★Hey everyone, I'm xWolfite, I'm 15 From England I'm applying to become a moderator because I believe I can help make the server a better place. I originally joined in September 2013 and joined the forums August 5th 2013. a lot of you will believe I am not mod material because you haven't seen what I'm capable of. I understand your Point of view. But don't hold that against me. ★ ♦ My Timezone ♦ Since I'm in England my timezone is normally UTC but I prefer GMT (Greenwich Mean time) But as for a straight forward answer it is GMT+0. ♦ My Language ♦ English; English is my main language in which I can speak fluently. French; I have learnt this language for 2 years and am an upper intermediate in speaking and understanding. However I still struggle at some phrases and sentences in the language Spanish. A language in which I was taught for only a few months but did not continue further in my school life and decided to learn french in the meantime. ♦ Have I ever been banned ♦ Nope. ♦ What country do I (currently) live in ♦ United Kingdom. ♦ How long have I been playing skyblock for? ♦ Approximately; 40 months give or take ♦ Do I have 2 Factor Authentication enabled ? ♦ Yes. ♦ Do I have the means to capture evidence? ♦ Yes, to be more precise the means in which I use to capture evidence is; Lightshot, Gyazo, Ezvid, Bandicam, CamStudio, Open Broadcaster software. Each of them are easily accessible. ♦ Why I think I should be a moderator. ♦ ★Dedicated.★ I’m dedicated to help anyone on the skyblock community with a question, I'll be there to help them using whatever resources I have to offer, I will always prioritize people beyond my own comprehension. When your a moderator, you have to be devoted to do it. Because if your not dedicated then you wont really be helping players and doing the tasks of a moderator. ★Helpful.★ I love helping others it makes me feel good knowing that others are happy and not miserable. Being helpful is one of the key roles of a mod as people will be asking for help quite frequently and without mods that are helpful the skyblock community will decrease as people will have no idea what to do and eventually leave. ★Mature.★ Once in there life, people act without thought and often do crazy things that sometimes seem immature and wrong. Most of the moderators have to be mature and not seem crazy when answering questions, I do not mean to say that all moderators are crazy or immature, but if the community were to get a wrong idea of the staff and think they are foolish and not doing there jobs correctly that would give them a general idea that Cypriot is promoting without thought. Which he is not. ★Proactive★ I am very observant, I mean to say that I am good in scanning the chat for people who need help. I will be able to find the problem to make sure they don't spam for help. and I will always try and multitask the problems even if they pile the requests up on me, I will manage to make certain the task is done as of the job of a moderator is to help people. If they aren't observant then they will not be able to see the messages that the players are saying. ★Unbiased★ I am not biased to people with ranks, or someone with a green name, I will try to help people who ask in the main global chat or help people /messaging me. I will reply and help them with their questions or thing on their island. ★Affable★ Most mods I've known when I was new to the server looked just so powerful and authoritative, that it was hard for me to even ask for help when I needed help I did not want to upset any of them. I try not to ever make someone fearful of me as that is not what people should think of a moderator. I think this is a very important aspect of being a moderator because of the many Newcomers, and others; potentially having a hard time talking to people, specifically the moderators. ★Diligent★ Sometimes being a moderator isn't about doing the job how you feel, whenever you feel like it. It is also about taking care in your job as a valued member on the staff team, it is your job to guide the people who play skyblock and help in any way possible, I will take pride and care in my work and make sure that everyone has an enjoyable time on the server. ♦ How long can I be active? ♦ Monday 16:00 - 22:00 Tuesday 15:30 - 23:00 Wednesday 15:00 - 22:00 Thursday 16:00 - 22:00 Friday 16:00 - 24:00+ Saturday 1:00+ - 24:00+ Sunday 1:00+ - 22:00 I have had some time in a small server (Roughly around 10-15 Players at best and max players was 50.) My rank was Co-Owner and I was the mini game designer for the server. ♦ Do I meet the requirements of staff? ♦ Yes I meet the requirements of staff, 50 Post Count Two Factor Authentication - 2 Weeks registered on the Skyblock forums Moderators are required to have Skype or Team speak for offline communication. I Have both Skype, and Team speak ★Thanks for viewing★ I hope you all have had a wonderful time reading my application.
Do note, by the time any of you will read this I will be offline. Most likely due to sleep and since its past 24:00 for me, However I will still keep a way of communication to the Forums to reply to comments for 1/2 an hour or so.
75% Support -Nice application. -Has at least some experience with moderating. -Try and help out a little more.
Understood, as I stated in the statement above and in the ending of my application; "" "" Thank you for the support. I will try to apprehend your views over me and become better to obtain your remaining 25%. Have a good day.
