    Hello everyone! I just want to start off by saying thanks so much for taking your time out of your day to read my application. I worked hard on this and I tried to be as truthful as can be. If you have any questions or comments about it, of course you can always ask in the comment section below. I wouldn't say no to that or there would be no point to this application. :)

    Little side note before we start, I will be using just 2 colors on the whole application, except for my little signature in the end. If anything is in
    this text, that is a question and/or a topic. Anything in plain black text is just answers to the question and/or topic.
    Thanks!


    Your in-game name: Gamzee24. That is my IGN but I go under some /nicks usually, but not too often: Gamzilla, XmasGamzee, Gobble_Gobble_Gam, Famzee, Fxmz33, OfficerGamzilla, Gamzee, and some others that I can't remember. Some of these nicks posted here are maybe holiday nicks like XmasGamzee and Gobble_Gobble_Gam. But if you see any of these nicks in chat then you know it's me (unless it's someone trying to nick abuse, but always to be safe, use /realname <name>)

    Which timezone are you in? PST. I live in the USA, in California (I'm not very good at timezones, something I need to work on).

    What country do you live in?
    I currently live in the USA, in the state of California! (MURICA!)

    Which languages do you speak?
    I speak English and I took 3 years of Spanish in high school. Here’s what I know: Hola, como estas? Just kidding, I know way more than that. I also understand a little bit of Arabic, but I can't really read or type it, I can just hear what my parents say and understand from that.

    Do you have 2FA enabled?
    Yes.

    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence?
    Yes, I am able to do screenshots from RSHIFT (I changed this key because my PC has function keys that get in the way, and I need to press FN before hitting the function keys, which is annoying), I can also record from my phone and send it to the forums, Discord, or Skype if needed. I also am able to go on the forums, and Discord a lot on mobile. My forums is Gamzee24 (obviously). If you wish to know my Discord and/or Skype, start a convo with me and I’d be more than happy to answer! :)

    Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?) - I could be that guy that wants to lie about this but it doesn't really help in his or her situation because mods have logs of every single time you were banned so no lying here!
    -Yes, I was banned for looting by Lycel (on .net).
    -I also got banned for bridging by SugarCane (also on .net).
    -I also got banned for a “fake death threat” by Dough (also on .net).
    -I also got banned for griefing PurpleVillager1's alt's island because I thought she quit.
    I apologize GREATLY for my actions posted here.
    I understand the rules and just so I can remember the rules, I keep a post-it-
    note beside me on my wall just in case so I can remember them allllllll (Did that on purpose). I will make sure I know what the rules are and I will make sure I follow them. I have learned from my mistakes and from the bans and I won't do this ever again (and I'll make sure I won't). I regret those moments every time I look on my application. :(

