    Suggested listening: Santana, Into The Night

    I find that people who exploit loopholes in everything tend to be pretty shallow individuals. The more time, attention and coverage they get the happier they are. What could get more attention than rulebreaking? By pleading special exceptions for everything they ignore the intent of the rules (Don't be a jerk) and focus on semantics ("No grass trade" doesn't say "coarse dirt"!). This is hilariously immature behavior, pandering to it encourages even more participation.

    Back on topic: Hello Tomtom (tom), I'd like to post some commentary on your application.

    Quite welcome, sir. You have been sending my wife and I requests for quite some time now. It seemed like the polite thing to stop by and read through this.

    Nice to meet you, Triple-T. I really want to see you at WrestleMania this year.

    Rád som ťa spoznal.

    Do you happen to know Happyguy by any chance, sir? I might be remembering incorrectly but I think he's from your general area of the world.

    That is a stunning amount of languages, Triple-T. +1 to you for being a real-life babelfish. Even if you do not get Moderator someone needs to keep you in the community just to help with ban reports from around the world.

    Can someone contact Tom about translating Skyblock ads into other languages?

    This question confuses me more than a hairdresser at a Rogaine seminar. I really need to ask someone in management what exactly "necessary means" is for "capturing evidence". Every application I have read since the format change has a different answer, is there some sort of common denominator? Are screenshots OK...?


    Pause for a moment while I put Myrmdaughter to bed and read her some stories. This is the part of the application I truly enjoy going through and I don't want to miss anything.








    ...back. Congratulations, Tom: You are an official character in my daughter's bedtime stories. She used your name for the friendly, fire-breathing dragon with magic powers and a rainbow tail(?).

    Moving on.

    Language barrier here. This is entirely my fault and not your issue, Tom-- I had to read this paragraph multiple times to understand what you were saying. I always have to be careful when writing on non-native English speakers to make sure I get the intent of a paragraph and ignore the awkward phrasing.

    I think you are writing about how open and positive you are and how that makes it easy to talk with you on issues. There was a piece on the end about always being upbeat and positive even when you're depressed(?). Good quality, +1.

    Normally I would suggest a rewrite. Your paragraph topic is a bit unclear and the examples are... odd. If you would like to send this to me on PM I can suggest some minor edits to help people like me understand what you are trying to say.

    Sidenote: You made me pause a second over "6 years of online Minecraft" -- I thought multiplayer/servers for this game came out in 2011? I may be wrong.

    That was a lot of repetition.

    I'm not sure how much of this is a language barrier issue, Tom. You have difficulty staying on topic in your writing and you tend to repeat yourself quite a lot. Normally when writing a paragraph you begin with a topic sentence, provide one or two supporting statements and then close with an example or transition.

    For example:
    Experience - I have a lot of experience with Minecraft servers(topic). Over the last six years I have played on many online servers with a wide variety of players and games(supporting). During this time I have personally seen both the good and the bad sides of the community, from troll arguments to positive conflict resolution(supporting). I believe I can share this experience with the community as a Moderator and help to resolve player complaints(closing).​

    Not the best example... but hopefully you understand the point, sir. You can add your own personal flavor or stories wherever you like. Whatever you choose to do please try to keep in mind that every sentence needs to support your topic in some way.

    #KillTheAmpersands

    Remove those &'s and put the actual word "and", Tom. These are some pretty long, run-on sentences you are throwing down. Can you put in some full stops to separate ideas?

    I have marked some of this section with strike through text, sir. For some reason you went completely off-topic in the middle of your paragraph about "quality" to discuss having fun and laughing. It was awkward for everyone involved, including the duck. Recommend you remove that portion and shorten this up a bit.

    I'll just leave this here.

    I love this paragraph and I thoroughly support my Commander-In-Chief. I have never seen a qualification in a post about "bringing people together" but you seem to be dedicated to this idea, sir. Remove those & & & &s, clear up your sentence structure a bit and this will be excellent. +1

    First, +1 for your incredibly detailed schedule Tom. That was exhaustively in-depth, in particular I found your day by day breakdown of your after school activities to be remarkably well documented.

    This is not necessary.

    A simple schedule of times will work, sir. You do not need to justify what you are up to outside of the SkyBlock server. I'll condense this for you:

    Play schedule:
    Monday - Friday: 18:00 - 22:00
    Saturday - Sunday: Most of the day starting at 0800.
    (small variations needed for school activities)​

    +1.

    Negatron on that, Optimistic Prime.

    Experience is the #1 thing that sets candidates apart. This is so important the template specifically asks if you have this quality-- you don't see any questions on the template asking about maturity or problem solving.

    Treat this question seriously and list your past experience. What did you do as a Moderator? What was your job? Were you in charge of reimbursing players, did you track down illegal/duplicated items? Give this question a clear answer and highlight your skill set.

    It is a YES/NO question, Tom. "I believe I do" is not the correct answer. Fix this please.

    Quite welcome, sir. Sorry for the length of time it took to reply; I was wrapped up in other reviews and had some issues. If you would like some rephrasing help or some pretty useless advice feel free to PM me. Best of luck on your application.

    I appreciate your support & your tough work spent on my application. I will be taking into consideration everything you have mentioned that needs improvement.

    However if you would read the "Language" section then you would clearly see that I stated the following:
    This states that I think of English as my mother tongue. I do not believe that there is a language barrier taking place. I most probably just phrased that section without putting much thought to it. Please reconsider saying that there is a language barrier. I'm kind of offended there...(please don't be angry at what I just said. I am just not happy that you feel that my English is not satisfactory)

    Thank you for your feedback and I will be in touch through PM to discuss the matter further.

    ~Tom :)

    I understand your viewpoint on my behaviour. I assure you that I am being honest with my behaviour no matter what. I tend to give people the respect they deserve. And of course, I am extremely patient when it comes to arguments. I tend to be more calm and approachable to avoid any unnecessary conflicts. Therefore I try to be more positive than negative.

    I hope you will change your mind for the better soon. :)

    ~Tom :)

    Thank you for your feedback. However unless I see evidence I can't just let it slide. I am always striving to be pleasant. And I have seen only positive approach towards my behavior.

    I think you're judging incorrectly, I may be wrong though.

    Thank you!
