    Thank you for viewing my my moderator application! If you prefer reading a shorter version, the italicized sentences at the end of longer paragraphs summarize my answer to the question.

    In-game name: NarcissaMalfoy27
    If my name rings a bell, I was a Hellblock super moderator until it moved to Mineverse.

    What timezone are you in? Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)/Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)

    What country do you live in? United States

    What languages do you speak? English and a moderate amount of French

    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes

    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc) I do have the necessary means of capturing evidence (gyazo, minecraft screenshots, and built in mac screen capture + screen recorder). I am also capable of properly logging bans and keeping an organized, up to date ban log that can easily be referenced at a later date.

    Why do you think you should become a moderator?
    There are multiple reasons that I think I should become a moderator. First, I have experience moderating Hellblock, a previous skyblock Noobcrew server with similar logistics, so I know what is expected of moderators both in games and on the forums. From this experience, I also know how to handle ban appeals, reports, and most issues that arise in-game. (Between Hellblock moving to Mineverse and now, I have thoroughly reflected on my time as moderator and know how I could handle certain situations better next time.) I think this extent of experience on the skyblock staff team is invaluable and will greatly benefit Net.

    Another reason I think I should become a moderator is that I took and will take my moderating job seriously. While I was a Hellblock moderator, I was known for being strict and focused on my job. I was always willing to help anyone in need; however, I was not overly friendly with players. While you could dwell on the downsides of this, I think that abstaining from major associations with players kept me free from any sort of bias that could interfere with my moderating. I think that this particular characteristic would make me an excellent Net moderator. I know that Net has a significantly larger playerbase than Hellblock, so focusing on moderating rather than conversing with players is important in that it will allow me to be a more effective moderator and help more players in need. I think that my preferred moderation style (as described above) makes me a compelling addition to the Net staff team.

    A third reason I think I should become moderator (that I feel is worth mentioning in-depth) is that I am very efficient with my duties as a moderator. I understand that players do not like to be kept waiting for a reply to a ban appeal (particularly for incorrect bans since players rightfully banned should have to be patient) and that certain types of reports, such as someone advertising in-game, are time sensitive. While I do my best to reply to issues requiring my attention in a timely manner, I do not do so at the cost of making a reasonable decision. If there is a situation that calls for further investigation or thought, I do not hesitate to take the necessary time to come to the most rational decision. I am also open to second opinions and/or input from others. I think that my ability to handle ban appeals and reports in a timely yet rational manner (as demonstrated during my time as a Hellblock moderator) will allow me to prevent players from getting frustrated with any issues they encounter both in-game and on the forums.

    There are many other reasons why I think I should become a Net moderator. In addition to the three main reasons described above, I think I should become a moderator because I am responsible + organized (briefly mentioned in context of saving evidence), dedicated, helpful (when in-game, I answer questions in chat, but maintain a balance between being helpful and allowing online staff to deal with situations that would best be handled by a moderator), and active, which I expect to be controversial and have listed last for a reason. I know that I took a long break from skyblock when Hellblock moved to Mineverse, but I am back now and extremely active in-game.

    How long can you be active on the server everyday?
    Over the summer, I am able to be active 8+ hours everyday. The hours I am able to be in-game are also very flexible, so even though I am in the Pacific timezone, I can be in-game during hours when there is a general lack of moderators and when the server is simply busy and needs more moderators online.

    Once school begins again, my hours will likely be reduced to 4 on weekdays, and I will be able to be in-game during the late afternoon, evenings, or night (still flexible depending on when a moderator is needed).

    How long have you been playing Skyblock?
    I joined the server back in 2013; however, I took an extended break from skyblock for the majority of 2015. This break was a result of Hellblock being moved to Mineverse and not having forum permissions to sufficiently moderate the Hellblock there, but I am back now and have no intentions of taking a break in the near future. I would estimate that I have been playing skyblock for 2 years subtracting the extended break time.

    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & In-game)

    I have never been banned from the forums or in-game.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
    Yes, and I have past experience as not only a moderator but as a part of this staff team when I was a Hellblock trial and eventually super moderator. I know that there have been changes made since I was a Hellblock moderator. I am ready to adjust and relearn, but I learned a lot during and reflecting on my time as a Hellblock moderator, which I believe makes me a compelling addition to the current staff team.

    Do you meet the requirements for staff? Yes, both the ones listed in the requirements thread and the unstated.

    Additional Notes:
    I know that I brought up my experience as a Hellblock super moderator throughout this application. I would like to state here that I don’t expect that to get me Net moderator; however, I think that the experience is a key part of why I am a compelling addition to the current staff team and one of the main things I can bring to the server.

    If you are interested in past applications, here they are (I haven’t been able to muster the courage to read these all the way through again):
    USA - NarcissaMalfoy27 Mod Application [Hellblock] | Skyblock Forums [Accepted Hellblock Application]
    [US] Malfoy's Moderator Application [Net] | Skyblock Forums [Previous Net application from before Hellblock moved to Mineverse and I took a break]

    Thank you for reading my moderator application! All feedback is greatly appreciated and will be taken into consideration. If you have any negative feedback/constructive criticism, I would prefer to hear it so that I can improve.

    Don't think there is a single mod that currently is a mod that is up to par with her.
    God knows you need her.

    Didn't need to read it. I know you'd be a perfect addition to the current team. No doubt.

    Read it anyway..

    I completely and fully support this. You were a great mod then and you'll most definitely be an amazing mod now. I would love to be able to moderate with you because I never had the honour back then. Good luck and I hope to see you on the team very soon.

    Though I didn't care for you much during your, and my, time on Hellblock, I later realized that you were, in fact, one of the best moderators on there, and generally were the reason why Hellblock maintained it's peace. For that, thank you. And also for that, full support. Without having to even read the application, I trust you fully, and I know you'd do a stellar job for Net.
