Tips, Rules and FAQ on making a Moderator Request

Okay, so there have been many, many people breaking the rules when they post a Moderator Request, so I just want to outline them all in this thread as well as answering some common questions.


Rules:

1. Don't make more than one application at a time, we're not saying that if you get denied you can NEVER, EVER, EVER MAKE ONE EVER AGAIN! But please just wait like 2 Months and make a new, better one. DON'T make a new one the next day.

2. Don't hate on other people's application, if you don't think it's good it's best to just leave it and let a Moderator deal with it.

3. Don't backseat moderate on people's applications, don't say if they're denied, feel free to make polite suggestions but don't be rude.

4. ALWAYS, use the format (http://squadcraft.net/threads/new-moderator-application-format.11715/)

5. Don't ask staff if your application has been looked at or why it was denied, it will lower your chances of being accepted and it will tick off staff.

6. Do NOT copy other people's applications. We will find out.

7. Do not Lie. We will find out.



Tips:

1. LOCKED = DENIED

I cannot stress this enough, look, learn and move on.

2. On a calmer note, remember to add LOTS of detail and make sure to use legitimate points: Not like "I recrd videoz on da squdcraft pls guve me mod" or "i haz play for lng time lyke 4 yrs giv me mod."

3. Don't sound cocky, obviously you are selling yourself to be a Moderator but don't make yourself sound arrogant.

4. Be nice, if someone comments some constructive criticism don't rage at them, just thank them and move on. If a Moderator denies your application don't rage at them or blame them, they're only doing their job.

5. Just overall make yourself look good, mature and worthy of being a moderator.

7. One thing people don't always understand: A really good application won't get you mod. It's your application combined with your ingame behavior, activity and reputation. I can write a big 3 page application (I'm good at English) but if I'm a bad and annoying on the server or no one has ever heard of me, then I have no chance.

FAQ:

My Mod app has been locked without a reply, why?
We don't have time to reply to every Moderator Application and sometimes they're not even worth replying to so understand that at busy times we can't always reply. Also, we do get a lot of Hate sometimes when we deny peoples Mod Apps so we don't always want to reply because we do get hate and we don't really want that.

Do you actually read Mod Apps?
Yes, we read every mod app, good and bad.

My Mod app has been locked and denied so I cannot edit and improve it!
You were denied once, I doubt editing will help.

I hope you take everything on this thread into consideration.

On behalf of all the Staff Team,

Thanks.

 

nicely done! hope people actualy read it and follow the rules

 

Ok Debbly bro

 

good job i will make sure i follow every rule

 

dibleyy

 

I think that this is a great post becuase now i know i will be able to apply for Mod again . Becuase when i wrote my first mod app it was like 2 AM and i was tired so it was... lets just say bad... The next time it will be better so thanks

 

Lol

 

Great guys! I hope this has clarified things for you

 

Usefull lol. I cam see where I went wrong XD

 

Is this moderator application thing going to be open forever? Because in my opinion moderators should only be selected if needed. Why have more than you need? But congrats on mod, George.

 

I think we should have about 1-2 mods at the most online at a time. And like 5 for each main time zone.

 

I'm not sure, but thanks <3

 

Nice

 

We don't want the server to be overrun with mods or they will probably get slack if other mods are doing the moderating.

 

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm worried right now a couple of mods are already slacking.

 

I don't think we need to worry about that yet. I hope not.

 

I'm not sure. Sometimes you have to address a problem before it expands.

 

Yeah its definitely something staff need to watch out for.

 

nice job explaning!

 

Just added an extra point to the Tips section.

 

I feel bad for saying this but I'm so glad. I really agree there are a lot.

 

Yeah, the "rule" was in place for a while but it only became official today really...

 

Hey u said that don't be a dick in someone's application but hasn't calebH already done that in manys app? Then he starts slagging off YONDA and squadcraft. Someone needs to do something about this shit bag

 

? Ive only said things about Fallen... And i try to help out the mods by pointing things out to people and I also try to help people who make mod apps.

You can look all over fourms ive said nothing bad about Yonda

 

thanks dibley for the infomation hope everyone understands now

 

I like the whole tips thing its good but i dont agree with the immediatly denying kitpvp applications because theres 2 (active) mods and one of them is barely on i think that kitpvp needs a new mod thats (active)

 

Ya but they don't want too many mods and maby there not in your timezone

 

both of them in my timezone and there are 4 mods on kitpvp 2 (inactive) and the other 2 are barely on so i dont know why they wouldnt want more.

 

Not my decision, sorry. I got told to put it on there.

 

Broz im lik really 3 months ok ill wait

 

I want more kitpvp mods. I never said I didnt, sikk said that.

 

I applied for that :3

 

So Yonda is it only kitpvp that needs more mods bro?

 

I think there was just a misconception between the Moderators, I have taken Kitpvp off the "No Mods needed list"

 

Very nice. Will we ever be able to try to be a mod on mcmmo?

 

SOO I might try to be a kit pvp
Mod once my channel is up and has a few vids

 

Y would u try to be mod on mcmmo if u have diamond? Then the diamond is a waste of money.

