wouldn’t be rushing to give you a rank anytime soon. Past mistakes are a thing we all have to acknowledge. They will always be a part of you, whether you like it or it.
2) Attitude
Why do you always play the pity card? It might work once, but it doesn’t work all the time. You’re only the victim of your own actions. Sympathy alone won’t get you a staff rank. The world doesn’t revolve around a single preson’s emotions, it revolves around the shared thoughts and opinions of many people. Also, I noticed you are offended by the littlest things. Feeling offended doesn’t help anyone, it just makes everything worse. Maybe acting reasonable and logical would help you gain more supporters.
Listen to the people who criticize you, don’t drown them out in praise and understanding. Let it affect you, but in such a way you’re inspired to become a better person. I always point out my flaws and try to self-improve. For example, I’m a hypocrite, the very thing I despise. Don’t just say you’ve changed, prove it by being the person you claim to be.
3) Other Reasoning
Spike, you’re pretty good at English; but I’ve noticed your sentences are usually vague and can have different meanings to them. Clarity and accuracy is crucial when you’re a staff member. You can’t just say, “Hello! You will holpefully be unbanned in a given amount of time.” This is okay when you’re a member trying to help out, but nothing more. This point is easily debunk-able, considering other people’s understanding and interpretation of the English language.
I personally think there are people equally capable and deserving of the staff rank. For example,
@RuinaOceana and
@LightningFire96 both help out around the forums. Of course, I’m not trying to deny the fact you help others as well. You do an incredible job, and I can respect that. I think any member of the staff here can tell you being a staff member takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You’re not the only candidate for a rank, anyone who helps out around the forums can be taken into consideration.
Conclusion
You’re a great person Spike, I know you are. You’ve helped me from the start and I admire all the hard work you put into the forums. My point is, you have to change. Maybe there’s a slight chance you’ll become a staff member in the future, maybe #SpikeForAdmin will become a reality. But for now, please concentrate on self-improvement and keep on helping others in need. Thanks for reading this long-donkey post and have a fantabulous day!
EDIT: I spent a hour on this instead of studying. I should totally become a lawyer. XD
Nice name. If only my parents would give me such a great name. :/
