I'll Be Back, Maybe

[BopI]

Please read through the whole thing before commenting.
This thread was not to build up hate, but to list grievances.
EDIT: Look, I am not that kind of guy who is really patient, okay?
Lately, I have been applying for builder and, well, I seem to be under appreciated.
You see, I could not apply fro builder using the web app because the photos were "too large", and I made a convo with Zoey and Ally. What I had was hard work from building and hours writing and editing my bio. And I got this
"We don't need builders right now."
So I waited, and saw that several builders had made the team. I was slightly annoyed, but I kept on waiting. Finally, several builders said they were taking "breaks" or leaving the build team. I saw this as my chance to apply, so I reapplied and got this:
"We don't need builders right now."
I was furious. Several builders had joined when they also should have been barred with the "We don't need builders right now." message, but it happened! The two obviously have time to read through my essay, and it feels like they totally ignored it! And yes, maybe they did read the whole thing, but that would have just increased they're satisfaction from the useless work I had done. The corruptness I had seen here was so obnoxious that I immediately went to work on this thread. It was almost like Zoey and Ally wanted to have that reaction! Was that they're plan all along? Are they trying to say to me that I am trash, to the one who worked on countless maps and stuff? It is very clear to me that from the start, I had no chance of getting into the build team AT ALL, which is why I am leaving temporarily.

I am starting to think that BrokenLens was not worth my time.
I may come back after thinking these thoughts over.
If any staff members modify this, I will obviously see that they do not want the general public to see things like this, and that they are corrupt (in my opinion).
Cya.

You know, you can’t just get things that you’ve always wanted right away, even if you tried hard, it happens sometimes, either you’re lucky, or not (not saying it in a rude way) And I understand, even though I never applied for builder, nor helper, but I guess I knew the answer in the first place, perhaps there might be another reason why you can’t apply, I mean I don’t know. I Guess, be patient? And the things that you’ve always wished may come true one day. Anyways, good luck with life.

It is surprising to me, though, that they IMMEDIATELY tossed away my application, and that I had waited over 3 months too. -.-

First of all, builders were accepted before you applied so don’t try to pull that card.
3 builders were accepted on October 11, 2019. 1 more builder was accepted November 5, 2019.
You first applied November 6, 2019. I know the first convo was started on the 5, but you actually submitted the whole description and pictures on the 6.
We really did not need anymore builders! Especially when you applied the second time on January 4, 2020.

I, personally, I’m not sure about Ally, haven’t been accepted people due to what happened with past builders and something I cannot speak of right now.
You had a chance Bopl, you really did but quite honestly, this, trying to ‘expose us’ in a way ruined any chance. I’m sorry but you did this to yourself.

You know, two years ago I wanted to be a helper because I was frustrated over the fact that so many people can get away with things that can kill other players' enjoyment and replace it with frustration and anger, and I just wanted the server to be fair. I was so obsessed in becoming one that I became addicted to forums, checking it 24/7, gaining lots of followers, spamming people with likes until 11pm, etc. It would frustrate me when I would check on my reports to see that they're invalid, and I became more frustrated than ever because the player/s that I reported would get away with it.

At the beginning of last year, I learnt a few things.
1. The real world is more important and amazing than the online world. I joined forums because I was struggling with my relationships and often found myself with no friends back then. But now that I have a strong friendship group, I found that I didn't need forums as a way to support myself. So I cut off ties with BL and appear every now and then just reporting players and vibing lol. The point is, the real world is more important than forums. Being addicted to here and Minecraft in general isn't healthy, and there are so many opportunities out there to grab. And sometimes forums does get sh*tty and you just need to take a break and get back to the real world. In addition to all of that, you can't hang around on forums for the rest of your life - there's school and college and jobs and family and all of that sh*t, which is more important than vibing on a Minecraft server, because if you don't get life straight, then you're screwed.
(sorry about that long asf paragraph lmao)
- and
2. Life isn't fair. So why should a Minecraft server be fair. Yes you feel frustrated because the teamers aren't being banned and because you haven't been promoted as a builder/helper even when there were multiple opportunities to. But so what? When I had a long break from here last year, I left thinking that the server and staff team were corrupt. But really, they saw through me and saw that I wasn't fit to be part of the team, because I wasn't fit. I respect their decisions as well, because yes I was pretty much faking a super nice personality on forums when irl I'm not as nice and often rage. To summarise this ranting lmao, life isn't fair, so why should the server be fair. Just bite your tongue and accept that yes, everything isn't fair.

