    Hello, my name is Togpuss and today I will be applying for staff on skyblock.net.

    My IGN/In game name:
    My full in game name is Togpuss although people often refer to me as Tog or ‘Puss.
    [edit: There are currently players called “TogpussIsGod”, “TogpussIsLanky”, and Togpussisthebest”. These players are not me and only changed their IGNs for a joke. I also have no relation to @Togpussisaweeb]
    The only accounts I own and have access to are;
    Togpuss
    TheSound (aka SkyBuy)
    TogpussALT

    What is your location and time zone?
    I live in England meaning my time zone is BST but will later change to GMT as the years progress.

    What languages do you speak?
    My first language is English - for clear reasons, but I also know enough German to have a good conversation, and also know a small amount of French as well.

    Do you have 2FA Enabled?
    Of course I have 2FA enabled! I am a very secure person and have 2FA on almost everything that I have a login to accompanied by a secure password. I usually use my phone or email for 2FA although have a security key for backup.

    Do you have the necessary means of capturing devices? (i.e recording software, screenshots, etc.)
    Yes. I use Fraps Premium, OBS studio, and Jing for recording, while I use Gyazo, Jing and Fraps for taking screenshots as well. I also have a folder for F2 Minecraft screenshots.

    Why do you think you should become a staff member?
    I think I should become a staff member on Skyblock for a range of different reasons, thus I have compiled a list of reasons and described each of them in as much detail as possible.

    Helpful
    Let’s start with possibly the most important one. This seems like quite a basic one. Players tend to look for staff members if they’re in need of help. Helping people just so happens to be one of my best traits as well! In both real life, and in Minecraft, I do as much as I can to help those players in need - whether it’s for building, guidance, or someone struggling over algebra; I’ll always be willing to help them as I love making people happy and often feel satisfied with myself afterwards. As well as helping, I enjoy teaching and showing people how to do things. I have been complimented many times on my good teaching skills and would be delighted to share my knowledge with others about pretty much anything as well as learning things from other people.

    High Activity Levels
    The title speaks for itself really. I’m very active on the server, spending several hours online some days. I am also really active on Discord. At the time of editing this section, I am Discord addict- and Mee6 level 47.5 (19th) on the platform; averaging at up to 5,000 Mee6 XP daily. Alternatively, I can be actively found taking part in threads on forums.


    Experienced
    I have been a member of the community since early classic Skyblock. Not really too sure when I started exactly, but I have screenshots saved to my old computer dating back to early 2014, so I assume I could have only started then or late 2013. However, I didn’t get too involved with the server until 2015. I have seen quite a lot in my years playing.
    I also used to joint own a small factions server that often reached over fifteen players online at one single time where I gained moderation experience by catching hackers, or any other people who broke the rules, managing the in game chat, and managing the Discord chat.
    Sadly, that server project was seemingly abandoned due to the project being too expensive.
    I was also a moderator on a different server which entailed Factions, Skyblock, and KitPvP, until I decided to resign after a new manager that I disagreed with took over. I have moderation experience on several other servers that I have listed below;

    • Previously a moderator for a server called 'SailorsMC' (an average Skyblock server but with an ocean instead of void) which was Co-Owned by another notorious member of the Skyblock community.
    • I have been a moderator for another Skyblock server owned by the same people as the one above.
    • I have had previous helper experience on a server owned by someone that goes by the name of 'Haku'. (KitPvP and Skyblock server) Server name changed frequently.
    • I have had previous helper experience on a server by the name of 'Tazzy Factions' although has recently been renamed to 'Universal Factions' I believe.
    • I am currently a server moderator on a mini games server called 'CookieMC'.
    cookiemcmod.png
    As well as in game moderation experience, I have experience moderating discord servers. I have moderated many 100+ member servers therefore will only list the biggest few;

    • Currently own a Pokecord discord server which had more than 4,000 members (dropped slightly due to the deletion of Pokecord).
    88EA18E6-AE93-439E-8856-59FAE2B6B2DF.png
    • Previously a moderator for a Pokecord server with 3,000 members before being promoted to senior moderator, admin, then co-owner over a 2 year period. Server soon after deleted by Discord after the owner violated the ToS and attempted to sell Pokecord items in exchange for PayPal.
    • Previously a helper on a YouTuber's server with 25,000 members. Resigned after raids became common and after the colleague that convinced me to take the job left. Server became chaotic. I was one of few non-India based staff which made staff communication awkward due to a slight language barrier.

