Hello Alberto.
As we can see, you have basically taken the decision to make an application in order to support Ambrosia once again like you used to do in the past.
According to what you said in your application thread, you are supposed to be able to take criticism and ready to change your attitude.
So let's start by making an analysis of your application thread.
[plainbox]Why do you think you should be a Forum Moderator: I have been FM for 1 year and i enjoyed my job. I did a good one when i was FM and i helped all who needed (You can see my oscar). I have experience as FM and i think i can make a good contribution to the forum.
Also I would like to add a few things: When you start no supporting, please, make a constructive one. Also i know that the wound of my topic is still very present in any of you and i would like to say that i have thought a lot in it and i have changed my attitude in the way that i accept my mistakes. I did a good job as FM in the past and i will do it once again. I want the people to trust in me once again and not to throw to the rubbish all related with me only for one topic that i did with not a bad intention at all. I know that i am the guy with lowest chance to become a FM but still, i want to get your confidence on me. I refuse to leave myself as it is right now, gimme one chance is possible and you will not regret.
Thank you very much for reading carefuly my topic and I wait for all of your posts.[/plainbox]
"I have been FM for 1 year and i enjoyed my job. I did a good one when i was FM and i helped all who needed (You can see my oscar). I have experience as FM and i think i can make a good contribution to the forum."
Don't forget that you were a FM long time ago and that back in time, things were different and you weren't the same as well. Furthermore, the Oscar doesn't really have any value anymore since you were awarded long time ago and that the award matched some criteria that were valid only at this time. However, I fail to comprehend why you stated that you would make a good contribution to the forum. You somehow believed that you explained the reasons of that statement but this wasn't the case since both of your arguments are not valid in this case.
"Also i know that the wound of my topic is still very present in any of you and i would like to say that i have thought a lot in it and i have changed my attitude in the way that i accept my mistakes."
You should have not mentioned that thread to be honest. Everybody does mistakes and if this mistake is preventing you from going forward then I don't think that you are currently ready to handle the responsibilities of the position you are applying for. Moreover, you have also stated that you have recently changed your attitude in the way you accept your mistakes but you haven't done anything to prove us this statement. You could have done something in order to let us know that you recognized the fact that you did a mistake (apology thread,...) but you didn't.
"I did a good job as FM in the past and i will do it once again."
It's good to see that you are somehow self-confident but how can you be so sure that you will be a good addition to the forum moderation team?
"I want the people to trust in me once again and not to throw to the rubbish all related with me only for one topic that i did with not a bad intention at all."
Do you really think that it's easy to gain people's trust specially after you took the decision to make a thread that made people have a different opinion regarding your case and so to lose the trust they had on you? I'm not saying that people are spiteful or whatever but you have basically given them an other image of you and so, it will take them time to trust you like they used to do in the past.
"I know that i am the guy with lowest chance to become a FM but still, i want to get your confidence on me."
You seemed to be confident some lines ago and now you lost your self-esteem. I thought that you knew that you would be capable of doing a good job as a FM again so why are you suddenly lacking of self-confidence? And once again, you are seeking for confidence and trust without even making an effort.
"I refuse to leave myself as it is right now, gimme one chance is possible and you will not regret."
Are you basically telling us that if you are given the opportunity to manage these forums, it will be a way for you to redeem yourself and to gain our trust? That's not how any of this works and I'll detail this point later.
So let's keep going on. This is (un)fortunately not everything. You have basically asked for a constructive opinion and I'll make sure to fulfil your requirements.
Let's make an analysis of other things that you have recently said in the forum, like for example in your Jailbreak administration application thread.
"When somebody tells me something bad to me, as a human i try to defend myself. It is not about accepting what they told, it is about defending myself against these who tells me bad things. If you mother comes and tell you " you are an inmature and you disappoint me", you look at her and tell her "ok mom i accept your negative comments to me", no, you try to make her change her opinion about you and it is exactly what i do."
Why would you try to defend yourself continuously? Aren't you supposed to make an analysis of other people's opinion before considering whether they are right or not? You took the example of the mother who tells his child that he is immature. That's actually a good example to be honest. A mature child would basically either ignore or assimilate his mother's remark. An immature child would basically try to defend himself while it's not actually needed in this case. You know, people are not always wrong and some of them tend to be honest while giving their opinion. You are not basically supposed to defend yourself all the time but to make a constructive reflection and to figure out whether their opinion is legit or not.
"As i said before 2 times or so, I did with my other account because when you talk in this community (i mean say the things you really feel) people for any reason start being really defensive and try to get you down, they dont suaully give constructive opinions if not destructive one ( look at ray attitude and comments to me) you all you get is the hate of all and i wanted to see their reaction, after this, i did it with my own account what show that i am not scared, so there is no point to say that i cannot deal the members."
You don't seem to comprehend that not everybody thinks like you do so of course that all the opinions will not fulfil your expectations. People's purpose is not always to get someone down but rather to let you realize that sometimes, one is not always right. Ray doesn't basically hate you even if he might dislike your personality. You made a mistake while making that thread and that's why he felt like he had to make a constructive opinion about that thread. You might still be offended by his opinion but this doesn't mean that he was wrong. He basically constructed an opinion that included some negative parts but this doesn't mean that his opinion was wrong. Moreover, if you are basically not scared anymore about the opinion that people might have regarding your case then this automatically suggests that you don't care about other people's opinion anymore. If you are still interested in improving yourself then I advise you to listen to people time to time.
"I did not break any of those rules, thats the first thing i have to say. I did not break any rule and i did not act as inmature guy against those who fought me in the topic. When i say that he paid for it it is because many guys said. If i wss told by 1 it can be a false rumour but when you have trutable fountains it become to be real, but i am sorry and think what you wont, i wont give more names."
You also don't seem to comprehend that even if none of the current Ambrosian official rules was broken by your side, you were basically the one who caused the most problems in that thread. In my opinion, it was an immature and selfish decision from your side to start that thread. Let's talk about that false rumour for example. Whether it is/was a rumour or not, did you really have to talk about such things in public?
So in conclusion, I'd like to say that in my opinion, you are not ready to manage the forum at the moment for several reasons. On one hand, we can perfectly see that you seem to lack of self-confidence and to be a bit desperate even if you are miserably trying to hide it. You are also not ready to moderate this forum because you took the decision to make an application for an important position like this one while you haven't even made an effort to gain people's trust back yet.
You basically believe that if you are given the opportunity to manage the forums like you did in past, you will gain people's trust back and so will be a way to boost your self-confidence but what you don't seem to understand is that people won't respect or trust you more because of your position. You are basically the one who is supposed to build his reputation (even if the word may sound wrong) before even taking the decision to start an application for a position like this one.
On the other hand, we can see that you seem to lack of common sense and that you can't basically take criticism at all even if you are willing to give us the feeling that you can. As we can see in the second part of my thread, you would be ready to defend yourself from anybody's negative opinion concerning you instead of trying to figure out whether the opinion is correct or not. You also seem to lack of professionalism and that's one more reason that explains the fact that I don't think that you are ready to moderate this forum like you used to do in the past.
I could have given you a biased opinion but I don't think that it would have been professional from my part since I have always tried to be honest and fair. Nevertheless, I know that I'm not always obliged to give my point of view regarding some matters but I believe that it was necessary in this case. Now it's up to you whether you are willing to make an effort by assimilating some parts of this opinion or to try to defend yourself once again.
Cheers.
