Morgrim RedBright Mod Application

I never see you attempting to enforce rules. Rather letting it happen.

Never tried contacting me. I'm available pretty much all the time after 3 pm est.

Not really active on the forums. I know this may be hard since like no one posts anything, but still.
Room to improve. Potential.

 

I fully support & vouch for Morgan's application, he is a well known and respected member of this community & has proven countless times of his knowledge of the rules.
Thank you for applying and best of luck my friend

 

There’s a line between fun and maintaining said fun. At least for me, maintaining the fun is to keep people from breaking rules, aka being a mod/admin. I personally find the best way to do this is being very straight forward and serious. Playing with me while we’re in discord together will sound very different from how people see me on the servers.

The comment where you were attempting to enforce a rule and yet also having fun contradict each other, it makes your remark look like a joke. If someone were to correct me and follow up with an insult, I don’t think I’d take their word for it.

 

Like, I’ve seen him many many times he’s average, though he made some mistakes due to reds post, i understand that he isn’t trying to “Ruin” Morgan’s application but those mistakes can be learned and he can improve, for right now I’m going to leave it in potential see how he does in the future.

+/- Potential

 

I would like to change my response to this application, I deleted the last message for the sake of minimizing confusion

I guess I can start off with a +support, and give my usual long response of reasons why this applicant is THE best one currently applying, if any higher ups are reading this, I highly urge you to think, that while no, we don't truly have any staff that are abusing or need to be replaced right now, he can be an addition without the expense of someone else


1. Time

I have looked over a bit on this users schedule, just casually checking in on the times he's on, and I must say i'm impressed with the variety

6am
12pm
3pm
8pm
12am

you will see this user either on or available at specific times like these where others can not get on. I believe that it is imperative that a moderator has a flexible schedule, and I believe he is one of the best shots at a flexible schedule we have right now


2. dedication

As obvious, this user made this application in march 18th, it's been 2 months, and this is around the time I see people giving up, I haven't heard him ever say "damn, my application is being ignored" or "I might as well give up" I know this is something the people that accept applications look for, and there isn't much expanding to do on this topic

3. Extensive Knowledge

Not only of the rules, but this applicant shows knowledge about the community itself, and the intricacies of how it works, I believe this is something all staff have, or need to have, many other mod applicants can tell you a handful of moderators and what not, but this user can have an in depth conversation about the history of idleserver, the types of people that play, and tell me how people treat each other by name, It makes him relatable for a user, it makes him trusted and someone you can call on with a smile, because this also shows he cares about the servers

4. Fun

Morgan shows a great sense of humor, and a clean way of taking jokes, this is obviously good for two things, for one he can get on, and not be just "that moderator" but be "Morgan Redbright" which sounds stupid, but I know the community mostly sees Staff as tools to be used, when a member can share a laugh, and rely on someone as a person, and a player at the same time, it helps the community grows stronger, even if more people don't necessarily join, it keeps the current players, and a strong community is better for everyone

However I do have one Bad thing, however I include this for just about everyone, because no application is perfect, and there's always things people can work on


5. Maturity

While this is stated in point 6, it should be stated in a different point all together (and yes I wrote point 6 before point 5) Maturity is the ability to know when to laugh, when to care, when to help, and when to act. It's how we become socially acceptable people, and well liked people. Again there is nothing more important as a person, than a sense of responsibility, trust, and know how


Sometimes too strong of a sense of humor

Practically to sum it up, when morgan is online with people he knows well (from idleserver of course, I don't mean irl friends) he tends to be choppier, he makes a lot of jokes, does a little bit of talking over warden, and borderline rude comments to people in a "joking manner" while this isn't terrible, it is just something I personally believe Morgan can work on, something I stated in my last response, however he has gotten better than before which actually gives him a bonus point

6. The ability to understand

Morgan is a smart man, no doubt in that, he's very attentive and he studies the intricacies of the people that play to better know them, while this just sounds like stalking, it does three things, One it helps bad situations to not appear, Two it helps to peacefully diffuse bad situations, and finally it gives him the understanding to change when needed, this shows maturity as well, which is more important in my opinion than really anything else



Not as long as I wanted it to be, but Still I think I gently summed up my points on why this application should get a



+support

 

I feel there is far too much controversy and when it is cleared up we can have a better judgement. However, from my personal experiences with this person, I do not see anything wrong with him. While his act is not clean, and he may be a bit controversial, who wasn't? I think that condemning him for those actions would take away from the fact that he is knowledgeable of the rules and very active. It's a +support for me.

(but you gotta clean up your act bro)

~ciao,
doc

 

Changing my vote to support for staff. I have seen him play a lot more, and he actively tries to enforce the rules. My biggest hope is that you won't be one of the people that stops playing 2 months after being a moderator.

 

Changing mine to +support fully lol sorry for confusion.

 

I just realized I never posted on here. Morgan has the activity, the knowledge, and the attitude to become a great moderator.

 

Big time

+Support
