Winnie, I know I am not exactly close to your heart or at least not how I feel. And when I went on the DR you was always nice and polite with me and I can see you are a big + for the DR Server and community, you express yourself very well and you welcoming people and you know how the thing work, you attitude only change about me when I’m actually not there and you do like you want its ok. But going this far just to answer your questions and then come up with a gotcha quotes, I don’t know, but up to you.
My application has been there for over five months now and of course there have been some ups and downs. At this stage, I will just share with you what I’m doing, from time to time, I will help spot the cheaters, assist in reducing the tension (I talk with them in private) when some people decide to insult others, taking care of racist and homophobic stuff and trying to don’t focus too much on small things like voice spam and abuse vote menus. I also help through the online forums with the best of my small ability and create more connections.
I don't think my answers will change your mind anyway and thats fine. It was a good experience to do, some people climb the Everest and other do a app mod on Skial I'm not sure which one is the hardest :). Yes , it was interesting and honestly sort of scary, placing me on the internet like that with the app. Sometimes it felt like I was a 40 years student returning to school and out of phase. Happily, I meet some very kind people who help me and answered my questions. (players,friends,admins)
That said I am used to people questioning my english and being in the minority in my own country I can tell you it’s not the first time this thing happened. I have been comfortable working in a place that is dominantly made up of english group in a english city and in a english province and have always risen above those challenges.
I actually found that funny and what you said about me yeah maybe funny like a sad clown or something like that because ( I express that very clumsy sorry) I was actually trying hard and it have some part of truth in what you was saying and I wanted to play it out, guess it didn't come across that way. My bad
Anyway at this point, whatever happened, I’m still very happy about the experience and I’m really happy about the role I have right now.
Ok basically what I wrote up there was the answer to the question about what I do for Skial but I wrote too much and I didnt answer about what I can do about the problem of players going down. Basically I am not a savior. I am not going to fix the problem of players going down and I do not have any miracle solution. If you have one please share it with us.
About your A.I question
Basically I said that I use A.I to correct my applications like when I applied for a job. I already ask my friends or my parents to look at my resume to be sure I did not forget something stupid I see nothing wrong with that, you can see my natural writing on Discord it far from perfect but I think most of the time you can understand me.
Then you sent me something where you asked me a question about financial Skial stuff on the Death Run server in the text chat while I am already trying to understand how Death Run works. If you want to go deeper about that add me on Steam and we can discuss it but it is not like I have a super smart idea right now but you always welcome to come talk to me.
You probably had Buff Puto in mind when you talked about the A.I Admin and I will be honest. I do not see the point of wasting my time on a guy who uses one of the most badass guys Muhammad Ali for avatar to complain about how I do not play on his team and how I say hi to him a couple of times. I thought it was funny but not professional to answer his crappy ChatGPT report with another ChatGPT report. It is like when someone comes with a crappy ban appeal and they just say NO, I see nothing wrong about that.
Finally next time you use quotes from me in game please put some context instead of trying to make me look like a bad guy.

And here we go again. I understand exactly what you’re doing. You’re deliberately bringing attention to just how ugly I made that end of that sentence in yellow, but conveniently forgetting to include the rest of that conversation in which I was attempting to correct it. You should get right to the point instead of going around it ....

Spoiler: Question #2
Another question I do have is the AI use. You don't seem to acknowledge confrontation in-game.
Spoiler: here
While you have acknowledged that it may not be beneficial to implement...
I have wrote a lot already.... sorry. I want to say something about your question #2. You’re not entitled to get answers to all your questions when I am playing on the server. The thing is I am not always sitting in front of my screen. I don’t always watch the text chat. Times to times I just dont want or feel to answer you right away. If you have an important question you know where you can find me (Discord or Steam).
I have seen this happen a couple times ... some beef between players. I talk to one of them privately and I I tell the player to be careful (sometimes it work sometime it doesn’t), it’s easy for me to contact them because I have a lot of players from the servers on my friends list.
(Sometimes I reach them in French, knowing another language can help)
I have contacted the admins when I saw that someone got votekick for no reason and this way they can come back faster. Sometimes I tell people who are banned to not write comments right away when they appeal, I give them some advise because I want them back.
I have also helped people understand the rules when they had questions. It has also happened that I was very patient with griefers who were messing around with teleporters or sentries that were blocking or using Pyro to throw flames into the sniper eyes. Instead of reporting them right away, I asked them several times to move their stuff, and often it worked.
And you know after being here for some time and with the reports I did I got a couple of times where people started to be mad at me and insult me. Some of them tried to add me on their friend list just to say very bad stuff. I just try to help make the place more chill by ignoring them and not adding more fuel on it.
I think I said enough
It's a lot to respond to truthfully, so I would rather not dissect each statement.
The questions were based on our experience; furthermore, no bias was tied to the questions. I was thinking of dropping a hint of possibly striking two birds with one stone, if I may reveal. That would be unfair to past admin applications and potentially more to come. I was not forecasting an immediate response to the third question and was hoping that you could answer it creatively. Maybe refusing to answer some, that is your decision. I will dissect oneeeee thing for comedic value.
That's Jermaphobe's shtick (or Zeo's lol).
You could brainstorm to handle appeals your way. Be creative and think like a teacher, as you have self-proclaimed. Heck if you respond to appeals like corporate jargon, "Unfortunately, after reviewing your appeal, xyz" that would be a gesture toward a new silly way of handling Skial as a business. That does invite more summarization of that meaning.* Or in your case, "You will stay expelled." Whatever the formality is with who you are. You could also approve appeals if there is a different approach; there is no wrong answer.
* Skial currently has the luxury to expect the community to adapt to changing business needs. Supply and demand, yap yap yap. Without a community, there would be nothing to administer. Or lead, as I would always refer to because I do not prefer the terminology of "badmins" existing when it automatically asks for the meaning individually, when it can also vary. They have to lead based on their discretion from the rules while assuring the platform stays intact and aligned.
I appreciate the honesty. There needs to be a portfolio (and/or strategic plan) for building a community. It will reveal multiculturalism, considering that each server operates differently by nature. How would your community reflect on how you led it to become established for Skial? Anyone can make big claims about being involved in responsible occupations. There is more to ownership than having the title. A diligent servant to express.
Getting defensive over this was not the interpretation of intent. It was highlighted to support the first question of 2Fort servers and your swim lane:
I gave you a chance to discuss expanding 2Fort. I didn't even focus or care on the typo lol. Not sure how else that has been misunderstood.
Otherwise, the intent of asking the questions was to expand understanding in the community. Not to portray states of mind, but to analyze the conversation and for others to formulate their own decisions.

