I bring up the cool-zone conduct for similar reasons Urs bought it up (though she has her own reasons that it'd be best for her herself to explain). Whether people intend it or recognize it or not, mentors represent the community, and if there's some sort of conflict with a particular part of the community, that's cause for concern. If someone had a tendency to mock people's code in imcoder or insult people for their sprites in imspriter, I'd be raising similar concerns on their mentor app. Even if that person does not plan to share code or sprite advice over mentorhelp, they, as a Goonstation "ambassador", would not be representing the things we value. On the same token, if someone had a tendency to make discussions heated to people's detriment, even if they did not intend it, that would be worth at least considering and looking into, regardless of who's in the right or wrong.
Anyways, I've been deliberately avoiding addressing Vampirate's opinions about the cool-zone for similar reasons to popecrunch recommending making a new thread. They're related to the matters bought up, but whether they're legitimate or not are a little outside of the topic of "would Vampirate be a good mentor?".
To close, I want to say that, like Podrick and Flaborized said, the standards are a lot higher for you because of your overall history. You gotta prove to people that the "jerk that got sploded multiple times" Vampirate is not the Vampirate that's applying for mentor, and that's gonna take a lot of work to convince people that, I'm afraid. You gotta basically be perfect. And well, perhaps it could change in the future, but like them, I'm not convinced, so I can't give a Yes to the app.