    Why do you think you should be a mod? I think I am ready for a job like this. I have seen so many people asking for help these days so I keep thinking, "Man, it would be great being a mod right now." I know the server has merged and everything but I still think I can handle a server like this. (I understand that there are already a lot of moderators that work for this server, but most of the mods are not usually online at night, but I could change that.) I think I should be a mod on this server especially because it's just the right size for me and it will make me ready for larger servers if I ever want to become a mod there. Plus, I don't really see a lot of active moderators online at around nighttime in the U.S. so I thought that I could help then!
    • Helpful: I like to help ANYONE who is in need of help, whether it's returning lost items, or answering questions people ask me or if someone needs a little donation. I am on my computer to help people physically, but if not, then I try to go on Minechat whenever I can and see if people need help. (But not physically help, as in going to that person). (I am always helpful and I ask people if they need help in the general chat, but I always get messages from people. I ask people out loud but I can't make them ask out loud either). I will also tell a person if something they are doing is wrong like trading sand or buckets by saying, "Bucket trading is illegal!" or "Sand trading is not allowed!", stuff like that. I will also make sure that person knows the rules and I will tell them if they need to know since I keep a post-it-note beside me on my wall, or I will tell them to simply look it up themselves but I won't since I'm not rude. :p
    • Enthusiastic: I love Minecraft and I love this server. Playing on servers makes me feel happy because I get to be around a lot of people and that encourages me to be kind. Plus, when I'm bored, I'll just ask my mom for my computer, and play on Skyblock, if she lets me of course.
    • Kind: I am a very kind person around other players even when they aren't being nice to me. My parents used to tell me: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I think this is very true and I keep telling myself this whenever people try to be mean to me. #StompOutBullying! Although I try my best to be nice to any trolly or rude players but I get bullied a lot in real life so it’s a little hard for me to cope here, but I try my best. So bear with me if I say something rude on accident. I probably didn’t mean it!
    • Honest: I am very honest and I always think "Honesty is the best policy" and it's always better to tell the truth because when you tell a lie, the other person will always figure out that you're lying in the future. I will also try to make sure that other people on the server will tell the truth towards others.
    • Respect/Respectful: I respect many people no matter what and I try to stay positive and keep the server positive too, as in trying to get others to respect others around them. I also treat skygods and donors and mods as if everyone was equal. I don't make fun of a new player of what they do, like make a mistake, instead I help the player out to help him or her understand the server better, and not laugh at him or her, unlike some people.
    • Safe: What I mean by safe in this case means I won't over use my commands as in I won't ban a person for them doing nothing, and I'll make sure I won't ban, mute, or kick an innocent player.
    • Aware: I am aware of things which means that I will always watch the chat so that I can know whenever people need help with anything, I can help them right away and they don't have to wait a long time for someone to help them.
    • Patient: I can relate to this with "Aware" because if I am a mod, I'll be patient and I'll watch the chat to see if anyone needs justice! (LOL) (or help).
    • Funny: I am usually funny and this helps when someone is feeling sad if because that person got grieved, scammed, or lost anything, I will be there to help get a little sense of humor in them (if I can’t help in any other way) so they won't be so sad when they lose anything. I am usually funny also in the normal chat so I can give a few people just a little laughter. PLEASE don’t mistake this of me being immature. People ALWAYS take this the wrong way about me and I get mad about it a lot. Just because I’m an overall funny person, doesn’t mean that I can’t be mature at the same time. Take Myrmidous as an example. He’s super serious about his job and every now and then he cracks a few funny jokes or puns that makes people laugh. Like one time when I went online, he called me Gamzilla and I didn’t even know why. But I made that my /nick and I love it.
    • Trustworthy: When people ask me to search their island or anything that has to do with keeping/holding someone else's items, I will always be careful with it and I'll never give it to anyone so they can use it, and I won't grief that person's island (if they have /trusted me), because I'm trustworthy! ;)
    • Active: I am usually on the weekends but I can definitely play longer on breaks. And I can actually now get on more often using the Minechat app on my phone, so if I don't get any homework, I can just hop on that for a little bit, because my parents usually don’t let me play on weekdays.
    • Fast Typer: I can type kind of quick. Usually when I see someone ask for help in the general chat, I try my best to quickly answer their question, so they don't have to struggle anymore. Sometimes I make a few errors in my typing but not too many errors where the other person doesn't know what I'm saying. I'm kind of self taught on this skill. I am currently trying to get this skill improved.
    • Experienced: I have actually been a part of my friend's server for a little while (You can read more about this in the section: "Do you have any past experiences as a moderator?") so I do know how to use most of the basic moderator commands such as /ban, /kick, /mute, etc. I think this is helpful because as soon as I get mod, I can get straight into the action, and not have to worry about a thing (hopefully).
    • Welcoming (New Server; doesn’t really go to /classic): I will try my best to welcome each and every new player to our beloved Skyblock server. I feel that if a new player is not welcomed properly, they won’t think the community of Skyblock doesn’t have any nice people, and they might leave. This doesn’t really go to /classic because currently (as far as I know), there’s no welcome message for new players. But who knows, maybe Noobcrew or CypriotMerkz will add this feature to /classic. In the thread located here, you can see that Noobcrew stated that they are trying to take the features from SB2 onto SB1, so maybe we will have this feature sometime soon! :) :p
    How long can you be active on the server every day? I am usually on skyblock.net a lot. But usually if I am not online, its mostly because I have a lot of school work to do at home (I am in 12th grade at my high school).
    Update: I no longer have band any more after school because competition season is over and since I’m a senior, I won’t need to practice after marching band season for next year.
    My normal school days are from 8:30 am to 2:40 pm.
    (These times below are affected of how much homework I have.) Also, if my parents ground me, it will affect these times as well.
    Weekdays (maybe I’ll get to play on weekdays if I get lucky. If I do, here's the time when I can be on then.):
    5pm-8:30pm
    Weekends:
    11am-9pm
    Holidays/breaks:
    11am-9pm
    I can also be online from the Minechat app if I can't get on my PC.
    And I'm also usually on the Discord and the Forums daily.
    NOTE #1: These times are not set if I play everyday! These are set if I DO play that day.
    NOTE #2: My schedule may be changing because I’m almost done with school so maybe I’ll have more time to play. Well, probably the weekday times.

