Some good advice for you.....

That's the spirit! Be positive

 

It's not the fact I am desperate for the Moderator title or desperate at all in anyway. I, myself was very well pleased with the new staff, and I believe there going to do a superb job at it.

The fact is that I did the best I could to help before and after applications were closed, through out all of the applications I have been through I did my best I was fit for the job. It's depressing I went through thirteen applications. However, this isn't going to change who I am or how I am. I will always be seeking ways to help out the community and will always help when I see the opportunity. Just that this time, I won't make a application when they are open. I believe I gave my all, and maybe that isn't enough which doesn't make me sad, it makes me feel good, because I know that through out my ECC playing time I have always tried to be the best possible and when writing each and every all of those thirteen applications, I also gave in my heart and soul. That's why I am proud of doing so.

Unfortunately I have came to the point where I feel that making a application for staff isn't something I am going to do anymore because I have already gone through thirteen, and obviously this means something.

Although I'm not applying anymore, this is me and I am not a very usual person to meet, I hope others don't feel like I do and even if you have made past thirteen applications I think you should continue doing so because it shows how much you want it and that you won't stop fighting for it.

Anyways, good luck for future candidates for the staff position and even more, good luck to the new staff!

 

I found this to be effective when i wasnt picked back before when i was chosen.
Reflect on yourself, think what you can do better not only for the server, but for yourself as well.
If youre going to mope around and feel sorry for yourself then go anead, but you arent doing anything beneficial. Look back on your app, back on your actions in game and think, think about what couldve been better, what you can do to improve yourself.
Ask what you could do better, ask what youve been doing wrong.

 

Amazing advice! I am really going for my 8th attempt next time, and i know that even if i don't get it then, that eventually i might get it...

 

Uh I don't really know what to think... Two times applying in a row and I wasn't chosen... Do I just stop applying? There's really no feedback from my staff app from the mods besides the fact that I wasn't chosen so I don't really know what to do.
And also, don't worry about not being known... I would say I am pretty known and I got 66 comments, 15 ratings, and 1.5k views and I didn't get accepted, so I wouldn't have that as a goal because I would rather have the mod apps comment free because the other mods don't care if someone says "+1 OJ would be a good mod" so that is kinda useless.
My second thought on being well known is that it doesn't matter, 3 out of those picks I have hardly ever heard a word from even though we are on at the same time, so really just focus on your staff app and helping people in game.

I am still not sure if I will apply again because as you may know, not getting picked and having NO feedback what so ever is just like a kick in the face because it feels like the mods are saying "you aren't good enough and you can't know why"

Just my thoughts.
(Although I may seem angry, I am not, it is the staffs choice and obviously they did not want me on their team, and I can accept that, that's how life goes. What I am a little frustrated with is the fact that I can't just get a PM saying "the staff team says you end to focus on X" because I have no clue what I need to improve on now and I am left wondering)

 

I think it was my ninth try at becoming a moderator but I'm not sure, but I always thought what have I got to lose. Nothing is the answer it's just having a go at something new :3

 

I have something to lose, i may be different but I lose hope and pride if I get denied, it clearly shows I am doing something wrong, but I can't find out what

 

think about this from the staff perspective.
If they gave feedback to you (or any other seemingly qualified candidate) then they would need to give feedback to everyone regardless of the applicant's viability, seriousness, or capability.
That would be a task too great for anyone, or everyone.

 

who defines "close"
possible questions
"why am i not 'close'?"
"how can i get 'close'?"

 

i dont wanna speak for staff but i seriously doubt it

 

Ya now I do see your point dork1877 but I am just speaking how I feel, I understand your point. It's similar to if you get scammed you want Andrew to just spawn you in the money, but then he would have to do it for everyone and it would ruin things. Lol

 

Even though this seems like an amazing thing, it truly isn't. If you are handed all the information to you on a silver platter whats the point? Staff don't have time to give a proper evaluation. Sometimes its better for you to think about it yourself. What did you do wrong? Maybe nothing. Its hard to get staff and its hard to get everyone to agree on you. Think about why you didn't yourself and instead of changing yourself for votes because staff said so, think about what you should do for yourself. I'm probably really confusing - just think of it as you are changing yourself to be good for staff rather then the staff changing you to be good for staff.

 

I

i agree, I understand how busy the staff are on all levels and I can totally see why giving you what you need is too easy.

 

Maybe study the staff that is chosen
