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 ) 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 ~PrettyAZNBoii
Were you the one that stole my stuff? 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~ ~Wolverine~
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! -Layla
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
