    Can I ask specifically which reasons? (I would like to know if there is something that an overwhelming amount of people think I should work on)

    Following the advice of some people here, I have
    1. Moved some of the "why I want to be a mod" to the qualifications, as it fits better.
    2. Expanded on my qualifications
    3. Resolved to be more active on forums and more involved in chat (I usually am?)

    That's not really much of an issue, since if I'm busy, I'll typically tell you that I am.

    However, this does raise a good point: there are several players who will PM me asking for help, rather than posting in public chat, since they know I'll answer their question / problem.

    And in general, even if I'm not talking much, working on my island, I'm usually pretty good about keeping an eye on the chat to answer questions / help people.

    Support. Just make sure to keep up with helping out online. Most people slack once they start getting support. I think you would be a great mod. Friendly and helpful.

    Good luck!!!!

    Thanks for the advice. Luckily, I've been helping people out basically since I joined. Just my personality.

    And good luck to you as well. ^_^

    (By request of the applicant.)

    Don't Blink -- It's the Weeping Angel of Reviews. @_@
    If you look away, the post vanishes.
    Looking forward to reading some applications tonight. Let's get going.
    You promised never to tell anyone I was a nerd! Also: Misspelled "alright", sir. Nice to meet you.

    Oh, a preamble! Haven't seen this in a bit. Let's take a look.

    I feel immediate sympathy for you, sir. Alaska is rough in September.

    CODA sounds like a tower defense game. I never knew there was a status for dependents of deaf adults, that's rather interesting sir. +1 for a remarkable backstory.

    I can barely convince my daughter not to eat the "free snacks" at the food store. You're interpreting entire grocery lists. I feel like I'm failing my kid now...

    •makes a bet with myself regarding your age•
    •checks user profile•

    I owe you 5 grass, sir.

    Try Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series. Doesn't matter which book, they can all be read as stand-alone stories. You'll never again see someone TALKING IN ALL CAPS and be able to avoid chuckling to yourself.

    None of those are school subjects, Matilda. Change your topic sentence to reflect something like "I love learning new and unusual skills". Or not! My opinion is worthless.

    Do you answer phones? Just curious sir, I've always wondered why the hearing disabled offices had standard style telephones--I just kind of assumed it was government bureaucracy facepalming itself into the dirt yet again.

    I'm so INFP-A the test recommended me to the Supreme Court.

    +1
    for knowing about/taking the the Indicator. Have you tried the "Four Lenses" Shipley Test? I would guess you were Orange/Gold.

    Well that was a nice application, sir. Support St-WAIT, WHAT.
    Is this one of those applications that repeats itself? Take your entire introduction and put it down here into the actual topic questions, sir. There is no reason to death-march people through a wall of exposition only to repeat the same information all over again.

    With the reading list of a man half your age! I'm kidding; I still have the entire "Percy Jackson" series in hardback.

    For my daughter.
    OUTSTANDING. +1 for answering this correctly, an unbelievable amount of people fail out here. Common answers are "Eastern", "Central", "US" and the ever-popular "TEXAS".

    WashingtonMurica.png
    +1 for 'Murica

    If they can't see what you're saying then they can't be upset. If a user is bothering you, swear away.. in ASL. #FullSupport

    This server kicks more people than my drunk uncle trying to breakdance. There is no way you have never been accidentally Ban Hammered -- but if true then you get a shiny new +1 for this sir.

    This is my favorite part. Resting my eyes a second so I can really appreciate the glory here, sir.
    Put on your cape and tights, Captain Awsum! Welcome to the Mod League. Nicely stated section, +1.

    This paragraph reads like you set a bookstore on fire and ran around grabbing the flaming pieces. There are parts of three different ideas, a combination of run-on sentences and some sort of circular dependency clauses. I read this four times and I'm still more confused than a penguin in a peacock parade.

    Rewrite this portion for clarity and stick to one concept at a time. Or don't--my opinion is pretty worthless sir.

    Does longevity translate into a better chance of being chosen? I want to say it does not, but I'm pretty new myself.

    So you're Wikipedia for SkyBlock? ... "WikiBlock"?

    Actually why hasn't someone made a Wiki for SkyBlock? That has to be a thing, one second for some research.

