Reviewing!

I'm honestly not sure what to think about your application. The first thing I did was look through your previous history. Specifically, the following threads:

I noticed a few things. (1) You lied several times, but you did ultimately confess to lying. You did so implicitly in the X-ray situation, which worried me more than when you explicitly confessed to and apologized for lying. (2) You seemed sincere in your last few posts when you said that you'd learned your lesson and took actions to remedy the behavior that got you banned. This is encouraging. (3) You were unbanned by the admins/mods who had originally banned you. This is important because it shows that the servers where you misbehaved were willing to give you a chance.

Then I came back to your application and noticed that you disparaged the admins and mods of your previous servers, claiming that they banned you for "messing around" which the staff took "too seriously." This shows me that you're not willing to take responsibility for your actions, and that you were being insincere when you apologized in the threads I linked to above. Then you admit to actively working to get banned when you wanted to leave a server, which is also concerning. I worry about people who like burning bridges.

All of this makes me sad because until reading your actual application, I was going to upset you. The admins and mods who banned you before (and later unbanned you) were professional and even forgiving in ways that I don't necessarily think I would have been.

Because of all of this, I won't be accepting your application at this time.

I have changed since then and I'm willing to work positively to benefit the community in this server. I know that I acted childishly before, and I have acted irresponsible as well, but if there's one this you can take from me its that though I did many bad things before, I can help others and I can contribute to the community creatively. I don't know you as a server admin, or as a general person, but I can tell you care more about the players in your server than any other admins that I've ever encountered. On other servers they wouldn't even take the time to look deep into the past of my previous banns which proves this server is very responsible. If you could give me a chance to play on this server, and prove that I can change, and help the server community I would appreciate it, but if not i understand and hope I could get the chance to play on this server one day.

I like your reply a lot. Give me a few hours to think about this and confer with some of my fellow staff. I'd love to give you every chance to demonstrate your ability to grow and change. In the meantime, please join us on our greylisted FFA world Warshard.

I've thought about it, and I'm gonna do like Joe.to. Despite what you said about them in your application, they did welcome you back, and they didn't ban you after that. So... Welcome to Herocraft! Check your PMs.

Be good to us! And we'll be good to you.