    Mature
    I believe that I am usually very mature for my age. I’m aware that I can be slightly immature around close friends, however I can control and channel this.

    Serious
    At times, I can be deadly serious if I need to be- but I promise you, I also have a great sense of humour and can be very funny at times. So you can laugh around with me all that you like. I try my best to maintain a professional attitude most of the time in game.

    Unbiased and Understanding
    I am understanding and never judge anyone, no matter what the situation is. If I were staff, I would always find solutions to problems and listen to not one side of the argument; but both sides of the argument to ensure that no one’s side of a story is getting blanked out. I treat everyone equally whether they’re close friends, or people I don’t get on so well with, and completely value everyone’s opinions- making sure to never skip to my own judgments no matter what. I am a very honest person too and will do anything in my power to find and tell the real truth.

    Hardworking and not lazy
    I would like to consider myself very hard working in both Minecraft and real life. I have always set myself targets for pretty much everything and as a result of my hard working, I am doing relatively well at school. I am the complete opposite of lazy both physically and mentally. Mentally, I never take the easiest or do the bare minimum for anything, and physically I push myself to my limit. I’m currently a regional Squash player with a top 150 ranking in my country. In addition to this, I have almost completed the Duke of Edinburgh award- having passed the expedition Summer of 2020.
    Being a staff member on skyblock would give me a big opportunity to show this dedication in game.

    Friendly
    I welcome new people with open arms and enjoy making new friends both in real life, and over the internet.
    I am quite sociable and I love acquainting myself with others!

    Quick Typer
    Typing quickly has many good benefits. It allows you to reply to messages as quick as possible. I am a very quick typer meaning I would be able to reply to people as quick as possible.

    Have you ever been banned in the past?
    Unfortunately, I have- multiple times.
    Once in ClassicSB (2015 or 2016)
    by Borahae for 24 hours for ‘Griefing’ (After the person who reported me framed me as they told me in a Skype chat to break his banners for him) - Didn’t make a forums ban appeal as it was such a short ban, although to this day both the “victim” and I are aware it was not deserved.

    I also got banned by Myrmidous in 2018 for advertising a different server on my private discord server, however I was unbanned a few days afterwards when I proved to him that it had nothing to do with Skyblock.

    All of this was 2-5 years ago and I believe I have had enough time to reflect on my actions since then.

    I recently (Early May 2020) received a requested permanent ban on one of my alternative accounts by Kerahna and Southwark.
    I recently (Mid June 2020) also received a requested permanent ban on another alternative account by Kerahna.
    I highly doubt these bans will have much importance though.


    Do you have any previous experience?
    See the section named ‘Experienced’.

    How long can you be online per day?

    Active Time
    Monday- 2-5 hours
    Tuesday- 2-3 hours
    Wednesday- 2-5 hours
    Thursday- 2-3 hours
    Friday- 2-3 hours
    Saturday and Sunday- 3-12 hours
    Holidays- 4-12 hours

    **Active on discord and forums 6-12 hours per day day, depending on weekends, weekdays, and holidays.**
    Note: Times may vary depending on school work. It is very difficult to state an exact time, as my life can get very busy.

    Known Commands:
    /kick [Player] [Reason]
    /mute [Player] [Reason]
    /tempmute [Player] [Time][Timeform] [Reason]
    /ban [Player] [Reason]
    /tempban [Player] [Time] [Timeform] [Reason]

    I know many others but I highly doubt they will be needed as a Helper or a Moderator. I am also aware of the physics of “Log-block” as I used similar plugins as a staff member on other servers, although I may need reminding of these.

    Do you meet the requirements to be staff?
    I believe so. Togpuss#3813

    I would like to thank you all for reading my application, it would mean so much to me to be on the staff team and has been one of my childhood dreams since I was inspired back in 2015 by a previous staff member. I would really appreciate if you supported me however, I completely understand if you don’t feel that I am quite ready yet. At the time of editing this section, my application has been active for more than a year and I believe that I have matured so much in that time. I have attracted 14,000 views on this thread, gaining almost 100 supports. This is a huge milestone and I cannot thank you all enough. It means so much to me.

