The Auditor.. Out

[The Auditor]

Hello Auditor,

It's always quite difficult to deny an application, especially when someone is clearly passionate for FL. I do want to make it clear that it was not solely my personal decision, but rather the decision from the team as a whole via a vote and discussion. I was the one who responded with the team's verdict, and made sure to be as detailed as I could and gave points for improvement, alongside the opportunity for you to ask any questions if you had any. I don't usually handle Event Coordinator applications, and only intervened after you requested I do so due to the lack of response beforehand. Your application received more attention than most because we recognised how passionate you are. This made the decision much more difficult, which is one of the reasons it took longer than usual to provide a final response.

I understand that being denied a position, especially one you care about, is disappointing, and I respect that it left you feeling underappreciated. I've been in the same position before, and I know how much it sucks. We wouldn't have denied it if we didn't feel that it was for the best, and I still stand by the decision we made, which was explained very well within my response.

Outside of your application, you've raised several other concerns. You've raised some good points, such as our lack of active communication and transparency. This is something we've been trying to improve for some time, and while we have gotten better, we can always do more and will continue working towards that. Apart from this, I strongly deny any accusation of a "violent attitude", "an environment of fear, frustration, and apathy", that I don't "care about the server or its community", alongside many of the other things you've mentioned along those lines. All of these accusations are categorically false, and it's upsetting to see anyone believe that they are true.

I'm still here because I care. I almost never decide things on my own, and try to always discuss with others before taking action. There have been a few exceptions (I can't think of any recent ones though), but only where there isn't any other choice. FL has had a long history of letting perfection be the enemy of progress, and in these cases, a decision just has to be made for better or worse, especially as we can always iterate on something after. My primary role on FL has been development of the new gamemode. Almost everything I do outside of this has been out of necessity rather than desire, because I care.

I really don't know what else to say here. I'm ultimately just confused as to how there's such a disconnect between what you've mentioned and my actions/intentions. I don't mind you or anyone else holding such a negative opinion towards me nor do I take it personally, I only care on how it was reached so that I can better understand and improve on any issues that may exist. My DMs have always been open for anyone who has any concerns, both from those on the team or the community. I can't change things I don't know about, so I'd encourage anyone with concerns to let myself or others in management know, as this is the only way we can resolve them and improve FL. I have no intention of stepping down, regardless of how you or others may feel, simply because I can't - doing so would kill FL for good, and I can't do that to something I care so much about.

I wish you all the best, and hope I can prove you wrong.

Pollux, You may not care about it but i am only replying to you because you respectfully and professionally replied with a good attitude and because most of my massage was directed to you..

Good luck, I hope you prove me wrong.. That is all i wanted for the past two month..
