All of this is based on my personal observations and inferences. I don't know you that well as a person, so tell me if any of my judgments are incorrect or unfair.

Firstly, your attitude doesn’t really indicate to me that you can commit to a staff position. In the months you’ve been here, you’ve commented numerous times on your disdain for the wiki and/or its users, and have announced several times in chat that you were thinking of leaving. Either this is a sign of undependability or of attention seeking behaviour, neither of which are befitting of a staff member.

One of the things required of a staff member is the ability to deal with conflict maturely and in an unbiased fashion. Numerous times, you have proven yourself to be highly reactive and insensitive towards other users. Here is one example where you treated another user unprofessionally due to differences in opinion: http://yandere-simulator.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:163555

You seem to be impatient with others and place blame on them quickly. While sometimes helpful in promptly reporting rulebreakers, you also have a tendency to become offended very easily: http://yandere-simulator.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:158312 http://i.imgur.com/YDQNMNF.jpg

This alone might not disqualify you from a staff position, and it’s possible that one’s behaviours can change and improve with time. A few times, I’ve seen you acknowledge these problems and express a desire to improve. However, I do not think you have yet reached the point where I would consider you for staff. Just recently, I received this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/auNfLB1.png

Regardless of the people involved, I do not believe creating a private chatroom solely for “hating on” someone is appropriate behaviour. The fact that you were allegedly sharing this with others to promote hate against the user in question is also highly concerning. Your history, combined with this incident, says to me that you are likely to let personal conflicts impair your judgment.

Were you elected to the moderation team, I would have a difficult time working alongside you for all these reasons and more. I have been led to believe that you harbour a grudge against me for inexplicable reasons. The following is my account of the incident that apparently led to these posts: http://yandere-simulator-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:220437

During a fairly low activity time in chat, Allora stated that she was leaving for the fanon wiki’s chatroom. Her stated reason was something along the lines of “they have a better sense of humour.” Being the humourless alien that I am, I was rather curious about this and joined the fanon chat as well to see what exactly they had that we didn’t. I was followed by TheGamerKid678, who was of the same mind.

Please note that I have never been a fanon user, and have only visited the fanon chat on occasion. Some fanon users may recognize me, but I seldom communicate with anyone that isn’t also a canon wiki user.

Upon arriving in the fanon chat, it was also fairly empty. I greeted Allora and asked to hear a joke. For some reason, this led to annoyance and the accusation that we were “going too far.” The rest of chat was unresponsive, so Gamer and I attempted to lighten the mood by telling jokes of our own, albeit very mediocre ones. Nothing noteworthy occurred and no one engaged us in conversation, so soon after we both left.

I thought nothing of this event, but within a few days I was visited in our chat by fanon users asking why Gamer and I had “trolled” the fanon wiki chat. We were of course confused by this. I wondered whether there had been some misunderstanding. However, I was told that Allora was allegedly accusing me of spamming inappropriate video links, and that there were witnesses to this incident. Despite this claim, none of the people I spoke to had personally seen the incident, no other specific witnesses were named, there were no screenshots, and I heard nothing from the fanon moderation team.

No screenshots or records of our fanon conversation were kept by me either, for the simple reason that nothing happened. I did not expect to be accused of anything simply for daring to crack corny jokes. Perhaps I should have investigated this further and attempted to communicate with the fanon wiki, but since I was not even a fanon user I didn’t really care what was happening there. I eventually shrugged it off. I’m not sure what this fictional incident was supposed to accomplish - ruin my nonexistent reputation on the fanon wiki? On the canon? I certainly never heard this story from canon users, so I guess it was invented specifically to amuse or enrage fanon users. No idea.

This incident had minimal effect on me, but Gamer seemed quite distraught that Allora was apparently angry with him through no fault of his own. You can see in the linked thread how he felt the need to apologize just for making some puns, all because he didn't want to lose another friend. This dishonesty is not behaviour that I would ever accept from a friend, let alone a staff member.

I expected to be confronted by Allora at some point, but it never happened. No explanation, no accusations, no apologies. I was confused but didn't think to pursue it further. Maybe I should have. I’m sorry for bringing this up now publicly rather than resolving the matter, but I think it is now relevant.

So, Allora. I have no reason to believe that you have any trust or respect for me, and I don't think I can in good conscience place any faith in you.

This long wall of text isn’t meant to be harsh or demeaning. I’m sorry if any of this causes you hurt. I know you’re still young, and when I say I have no faith in you it’s only regarding you in this precise snapshot of your life. You have more potential than this. I know everyone has their personal hurdles, and I don’t doubt that you are capable of overcoming them like any human being. We all wish you nothing but the best, but you will only achieve this if you strive to become your best. This means taking the time to work on your own issues. It means being honest with yourself. It means reaching out to and respecting the people who care about you.

You made this post less than two months ago: http://yandere-simulator.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TheCountess16/Leaving Are you sure that a staff position on this wiki is best for you? Do you have the emotional maturity to handle it? Issues like what you’ve described don’t just go away. I don't know what your relationship with your parents is like, but I believe they have your best interests in mind here. Listen to them. Nobody wants to see you get hurt. If interactions with people on the Internet have this effect on you, you need some serious help before you consider an even more demanding position. ^^^^ this.

Neutral. I barely know you.
