I think I've interacted with Ashe more than most staff, so I believe I can clarify some things before I give my +/-.
In regards to what Triangle and Pauling said about nitpicking, the reason Ashe really hasn't nitpicked anything of late is because I took the time to explain things from a staff point of view in detail.
In particular, most of the nitpicking was in the discord about ghosting evidence, and I explained in discord DMs what kind of proof rises to the threshold to have a ghosting ban stick. As you can see in Ashe's last ghosting ban request, she took my advice/explanation to heart. I'm not sure giving a -1 based on nitpicking in the past is entirely fair since 1. we honestly could do a better job of clearly explaining ghosting evidence on the forums and 2. after I explained things, Ashe stopped nitpicking about ghosting evidence. If anything, this shows that she is trainable (which is a good thing).
Next, what Nuru said was very interesting and brings about the question "If a donor chooses to use their powers, should they apply those powers to everyone in the lobby equally?". I think the correct answer to this question is yes. Giving multiple warnings to friends/regulars instead of gagging them when gags have been given out to other random players isn't techincally against the rules as they are written (since donors are never required to use their commands), but is a valid reason to scrutinize this staff application. Staff members have to be impartial and apply the rules equally.
Ashe: if you are concerned about how your friends/regulars will perceive you if you use your commands on them, you should make it abundantly clear to everyone that getting punished for breaking the rules is not a personal attack on them, but rather cause and effect. If you break the rules (cause), then you are punished in some way (effect). This has served me well.
My score: +0.5. I'd be fine with you joining staff as Trusted. I'd also be fine with you waiting a bit before joining the staff team. You'd need a lot of training which I'll volunteer to staff with you a bunch of times to support you until you're up to speed. You've done a great job DMing me with questions when staff are not online to handle things.
