Caecilius's Mentor App (here goes nothing)

[Caecilius]

I have some concerns about your adminship on Beestation.

Your host proudly explains that Beestation "does not censor anything". While that is all well and good, being an admin for a server that is happy for any horrendous language to be thrown around shows a tolerance and tacit approval for such language. With our language stance here, I'm not sure how we can have someone on our staff structure - even as a mentor - that shows clear approval of bigoted and racist language.

I welcome your thoughts on this.

I have several things to say. Firstly, no I absolutely do not approve of the use of slurs and other similar words under any circumstances. If you looked at my application there you would have noticed that I applied to administrate on the MRP server, which does not have language rules anywhere near as free as the main one. I have no influence on policy on either.

Secondly, Quertyquerty, up until about a week ago head Dev and cohost there (thus having enormous influence on policy) is a mentor here last time I checked . Why am I an issue and he isn't?

Thirdly, you yourself preceed the introduction of rule four and were an admin before it was introduced, and by your own admission in an interview with Texicus, the admins then not only tolerated what would be now a breach of rule four, but also engaged in it themselves. Yet you still retain your position despite, by your own logic, having shown clear approval of bigoted language.

Thanks! 

Firstly, I'm sorry but regardless of whether it's MRP or LRP it's not going to fly. Last night I visited both servers and saw an astonishing amount of racism. Qwerty can back this up.

Querty has been dementored since this came to our attention.

Finally, the culture of the server half a decade ago (if not longer) is not relevant to what we have here now and how we enforce the rules currently. People grow and develop and change - you cannot hold someone accountable for their edgy teenage years if they change - as we have.

May I ask what the point of asking me my thoughts if you intended to veto anyway? Or are you forcing a choice of one or the other? 

I'd also like to know what exact damage you think I'll do in a mentor position. Qwerty as you said had it for a long time and did nothing wrong in that position. There are people who came back from permanent bans who became mentors. Why is my failure to bring about a radical change in policy in five days from a junior position worthy of a veto? Ask anyone who has played with me if they feel I came anywhere near breaking rule four at any point. I've always followed it to the letter. At least poll the other admins or mentors first.
