    So before I start I would just like the thank the hundreds of people that said that I would be a good moderator! It encouraged me to make this and I think that this would be fun to experiment with. I have read a ton of moderator applications and understand how they should be made. So without further ado, lets get right into the application! :) Thank you

    Your In-Game name:
    CalifornIAN2016 and since I am not a donor I can't nickname myself but I would make my nickname Ian.

    What Time-Tone are you in:
    I am in Pacific-Standard-Time or in other words, PST.

    What Country Do You Live In:
    I live in the United States.

    What Languages Do You Speak:
    I speak fluent English but I can speak some Spanish, however I would probably have to use google translate for Spanish. But I mainly speak English and can speak it in a conversation.

    Do You Have 2FA enabled:
    Yes, and I understand how it works so if I needed to do something with it, I would be able to do that. I could also explain to someone how to turn it on and off.

    Do You Have The Necessary Means Of Capturing Evidence:

    Yes, I have a Macbook Air so I could use QuickTime Player to record the screen. With QuickTime Player, I can record for hours straight and set up my Youtube channel to post more than 15 minutes at a time. I also have Imovie so I could edit the film to get right to the spot that is needed for a scammer or griefer. I also know how to take screenshots so I could capture evidence that way so I could take a picture with that.

    Why Do You Think You Should Become A Mod:
    Another reason I want to become a mod is because I am always that person who has to watch a person get griefed or scammed because I can't do anything about it. After they are griefed, all I can do is give them maybe the 1 grass that I have because I usually spend it. I would rather be that person who gets to find out who griefed them or scammed them and would rather ban, kick, or do something about it. I don't like being that person who can't do anything about it and just sits there asking them who they last trusted. Or asking them who they think it was. I would rather be a person who can do the logblock command so I can always find out who griefed them or scammed them. I am always the first person to be there when someone says "HELP" and I usually have to get a friend that is a mod to help, when I would rather just help them myself. It often times bugs me and I take hours just to find someone to help me (Thats if they understand the problem). I think it would be easier to just help them myself like all the other mods do. The final reason I want to be a mod is because I usually don't see any mods on. I am on basically 24 7 and only see a mod or for maybe 4 hours a day. If I was a mod. I could help them ALL day and more people would be saying "HELP" in chat so many times. I could help them right away, get rid of the griefer or scammer, and they would have all their stuff back since I would just give them mine.

    How Long Can You Be Active On The Server Every Day:

    Summer:

    Forums: Game:
    All day every day. All day every day.



    School Days:

    Forums: Game:
    Sunday: All day Sunday: 1-2 hours
    Monday: All day Monday: 1-2 hours
    Tuesday: All day Tuesday: 1-2 hours
    Wednesday: All day Wednesday: 1-2 hours
    Thursday: All day Thursday: 1-2 hours
    Friday: All day Friday: 1-2 hours
    Saturday: All day Saturday: 1-2 hours


    How Long Have You Been Playing Skyblock:
    I have been playing Skyblock for about 4 years now. I just got my own account about 3 months ago and can now play for as long as I want but before that, I had to play on my friends account, I went over to his house everyday I was aloud and would go on Skyblock and would just sit there and play with him. We built an amazing island until I finally got my own account. I can still, today, come on skyblock and visit his account's island. I get to go back and look at all the fun times I had with him. Now that I have my own account, I can now get on whenever I want and play. So in all, I have been playing for about 4 years.

    Have You Ever
    Been Banned In The Past:
    Yes, I have been banned in the past for a specific reason. I was banned in the past for scamming someone. At the time, I was still a little immature and didn't understand the entire reason for Skyblock. I thought it would just be funny to come on and scam someone. Like I said, at the time I was immature and didn't understand what it would be like. After a couple of days, I figured out how to get unbanned and ended up getting back on. I have never scammed, griefed, or done anything wrong since then. I think that being banned has showed me how to behave in a more mature way and to not EVER do anything like that again. I realize that that was wrong and I should waste my time doing stupid things like that. I have also been banned from console bans but I wasn't doing anything wrong. I just moved houses so we don't really have wifi, therefore, our wifi is really bad so we can't move around as fast. I am getting wifi soon so that I can be on and help people faster. But I don't think that this is affecting me in anyway. Although I have been banned in game, I have never been banned in the forums.

    Do You Have Any Past Experience As A Moderator:

    Yes, my friends have donor and some of them are mods. I know SEVERAL commands that they can do and understand how to use them. I have a very good friend that is donor50 and soon to be donor100 and he has showed me all the commands that he can do. One time I mis typed something and I could see all the commands that mods get and I was like "cool!", however I forgot to see what to type to see all of the commands. I did see what type of commands that I can use and kind of figured out what they do. So therefore, I do understand and know most of the commands. I don't know how I figured out to see them but I do understand logblock really well. I know how it works its just that since I'm not a mod, I can't see what it looks like. I just have heard of it and people have explained it to me SEVERAL times.

    Do You Meet The Requirements For Staff:
    Yes. I have over 50 messages, I have 2FA enabled, I have Skype, and I have 2 weeks registered on skyblock. I have checked all of these so I am sure that they are correct.

