The staff should appoint Jeremy and myself as mods then. That's the best step.
I think I might make my original post more serious though. I feel inspired by the OFL discussion earlier.
I've been here for 4 or so years. For about half of that time I did a lot of bad things and got in trouble with the staff. Eventually I got hit with a massive 1.2. Heck, even months after that I was still pretty bitter about it. Eventually through talking with an ex-staff member I came to realise that the punishment was entirely justified. I had been pretty detrimental in my demeanour and generally not that much of a constructive community member.
Since then I've generally tried to be better in my conduct but in all honestly there's a darker and more cynical side to my persona that still continues to get the better of me from time to time. I hope to improve, and as a way of trying to do good I try to use Core| as an effective means of enriching the roleplay and gameplay environment on both the server and forums, as well as using it to instruct and bring newbies into the gaming community. Eh, I guess Core is controversial but when you're at the top (I mean come on, maybe we're not the perfect but we're certainly up there with the top quarter of Disco factions) both the praise and the critism increases.
Having an Orange name would certainly be a good way for me to have some responsibility and commitment. I've always got ideas and thoughts to share as to how we can improve to the community, and I'd like to still keep giving back to the community and helping to safeguard it beyond what I do as a faction leader and member. I'm very active (as you can see by my post count etc.) and definitely have the time to do mod work and watch the forums like a hawk for trouble.
I've always been one of the bigger and controversial names in Discovery, but I'd hope having an Orange name would be a means for me to show the general population I do have some concern and care for the community I play in.
