    Introduction
    Hello Everyone! Now before you judge me by my age and say hey! A moderator can't be 6! Or 12? Or whatever. I believe every moderator at what age with maturity and the good critiques can become one. I believe that anything is possible and that everyone can do what they set their mind to. Enough intro, let's move into the real scoops.
    In Game Name
    My In Game Name (IGN) is DarkSideBear36. This is my original username and I don't plan on changing it sooner or later. For past usernames please click this link -> DarkSideBear36 – Minecraft Profile – NameMC
    What Timezone do you live in?
    I live in UTC−06:00 CT; Houston, Texas.
    What country do you live in?

    I live in the United States of America.
    What languages do you speak?
    I speak fluent English. I am working on Spanish and German.
    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes/No
    I have Google Authenticator downloaded to my iPad, iPhone, and can get on it from my laptop. I do have 2 Factor Authentication enabled.
    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc)
    Yes, I do. I will list them below.
    Minecraft F2:
    I use Minecraft f2 to capture chat related offenses to report.
    Gyazo:
    Gyazo is a software that can take photos or gifs that I use as a backup if my appdata is not working.
    Screencast-O-Matic:
    Screencast-O-Matic is a software that records videos for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time. It's really useful for recording trades for scammers.
    Why do you think you should become a moderator?
    The big question, why should I become a moderator? I love helping because it's who I am. I have been playing this server for a long time and I am always striving to be as active as I can and I will make this the only server I play if I have to. I think I should become moderator because I think I have great maturity and intelligence and all attributes that can lean toward a great moderator. Here they are below.
    Active
    I am available most of the day almost everyday. I can always be contacted in anyway.
    I am almost always available and ready to help :)
    Friendly
    I love to talk to people, people always say I can talk to a brick wall or argue with a fence post XD, but I love making friends and I love being helpful to one and other and I believe all of the World should be like this and we should all be friendly.
    Generous
    I am always trying to help the best I can. If a player needs something, or has been scammed, I try to help refund or donate to them. And it really upsets them that they have been scammed because they could be scammed out of a very valuable item. And it breaks my heart when someone does that because it could mean a lot to the player. Which is why I want to stop scamming.
    Strict
    Now, don't get me wrong... I love being goofy and I love to joke around with my friends, but when it needs to come down to it, I can be serious and strict about things, if someone is doing something repeatedly while being told to stop, I try to act serious and ask them to stop before reporting to forums.
    Knowledge
    In school, I am a A-B honor roll student, and I have knowledge about rules and commands to the server.
    Calm
    I try to be as calm as I can dealing with other players. Although other people enjoy making me/others mad, I have learned to control my emotions and not to get carried away with anger or my emotions.
    Helpful
    I am extremely helpful on the Skyblock server. Although I might not be doing it as much on public chat, I do most of my work in private messages. I try to be a good leader and set a good example on the players to help them become better and more experienced at skyblock and how to do things and use commands on Skyblock. I've been on the server for about 4 years so I know pretty much all the commands that come with the Skyblock server.
    Fast Typer
    I'm well known for my fast typing. I type about 79 words a minute for a 12 year old. People really find it fascinating and I find advantages for this critique because it could help more people out at one time.
    Multitasking
    I am also very well known for my multitasking, I help about 3 people at a time through /msg or publicly. I use the fast typing skill and this skill to get more stuff done to help more people out each and every day.
    Respectful
    I am very respectful, I show my respect to all staff at all times. I think this sets a good example for everyone on the Skyblock server and that everyone should respect are staff and not only our staff but everyone on the server.
    Responsible
    I claim everything I do wrong to be responsible. I am a very responsible person for a 12 year old. I have to do stuff around my home that I have to claim responsibility for and on top of that I think I can do what's right for the server and do more stuff on the server as moderator.
    Patience
    I am incredibly patient with everyone that I am helping and/or having to deal with. If rulebreakers and give them more than 1 chance to stop, if they don't I report. I try to be more patient with people that I'm helping because if I don't I will lose more trust than I already have built with the person I am trying to help.
    Trustworthy
    I am very trustworthy. I don't break people's promises or try not to break anyone's trust. That will just hurt my relationship that I have with the person and ruin my reputation with the server.
    How long can you be active on the server everyday?
    School - Weekdays
    (My school hours are 8:40amCT and 4:05pmCT)
    Monday - 4:30pm-9:00pm - 4 hours and 30 minutes
    Tuesday - 4:30pm-9:00pm 4 hours and 30 minutes
    Wednesday - 4:30pm-9:00pm 4 hours and 30 minutes
    Thursday - 4:30pm-9:00pm 4 hours and 30 minutes
    Friday 4:30pm-Whenever I go to bed
    Weekends
    Saturday - Whenever I wake up-Whenever I go to bed
    Sunday - Whenever I wake up-9:00pm (Maybe additional hour)
    How long have you been playing Skyblock?
    It's been so long I've lost count! I have been playing for at least 3 years because I have been on the forums for 2 years and I've been playing Skyblock way longer than I had forums.
    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & In-game)
    I have been banned in the past for this stated reason: "The Ban Hammer has been unleashed upon you!" It was a very long ban, and this was a long way back, so everything is back to normal.
    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
    Not on this server. I was a mini-admin for a server that is no longer active. These are the commands I know.
    /kick (player) (reason)
    /tempmute (player) (time) (timeform) (reason)
    /mute (player) (reason)
    /ban (player) (reason)
    /tempban (player) (time) (timeform) (reason)
    /warn (player) (reason)

