    Some things you all might want to know,

    I am a Vietnamese boy, 15 years old, sophomore.. I am currently taking the highest level courses that you can as a sophomore (Honors Math and Literature, College US History and College Biology). Skyblock has been a way to relieve stress in my life. The community is great and I feel at peace when I log on. Even though skyblock being a huge distraction to my homework, I tend to do better in all courses when I juggle homework with skyblock, so I guess it works. “Why play skyblock” you might ask. A few years back, I decided to ship in a few bucks to buy an account for this popular game called “Minecraft” with my cousin. I never knew that it could occupy my life so easily. It was my escape from reality. Through relationships and breakups, periods of depression and grief, Minecraft is what I turned to. About 2 years ago, I decided to try out skyblock on my own, quickly realizing that I had no friends. Well to solve this I knew there was a server out there with people that loved to play skyblock. Well, I am here now, making a Moderator Application for a server that I cherish.


    Your in-game name:

    PrettyAZNBoii

    Which timezone are you in?

    UTC - 6 Central Time Zone

    Which languages do you speak?

    I speak English and Vietnamese as main languages, I am also taking French in school. I can maintain conversations with all three languages.

    Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?)

    Yes I have, and I am proud to say that I have changed my ways. http://www.skyblock.net/threads/ban-appeal.73729/

    Also when I griefed,

    Ban Appeal PrettyAZNBoii [Wilbo] (Accepted, 4 day Tempban) | Skyblock Forums

    Why do you think you should be a mod?

    Empathy:

    This is a trait that I personally believe is important. I have been griefed, I have been banned, I have been scammed. I can share some sort of relation with everyone, helping my moderating. Moderators can seem stiff, and sometimes a little harsh. I do not want to be so robotic in my moderation. Also helps me judge unban applications with a more caring perspective.

    Enthusiasm:
    Skyblock, as stated above earlier, has been a very relaxing part of the day to come to. It makes me happy that I can be useful to people and I take joy in doing so. There is no task that is too challenging or frustrating. There is never a reason for me to be unhappy when I am trading, grinding, or helping.


    Thick skin:

    I do not get ticked easily. I am always very positive and nothing can really unnerve me. Nobody can drag me down. This will help because if people pick me apart, which I know will happen in the comments, I will just see it as a flaw to be fixed, not that I am not good enough. It’s just another challenge to be overcome. No seriously, rip this application apart, I want to perfect it.

    Approachable:

    I try to be friendly and equal in chat. I can communicate with people well. I can convey my ideas in a nice way, without looking down on others. I know how it felt being a greenie with donors looking down on me. I do not want to enforce inferiority to new members, or exert superiority on other people.

    Mature:

    I am mature compared to other male adolescents in my age group. I know when I can let loose and when to be serious. I am not all strict and programmed, but I do act at a bit higher level than most 15 year olds (contrasting to the pitch of my voice :p)

    Open-Minded:

    I take on a very wide view when it comes to reports. I like to hear the background information and why it may have happened. I like to give people a second chance after they fudge up the first time. I mean, you can not learn everything without making mistakes.

    Steadfast and Fair:

    Once I have made my decision, my decision is final. Whether it be right or wrong, I know that it is a decision that I made and I will fess up to it if it was wrong. When I am right, I stand my ground until persuaded otherwise. I also make fair decisions. Taking in all perspectives before I act upon a decision. I won’t just ban people for no reason at all.

    Patient:

    I have lots of time (too much honestly) so patience I have a lot of. I am not that pushy. Good things come in due time.

    Why I want to be mod in general:

    Let me say this, everyone loves power. I do like power too. I feel that if this position is endowed unto me, I will be more responsible for my actions. I have more of a purpose on the server more than helping people and grinding stone.


    How long can you be active on the server every day?

    Ingame:

    Monday-Thursday 2-4 Hours

    Friday-Sunday 6-7 Hours

    Forums:

    (Though I do not post often, I am on forums and participating in threads I like. I enjoy reading Moderator Applications as they inspire me to write mine.)

    Monday-Sunday 7-8 hours.


    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?

    Yes, I have on my friend’s server. We were lucky to have 5 other people playing on it. The server, unfortunately was discontinued due to money being tight.


    Thanks for reading it all the way through ;)

    My in-game name: Leviboy78
    You might not remember though.
    Neutral for now.
    You seem pretty good on all the aspects, but I can't be sure yet.
    Good Luck. :)

    This is a pretty good application for the first try. I give no support, though, since I've never seen you online or on the forums. Also, this application lacks a lot of detail. I also recommend using bold, italics, and underline.

    ~Goodluck~

    Add a bit more detail:
    I like how you put a lot of detail into the "Why do you think you should be moderator" section but I think the other parts could use a bit more detail.

    Activeness:
    I have seen you online, but I don't really see you helping out(PM?). I would also like to see you help out on the forums.

    Color:
    The color doesn't really affect your application, but something about those colors hurts my eyes. Also dont overuse your italics.

    No support for now,
    Good luck!

    Dear PrettyBoi,

    Like the others I am neutral if I can personally see you helping out that would help with support. Still thinking about it but you have a very good overall application.

    Yours sincerely,
    Liam
