    Your in-game name: DaddyFinalKills (Always nicked as Squig)
    What time zone are you in? PST (Pacific Standard Time) (California)
    What country do you live in? I live in the United States Of America.
    What languages do you speak? I speak very fluent English, Spanish, and learning Korean.
    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes/No Yes
    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc)
    Yes, I have multiple screen recorders (Bandicam, and Windows Screen Recorder) and use Lightshot and Minecraft Screenshot to take pictures of my screen.
    Why do you think you should become a mod?
    I think I should become a moderator for a few reasons.

    Helpful
    I've seen lots and lots of amounts of people that have been scammed or griefed. Some of the time, there are no moderators online to help or stop these things from happening to the player. I refund some or all of items to the people who were scammed/griefed and report the player who did it (if they know). I also see plenty of players who spam. When I see this, I will give them warnings. If they don't stop I will report them on forums.

    Respect
    I've have many friends. Every time I meet someone new, whoever they are, I will greet them, get to know them, and treat them with respect. I am very patient and calm with other player's. I never complain or yell. I do sometimes get mad at someone but i take some time to relax, and it's all good within 1 hour.

    Rules
    I have memorized all the rules by heart, and everytime they get updated, I am always well aware, and re-read all of them.

    Fast Typer
    Over time, I've gotten very fast at typing. I have been practicing typing for about 2 years, and I am now the #1 typer at my school. I can type from 100-137 words per minute with 137 being my best. If you ever message me in-game or ask for help in chat and I am helping someone else who needs help or has questions, I can help them quickly, then help you. (within 1 minute or less)

    Serious
    There are always times that it is okay to have fun, but I know when it's time to stop. I'm fairly strict, not too strict. When I need to be serious, I am serious.

    Experience
    As a Minecraft player I have a lot of experiences with things such as hacks. I pretty much know all the hacks from Kill Aura - Freecam, and how to determine if one is using them or not, signs such as they are hitting me to fast or when I'm behind them, they are viewing inaccessible thing, etc. There is a lot of scammers out there (that's another thing), and I know little things that give them away, such as a strange chat pattern, unwilling to specifically describe something, or making something intentionally unspecific. Having this sort of knowledge is useful when enforcing rules and investigating.

    Determination
    This is more of a life trait, but still it plays a good role in everything you do. I, personally, am a very determined person, when I start something I have to get it done unless impossible. As this also is important, since most roles that are required of a mod can be tiring, frustrating, or even stressful, it is good to have determination or not a lot will get done.

    Humor
    I'm just going to throw this one out there, I love making people laugh. I think humor plays a big role, lighting up people's mood, and just having general fun with others. Although humor is important, I know when it is not appropriate. I know how to make sure it doesn't get in the way of problems and situations. Although this isn't essential I still think it helpful when interacting with the community


    How long can you be active on the server everyday?
    Weekdays: 1-4
    Weekends: 5-12

    How long have you been playing Skyblock? 5 years (Since December 26, 2012)
    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & In-game) I was banned once in game for illegal bucket trade, but it was only a 7 day temporary ban. I was also banned once on forums, but it was a requested 5 day temp ban, to stop some hacker that got into my account. Also as a joke cyp banned me for "nick change appeal on forums" to get me to pay him some $20, which I did (LOL). Another time I was banned because I payed someone rares to get me Premium Lifetime, and a few months later, he chargebacked my rank, and got banned. I talked to CypriotMerkz, and he unbanned me.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?

    Yes, on other servers, as a dev, and moderator. Pre-EULA servers though, got shut down.

    Do you meet the requirements for staff? Yes/No

    Yes.

    Squig, you constantly leave & come back. You don’t show dedication by doing this. When I see you ingame you seem more focused on trading & such more than helping out. i’m sorry, but for now, no support. Good luck.

    With all due respect, is "constantly" 2 times? anyways, thanks I guess. :p
    Also, I'm not trading anymore due to the fact that I dropped all my rares in the void xd

    Hello, Squig. You aren't dedicated as much as you should be if you want to apply. One of the main qualities of a moderator is being helpful, which you never are in-game nor on forums. Also, the part where it says "Why do you think you should become a moderator", you only listed your qualities, but however the community would like to know your opinion on why should you get that rank, but the qualities too. I've never seen you warn rule breakers nor help. I'm sorry, but no support. Feel free to tag me in a week or two and I may change my opinion if I see you improved.
    Good luck! C:

    A week ago you said "I'm officially quitting" or something along those lines.

    No support.

    I haven't noticed you in game much however I am unsure if this is because of time zone's or inactivity so I will give you a Neutral, I am 100% open to change if I see improvements. :)

    Squig, you and I are really good companions, I see some faith in you. I mainly believe you have latent skills. I advise you to be more hard-working, such as being active, as this a vital part of being a moderator. It also includes assisting other users if there is no mod currently online. As well as reporting naughty players to Santa, as they don’t deserve presents for disobeying the rules.

    I will stay neutral for now, be more ambitious if you really want to become a moderator here.

    I've reported 2 people in my whole life for verbal abuse and ban evading, because not many people are doing the wrong thing on here, but thanks for the neutrals IllegalWiFi and Evux

    Even though you are my friend, Squig I am sticking with no support at the moment. Here are the reasons:
    • Not dedicated much. I see you being active then disappearing. Nonetheless you became active recently on both forums and in game.
    • I dont see you helping and I rarely see you talk in chat but if you do I see you talking about other stuff than helping.
    Good luck!
    EDIT: Ive dug deeper about your history and you have made a total of 6 apps seeing you are not dedicated enough.

    You aren’t really dedicated to the server. You have left multiple times and comeback. I don’t think you are ready for the position. Sorry Squig.

    Hey Squig, nice to see you back again. I hadn't seen you for a good few months up until a week or two ago.
    I don't see you helping at all, and you're not very active on forums.

    Neutral.

    Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't active because I was in Mexico to spend time with my family and didn't bring my laptop.
    Okay
    Alright, thanks for the feedback.

    Hey Squig,
    I'm going to stick with a neutral on this one. You have said a few times you're leaving and disappeared for long periods of time. I haven't really seen you active in game or on forums recently. If you can prove you're dedicated to the server and help out I know I can change.
    All the best of luck :).

    Neutral.

    Nice mod app buuuuuut as others said you haven't been dedicated. Plus adding humor as a reason why isn't a good trait. I know what you are trying to say, but it would've been better if you said engaging with the players. That helps out a lot.

    Good luck dude :)

    Can a moderator lock this mod app? I'm basically done with it ;P