    Personality:

    Kind:
    I would like to think that I am kind to people. When someone is doing something wrong like griefing or scamming, I wouldn't want to be that person that is like "YOU DESERVE TO BE BANNED". I would say it in a kind way. For example, I would say "I am sorry but you are going to be banned until you make an appeal in the skyblock.net forums." and I would probably send them the link to it to help them out. I would still ban them but I wouldn't be the person to hurt their feelings in any way possible.

    Caring:

    I would also like to think of myself as Caring. To me, caring is a big responsibility for being in control of someone else. I would be caring to other people and I would help them get their stolen items, lost stuff, or even just things in general like helping them fix something that they accidentally ruined or something simple like that.

    Responsible:

    Responsibilty. Responsibility is taking actions of yours for yourself. When you are a moderator (Mod), you need to be responsible for the things that you do. You are not to do something wrong and blame another person for your actions. If you were to accidentally do something to someone and they lost their stuff, you would step up and say "Sorry" and give the their stuff back. You are NOT to say "Whoops, hope you get your stuff back someday" and just leave. That would be very rude and everyone would be unhappy by then.

    Respectful:

    For a third reason of my personality, I would like to think I'm respectful. When someone is asking me not to do something I would stop. I would not keep on doing it and keep telling them "Don't worry it'll be fine". I would stop and respect them for what they are saying and doing. If it is their island, I would definitely stop but if it were my island, I would tell them that they need to respect me, in a nice way that is.

    Unbiased:

    Unbiased. I think when you are a mod you are pretty much required to me unbiased. When your friend or brother or sister is doing something illegal, rude, or not aloud, you need to step up and do what is right. You are not to say "Hey just don't do that again", you need to say "Hey please stop" and if it was something bad enough, you are to ban them, or do the right thing.
    Friendly:
    I would also like to think that I am VERY friendly to people. Like I mentioned earlier, I do lots of kind things to people to make them feel welcome, and aloud to be on this server. There isn't many things that I can do, ,since I am not a mod or a donor, but I do everything I can to make people feel welcome, and I do these things in a friendly way.

    Helpful:

    I am a very helpful person. I like to do things for people to make them feel good. I treat them as if they were family. They are not just a person that is lonely and has no one to come to for help. They are a person that is by my side any time they need me I will be there for them. I will help them anytime they need it and any time they want it.

    Mature:

    Ahh maturity. Maturity is VERY important for someone who wants to be a moderator. I am not that kind of person who is so immature that they can't help someone but I am not that person that is so mature that they can't cheer them up. I will be that person that is just mature enough to make them happy (in other words "cheer them up") and mature enough to not make the problem better. So what I am trying to say is that I am mature enough to make the problem better and cheer the person up, at the same time.

    Typing:
    Typing is one of the most important things in skyblock. You have to type all of the time to tell people what you are thinking or just to tell them something in general. My typing skill, I would say, are probably beyond my age. I can type up to 102 WPM for a sentence and 95 WPM for a paragraph. I love to type and I do it all day long. I one day hope to be one of the fastest typests in the world. I hope to reach 150 WPM when I grow up but thats another story. I can usually help more than 1 person at a time. I could communicate with about 3-4 people at a time, and I have done that before. It is easy for me since I do this quite a lot.

    Please let me know if you want me to change anything. I will be glad to hear all of the feedback! :) Thank your for your time!

    Partial support, I've only seen you in-game once or twice. I do see you helping out on the forums though, which is good. If it's possible, could you choose some more settle colors for your app? It's not very appealing to the eye.

    Thank you for all of the feedback. I will add some different colors so it is more settle to the eye. Today I will try to help out more people in skyblock. Also, I don't like to disagree with anyone but Interneting, I would just like to say that I have been on skyblock all day for the past month (Summer) but I haven't seen you on either so that might just meant that we are on different time zones. But thank you and I will definatily try to me more active and change the colors so that everone doesn't have a hard time see them! :);):p

    Sorry for making the colors too bright for you. For me it doesn't bother me so its hard to tell what colors I should choose. But I changed them to a darker color. I would really appreciate it if you would now take the time to read my application and give me a support that you think is appropriate.

    I've been quite active in-game, but it could be that you just don't speak in chat a lot. We aren't in the same timezones, so that could be part of it I suppose. Another suggestion I have is to go back and read over your app again, I think you could make some things sound better. Good luck : )

    As you wrote in the appeal you know several commands but that is far from enough. Before I support I would like to know what you know about logblock and how good you are knowing the rules. Also building on others island without permission is in my eyes irresponsible and doesn't fit how a mod is supposed to act. Have you any more reason to become a mod than you like helping people without their agreement? One more thing, you said you have discovered a command that let you see what moderators are capable of. If I was you I would try figure out what command it was and study it.

    Ok so I probably should have mention this but I started building something with them first and they usually have to go before we could finish about half of it. Then thats where I come in and help build the rest. Sorry if i wasn't clear about that but ill be sure to add that. Also yes I do have more reasons to be a mod and ill add them right now.
