A question to high staff ; can you consider the "Like" button as a support ? Or it doesnt help in admin applications ?
I'm not really considered high staff but I'd say no. The issue with just liking an application is that it doesn't provide the feedback that is sometimes asked of the admins/regulars players that don't actually take part in the final discussion. That's also why it's asked to provide reasons as to why you support a person or not, otherwise the support by itself is just meaningless.
I was actually the one to handle apps as ha of surf and i have to agree with maki, i wouldn't even look at the likes because they could've been gived by anyone. Replies from well known players value way more than just a like.
To be completely honest, i barely checked replies on apps anyways, if he is capable of being admin, whether the replies say yes/no that wouldn't quite matter to me because he would be accepted. Same for if someone isn't capable of being admin while replies say he is, he will just be denied.
There were a few times that i changed my mind due to the replies which in the end i'm glad for, but those are rare occassions
