Honestly Jax, I'm really glad you brought this up because I most certainly have something to say about it.

Firstly, people shouldn't be repetitively sending in applications week after week, why? Because it makes them look like they're basically begging for the position, rather than putting in the time and effort to change what is a fault for them, which to my understanding, LT will let them know AFTER the meeting. It's in my opinion that people shouldn't apply unless they feel more than confident they're ready and certain about moving up, as at the end of the day, if all you want is feedback, you could just as easily ask people? There's no need to make an application week after week, because it simply makes you look like you're begging for the position, which is why I'm more than happy that Miia put one in, because Miia understands this. On top of which, people shouldn't be allowed to reapply week after week, I don't know why that is even allowed, but it shouldn't be. It's honestly ridiculous seeing the same person week after week of being denied for valid reasons, to just submit another one again.

Secondly, there's a lot of issues I saw with the meeting and how it was handled, and considering that it was my first meeting in over four years, that says a lot. People who put things into chat shouldn't be ignored, they are the ones who should be seen first, and the people who keep speaking gotta stop speaking over each other, it's idiotic and obnoxious to hear every time something is brought up five people start all talking at once. While I know people brought things up usually as a concern, I believe there's better ways for these type of things to be brought up, such as asking for permission to speak, and not just blurting your whole thing out at once, while others do the same thing and neither one of them stop. I've been apart of many different communities, some more hardcore about things than others, but there's a lot of simple things that don't require people to act hardcore, which is simply ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO SPEAK. I can't stress this one enough, because while I understand people wanted to bring things to others attention, I really did feel like wanting to leave the meeting time after time just because how obnoxious I thought people were being while in a meeting of all things. I get we all want to have fun and chat with each other, but the meeting isn't the place man, we're all there for a single reason, and that's NOT about your life story, or even about you, we're there as staff members who are attending our weekly server meeting, that is it.

[quote="Jax" post=856825]My opinion on this is all the other currently applying SA's are trying so fucking hard to speak more in meetings, trying to do what people gave them feedback to do, and have spent week after week trying. Personally i would see it as unfair for the people who have applied for weeks and weeks and have committed themselves to become SA and actually voice to voice communicate to LT. Sure miia being around for a long time but i think we should think more about time as time does not give you LT qualities but dedication to the role will. Sure miia is active in-game and does have leadership skills and knows probably more than i do about TTT but there is barely any communication if any communication with the LT and you use text chat in meetings which nearly all the time get ignored which is good you try to put your input in but if you were actually trying hard for SA you would use mic which brings to the point that other people are trying much harder than you when it comes to applying for SA. Also kyber actually tries to use mic and tries to speak and he still being getting denied all the time and everyone just keeps telling him to talk more constantly and dodo i believe is great candidate as well as gurren. But hey i'm an ex-SA now no longer actual LT but that does not mean i can't think like a LT member still so my point is there are people who actually try hard to become SA and i don't believe you are trying as hard as people like dodo and gurren and kyber. If anyone thinks im wrong feel free to tell me what i am incorrect about.[/quote] Honestly Jax, I'm really glad you brought this up because I most certainly have something to say about it.
