After discussing with Lukas about this over the past few days and here's my opinion:
I've known Joe for longer than i'd like to think and from personal experience I believe Joe to be one of the most honest, truthful, friendly, helpful, and decent human beings around. He only ever wants to help and I
have seen a change over the past few months. You have matured (even if its only slightly) and you have shown remorse for your previous actions as admin. I remember you putting this up and me thinking "I'll give a negative because *reasons similar to Broski*" HOWEVER; I believe, that you do want to help the community, and though DR isn't in dire need of any trials, saying that Creepz is fully active is a slight bit of misinformation. Though it says he is active, he connects for about 20 mins and then leaves. Joe is very similar to Creepz in this matter in that they only connect for brief amounts of time (from the MOST recent connections) and so both candidates are perfect for the role. Right, now what I really want to address, the previous
negative comments:
Broski:
Broski and Joe have known each other for a long time and Joe has the tendency to get on Broski's nerves with his persistence (not always a bad thing) and so I'm fine with what Broski has to say, that's how he feels Joe will react.
Hurley:
There is nothing wrong in asking for support, though it does seem like he's begging, he's asking you as a friend whether you have got his back or not. You shouldn't change his opinion based on the fact that Broski has a personal feud with him.
Skiffa:
OMG Really!? You're going to give him a minus vote for wanting to be your friend!? You kick him from your mumble channel, you ignore him when he tries to talk to you!? He tries to be nice to you and you throw it all back in his face. Again, all he wants is to be friends with the community and get along with everyone and you are adamant on not letting him do so because... you just don't like him. Plain and simple.
Redspike:
You're basing your opinion off what others think rather than your own personal opinions, but whatever, I've done this before so I won't critique you.
Madact:
I was expecting a +1 from you. After encouraging Joe to upload his app after he was so apprehensive about uploading it. After talking with Joe, he isn't worried what people think of him, he is worried what we, as his
friends think about him, which should matter. I'm concerned what everyone is going to think of me after I post this, some of you may think I'm a complete arsehole and other will think it's somewhat gutsy to go with minority when the majority are all my
best friends and this may puncture their opinions on me, but whatever.
Ka:
You're basing your opinion off what others think rather than your own personal opinions, but whatever, I've done this before so I won't critique you.
After much thought, I'm going to give Joe my
+1 because:
- I've seen change in him.
- It's a trial period, if it doesn't work out we simply remove him.
- I've truly seen change in Joe, I can't explain it in words, but I feel like he has proven himself decent enough to become (at least) a trial admin.
Thanks, hope you don't get overly offended by this of some shit like that.