 

You still keep your donator perks as a Moderator... Also it's all about helping out with the server no what's convenient for him!

 

Ok but don't I get emerald when u become mod? Ik it's not about the kits but if I had diamond I wouldn't then apply for mod. In my opinion it's a waste of money but its his choice and I respect that

 

I would just apply for another server but still help out wiv mcmmo but just no a mod.

 

Thank you so much I will keep this in mine in my next mod request.

 

I really want to be a skywars (teams) mod because I have counted 13 people fly hacking and when I tried getting a moderators attention he ignored me. I also catch people team killing which always makes me angry. Someone keeps saying we have enough sky war moderators BUT THEY DO NOTHING! again I counted 13 hackers LAST WEEK
I really hope to be a mod! if you can WRITE BACK PLEASE! bai

 

Let me explain.
If u have a problem about the mods, speak wiv yonda.
If u have a problem number with the number of mods and u think if the application is good they should be mod Even tho its full up, speak wiv yonda.
U said the skywars mods do nothing (the writer of this thread is a skywars mod, careful wot u say) so in summary, don't complain on these sort of threads, speak wiv yonda

 

Yeah, I'm gonna keep this short. You need evidence to ban as a moderator, it's hard to get evidence. We know there has been a rise in fly hackers recently and we are dealing with it. We do a lot more than you think.

 

We do a lot more than you think, and if you or 99.9% of other people who think like you were made mod, would do a hella lot less than you think you would

 

Thank you Dibleyy!
I can defiantly see where I went wrong

 

This is just confusing but helpfull shit

 

In what way?

 

There is and will always be hate, it's the way it works. But these rules I feel enforce a safer and cleaner Squadcraft.

 

I agree yum44.

 

I have probably read this nearly 10 times LOL

 

Yea same lol.

 

They Should Be Mods On Other Servers Like Creative SkyBlock And Other.
So That They Can Help Our Server: SquadCraft

 

..Whaaaat?

 

I think he's trying to say there sgoukld be skyblock mods and creative

 

There are

 

I added in not looking for skyblock mods

 

Ty

 

This is great; but I need to know... What do I include for my mod application? (And frankly I'm sad that skyblock is full, lol)

 

Read Yonda's post

 

i like turtles.

 

Can I make another one although it's been a day, I didn't do the format and I think I deserve a redo due to that, please take this into consideration.

 

I personally would let you. If other mods agree with this, don't yet. But from me it WOULD be a yes. Others?

 

I think in these kind of situations where someone is denied not because their application was bad, but because they didnt look at the format, possibly tell them that they have maybe 24 hours to fix it. But only in these situations.

 

A good suggestion, I feel

 

You feel?
Now that is kinky. :§
And posh.
I lyk.

 

So now that 2 months have passed I can make another app?

 

2 months have not passed. But go for it after a month

 

So i made mine on 2 of march, its been the 2 of april (1month) so u tell me i shld wait till 2 of may (2-3months recommend)?

 

Meh if you want. The longer you wait the more benefit you'll get. But 1 month is the bare minimum so you are allowed

 

Ok den

 

When will they start accepting faction requests? Because i accidentally submitted mine without knowing.

 

It's already full of Mods, that's why their not accepting.

 

How old do you have too be too apply?

 

Yonda accepts people 14+

 

What about nicole and cha

 

The rule is new apparently. Yeah we have alot of mods currently under 14

 

dammit. i guess i wont get in at the age of 6 ((

 

Well im almost 15

Im sad they dont accept new kitpvp mods

Because it my fav part of the serv
Already playing on it for like an year

 

Since the new rule is "None under 14", can you write your mental age instead of your physical age?

 

Some people's mental age causes them to make up a mental age :3

 

Well the mods can estimate a mental age after they read the app. Maybe you should remove the whole age thing, and let the mods decide how old the person is, purely on their literacy skills and not based on a number that can easily be false.

 

What if someone has dyslexia? :/

 

Then they won't get mod. Mods generally need to be good at writing things.

 

I have dyslexia and that doesnt matter....


Dyslexia does not say you cant be mod...

 

I do take your point. But Yondas rule not ours D:

 

You do? I would never have known, your literacy skills seem almost immaculate.

 

its not a real problem i born with it i cant do anything about it

but you dont want to life in holland. to many grammar rules i

sometime i know only the english word of it and not the dutch one xD

 

You usually are pretty well spoken though.

 

yeah i do play enlgish game since i was 7

starter with runescape i didnt like the dutch server so i'd go to the english on there it starded

now im owner of a server with 30 peeps (i will never advertise or ask tosome1 from squad to come on mine)

and i just like the english language

 

Same im from Austria

 

My thread got locked because it was for sw evolved. May you edit it and add it in the things that arnt accepting mods. It would provent players from doing the same thing as me

 

Done

 

Ty

 

Due to the recent demotion of evravon30, are you accepting moderator requests on Skywars? Because there have been a lot of new applications. And if they are, tell me soon because I have an application all lined up and ready to go.

 

They have'nt yet decided

 

Im making new app today though

 

I agree with the age thing. If its a great app its probabl not written by a 8 year old
