I won't sit here and try to gaslight anybody that I've reached the full requirements. I am applying 3 weeks early. But before you downvote me, let me explain why I am applying now, rather than 3 weeks later.
I'm an urbexer, based in Toronto, that has found a great passion for exploring. But overtime, this passion of exploring, has branched out into exploring abandoned places. And then that passion, has branched out into finding NEW spots to explore.
To be completely honest, I don't need any spots. This is not why I am applying for level 3. Let alone exploring anything else that's not an abandoned place, even when I do run out of spots, I know how to find new ones, after countless hours and hours of mapping out the whole city. Was this worth my time? Probably not to be honest. But at least now my problem of "having no spots and having to apply for lvl 2" a few months ago, has turned into the problem of, "where do I go this time?"
And this is why I'm applying for level 3.
With access to level 3, I will be able to potentially see pins that I am not updated on. Rather if someone has already been there and uploaded it as an exterior, or I get to see what said building looks like on the inside, and or what hazards, I will be able to prioritize which areas I go to.
The good thing with level 3, is that if lets just say one of my pins isn't on there, is that it's either a level 4 I'm refinding, or it's a new location to contribute and continue to help expand the database. And as long as I'm able to keep leveling up, I don't have a problem to keep uploading my explores. At first it was more of a task to take photos, but that task has turned into a hobby, hence why my quality of albums has improved (at least I hope you guys also think that way as well).
I've had my ups and downs in this community, but going forward as a level 3, I don't want to be seen as some "immature teenager". I want to be seen as a respectable member of this community. This is something I have been working to improve on overtime, and something I want to keep striving towards. Sometimes I might say some dumb things, but I want to move past that.
Obviously I find these and explore these spots with good intentions. I am not a vandal. I go in for photos, look through some items if the spot isn't empty, and then leave how it was. There would be no reason to not trust me with level 3 either, as I've already explained earlier, I don't want new spots, I just want updates. And I want updates, to help the database.
Besides contributing new locations to the database, another thing I will do is the same thing I did with level 2 recently. Go through all the Toronto locations, and update them. (at least from what I can see online, or if I've passed by it, etc.) The whole point of having a database like this is to record abandoned places, but it's also nice for everyone else to be updated, rather if a spot is now demolished, now has security, all those sorts of things.
If you feel like 3 weeks makes the difference, then you'll see another application in 3 weeks. Besides applying early, I meet and have surpassed the other requirements (at least the ones you can surpass). If there's another reason, I will always take criticism. Thanks for your time.