    WOW. There really is a SkyBlock Wiki site! It's more abandoned than an ugly pekingese puppy but the site definitely exists: SkyBlock.net Wiki

    Subtitle this section "Common Sense". Then cut it out like Jason Voorhees at Camp Crystal Lake--if you're a Moderator we already assume you will be fair and reasonable while acting. Remove or reword.

    This is an extension of the qualification above (but reworded slightly). Combine sections or remove.

    Cool story, Sunset Shimmer. If/when you attain Moderator you're going to be eating more drama than an "American Idol" milkshake.

    This section actually works against your application by saying you do not handle conflict well and prefer to stay friends with everyone (that you may end up banning). Remove or reword.

    Wait! I thought we just did the qualifications. Do you have TWO separate "Why I should be a mod" portions??

    Pretend you are Voltron and hook these sections together. Why are you splitting qualifications into separate bullet lists? Condense all of these lists, reword until they sound like a Nobel Peace Prize for Moderation and then pick your top five favorites. Keep it short.

    GeoCities would like a word with you about enthusiastic projects, sir. Stating you can help with plugins and then immediately admitting you don't know Java makes this entire portion a giant billboard of "WHAT". Remove or restate.

    Splendid.jpg
    I enjoyed the personal anecdote, but your history of babysitting your cousins doesn't seem to add any new points in your favor. Axe it like a body-spray commercial.

    McKaylaMaroney.jpg
    It's an interesting story, sir. I read the whole thing and it doesn't seem to illustrate anything new on your application. Ninja-edit and remove this like Sally Hemings from Thomas Jefferson's biography.

    That is pretty impressive. +1 for holding down two jobs, schoolwork and putting in more hours on the game than I can dream of having. Wow.

    Have you led a group discussion? Volunteered as a youth coordinator? Listened to a political debate (non-Trump)? Any experience where you handle a group of people and/or mediate disputes would probably help you here, sir. You've put a massive amount of detail into everything else, neglecting this portion is a travesty.

    BONUS POINTS for apologizing about the huge post and then adding more details. The Irony is strong with this application. +1

    -EYEBROW- Technically accurate, your PM to me on the forums isn't "in-game".

    Would you quit Moderator if you felt like your duties were compromising your personal code of ethics?

    Good to hear. Nice reading your application sir, best of luck.

    Support Status: 100% (Bronze Medal Winner: Irony Olympics)

    Man, you're good at these.

    Deaf culture as a whole is fascinating, and most people have no idea that it exists. ;)

    *adds to list*

    Our office has normal phones for the hearing people (5 of us), and Video Phones for the deaf ones (8). People who are Hard of Hearing can get amplified phones or captioned phones through us. And Deaf people can call our normal phones through a relay interpreter, if they choose to.

    I actually was a Green/Gold (Green was primary, gold was close 2nd. Then blue, followed by orange)
    +1 for supreme court. I would love to be a supreme court justice. :)

    Reworded sections, clarified that spoiler is optional.

    Psh, I got many more. I just listed my favorites of all time.

    Only time I could see this being a correct course of action is if you live in Arizona, since they are sorta PST, but they don't recognize Daylight Savings Time.

    Have been kicked for caps / messing with mods (yo mama jokes will receive a kick if done correctly lol) and spam by the console. (protip: don't copypaste /enchant effiency 5)

    In my defense, it is a rather redundant application template. At least I know how to use the template. :p

    +5 points for this comment alone. Reworded hastily.

    Moved to AFTER the rules. :p

    You are actually the reason I added "in-game" when I first made the app. >.> Wasn't sure if I'd have to PM you or not.

    Interesting question.
    If there is a rule, I will enforce it, regardless of whether or not I agree with the rule. However, if I feel a rule is unfair, I will probably talk to other mods and try to understand why the rule exists before doing anything drastic like quitting. My personal ethics are important to me, but I also realize that I'm representing the server, not myself. It would take something very, very unethical for me to quit (from a superior). (IE: if cyp told me to ban somebody just because he didn't like them - no actual reason, or if they started trying to hack players or something)

    Thank you.
    Mind if I ask how it's scattered? I definitely would not mind de-scattering it if you have suggestions.
