[DICUSSION] New VIP Application Process

[Deacon]

@snivy:
I just want to make sure all future admins / vips are good with talking to people of all backgrounds and all types of characters, so situations go more smoothly...
This isn't a personal attack or anything on anyone in specific....except for maybe tech....lol.
Well, now this is de-railed, I just want it to be part of the criteria.

Edit:
I see you guys want me to explain my use of stone cold as an example...
My take on it is that Stone is a character.  He's an older guy, he goes to ttt for some fun.  I know the guy very well.  I don't think he should be banned at all, and I really do think that something rubbed him wrong, and it just spiraled.  He's been playing since spring 2011, just about every single day.  And every single day until recently he's had no problems at all.  Give the man some credit, take my word for it.  So I used him as an example in what I think could have been easily resolved before it even started.  No hard feelings guys, but come on, this really could have been handled better and there's no question about that.

His original ban was for a few days. He got it extended by his own doing, and his own rage.
Now that everyone sees how he acts, thats what will hold.

Wait, I still don't really get the whole thread, if you successfully become a VIP in Temp server, does this count in coolz server when it's up?

Yes.

I'm sorry apparently I caused confusion, Don was asking me something similar as well but I think I need to clarify it here too.

I thought that I said I wasn't applying ranks from the downtime.

That's why I froze the application boards.. any promotions were for the individual temp servers.

The temp servers could then be a testing ground for the newer application proposal system if the owner chose to participate.

Anyway, I'll probably finalize the new application process when I bring the servers back up (also with the potential of seeing how it works with the temp servers).

Sorry about the confusion.

I wasn't aware any of us really had any problems with that...

My apologies if anyone took offense to my criteria suggestion, I mean to say that sometimes I feel a select few people use poor judgement.  But, hey it happens.
