Yes, it is time. For round two. Ingame name: Andy_Plays_MC Real name: Andy, my nickname. Age: 14 (I can be as mature as a 18 year old if wanted). Timezone: Pacific Respectfulness on a scale of 1-10: 9,I respect people. But I can get a bit annoying at times. Obedience on a scale of 1-10: 9.5 If anyone tells me to do something, I will try to do it as quick as possible. Experience: I have been helping around new servers a lot. Although this is more technical issues they had, such as permissions, and plugins. I am also, the owner of my own server. I've chosen not to include the name of the server in this application, as this might be seen as a way of "Advertising" my own server, which I intend not to do. The server is a little different from this one, we do have pvp, but the server is mainly focused on a peaceful towny survival. We get a daily 1-5 people. The server is currently down. I am trying to fix it. Any past offences: Banned once, jailed a couple of times. Banned for hacking for 12 hours, never doing that again. Reasons you should be moderator: Please read the entire thing before rating, please don't -1 because "you've never seen me before", because that has to be either your fault, or blame time zones. Please don't like because you "know me", just rate on the basis of the app, everything in this app is 100% true, I'm even honest about my bad sides: My ingame name is Andy_Plays_MC and I'm applying for Moderator because I want to be part of the great team of Squadcraft to develop, moderate and enjoy the Network itself. Quite often I see people who requires assistance and I provide them with it to the best of my ability (and I don't mean things like 'Give me money') unless theres a lot of other people who will give the same assistance in which case I don't believe that I need to repeat what other people said since its pointless though if no assistance is provided in a short moment, I will provide it. One of the reasons that I want to be a Moderator is because I like helping people (I do so IRL as well as in Minecraft) and I hate rule breakers. Quite often I see people who requires help and I provide it to them but sometimes I find that people ignore my message and keeps asking and spamming (in which case I provide them with the help they needed and also warn them of the consequences of spamming) and sometimes people take the wrong advice or a troll by other players. I try to tell people to stop doing something wrong, but, unfortunately, there has been many cases that people ignored my telling them not to do it just because the person who told them to do it had a higher rank than me (which psychologically makes people feel that they are more trustworthy) and ends up causing chaos and insults and spams etc. I want to stop things like that. I hate Trollers. I hate Hackers. I hate scammers and I hate spammers. I often am on Skywars where I see so many spammers and I warn them of the consequences of spamming and tell them to stop which usually gets dismissed but sometimes works. The spam usually makes it impossible for non-donators to get any customers (which I know due to the fact that I suffered the same things) and though thats why donating is worth it, I think they deserve some chance from time to time since I believe that Squadcraft is DEFINITELY not a 'Pay to Win' Server but 'Pay to Enjoy even more' but enjoyable even without donation (which is part of the reasons why I love Squadcraft). Hackers however I have no luck with since my laptop doesn't have a good uploading speed and lags quite often making it impossible to report hackers since apparently screen shots aren't usually good enough. However I do try and get other people to record and report them though that doesn't work very good usually. However, that doesn't mean that I don't do anything. I warn the Hackers of the consequences regardless and say that I'm CAN report them rather than I WILL report them since I dislike lying. It works sometimes which leaves the other players able to play in peace (that is as much peace as they can get while doing pvp etc ;P). My experience on the Squadcraft server itself is quite large as well. I have dealt with many hackers (though I couldn't report them due to issues mentioned previously) and I have dealt with many spammers and those who complained about something. I have experienced what its like to be a non-donator and how it feels as well as being a donator and a victim of scams and hacks. I also have a small skill at finding glitches and bugs. I am decent at dealing with arguments between players which I have dealt with many times so far. I also do not approve of inappropriate subjects or swearing too much (I don't swear unless I'm really angry) either. My activity on the server is quite good (I believe) as I am quite active on shout box, forums and in game as well. I have been on the server for months. I have been at some chaotic events like I was on the shout box as well as in game calming people down etc for quite an extensive time. However, despite all this I am not without flaws. I do very occasionally let my tongue get carried away a little though not too far and sometimes I may not be as sharp with providing assistance as usual though that is due to the fact that quite often I'm on the server at quite late in the night. I'm usually on until 12 am and sometimes going even further which slows my wits noticeably. I do have some other minor flaws though I am working in it. Now, on with the final part of what I want to talk about. Due to my parents and school, my activity may decrease greatly which I am very regretful of but I'm afraid it has to happen. However, I will be active during holidays and the reason I applied now is so that my active time - no matter how small - will help at least some people and improve the server no matter how small my assistance may change. Also, I seem to lag quite often on the forums now making it almost impossible for me to do much on it most of the times (will be working on fixing that as well) Squadcraft is an amazing server, with an absolutely awesome community, I learned a lot from the people in the community, and I passed this information on to help others, It feels extremely good to wake up, take a look at the Squadcraft forums and see I got a few alerts from people that appreciate my help, or people that just liked what I did. I'm always eager to learn more, and everytime I go to sleep, I have to take a look at the forums, wondering if I got alerts. In the months I spend with Squadcraft I got to know a lot of cool people, people that appreciate what I'm doing here, this is just awesome. Of course there are a lot of hackers and other people on Arkham that just want to ruin the game for others by hacking or harassing other player, by being a Moderator I would love to help reducing the population of these people, and make the Arkham community even better! What I do at SQuadcraft (from doing the most to doing the least): Talking to people (ingame and on forums), Helping people, play Arkham, record and report hackers (when my computer doesn't mess up). I donated 70 dollars in total to Squadcraft. I find the community incredible. From the players to the staff, everyone is unbelievably friendly, and you have made me feel like I am one of you, despite being so new and occasionally, if I may say so myself, nubby. I believe I am eligible for staff as I am experienced, mature, and most of all, committed. I have been staff on a multitude of servers in the past, and whether it be as a helper, a moderator, or even an admin, I have always made it a point to learn everything I possibly could about the server, so I could help and answer any questions the players had. I also have a vast knowledge of minecraft commands, and I can easily adapt to new commands, rules or any other changes you can throw at me. These commands are of course only to be used when appropriate, and I am fully aware of that. I am able to handle big workloads and I am accustomed to working on large servers. I am currently not staff on any operational server. (Resignation). I will be honest and admit that I can sometimes be slightly immature and joke around, but whenever I am needed, you can expect me to be as serious and mature as it is humanly possible. This brings me to my last point, commitment. When it comes to helping, you would be amazed at how dedicated I can be. I always put Squadcraft and helping it's players before anything else, and I will continue to do so whether I am accepted as staff or not.
