Preface:
Many of you know me from Skyblock as Swim. I am very active and love the community. Recently I have had the desire to become a moderator do to many people being clueless in chat, and seeing many people saying they have been greifed. I also hope you can forgive me for my previous bans, I have made some mistakes that many may not forgive, but I hope you can . Keep in mind, I'll be updating this a lot! Well here goes...

Your in-game name: SwimHornet (My /nick is Swim though. And yes... sometimes when I joke around it is Shrek )

Which time zone are you in? UTC-7:00

Which languages do you speak? English, fluent in French, I can tell if someone is cursing in Spanish… Don’t ask me why :3 also, if it comes down to it, I can use Google translate.

Have you ever been banned? (If yes, why?) First off this question makes me feel ashamed. One time I was banned for letting people grief my island. It had sand on it and I didn’t know that was illegal (yes I know that was stupid of me). The next time was because I took bedrock out of a chest mods were getting bedrock for a bedrock house. I really hope you can forgive me for these stupid actions I committed- because I really have changed. Also 24 hour temp banned (this was before I knew we couldn't trade for paypal $)

Why do you think you should be a mod? A reason I think I should be mod because a lot of times when I’m on in the morning, I see one moderator if not any on. Because of this, many people in chat say things like “Help I’ve been grieved” or “Someone stole my stuff”… You get the idea. If I were to become a moderator, I could talk to these people and get their problems resolved.
Another pressing reason I think I would be a good moderator is the fact that I have moderated on many different servers before. Many people say this… But the servers they moderated on are usually private and really just don’t have many people. One of the servers I moderated on got around 100 people on at a time. This gave me very valuable experiences that I hoped would one day help me be a sky block moderator. First off, I learned how to use logblock. This really isn’t that hard to use anyway, but I just thought I’d put it in here anyway. Also, I learned how to use rollback. I really don’t want Smod nor will I probably get it, but again, just in case I thought I’d put it in here. Unfortunately the owner couldn’t find out how to use buy craft and the server shut down.
My final reason I think I would be a good moderator is I have nothing better to do on Skyblock, so why not just help the community? I’m not going to go into detail, but I have a lot of diamonds, rares, and the most beautiful island thanks to moopuff . Whenever I see someone asking for help in chat, I answer, and if they need further help, I continue. I also take pride in reporting people who deserve it .
Well, if you’ve read through the whole application so far, congrats! I really hope you get the idea that I love helping the community and if I were to get mod, I could help even more .

What qualifications do you have? I am extremely qualified for the job- here’s why:
Unbiased: Many people on the server like to help out their friends, even when it comes to stuff they shouldn't do. Fortunately, I am not like that. I don't care who the heck you are! Unless told specific things by an admin I will do whatever punishment is necessary.
Organized: Being a mod means you have to have evidence of what the player has done that made themselves get banned or muted. I will keep all of the bans in different folders titled by the IGN (in game name). This will mean whenever someone appeals I could immediately hop on, give evidence, and get the appeal on its way.
Active: I am constantly on the forums and in game. You can see the amount of hours I play in the question below- "How long can you be active on the server every day?" Many people go on long vacations for the summer. I don't because we're moving :s.
Experienced: I have had experience at being a moderator on another server. You can read more about it above you
Prioritized: I know my priorities. #1 is school, sorry skyblock . But #2 is Skyblock, this is a community where I feel cared for, and one of which I love . Naturally I want to keep the server happy and clean.
Quick Learner: If there is anything else that I don't know about being a moderator, I will learn it very quick. Ever since I was little I could do things my friends couldn't. I learned how to swim at age 2. No lie. If I can do that, I think I will be able to learn more about moderating.
I can type fast: Since I'm on my computer all the time, I have learned to type extraordinary quick. I can also type without even looking at my computer. BTW I just typed this sentence and the one before without looking.
I know how to respond: I have looked at many appeals. Usually, moderators ask similar questions like "Why did you think griefing was OK?", "Can you tell me the rules?", or "How can I be sure you won't do this again?"
Good writing (in general): For my end of the year grades (all 4 quarters averaged together) I got a 97 in writing. The reason for this is my grammar is almost impeccable, my spelling is on point, and my vocabulary is extensive. When people have conversations (typing) with me- they're never confused because I can write well.
People trust me: Generally when Tmods are promoted, many regular players do not fully trust them yet (even if the tmods deserve it). Fortunately, I am one of the more well known and liked players on the skyblock community. People will not be afraid to call me if they need something.
I know trading prices: NOTE: I know this is not something that is particularly important for moderators. But as a bonus, I do know all trading prices. When players need prices, they generally go to me because I know them.
Strict but nice: I don't take anyones disrespect or anything along those lines. If you do something bad, you're going to get the punishment. If your respectful and nice, then I'm very easy to talk to, I'm funny, and I'm very nice .
Been Here for a long time: Many things have happened to the whole community since I have started, this means that next time something big happens. I will have experience with change. While some people will be confused, I'll be ready to keep doing my job.

How long can you be active on the server every day? Monday and Wednesday I can be on from 3:10 to approximately 4:30. On Tuesday and Thursday I can be on for around 2-4 hours depending on schoolwork. Finally Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I can be on for very long periods of time (3- whenever I fall asleep )

Do you have any past experience as a moderator? I actually have loads of experience . As said before, I have loads of experience. I have worked on a medium sized server before and know all about logblock and rollback (even though I probably won’t need it). You can basically read all about the experience in the “Why do you think you should be a mod?”

All about Sam (My name )
As of now, June 8th, 2014 I am 13 years old, I live right outside of Denver, and I looove playing on my computer (it's a mac OSX). I am going into the 8th grade.

It's not a joke . Also, I know we've had our differences and we've fought but I'd like to apologize for anything that you feel angry about.

Thanks guys

This is my mod application. If you want to argue in a conversation, that is fine by me. But can we not turn this into an argument thread? Thanks

Thanks guys

I actually do help a lot in game. We're in different time zones so I think that is the reason you don't see me help a lot. When I get on in the morning you're on.
