Yes, you should use your denials and criticisms to improve and I'm happy to see you have.
However, I cannot agree with your statement that just because you haven't gotten the rank you've applied for makes the community any less mature. You had your negatives and I spoke with you about them, and I thought that it would end then and there. As I said, your knowledge of the rules could use improvement, who's doesn't? Keep playing and reviewing the rules, i'm sure you'll get it in time.

It's true, to get accepted you need to be in good terms of higher members so they vote yes for you in the meeting. Rip
Not true whatsoever, I don't believe that's what Elemental was trying to say in this post. To get accepted, you need to respect everyone, but no you do not have to like them. Being good with "higher" members will do you no good if the rest of the team see's negatives about an applicant.