    How long have you been playing Skyblock?
    I'd day for maybe about 3 years. But I do know for a fact that I've been on Skyblock long enough to be a moderator.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator? Yes, I became a Mod for my friend's server. I don't do anything much on it but I have made a pvp arena, bouncy house (lol), 3 parkours, and a guards tower for the pvp arena so the other mods that are online can view the people who are battling to see if there are any cheaters or hackers or modders and ban them right away. I also am a moderator for 2 YouTubers Viral Edge and SoupaMuffinGames. I know this MAY seem useless but having something is better than having nothing, right?

    Do you meet the requirements for staff?
    Yes. I posted way more than 50 times, I set up my 2Fa, I've been registered on the Skyblock Forums for more than 2 weeks, and I do have Skype and Discord to be able to speak with others.

    Here is a little bit about myself:
    1: My first name is Matthew, (or Matt), I prefer being called Matt but you can call me either one if you're not calling me Gamzee or Gam.
    2: I am a friendly guy, if someone is in need of help I will help them! If someone asks me for help, I usually help them out too.
    3: I am an 18 year old teen (birthday is April 11th). I was born in the year 2000 in the state of California. I can speak a little bit of Spanish.
    4: I get excited a lot. Sometimes I get too excited over things that aren't really too much to be excited about.
    5: I play the trumpet in my concert band class.
    6: I have 4 people in my current family: me, my brother, my mom, and my dad.
    (I understand if these facts may be useless, but I want to get a chance to make friends on the forums and get people to know me better!) ;)
    Apologies if I have made any grammatical errors. If I did, please reply nicely and also let me know if I should add/delete anything to make things better!
    This is the end to my moderator application. Thanks so much for reading my application and if you have time, please post your opinions down below! Feedback is GREATLY appreciated! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them below as well! (I'll let you guys know if I make any changes to my application in the comment section below). Thanks again for reading my application and I hope you guys have a GRRRRRRREAT day!
    PEACE OUT! TOODLES!! ;)^-^ TYAHAND! (Thank you and have a nice day! Learned it from my English teacher. :>)

    I apologize yet again to everyone for the fact that my application keeps getting denied by some moderator every time I get banned on the forums. And I apologize a second time because this is my 3rd application that I've had to post, and that really doesn't look good on me.

    But I promise you all, I've change my ways of taking in any kind of criticism and feedback, I swear. I will not disappoint or let you guys down. :)

    I think its a bit to early after a forum ban to be back applying, I suggest locking this and waiting a while for people to be able to see how you have changed. I am going with Neutral, good luck Gamzee! :)

    I see where you're coming from but I really don't think it'll make so much of a difference because most people already have a low opinion of me. And it's the people who know that I was recently banned.

    Thanks for your opinion. I'll try to be more mature next time around.
    But I think I only saw you in game twice since the new server came and it really wasn't for that long. Like maybe several minutes, so I suggest get to know me better in game before you say I'm "extremely" immature because that's kinda going a bit overboard. Although I agree with you that I am at a level of immaturity and that needs to be fixed. :)

    I've seen the way you act on the forums, I don't need to see you in-game for me to judge on how you behave.

    No support at the moment. I believe you could be a good applicant, one day, but for now you are still immature.

    Little message to everyone. I've also made several changes to the application. It has some more information and I made it only a 2 color scheme, red and black.

    Your sarcasm can be quite offensive some times and you tend to be immature. You never help out and your jokes are sometimes rude and extremely inappropriate. You were banned too, and came applying right after being unbanned. Restating what I said before, your joking around- I've been offended by your sarcasm, you need to work on that seriously and immediately.
    Good luck

    Sorry Gamzee but I have to no support this. When you returned back in the new server you tend to be more saltier than before. The other reasons were stated by Wolfie. Good luck! :heart:

    No support. A few weeks ago I banned you for griefing and you literally said "I didn't know that griefing players who had quit was bannable.". Have you even read the rules?

