#Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed.

</blockquote>it's unreasonable to expect any real human to never make any social missteps, or to be unfailingly polite all the time, but so long as someone follows those two rules I can trust they will [[:meatball:ModelDesiredBehavior|ModelDesiredBehavior]] sufficiently well for the community to function.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>Finally, be committed. It's easy to say yes I'm committed to this community, of course I'll be here to help out on a regular basis. But things change, an initial burst of excitement may not last. Interest fades, burnout happens, or it turns out that outside of a small working group, many community members are jerks I don't want to be around. However much I may truly believe that yes I'll be here a year from now still putting in regular effort, the truth may turn out otherwise. So how can community members judge who is a short-termer and who will still be turning up in the far future to empty the trash on New Year's morning? Really the only way is to wait and see. Who sticks around, who leaves, and who maybe pops by once in a blue-moon. Depending on the size/age of the community as well as the amount of work to be done the period may be shorter or longer, but the basic principle holds, there is no way for either the community or even me myself to know without having a track record to go off of.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>So I think you meet my first two criteria. As for the third, well I believe you earnestly intend to be here helping out many months in the future, but the record is a little thin to go off. So that one is really an unknown. That probably would've left me in the neutral column, albeit really wanting to support, but I can understand and respect the oppose point of view and I hope you can as well.<div style="margin-top:.5em"></div>I think it is strongly to your credit that you were responsive to feedback in a calm collected way. So just keep doing what your doing and I'm sure that when your ready for another go, there will be no shortage of supports.
