    Neutral support. Add more information and detail, color, and reasoning and your app will be great for sure.

    You should probably add more. For now 60% Support. I see you on the server a lot and you would be a pretty cool mod.

    Updated. Because a couple people broached the subject in a way that didn't come across as confrontational.

    I like how your application gets to the point, very precised and well-written. However, I don't recall seeing you help in-game. I'd like to see improvement on that. I will stay neutral for now. Good luck, bud. :]

    I typically help in /msg. And when everyone else is piling on someone who is trying to trade dirt or buckets, me jumping in just starts to make it spam.
    Thanks for the comment. :)

    Is bumping against the rules?
    I hope not.
    This is kinda getting lost.

    Agreed. Why didn't I just rate agree? I have a little more to say, but since of my horrid memory, I forgot. I'll edit this later.

    I was not aware so many people wanted to read a novel. I figured the point of the application questions was to answer the questions sufficiently.
    Apparently, according to a number of people, being succinct is not a preferred trait. Being able to make the point and move on; not something we want in moderators I guess.
    So, I suppose I'll find some time to redo this sometime this weekend.
    We'll call it "Page-Stretch-a-Thon"

    You only get one call, Hammy :D

    I am reading this application and replying in between dancing with Myrmdaughter and singing the most annoying children's songs known to mankind. At decibels only North Korea can fully appreciate.

    Sooner or later we will get the downstairs neighbors to move out.

    Let's get this started, good luck to everyone within earshot.
    Nice to meet you, sir. Why am I suddenly thinking of Undertale...?

    Do you own the mountain, Bear Grylls? That isn't a time zone, sir. Did you mean to say "Mountain Standard Time [UTC-6]"...?

    That is an excellent career move. Donald Trump is going to need a lot of people to guard that wall, you could make a heck of a salary when he gets elected.

    Knowing only one language isn't a mark against you sir. Most of the players speak it in one form or another, even if we struggle a bit understanding the txtn.

    +1, that is seriously impressive. The server randomly bans people more often than Tinder swipes left on goths-- avoiding the Banhammer is a genuine feat of clean playing. Nicely done sir.

    Hold on, doing the Hokey Pokey with daughter. The neighbors are raging harder than racist NASCAR fan at the BET awards.




    OK, back. That's what it's all about! Continue.

    Would you like some aloe for that sick burn?

    Now that is an interesting way to describe the team you are trying to join. So you are applying to be on a staff of people who are terrible Mods, abuse powers (maliciously!) and grandstand for popularity? People tend to remember when you say things like this about their friends/coworkers.

    More than likely you didn't intend to call the current team something worse than self-cleaning Holocaust ovens. But you may need a slight rewrite here to downplay your angry opinion of the people hired by the guy approving your application. Or not-- You're 100% within your rights to tell me to shut up, Serif.

    Snorted so hard I burst a blood vessel in my nose. This thing is gushing like a tween girl meeting Justin Bieber. Back in a minute.




    Sorry about that. When you have a moment please reconsider writing about how a reprimand can be positive. Punishments are a negative consequence of bad behavior, saying you enjoyed the reprimands is inviting a joke I can't make on a family friendly forum. At the very least you are suggesting you have a lot of run-ins with Moderators punishing you for rule breaking. Please reword slightly.

    PunchOut.jpg
    Knocked out like Manny Pacquiao.

    You're tossing more shots than a college fraternity. If I'm reading this correctly then you are applying to join a team of terrible, power-abusing attention seekers where the good members have already left?

    There's an idea known as Negging where you make yourself look appealing by insulting the person (or group) you're trying to join. I'm not sure if you're doing this intentionally, but please consider rephrasing this entire section to avoid sounding like Donald Trump at a debate.

    ...aren't we trying to keep that last group of people? #NoFun4U

    You've had a breadth of experience, excellent. There's a question for that on the template-- it is a little farther down. Consider moving this section to the "Do you have experience?" question, or give this part a slight edit to detail how the way you (Serif) handling different personalities would benefit the server.

    For example: "I would make a good Moderator because I can handle abusive players without reacting negatively. I can comfort depressed individuals, calm down irritated people and find ways to make any event a fun experience for everyone." This highlights how you deal with others without leading into where you honed that set of skills.

    Too many commas. I thought for a moment you actively provide help in chat by stepping into an island while bantering with who you're about to have a good time. I think I may have just given myself an aneurysm.

    Rewrite for clarity, please. I'm not sure where the victim is but something was definitely murdered here.

    Are you negging yourself now, Miley Cyrus? Why would you call out an unattractive trait in your own job application, sir? I'm genuinely confused. Are you attempting some sort of reverse psychology humblebragging, as in "Whew! I sure am going to get in trouble acting like a great Moderator!"

    Look, I'm probably reading into this too much. However, I would like to point out I don't know you-- if any of your application sounds weird then I comment on it. I don't have some sort of Illuminati agenda to nuke this post. Pretty much the exact opposite: If you would like help rewording anything send me a PM. I can't promise instant replies, but I'll get there eventually sir.

    Fair enough, +1.

    Congratulations! You'll be taking the 1am - 3am shift.

    Please provide some idea of when you will be available for those two hours. Are you a morning person? Afternoon type? Insomniac...?

    Additionally I felt like I was reading one of those logic puzzles they give to Mensa members:
    Serif is available for a position for only 2 hours per day. He works 3 days a week and has 4 days off, but cannot be available Monday and Tuesday. What is his most likely part time job? (Explain reasoning).

    Clarify this section, please?

    This is how you highlight work experience in an application. Massive amounts of +1 here, excellently done sir. Drop the slang (pleebs, opps, etc) and angry call-outs to the Poke-Masters and this is dead perfect.

    Did you just neg the question template?? Dear God, I'm laughing like a ticklish man locked in a box full of puppies.

    Add some more detail please.
    You are very capable of being a mod...but you need to prove it ;)
    You are active sometimes, but could be longer...
    Just tone down a little bit on boldness.
    Good Luck xxx

    Application is updated. Not the page stretcher that I promised, but I've never been able to be anything but concise unless I am writing a story.... So, to those who complain that it 'isn't long enough', I am not here to write a book. I'm here to apply for Moderator. Answering the questions clearly should be sufficient.
