I used to not have the backbone to pend someone's app because they messed up the code/didn't add it in since the app was fine otherwise, so I'd go out of my way to edit the template in all while chanting to myself: "ravioli ravioli, end my existencioli"
Now I pend apps if the template is messed up, I don't even look at apps unless they're posted in the notification thread, and I will purposefully ignore people who post in the cbox about their app instead. That's character development.

aka i guess my confession is that if the only things "wrong" with the app is simple coding fixes or format fixes, i just do it. |

I hate not being able to skin, it gets on my nerves to even decide one among those beautiful premades
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ I envy those amazing skinners who have such skill thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are a lifesaver If Seven Deadly Sins is like a group of individuals, I guess I will be Envy... or Greed... cuz I can't get enough with one skin when there are tons of breath-taking skins everywhere asdfghjkl (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I'm not actually that big on cboxes and would rather just do everything via discussion boards because they're easier to track than a fast moving chat is......
As such i some times forget we even have a cbox and fail to realize there were questions to answer.
can we just go back to having guest friendly questions boards? Please

i sometimes bite off more than i can chew as a staffer as far as like, the implementation of events and things because i want them to be really great and fun for the community but don't always think abt how much work it'll be on the mod side. this i've mostly solved in recent times by just being really transparent with my members if i'm having a hard time keeping up with something, and i'm blessed with a really wonderful and understanding community that's willing to put up with delays

Sometimes I also make an event that is more than the community can chew number wise. I thought "oh, this might be a good idea," but it spread the numbers way too thin and then no one really posts. |

- if people keep mentioning their app is finished, i'll make you wait longer bc i don't appreciate being rushed.
- i hate it when people say "just waiting for my character to get accepted" like - you might get pended. don't assume you're gonna be accepted, pls. say 'to be reviewed' or smth instead.
- in general i hate doing pends because either i feel bad about doing it, or there's just so much wrong with the app that i just don't wanna deal with it OTL
- if the stuff that's wrong with your app (ie you didn't put the member group in the coding to change the colours, you didn't remove placeholder text), i'll go in and fix it myself, since it's annoying to be pended over such a little thing like that when the rest of your app is fine!
- i'm terrible and take far too long to update the job claim. once i realised i hadn't updated it in like, three months. #oops
- i'm terrible at responding to hiatuses to let the person know i've seen it ;__; i wish jcink had likes.
- i'm terrible at link backs and apparently i haven't done them since the end of april... i should probably go do that.

sometimes i'll see certain people online (or even just a certain question in the chat) and i just know i'm not going to enjoy dealing with whatever it is, so i'll just pretend i'm not around.
or in other words, i do the staffing equivalent of this

1. I have to be mindful of others and try not to take up all the plots but they're just so juicy and I love 'em and I just want more /glutton
2. Sometimes I pitch other people for people to plot with, and then I realise maybe I shouldn't have done that because it might make the other people feel obligated to plot. Then I'm not sure if I should stop or if I should continue cuz sometimes it's helped people, or what I should do.
3. Once I thought I was pitching like-minded people together on what types of plots they like or struggle with, etc., based on how write and what they've said in the past, but apparently I was wrong and it was a "crap, I might've been offensive" moment. orz (I apologised but I still worry about it. |: )
4. Usually I tend not to advertise first links to RL sites because I don't expect any of them to be interested in an animanga site, but then other times I'll tell myself to not be so presumptuous and do it anyway cuz I started out on RL forums.
5. Sometimes, I really struggle with events when people don't show interest. It's like "okay, so... how do we move forward then?" So far, it's worked out, but... the struggle is real.
6. I keep wishing someone would go in and pretty-up the info templates. I should do it myself, but... it takes so much work. |:
7. I wish I wasn't the only staff member.
8. I get really self-conscious when I talk a lot/ramble on the chat.
Okay, shutting up now.

I have to say... my biggest sin is showing a little bit of favoritism at times. Like when I was on my old site as an admin, I used to sneak my friend like... 10 EXP every day because I wanted her to catch up to my character. LOL

I hate it when people try to guilt trip you into doing what they want or toss a public hissy fit when they are pended. Like, no. I'm sorry your app was pended, tossing a fit in the discord and demand a new application format, and saying that because you are new means you can't have your way, and all Intermediate/Advanced RPs reject you... It was a single pend, Janice. Your app had 8 paragraphs of confusing nonsenses. I'm sorry we are asking you to write something we can actually understand...

Staffer confession: I know you didn't quite break the rules, but holy shit.... you are so insufferable, I'm gonna take you down an extra peg just to get you to shut up and leave the rest of us alone.

 why is this such a mood omf
no but okay actual confession uh. sometimes i'm my own worst enemy because i want nice new coding things to be a surprise but also i just want to show them off to someone since i live on praise so i just end up screaming quietly into the abyss because i can't have my cake and eat it too and it's the worst (tm)

I struggle with the balance between fairness and enjoyment/other member’s enjoyment of my site, or at least which point becomes ‘enough is enough’ and trying to pinpoint actual problematic behaviour rather than mine/other’s general annoyance. I don’t know where my boundaries are! It’s a nightmare!
On the other hand when someone is being abusive or harmful I Have No Mercy and even tho I’ve been called too patient in a lot of circumstances, once I’ve made a decision I can be really headstrong about it for five minutes and even when it’s the best decision for the site, I torment myself by constantly reliving the moment and hating myself for it. Another nightmare!!
Also I make my harsh decisions usually first thing in the morning after a hangover.
After so many years I think I’ve also perfected my radar for Those Certain Type of Members from their very first greeting in the cbox. Don’t be so judgemental Gitty, you might say, but when you’ve relieved the experience of that first ‘sup’ or ‘yo’ or ‘o.o’ in the cbox and discord for over a decade, when you’ve seen the ‘thinking of joining’ and the non committal responses to your answers to questions, to the app that needs pending, then arguing about, then fixing, before That Type of Member makes one thread and then Leaves, lemme tell you I Know. I Know exactly what you are going to do and who you are and am very grumpy throughout.
Also What Are Even Checking Reserved Face Claim Dates?? Thank God for my other mods. : prayer hands emoji :
