    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.

    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.

    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 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)
     
  25. CalebH13

    CalebH13 The Buildman

    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.

  32. Dibleyy

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

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

    Dibleyy The Skywars Vicar

    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!
     
  37. weathers08

    weathers08 The PVP Master

    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
     
  38. weathers08

    weathers08 The PVP Master

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

    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
     
  41. weathers08

    weathers08 The PVP Master

    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 :)
     
  42. Dibleyy

    Dibleyy The Skywars Vicar

    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.

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

    CheeseQuacks Everyone should use the most OP kits they can!

    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.

    Since the new rule is "None under 14", can you write your mental age instead of your physical age?
     
  81. Yum44

    Yum44 Zlol13's brother

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

    CheeseQuacks Everyone should use the most OP kits they can!

    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.
