gollark: Wonderful.
gollark: Ah yes, following the tradition of PotatOS, AvocadOS, BurritOS, YomatOS, TomatOS and ShutdownOS.
gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