Sorry for the rant above haha, but yea, the staff team isn't corrupt, they make the right choices, and I respect your decision in taking a break Bop, because ngl breaks are necessary when you're part of this forums lmao

I honestly would have never thought of it like this. However, for me, it's still something I wish to pursue. I find time to joggle being here and keeping to real life to prevent it becoming unhealthy for me. But, your post has just opened my mind to many more things. Like how they view me in terms of being a valid person for the job. Even with my schedule, I always find time to be here, and it's not because it's a priority. But because being here is something I cherish. I'm here because it's my choice to be here.

Still your words moved me in many ways I didn't think about. I still continue to pursue my dream yes, but I don't hold it against myself or anyone whether I'm chosen or not. I don't worry about things like that. It's not a waste of time at all, it's a learning experience. Yea, so what you didn't make the team, but you still made amazing builds and did what you loved. No one forced you to do that. and no one said they didn't value your hard work.

Yes we may tend to take over the staffs jobs, but we only do it to help, and in the long run it helps them too. Most of their work happens in the server, constantly being called back and forth from many games, and friending hundreds of people to try to meet their needs. It's stressing. But if answering a question or helping someone in need helps to lighten their load, then I'll do it. Because we want to put others before ourselves. No one is being selfish when they don't answer you or accept you. Like you said we all have lives, and we have to live them. They volunteer to be here and help. It's not their job, and most of them are still teens, they have lives, school, parents, etc. So we can't assume anything really, or get mad at them.

I try to be very open and honest about how I feel to everyone. Because, why not. Yes, you might need to keep an appearance, but is it really 100% worth it? I'd rather people know when I'm hurting because I don't want to hide it and lash out at someone because they don't know. Everyone has bad days, and we worry and care because we love you. So don't hold it against the staff. They are making the right choices because they know what's best for the community as a whole, and they are just looking out for you and everyone else. I know it is very unfair, but it's life. We just have to learn and move on. If you didn't make the team, okay. But does that mean your maps were useless? Pointless. No, they still hold value. They don't have to be featured in a server to show that. If you have friends, invite them and show them.

No one came out and said the didn't value your work. Just because it wasn't replied to right away doesn't mean it wasn't seen. It takes months-years of hard work and effort to make a name or spot for yourself. Others just get lucky. You applied just recently, so do't get mad because it's not going your way. Remember there are thousands of people who play the server, and that's hundreds of applications for spots they have to go through. did you ever come to that realization? And with so many people leaving that's twice as many applying..

So yes, I don't care if people view me as a staff's pet, try-hard, or anything. Because I know what my focus and priorities are. And whether I'm accepted or not I will not change, waver, or become toxic because I wasn't picked. And I will never hold it against anyone. I will still continue to help out, answer questions, and doing my thing. Because, it's my choice and it's what I cherish. Remember your title doesn't define you, your actions do.

So I'd be careful about what you do because someone is always watching. You have people who look up to you, admire you, and learn from you. You have people over you who notice your works, support you, and invest in you. So if your trying to become an example, set one first! I use to be the person to make a mask and act happy, but when I saw how it was effecting my life, I ripped that mask off. I don't have to hide how I feel, I can be honest with everyone, I am not judged so why should I care. If you got something against me oh well, if the opinion of 1 person out of 100 really mattered to me then I'd be living a miserable life. If your frustrated then show it, but going about it like this "exposing people" proves nothing.

Sorry for all the messages too....;w;....I felt like what I needed to say was appropriate for the occasion...

imo i see where you’re coming from but also don’t rly allow it to get to your head. there’s more fun stuff to do other than being builder. i’m not on brlns in the day often bc i do the important stuff then, and bc this time of year my mom or i have 2 diff doctors appointments halfway across the state from each other so i’m busy then. my point is don’t get mad at the staff for this but also don’t quit the server. just take breaks/be on more after you get the important stuff done

My turn- I 100% agree with what Zoey said. We never "threw away" your application we just told you being pushy about it would not get you on the team. You also went to Zoey's profile page to ask her about it. You can't badger people into making you part of the build team. I am now going to post my exact response in the conversation you started with Zoey and I about becoming a builder that I sent to you BEFORE I saw this rant.

I would also like to add that this is exactly why we do not accept people strictly on their building skills because you have skills- but this is hateful.
