Do you even actually want to be staff? Why? What reason? Because a good few times now, you've resigned due to being 'frustrated' with this, then come and say you don't 'foresee' being at that point anymore. I just think there's a temperament thing there that probably needs addressed. Give it awhile.

I think you should just enjoy being in the community again for the time being and come back to thinking about applying for staff in a few months.

This application was made with the anticipation that it would have a very uphill battle of being accepted, similarly to this one. Last time, the issue was whether or not I could be trusted not to leak staff chat, whereas this time it's whether or not I can have a stable commitment.

I mainly was making this application to receive feedback and try and improve on possible issues. A general consensus is that the team is afraid that I will just go through another cycle and phase out, which I would be quite stupid to try and suggest that isn't a legitimate concern. This is why I had to make sure this wasn't a spur of the moment decision as I didn't want to waste anyone's time with a "shitpost" application. If I didn't want to do it, I wouldn't have applied. I respect the current team and the community too much to troll it with something like that; plus that'd be a waste of my own time too. 


To answer your question, Rand: Yes, I do want to be staff for Discord again regardless of if I am accepted or not with this application. The reason why is I want to be able to help delegate the workload of the Discord, as the ratio between Discord Staff members specifically and community members is astronomically high. I like the members on the Discord Staff team and I know I can work well with them because I've done it before. 

I completely understand why this is a concern considering you've seen it happen twice; however, there was an element that both of my resignations had in common and as I had stated previously would do differently this time: I would only want to staff Discord and have no intention of being staff anywhere else.  The main issue of what caused my burnout was never Discord staff, as I actually really enjoyed doing that.

It was trying to balance staffing both Discord and TTT  while also dealing with personal life situations that made me frustrated, and I've learned from my mistakes to not try and spread myself out too thin.

If this was to be denied, I'd put myself on a 2 month period at minimum before I'd apply again. If I felt the same way when I was able to make another application, I would make another. There's no reason for me to try and apply a month from the day it was denied as it would still be the same issue. Maybe those concerns never will go away, I cannot determine how you all approach how I feel about it at that point, but at the very least, if it's denied, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing to support the community; in my eyes, the staff role is nothing more than a title, it's what people who are in those positions do that make them leaders. 


Thanks for your concerns and honesty, I really appreciate you not sugarcoating things or having blind bias because we're friends, it means a lot.

You checked the forums when drunk; that's dedication right there.


Joking aside, I'm sure you have concerns that are just as valid as everyone else's and look forward to seeing it.