Sorry to be a bit on the defensive. I don’t have any problem with hard questions.
But when some quotes are put without the full context it makes me react.
To be fair this time it's far better, thanks.
So I just decided to regroup all your last questions into three big themes ( I will keep it short this time )
Handle appeals
Well sometimes I feel that the mod here have to act a bit like socials workers. A ban or a mute and the appeal that follows can actually make a player better (I saw it on the server with some players). At the same time make the server better. I really believe in giving players a chance or even a third chance depending on what the player did. That is something I genuinely like about Skial there is a level of transparency in how those things are handled in general.
Leadership
I think it would reflect who I am, someone who can learn from his errors and admit when I’m wrong. I don’t mind to laugh at myself. I understand that everybody can mess up sometimes and for me leadership is not about pretending to be perfect, it’s about being steady and fair + help when people need it.
Player retention
If people go on 2Fort it is usually because they like it Vanilla, but I am not against trying small changes here and there like switching to the winter or Christmas version of 2Fort during the holidays or making the vote % of scramble slightly stricter (Gonna make a huge difference in the player retention? Not sure).
You can look at my reports, over the month or two I have been making fewer. That is not because I am absent or ignoring issues on 2Fort. It is because I let some minor things slide and sometimes talk to players instead of escalating the issues. If someone is not hurting the server and is keeping 2Fort active it is better to guide them of punishing them....... and I will stop there.
I'm just going to swiggity swooty my way into this again because reading the back and forth between you two is like listening to the teacher from Peanuts at this point.
The admin team is not responsible for the financial status of skial. It's responsible for the of the community which yes that subsequently affects the financial status however, the question implies that he or any of the admin would be responsible for the downfall financially of skial if they were bad. That's fucking stupid. And before you jump down my throat about how Skial is a business and the health of the servers and community are paramount and something everyone should care about and work to preserve, no shit. That is NOT however, what you interrogate one admin-interested party about. Them wanting to be a part of the team that polices and makes the community more unified in playability socially IS him caring about the "financial stability."
I voted negative against him originally because of his breaking a single rule but when it comes to his presence and engagement with the community otherwise, he's a good egg. He chats, and lets people know they need to chill or are potentially breaking rules (and he does it politely unlike some people ((me lol.)) He doesn't overstep but he's active with it and very social. I haven't really seen anyone dislike him and that speaks volumes. Interrogating him about things above his metaphorical pay grade is asinine.
Next, who gives a fuck if he was asking for support, if people want to support him they will and if people didn't want to they would ignore him. Admin apps in the past have seen people asking their friends and home server for support. Woo.
The questions feel targeted to put more pressure on him. Look at the current admin team and player base, most of the staff have been around for quite a while and they come and go as they please. Many of whom will log in very seldom to their favorite server, let alone the rare chance of them server hopping to the other servers. It's usually when something is going on and needs to be handled immediately. When you look at that structure, interrogating him about building the community just seems misguided. Now in saying that, I'm not saying that an admin shouldn't care about expanding, but it's also not their fault if the game is dying at any given moment or to an extent even the community. The players or responsible for that more than anybody due to the fact that we as players set the overall tone of a server at any given time. You have hours a day where it's just full of shitlords who do nothing but use gamer words, mic spam, and troll people. When you have someone who reports people finally log in, you see less of the shitlords and more of the regulars vibing because they see the people who patrol the servers because admin aren't around.
Bro would be a solid addition to the admin team and he is a part of the community in a positive way. That is the most important part of this application.
That said, I rescind my negative vote for this mans and give him a juicy +1. Especially because in this somewhat targeted back and forth above this post, he handled himself really well when it was a fairly unneeded conversation. It proved his grit and maturity.

No apologies needed. You're fine as you are. The intent of the questions was solely to give more feedback and provide an in-depth analysis.
Again, no right or wrong answer. Not in any shape or form to discriminate, as the rhetoric here from Kaledio is implying. No sense in the effort to invalidate when each person reserves the right to hold their own discernments. Best to have diversity in thought processes rather than lack alternative perspectives, even if that means disagreeing with the conversation lol.
Some things are notable here. Even though it's been months since you applied, you put time into the forum and didn't forsake, despite the opposition that could be perceived from me and others. Who knows, your application may also redefine how Skial evaluates members to become admins. Maybe require tenure on forums within 6 months in terms of quality. I don't speak for it, just to lay that disclaimer down. Also, having the wisdom to recognize when mishaps happen. I do appreciate that acknowledgement, and if my own rhetoric were perceived as isolating, that is my apology to you.
The opportunity ahead is the 2fort servers. The thread "kill the 64 servers" is silly because players are expressing how the 64-player server is not beneficial, while there is little support for the smaller counts. Maybe we can try together sometime to bring those servers up to par. It might be another determining factor; I cannot assure anything.
I respectfully retract my Nay Vote to Pending Vote.
