Am I allowed to request a reason?
Alpha_Lance:
Trolling is overboard far too often, merciless in your predetermined decisions about bans on players. Your application suggests you look down on players below your own rank. A tolerance to them seems more accurate so to speak.
You said you have no interest in building anymore, that opinion may or will most likely change in time if you do become an Op as handling griefers, spammers, vulgar builders, tends to drain Ops and the game does not become very fun minus the communication with friends in game and the urge to build down the road.
While you are here for friends and to help out, there is plenty a Builder rank can do to help out already. It's a choice between building, socializing, and helping others. While Ops prioritizes on helping players when logging on; before a good conversation can be had and only on slow low number days can we have some time to build anything.
As I said before, your trolling is overboard, but some topics that you include yourself in tend to turn into something extremely vulgar and you have a knack for encouraging it to become worse.
You'll want to clean up your act and lighten up on the trolling, may want to think about your values and consider your responsibilities if you do become an Operator as well. I don't believe you are ready for Op yet.

These "trollings" were obvious jokes and have only been taken seriously by you, but fine, I'll agree I take my jokes to a further degree than I should and it's something I learn about a community as I continue to interact with them (the way the perceive certain things).
I don't see how you figured I believed everyone at a lower rank than me is less superior by reading my application, but it's not true. A tolerance to any who misbehave in ways that cause current Ops to get annoyed is what I was trying to state.
Ops lose interest in their job due to the stress and may again want to return to building, however, in my case, I know for a fact, I will not want to return and have plenty of reasons not to. Let's say I do; while I was building, and extremely focused, I still took time to help with whatever I saw fit, and as an Op, I realize that any help at all would be a time that I should see fit.
As you said, Ops log on with the goal to help before prioritizing anything else. That's my mindset now; if you ever see me, I'm usually flying around people's builds giving ideas when necessary and asking in the chat if any player needs help with anything.
Also, if you looked at the topics that tend to turn vulgar, I don't start it. If you honestly compare the things that I personally say with the people who are also part of the same immature conversation, you'll realize that my statements aren't nearly as bad as you're assuming. They would appear to be more intense than they actually are since the previous comments as well as the ones that follow are flowing from my own words, so in that case, yes I do tend to encourage conversations to worsen. However, I believe I keep my comments on a generally low level and don't necessarily encourage the other people in the conversation to make their reply more vulgar than mine or any of their previous replies.
Let's use your own quotes;

Minus the trolling that "everyone" on classic does to pass the time while building. We all acted like this at one time or another.

Just like you said to DJ, if someone asks him to stop, he does, as do I. I have never once continued an immature conversation after being told to stop unless someone else continued it after being told to stop as well. However, I have never been the first person to continue a conversation that was told to be ended.
Also as you stated, "everyone" on classic does it. We all acted like this at one time or another. That includes you. So, yes, I have gone overboard, but so has everyone else. So telling me that I need to stop something that everyone does is completely unfair.
I know my values and responsibilities as an Operator and whether you personally choose to believe that is up to you, but I can prove it.
MegaAero45:
I have slightly mixed emotions about this, however I don't know you well enough to make any real and personal judgements on your actions. From what I've seen, on my relatively short time on Opticraft, you're a good and respectable person.
Supported, for now.
