[Salty]

i forgot hi im not going to explain a whole lot bc everyone else kinda said what i was thinking

but yeah i dont think youre really committed at all to this, i mean you only rejoined the discord about a month ago

-1 im not drunk anymore tho

I respect your opinion, but I'm not entirely sure what I've said in this thread seems to  suggest to you that I am not "committed at all." It'd be one thing if I made an obvious shitpost application or were arguing with everyone who has had criticism, but I've feel as if I've made it pretty clear that I am committed to this. As I said earlier on this thread, all I'd be doing if I were posting a shitpost would be wasting my own time. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to explain what makes you think that.

Your a good man salty I think you just have a hard time dealing with roadblocks when they pop up and as long as your committed to trying to improve that then I will always support an app from you.

This has been something that I have working on in my personal life too; it's definitely gotten better as time has progressed but I'd be lying if I said that I don't still struggle with this. It's a constant battle to try and improve this. Usually now I just know when to take a step back and then come back to something later if I know that I'm not in a good headspace; I appreciate your feedback.

What benefit do you get from staffing a bunch of retards who complain, start drama, and have the maturity levels of a middle school boy?

You already teach children as a profession, I don't know why you would want to moderate children as a hobby

These are good points. The benefit I get from staffing this group of miscreants (this is going to sound selfish but it's not supposed to come across that way) is developing better skills with patience for myself. As you mentioned, I intend to teach children as a profession, and in my own humble opinion, I believe that working as a Helper on Discord would help me improve my problem solving skills, which believe it or not, my prior experiences as staff have translated to my classroom management philosophy too. Some of the approaches I've taken here aren't appropriate for a K-12 school setting obviously, but I can modify it. Also, working with a team is something I can continue to always get better at.

In exchange for me growing as a person through being in a team with others, I also can try and limit the harassment that goes on, as I use the discord fairly regularly and catch on to things. Something I've already been doing is whenever the conversations start to get hostile, I attempt to deter it rather than feed into it. I may be aggressive with it at times, but my intentions are to try and make the community where we can just chat and not argue constantly. 


Hope my response makes sense and doesn't come across as me sounding as if I am only doing this for myself, because that isn't the case.