I could not do longer than 10,000 words Let me finish it. Pro's: -Strong communication with the community. -I take jobs REALLY serious. I would never annoy or harass people, just reasonable jokes from time to time. -I'm really trustworthy. -I'm honest (I never lied about anything, and I'm also honest about my bad sides). -Active on forums and ingame. -I could moderate ingame about 6 hours, and spend about 4 hours a day on the forums. -When two people are argueing I can easily talk to both, and find a solution for the problem. -I'm really calm and I never rage (that's why I can handle to argueing people). -I love hunting hackers. -I love helping people, it gives me an accomplished feel. (I always think: What if I needed help, and nobody would help me, that would suck). -Even if I hate somebody (like a hacker), I can still properly talk to them, and listen to what they gotta say, without interrupting them. -I'm patient (usually) -I've been playing a very long time. -Experience Minecraft player. -Aware of every single rule, forums rules, and ingame rules. Con's: -Pretty curious, I always want to know what's going on, this can be a little annoying sometimes. -I'm never on TeamSpeak, because there are almost no people on. -Sometimes I'm a little too enthusiastic about things... Incidents I've had with other staff members (See, I'm honest), or previous bans: I have been banned for hacking. I will never do it again. What would I do as a Moderator in certain situations (If I'm not allowed to do anything from this list, I'd still follow the rules, and do something else): -People swearing: Warn via message, then warn globally, then mute. -Two people argueing. Talk to both, learn what the problem is, try to think of a solution (this usually helps). If they keep argueing, warn, then mute. -Dude spamming: Ask him to stop, then /warn, then mute. -Dude spamming his server ip, or youtube channel etc.: Instant mute, and report. Clear chat... -Spotting a hacker: Ask him to stop, Record and Report like always -People discriminating others: Warn, then mute, then if it keeps happening, a ban. RACISM IS VERY SERIOUS. -Catching exploiters: Tell the admins ASAP. -Someone asking people how to use certain exploits. Warn, then mute. -People speaking other languages than English: Warn, then mute. -When somebody says his friend, or family went on his account, and got him muted/banned: Tell them he's responsible for his own account, and it's his/her own fault. -Non-Staff using color: Warn, /ban, mute. All these warns will be kindly, example: "/msg McTr0ll69 Could you stop harassing our players, if you keep doing it you might get muted." Everytime I make a decision, and people don't agree with it, I'll link them to the "rules page" (When I'm right), or accept that I'm wrong, and apologize (When I'm wrong). Forum situations: -Dude with a way too long signature: Start a conversation with him, and ask him to make it smaller. If he doesn't make it smaller within a week, I'll ask a higher staff member to edit/delete it. -Spammer: Report with a screenshot and a link of the spammed thread. -Inappropriate links or anything similar, something racist, bullying: Report with screenshot and, if it isn't in shoutbox, link to thread. I don't know what moderators can do on the forums, but I'll try my best to get the thread deleted ASAP. Please tell me why you decided to like or dislike my app. You better like it though, it took me a lot of time to make this app! . I'm just kidding. xD Good day to all of you, and don't forget to go outside every once to a while, be healthy! Any extra things you want to add: I want to be staff, because I truly enjoy helping people. I have no intention of getting it for a fancy title, power and respect.(Although in my opinion, staff members should not be given more respect than players, as respect from the individual is something you deserve.) All my life I've dedicated myself to helping others. I do not run my own server so I can boss people around, or brag about my rank. I do it cause I enjoy the feeling of accomplishing something for others. I also really enjoy this server, and think every aspect of it is as a server should be. The staff that is now also seems nice, and I would love to get to know them even more. I take karate. I am really nice and respectful. I am a straight A student in school. I have won 36 medals and awards in real life. I play the drums and the piano. I have won medals from karate, swimming, piano, and tennis. 15 from karate, 10 from swimming, 2 from piano, and 8 from tennis. I play other sports too! These sports are baseball, football, hockey, table tennis, volleyball, and basketball. Now I think thats all from me Thanks for reading this rather too extensive piece of writing P.S. Please don't forget to tell me reasons of why you rated especially if its a -1 Sorry for a bit of repetition. I trail off sometimes. Well, Andy OUT