    Hi Gamzee! :)

    First of all thank you for apologizing for your actions in the past. I believe you needed to do that.

    Second, I'll have to go to neutral bud. Even though im your friend, I still believe that sometimes your sarcasm can be taken as an offense. Like couple days ago, you were jokingly calling me a noob. At first I thought it was fine, but you started to get repetitive, which made me feel offended inside. Just becareful on your sarcasm dude!

    Third, you just came from your ban and I think you need to spend some time chatting with people on forums and then apply for mod-that way people will get to understand you more and make better judgement of you :).

    That's all I'v gotta say if anyone wants to add on to my reply please let me know and I will add on as you wish :)

    Thank you archer. I can understand where you’re coming from. I know I’m immature and I know it can go over board sometimes but I can’t be that all serious person. That’s just not me. And maybe being immature a little bit is just my way of having fun. Everyone has immaturity especially when they are having fun.
    And I know that starting an app after being unbanned isn’t the best thing to do but I can’t wait any longer. I’ve had the same application up for who knows how long, and every time I get banner apparently some moderator thinks they have the right of being able to deny their application without their consent. Like what if they wanted to go back into it after being unbanned? They never know and they should never assume.

    Sorry to put your message on hold but I wanted some time to think about what I wanted to say in response to this. Sorry if anything I say is offensive in any way, it’s just what I thinking throughout this whole “process.”

    I really don’t appreciate this being displayed in a public matter. And it doesn’t need to be. If you had any more questions about that situation, you could start a convo with me and I’d be happy to answer. But it doesn’t seem you care about anyone’s feelings so I’ll answer it here then, publically.

    There’s no specific rule of “no griefing players after they quit.” And yea yea I know what you’re gonna say next “Common sense!” Yea I know. It was a mistake. A dumb and terrible mistake and I let someone else get in my head about it too, telling me to do it. And yes of course I fully read the rules. But Laini, from the way you’re judging me and I can probably sense the way on how you could ask me “Have you even read the rules?” I just know how you would ask me that while talking.

    And Laini? If you actually were a good moderator, you wouldn’t need other moderators to make your own opinion. You could do that yourself. And have me wait days sitting on the discord, just for one day you could tell my that you’ve kept my in game ban because of my forums ban. Now that’s a dumb reason not to unban someone in game, because of a forums ban. Wow. Even thought my forums ban had nothing to do with my in game ban, yet it was brought in.

    Sorry this was long but this I thought I needed to address this.

    You basically called me a bad moderator because I kept you banned.
    You’re constantly getting banned here and never seem to learn your lesson. It’s not hard to understand that at all. If you were a moderator you’d have to make some decisions like that too. Your excuses are pretty ridiculous.
    You continuously insult the team you would be working on if you were a moderator. It’s funny.
    Don’t get me wrong, because every time I see you in game you are pretty friendly, but the fact that you can break a simple rule and not seem to understand that you did something wrong is really crazy.
    You didn’t have to go continuously messaging me on discord. I left you waiting because I was talking to your previous banning moderators. It’s not stupid, it’s common sense. I wanted more information about your previous offences.

    Your last paragraph reminds me of your old application, the amount of argument's that you had when people gave you negative comment's was causing so much drama, I hate to see this happen to your third moderator application Gamzee, this is not a good start. It completely contradicts your first comment you made on your application. Also keep the focus away from Laini as this is your application, people come here to give feedback on you not Laini. On top of this Laini is one of the most active and involved Moderator's she is definitely not a bad moderator.

    Im very close to No Supporting you Gamzee, I hope it doesn't come to that, I hope you can bounce back from this terrible start in your application.
    Goodluck Gamzee!

    I'm sorry. I absolutely dislike the fact that I was called because of my actions publicly. She could've started a convo with me if she had anymore questions about the ban.
    I didn't say that she was a bad moderator, but I didn't say she was a good one either. In my opinion she's ok, but to be a moderator, you need to learn to not take anyone super easy. So if you need to use the ban hammer, use it and don't feel bad. That kind of skill requires you to do things on your own and without anyone's secondhand opinions.

    Thanks for your feed back nonetheless Evux but I wouldn't have said what I said above if this was not put out publicly.

    AbdulSamad Do you have any real feedback for me please? Posting like this in my application could get you muted or banned. It's called derailing.
