I meant it was a bad example. Using a historical genius as an age difference isn't really a good example. A good example would be that my friend is 14 years old and he created Poker TD. Which if you've seen it or not is a pretty damn good map.

Well i don't think i will get [picked but there is always a chance.. but i know yoshi will pick fairly and Justly. He has Picked many in the past which still stand today. So we know it will be good . GOod luck on finishing them there seemed to be a lot.

I've never released a map, I have ADD and I've designed and proven perpetual motion machines.

Which is people that were acting like that are never going to have a place on SEN as one of its staff.





Hrm... I guess that you're between 18-20. No older than that. Otherwise you would have come up as one of the oldest members on SEN. Which you haven't. So that is why I am guessing... 18-20!



I knew people were going to crazy like that. Yoshi shouldn't have blatantly stated "you could even start a whole political campaign", that people would blow it way out of proportion.

Just to explain how the DLDB keeper selections work, I have chosen six people already and Yoshi will pick three of them.

I think I have a vague idea of who will be DLDB manager's.

Your right...i should take a guy on the internets word for it that he is a genius. im not stupid, but you very well could be smart but im not gonna just take yoru word for it,

haha

I'm older DTBK

That would be so awsome! Something like this:

Well... I hope very much that i become melee fourm moderator! But in the end yoshi will only do whats right for the members of the Sen Community

Holy crap, Are you serious? I didn't know that Yoshi would do his best to keep things right for the SeN community. People are so annyoing when they state the obvious.

Anyway, Who ever gets the DLDB Keeper position better know what there doing, and just doesn't let any map in.

Hopefully DTBK teaches them his almighty ways.

Sure you judge by age. Do you think some big company would want to high a 13-15 year old? (They can't because it is illegal for one. For two, they know that highering older people brings better results)

So go ahead and think i'm a prick, but i'll judge every single person here by age (Even the select few that is older then me) because I know that people younger then 16 usualy are to immature to hold a responsibility (I didn't say every single one was. But the majority is)

So of course judge by age because jobs do it all the time.




This is a site, not real life. You are going to probibly judge them in real life, and if you don't, that is "good for you" (I certainly would judge them because i'm 2-5 years older then most members here so I have senority No. I would judge them because I have the common sense to know that they can't hold certain responsibilities)

So before you try to say that we are at fault for judging them for their age, just try to consider that it's the right thing? I bet Yoshi was looking for maturity, and the ability to take on your responsibility. Not some 12-15 year old who can make good maps, with no maturity, and can't keep their responsibilities.

Age discrimination at SEN

Judging people's maturity by there age is a very bad thing to do. And i can tell you several reasons why...

Have you ever played Prison Escape? the map was insanely popular before I ever made a name for myself. Anyways this map was made by a person who was 11 at the time, yet he was one of the better mapmakers i knew.

But lets not try to pick out specific examples of one person. Like how about when i went to high school I realized a lot of these people are still stupid bullies, they will be for the rest of there life. The world holds nothing for them regardless of there age. Then i got a job at a restaurant only to enforce this veiw. I worked with people who were at least twice my age but I was more mature than many of them. Its amazing to see someone who is married with children walk out on their job because there pissed at the manager one day.

Most of society today will look at basically all of SEN as immature. Adults have always had it out for teenagers “What’s wrong with today’s Youth?”. And ironically I saw that as a magazine title of a life magazine published in the early 70s at my grandmothers once. The youth that the publishers were complaining about are now complaining about us.

In Missouri you can't get a full drivers license until your 18 when your 16 and 17 you get what is called a Graduated license where you basically have a state enforced curfew, and a few other restrictions. But so many people look down on people just a few years younger than them. Last summer I started going out with a girl who is 18 years old, when she broke up with me people told me that "she's 18 hasn't matured much yet" but here someone who is 18 would be regarded as a very mature person. (just how Kellimus takes on the roll of the highly mature member at sen above) Age discrimination can be turned around on me too. I’m 21 and if i got a good job got married and got my own place middle-aged people like my parents would refer to me as inexperienced in life thus looking down on me. The question of maturity would come up.

When do we break the barriers of maturity? Generally everyone assumes themselfs to be mature but everyone younger than them hasn't matured yet. And there opinions change as they get older. But i can tell you from experience that i know a lot of people here who may be 15-17 who are more mature than most of the 19-23 year old people living in my hall. Maturity doesn’t happen at a magical age, especially the maturity required to do something like manage the download database. I would think someone who is 13 would be better for the job cause I would assume they would have more time.

PS. Clokr_ is 16 now

Like in high school the stupid freshman are always thought of immature and stupid. and the upper classman are more mature and the seniors are the maturest...

Wow hertz, spamming won't help you become one.

I got a question for Yoshi.

Will posts in this topic change your decision by any way? If not then why is this postable? I mean people just spam this info topic with "I hope you choose me" posts. However I hope that you will make the right choice that will be best for SEN.

Let the best man win.

I would be happy to have almost any of the people applied be modding leader.
My repect especially goes out to Voyager, who is a really creative and awsome guy. DTBK, who is really coherent, helpful and likes thinking big when it comes to modding. And finally... I think I forgot someone.

Let the best man win!

The ever more reason for him not to pick that person.

I'd assume that all actions taken by the candidates will affect Yoshi's decision. If someone's appointed UMS Leader, and then 2 days later runs around going "ZOMG!!!! LOLZ I BAN U BECUZ UR MASP SXUX!!!!", then that person won't keep the position for very long...

hope i get it

I wasn't judging maturity...i said do you think genius of SCIENCE would be on sen...there are genius' of starcraft of course. But should they be entrusted with the responsibilty of the expectance of fellow map makers that the DLDB should keep on top of it? I don't think an 11 year old's top priority is to make sure he dls and plays everyone elses map and gives a true review of it. isn't that the point of DLDB? not to MAKE maps but to review them?

There are always exceptions to life. If you took an AVERAGE 11 year old, his little mind could not comprehend all the maps that go in and out of the DLDB...period.

Wait, your over 16???

I guess you learn something new everyday.

Maybe people will think your 16 or above when you develop the grammar skills of a 16 year old Minigame.
[/hopping on the bandwagon]

ADDITION:
Lol, maybe you should make those guidelines a news post. That's information that a lot of mapper should know. It should stop some mapper from making "FASTEST POSSIBLE MAP EVER RIGGED EMERALD VERSON omg bad stax txt!"

ADDITION:
I know a 12 year old who has made at least 20,000$ out of his hobby of crafting cystal amulets (Colored glass + Sand + Tumbler + Silver wire = pretty neckalce that people spend 20$ on so they can give it to their girl friend).

I also know a 16 year old who probably makes just as much (if not more) as the parents of most of the people here (I don't mean combined). He owns a company that constructs houses and such, and does general development work.

Man you guys aren't getting it. Those examples that you guys keep coming up with young people doing "big" things or whatever, THEY ARE EXCEPTIONS. Anyone on this topic that has said that you shouldn't really have people under 16 has always ALWAYS said that there are exceptions