    ~ Tog

    Hey togpuss, I will be going neutral for now. Your a very kind person but I just don't see you helping a lot on all 3 platforms, I also think you should work a bit more on your maturity and professionalism.
    I will reconsider my status when I feel you have improved
    Good luck :)

    Known commands is a good thing to have in an application. It means you don’t have to learn as much as moderator. Read some other applications and I’m sure you will find a lot like that.

    I’ll try to work on that, thanks for the feedback! :)

    This is a staff app, not an inside joke. Stuff like this is completely unnecessary.

    There are just a couple bits in your application that stick out because the comments are very immature. No support, I don’t think you currently know enough about the server.

    Neutral, Although i'm not active on the server often, you lack activity, and even if you do eventually get on, it would be a matter of time before you'd log off and go somewhere else.

    But that out of the way, I'd think you'll be able to get the role eventually.

    Good luck Buddy.

    I’m back on Skyblock for good. I have been very active online recently on both the game, discord, and forums. I only went in the first place because of a school work haul that I didn’t prepare for in time. I’ve learned I should do my school work now as soon as possible, so I don’t get panicked again. At the moment, all work is under control, and it should stay that way for at least another year from now; even then, I’ve promised myself not to leave homework and assignments to the night before meaning That everything should be good even in a years time.

    Hey Tog,

    Glad to see you applying for the server but I will rate it neutral leaning towards no support for now.

    Firstly, Your application looks great, maybe too many personalities, too many of them make it "unbelievable".

    Additionally, 6-18 hours on forums/discord seems to be unbelievable too, I bet you do other things than just sitting on discord and forums all day long without taking any breaks then sleeping.

    Finally, I think you could help and be more active in-game, not saying you aren't active or you aren't helping but you could do it more frequently, since that's what we need at the moment, active staff members.

    Kind regards,
    Oak

    Hey Oak, thanks so much for the feedback. I spend a lot of time on forums and discord as I would consider myself 'nocturnal' meaning I can go to sleep at 3am and not be tired when I wake up a couple of hours later. As stated in my application, unless it is at night, I’m not on discord or forums fulltime but do check them very often. I am working on my activity levels. Only the second week of the school year so had to recap on last years subjects. Now I have done that work, I can be active a lot more in game. Thanks again.

    Ye but still you are not online 6 hours in total, maybe you check time to time 6 hours straight, better to type "a few hours, I check forums and discord frequently" or something like that. Also, I can't judge you how active you will be in the next 4 weeks, I can only judge you how you've been in the past few months, hope you understand. Edit: You shouldn't disagree with criticism, take it as advice and learn instead. I've made that mistake too, so instead of rating it "disagree" take it as advice and learn :D

    Hi Tog.

    I really enjoyed reading your application.
    I am on the verge of neutral / support.

    I know you have recently just returned from a long absence and I feel you might need a few more months of getting back into the community until you’re ready.

    Kind regards and best wishes

    Hey, you're a very nice person! Like I told you in our private conversation last night the 6-18 hours seems unlikely. I'd say go with like 12 hours max, since you wont't be looking at forums and discord every second of the day.
    I've seen you helping out a lot, but maybe you try too hard? I'm sure you are doing it out of good intentions but make it more natural putting too much effort into something can work against you.
    I will go with neutral for now and will come back to this application when my opinion changes.:)

    Thanks for the feedback Teeler. I didn't mean for it to be taken that way and I know I would never be able to refund more valuable items, but would happily give compensation.

    Thanks for the feedback. I edited it to 6-12 hours on forums.

    all useless parts of your application
    how would this help with you being a staff member?

    remove the useless parts that don't need to be included in a application.

    Many thanks for the feedback.
    Serious: You can’t joke around all the time and have to be serious at times.
    Generous: Shows dedication to the server and being a staff member.
    Quick Typer: Not slow at getting back to people/replying to messages.
    Known commands: Helpful to know from previous experiences.
