*UPDATED VOTE* 

Lemon, I want you to know that I am just coming from a place of honesty without bias. I feel you need to see honesty rather than false support. Know that this comes from wanting you to succeed, not petty malice.


Jammin and Ryzif present some solid points that I wasn't thinking about when I ultimately made this post and I didn't really consider that until I played with you yesterday.


I think you've come a very long way since when I used to regularly interact with you in terms of emotional maturity, but I did play with you yesterday and I can safely say that I in some way agree with them. I think you need more time as trusted to work on these dents in your armor as a staff member. I think you will make a great T-Mod, but now is not the time for it. Obviously I have no idea what's going on in the staff discord nor do I really care in this particular situation; however, if you want to be considered a higher-up in the staff bracket, you must obviously have the respect of the staff team in order to achieve that. One thing that you still struggle with at times is that you seem to be argumentative and not willing to admit when you made a mistake. Leaders make mistakes all the time, so the fact that Ryzif was calling you out for something you were still continuing to do is NOT a good look. In fact, the relay thing is honestly the reason why we as donors cannot use it anymore; for situations like that. Again, I haven't played recently so I haven't experienced that myself but I will say that I trust Ryzif to be honest about it being broken 24 times. I would have checked it myself to see if it was an exaggeration, but I cannot check relay so I am going to have faith in him to be truthful about this.


In your defense, however, English is not your primary language so I understand why you might need to constantly ask something repeatedly to make sure. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS ME INSULTING YOUR INTELLIGENCE, that is not what I'm trying to say. I think that the asking the same thing over and over situation might stem from a lack of clear communication between you and the other members of the team, but this could be a reach larger than saying the moon landing is faked. Again, I don't know, as I'm not on the staff team. 

I feel that ultimately, you need some more time to develop as a team player and for that reason I have changed my vote from a +1 to a -1.

Please continue to develop and grow as a staff member. I say you wait a while before reapplying, maybe 2 months to show that you can stop doing the "troll" stuff as much and also be more cooperative; staffing is a team activity, not individual based, do not forget that. 

Best of luck to you, Lemon. I hope to see you continue to grow and be a solid pillar of the community. For now, I don't think you're ready. You will be soon though.

 yet when someone who has most of the community's support in becoming a t-mod wants to rise the ranks of staff, yall nitpick and question little things. 

When someone wants to rise to a higher rank, there is a higher sense of responsibility that comes with it. Sure, it may be a Garry's Mod server but the higher ranked staff have more responsibility and influence in situations. I cannot speak for everyone else, but I want Lemon to be successful at being a staple staff member in the community. I just don't think she's ready for it just yet; these little things that are going on are what separate decent staff from excellent staff.

I will say this though: I understand wanting to protect the "integrity" of the staff discord, but I find it to be a tad petty to bring something up that someone cannot defend publicly. I think that is extremely unfair to Lemon, and makes her reputation look significantly worse than what might have happened. If someone's not allowed to defend something publicly, you shouldn't be able to share that as a "con" publicly either.

That's all I have to say on this app. Good Luck on your app, Lemon!
