NerdieBirdieYT for Sentry

Not open for further replies.
Nerdie seems like the perfect fit for Slicer where he is currently. He's always open to help new members and always does things with a good intention, "Slicers should be active members of the community, often playing the server, talking in chat/Discord, and reading over the forums." is something Nerdie does well and the role he has perfectly represents it.
However, in the words of Nerdie, the big difference between a slicer and sentry is responsibility. I don't believe he is someone fitting of taking that role, in your application you discuss your ability to help new members, being active and being able to be a friendly easy to talk to a person as well as your youtube series. Nothing here pops out to me as anything worth sentry, you haven't even stated in here "I believe I have the responsibility to take on this role" and nothing is outstanding here worth making a sentry from. While White_Raptor is very brief on their argument but I do believe it's correct. I think while being "friendly" is a start what here says your worth being a sentry, this role isn't given out for being a good boy and being positive, you need to be strict and firm as a moderation role to get punishments put through and to see people correctly punished for their behaviour.
While not the driving force of this argument it's important to note just 5 months ago Nerdie made a homophobic comment and then followed up with an apology that if anything supports the beliefs of the original statement, as someone who supports LGBTQ+ and knowing many with these type of views this worries me to have a sentry-like this, I can't personally believe you can be neutral as a moderator and follow with views like these. If you can prove me wrong I am happy to take back this point but for now, these views of discrimination paraded publicly make it very hard for me to see you as a neutral member of the staff team.

First off, I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Your criticism is constructive and I value that.

In regards to responsibility, I do have to disagree. I hate doing applications because I despise sounding like I'm bragging or anything, but responsibility is one area I believe I am strong in. I'm a big schedule person; I like things organized. I've run the NerdNation community for about 2.5 years now. I've managed social media accounts for several servers, and have been staff on a neato MMORPG server. I've run this YouTube channel for almost 4 years now, and due to that I've been given admin perms on several servers. I've had access to WorldEdit and trolling commands and all that. I don't believe you could find a staff team or server I've worked with that finds me irresponsible.

As for the Tweet, I will readily admit that it was out of place and I erred in saying that in the context of my Twitter following. However, my religious views should not be a reason against my being staff, and my apology/clarification underlined the fact that I absolutely do not hate those I disagree with. I have people in the LGBTQ+ community who are staff on NerdNation and I welcome them with open arms. I don't have to agree with someone to treat them with respect.

Again, appreciate your time, and if you have further concerns, I'd be happy to chat about it!
 
I was going to post an actual reply but I just noticed this thread is low-key grave digging

Now, I’m about to say something that not everybody will agree with. This is in no way trying to start an argument/flame war.
First, I’d like to point out some things. I’ve had very few interactions, some good some bad, with Nerdie. Ever since I’ve meet him he’s been nothing but helpful, kind, and brave. When I was banned I first started talking to Nerdie, nobody from Loka would talk to me, yet he was kind and didn’t judge me for what I’ve done in the past. I also think he was brave, he was willing to post my appeal when nobody, and I mean nobody, was willing to do it. He’s also been devoted to this server, records on Loka for his channel constantly, and is overall helpful in all ways imaginable. I honestly think that there is nobody more qualified for this position than him.

Now, this is where people will disagree and think I’m trying to start a flame war; but I’m not. I remember a while back he was worried about college and how his channel may take a hit because he wouldn’t be able to record as often as he was. I guess I’m just a little worried about how he will manage college, life, recording, and being a Sentry. I will also say this, I don’t know him that much, I don’t know what he can handle and not handle, or if he will have the time. Again, just to reiterate what I said earlier, this is just a “friend” worrying. I have no intention of start anything with anyone.

Thanks mate, really appreciate your kind words! :D

College is definitely the priority, but I do have quite a bit of free time and would like to play more often than I do currently.
 
+1 from me. You are a great dude. I might not agree with the style you pick, but you are passionate of what you do and how you do it.

but a warning. Guardians have a curse. They all become inactive to the point they arent playing.
