No, you didn't quite catch the mark, lemme show you. -1
Working out of order here but, why is this needed? The only thing I needed to know here was that you improved on your last app with a simple: "I have improved upon my past comments in my last staff application." Place that in one of your 2 paragraphs and it would have been fine, unneeded, but fine. This paragraph, is a waste of time to read.
I see only 3 things in this paragraph. 1, kissing ass by talking about the amount of respect you have for the team. You respecting the team is something you can do as a user and the respect for the team wont bring anything useful to the table. 2, persistence by saying you have applied for the second time. Okay, you're really wanting to become staff even after being denied once. What does this bring to the staff table? You should be talking about your abilities NOT your personality. 3, you talk a LOT about just wanting to become staff. Okay? What does that make you different from the staff team? What is you wanting to be staff have to do with being a better staff member?
The only good thing about this paragraph is that you mention your knowledge on the server. You talk about how you play constantly and don't plan to change that, which is great but it does not bring much different from the other applicants. You claim that your clean record was a hard thing to preserve, congrats but the thing is, I've been banned 3 times and warned many times more and still managed to make it to S. Admin in the past. Your clean slate means nothing to your abilities. You want to have a positive rep on the community which can be gained being a normal user. Also, you give the wrong message in that same message imo. The rest that I didn't cover was basically about as useful as writing gibberish on a college essay.
*edit* TL;DR Your app doesn't tell us what you can do differently from the other applicants, it just tells us that you are a good user.