    I thank you for your time reading my application, and I really hope I can get this position as moderator. Together we can make Skyblock a better server.






    Also forgot to add> I do meet the requirements to become moderator.

    Yeah;
    - Help more in chat.
    - Talk more on discord and on the forums.
    - Don't talk about your app in-game.

    Yeah, someone told me about not talking about your application in-game. I help mostly in pm's. I will most definitely talk more on discord and forums. :)

    Oh it was you. XD

    No Support. Never seen you on ever except for today. You only just reach minimum messages on forums too. If i see you more i might change my mind.

    Good luck

    Also, why is it temporary?

    I just got my new computer in on December 31, so I've been inactive for a while. If it goes well, I'll reapply.

    Just some critiques

    - Firstly, you shouldn't put "temporary" in the title. It isn't relevant. You are either applying or you are not.
    - You put quite a bit of detail regarding your location which isn't something that matters that much. You are from USA in a particular timezone, its fine.
    - You should explain your traits more as your app and explain them better. You are a first time applicant and only have 289 words to sell the community on why you should be supported. That isn't enough
    - Remove your social media and email from the application; online safety is important
    - Remove the unbiased trait; everyone has a bias but what is important as a mod is knowing how to handle that
    - Make sure you know about forum and discord moderation. The server is easy to moderate, the forums and discord on the other hand are more challenging
    - Instead of times you can be on, say how long you can spend in game every day. Example: Monday - 3 hours. Because times like that mean different things to different timezones and that gives an expectation that you will be online the full amount of time. Underestimate to be safe and let your activity shine.

    Fix these things and we will see how it goes.

    Starting off, Theo is 11, so if you’re mature enough, it’s an obtainable position.
    I really didn’t like the fact that you had Temporary in the title of your application. I’m glad to have seen that go.
    Honestly if you’ve been inactive, give yourself some time to re-adjust back into the server, rather than saying you’ve been inactive and will reapply at a later date.

    No support.
    Good luck.

    You never help and started being active just now. You also just met the requirements, if I was you I would have waited until I got 150-200 posts as it shows your activity and dedication. Good luck! :)

    No support due to reasons stated above.

    I suggest getting more active and familiarizing yourself with in-game and forums more.

    On another note, there’s an “edit” button on the very bottom of a post, so you can just edit the post instead of creating a new one.

    Well uhhh, you just met the requirements, most people wait a bit, around 150ish messages to apply. You also need to make sure you help people on the forums, post thoughtful comments, and overall be a good person. None of these have I seen you do yet. Also, I rarely see you in-game, and almost never see you bothering to help anyone.

    Fix these and I might (?) change my rating, no support.

    I've only seen you become active recently on forums and in game, and I don't really see you helping. Once you've integrated into the community/forums more etc, tag me or quote this post again and I'll be happy to re-judge.

    All the best of luck! :)

    Okay, thank you. I will try to do that.
    Yeah, some person suggested that above and I used it to try to make it better. Thank you for the feedback.
    I'm sorry you feel that way, if it helps I'll try to be more active and try not to be immature if I am.

    I have made the decision to lock this thread until June 1st, or a little later. It's about 6 months until I reapply. It should give me enough time to adjust to the server and how to get around with other players
