I’m also really sorry that all these application left open with out any response and I’m also sorry that your applications has become a place for discussion over the server management. I also know that most builders are unhappy with the way things are going right now.
Just to point that out again, being an active senior builder, I have no perms to accept/ deny nor to close applications.I have the same perms everyone else in the forum has and that is to comment. Like I said before, I can review applications, but from my experience my opinion can be really different from the final decision and therefor won’t help you at all with knowing if you will get accepted or not.
Permwise the only difference between s. builders and builders is, that you get a different rank color on the build server and might be the first considered for bigger projects. We don’t have any other perms than any other builder on the server ( you are supposed to get invis as a perm on the build server, but sadly that hasn’t worked for me so far). Only people in managing positions have perms to make decisions over the build apps. I’m the “newest” s. builder, so I’m not sure how things went in the past, but I personally never got told or asked to review any apps by higher-ups. My opinion is as valid as any other builders opinion.
While it’s true that a bunch of s. builders are inactive, most of the big projects have been build by s. builders this year (prison spawn, surv. spawn and some other stuff) and they have put an enormous amount of time into this server.
Therefore I don’t think it is fair to point the responsibility to s. builders. We - s. builders and builders - are lacking management as much as the build apps right now.
If you want I can review you app, but like I said it won’t make any difference right now. The only thing you might get out of it are some new inspirations or views.
