    See, there are a lot of moderators on skyblock (not naming names) that haven't got a lot of play time so far, yet still got mod, and many people play much more than them. I think that this could be changed by making adding the play time shown in-game at Escape > Statistics and then around 7 items down on the list from the top. This could help sort out the people who play much more often and just have an amazing app, versus the people who play often AND have an amazing app. Please take this into consideration, thanks :heart:

    That's answered with how long you've been playing and how long you can be active for

    Never seen anyone put that in that section before, hence why I'm making this thread.
    It resets every time you switch versions of minecraft (Is being patched in 1.9) and every time you get a new computer, since you have a new ip.

    As it resets so often, I'd have to say no support. There however, is a plugin that tells you your overall playtime that could be added.

    semi-support instead of exact time, you can add in your approximate total play time.

    I'm gonna have to say no support, if you're someone like me that has to alternate between several devices a day, this wouldn't work, but, I really do think that there are a few positions that could be better filled.

    No support. Everyone can easily observe active and inactive moderators, it's just another thing that's going to be a hassle for most people.

    That you screenshot your total play time in the Statistics thingy and add it on to your application.

    Ohh I see. Thank you for clearing this up.
    As for this suggestion, I don't think it's needed. Players can easily go afk just to raise up their play time.

    This sounds completely unfair. Can you name anyone that may be playing more often and deserves a little more consideration, sir?

    On a side note: This rumor stuff is a game nine year olds play and it really annoys adults. Here, I'll show you an example, sir: "I don't want to name anyone, but a lot of people told me GOden02 is really upset he didn't get Moderator and he's planning to start threads about it."

    That kind of thing can get pretty backstabbing. I'm not saying that's what you're up to, just be careful about crossing the professional line.
    I think there may be image editing programs that can fake something like this, sir. Or I suppose you could start a single player world, edit the save file to add 2000 hours and then post a screenshot. I'm sure you can think of a couple other ways to fake something like this GOden02, I'm not exactly a genius at dirty Minecraft stuff. My apologies.

    Got it. Let's help people who play often and people who play often... with an incredible moderator application. I think you stated the complaint a little odd but we definitely understood the problem. Thank you for the suggestion, sir.

    Support Status: 100% and this entire thread reminded me of Antony in Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar". What an honorable man, indeed.

    This is quite hilarious actually, gg. As a reply to your fake-quote about me making threads for mod, thats not true, fyi. I couldn't care less tbh if I got mod, its all for the community. Anywho, I'll figure it out.

    Honestly, I wasn't trying to be bias against anyone.. If I ended up doing so in some way, I'm sorry about that.

    Sometimes mods log on for one second then log off so that when someone does /seen, it says they have been on recently. I don't know any current mods who do it, but there have been some in the past.

    Firstly most of the points that I will bring up have probably been mentioned but lets go with it.
    Making potential mods show their play time is not effective due to the resetting of it for most players. I had almost 3 months play time before mine reset.
    But play time means nothing. I could stand afk for 4 hours and it would add up.
    Its not always about how much you can play but how much you can assist. Being active is a good thing but so is being an honest, helpful and considerate member of the community.

    No support at all, sorry. Player time does not prove you can be a good mod.

    Not really a support because of all the things mentioned above, but I'm sure Cyp doesn't go around making people into mods that hardly play. I'm sure how often they are on to help others and be a part of the community is taken into consideration. And as for the comment about only needing to be a girl to become mod, that is unfair. Neither tribal or Sega are girls and they just got mod. You make it seem as though girls do not work for it, like it's just handed to them. :)