Well everyone, I apologize for not being able to stay on for longer. But school and learning comes first. I will answer all of the comments in, either the morning or in 14 hours from now. or at 3:00 PM (EST) I also apologize for making unnecessary comments.
-Your application looks pretty good. -I believe I've seen you online before. -Don't worry about posting every time you aren't able to get on. One thing a lot of people in this community know is that school comes before Skyblock for most people. If you will be in-active for more than two days, you might want to let us know, but one day isn't too much to worry about. Overall, I think I would like to see you in-game more. So for now, 65% Support.
♦ Where was I born? ♦ A little bit of unnecessary info but I was born in Dubai. remove it's not needed. - In ♦ Why I think I should be a moderator. ♦ you just put trails, not why you should. anyways, no support
Suggested listening: Plain White Ts - Delilah "Fail Open" (FO) is an interesting concept that means when in doubt, let [something] happen. The flip side is "Fail Closed" (FC) which means to deny everything unless specifically allowed. This idea applies to everything from laws to personality types; for example I am an "FC" kind of person because I dislike having things out of my control. FO types are more live-and-let-live types, they tend to bring groups of people together. Today I shall FC this application. This has nothing to do with your application. I just need a drink. Nice to meet your insecurities, Mr. Fite. Remove anything about people thinking you're not "Mod material". Social pressure forces most people to go along with a majority opinion (the word for this is "conformity"). A semi-famous experiment proved most people will go along with a bad decision if they think everyone else already agrees (link: Asch Experiment). You are telling your readers that everyone already thinks you're not good enough for the job. Why should I fight the majority!? •clicks No Support• First: +1 for correctly stating your timezone, sir. Unbelievable amounts of people fail right here. Second: I like your "beat around the bush" style of writing. Very British. Did you write this while standing in a queue..? READ THAT SENTENCE OUT LOUD. Please correct. Thank you. +1 for being multilingual. I honestly admire this ability in other people because I struggle just to order from a Taco Bell menu. Trying to learn a language other than English wrecks me harder than Paul Walker. Wait, what? LEARNT? Why are you listing languages you do not know?? If this is a valid qualification then you may as well crack open Wikipedia - Languages and start copy/pasting like a scared college student the night before finals. This is not a qualification, drop these languages please. Not even banhammered once by accident...? You live a squeaky clean life, Mr. Fite. I have been autobanned twice just for logging onto the server and sneezing, it is almost a rite of passage around here. •mild confusion• •checks application template• -1 for not following the template. (link here) +1 for the irony of "A little bit unnecessary" on a question no-one asked. Genuinely amused, sir. Remove this. 36 hours, David? Really? That's three years for the normal people in the room. You're like a CSI technician, but with pixels! • PAUSE FOR NEW DRINK • Don't want to miss any of this, it is my favo(u)rite part... • UNPAUSE • Prioritizing people beyond your own comprehension sounds terrifying. Are you expecting to provide tech support to Cthulhu? Please rephrase this slightly. Your confusing your contractions your using in your sentence. Please fix this before your Language Arts teacher dies of a broken heart. +1 for providing a good reason being "Dedicated" matters as a Moderator. Nicely done. +1, excellent job. Listed a quality and explained why it matters to this position. Nice! I choked to death laughing over "most of the Moderators have to be mature/not crazy". Hilarious Freudian phrasing, nicely done. Please correct this if you did not intent to imply some of the current staff members are completely insane. You probably meant to use "proactive" here (or possibly "ombudsman"). I'm not sure what your intent is with this qualification so I cannot suggest an improvement. Please re-phrase. Remove this, Mr. Fite. This entire qualification goes without saying and is unnecessary. MASSIVE +2 FOR NOT SAYING "GREENIE". Accidentally or not you avoided a huge bigotry blind spot on the Skyblock community. Nicely played. You may have meant "approachable" but honestly I tend to like your use of "affable" in this context. Mildly impressed. +1 for a good quality (ignoring the strange subtext...) "Diligent" has one 'L', sir. Please correct and run a spellcheck on your application. Your play hours seem good, slightly concerned that you seem to have no other after-school activities. First: Remove that giant list of commands. Not necessary, sir. Second: What was your job! Experience is the #1 thing that gets someone hired and it is wonderful you have some. What were you doing?! Were you in charge of minigames? Refunding lost items? Building new statues of the owners? Telemarketing? Please give us an idea of what you are good at and where your experience is! Drake doesn't put "music" on his resume-- that man lists his credentials, yo. You're welcome. Also: Remove anything about how you won't have time for the job you are applying for. :L Best of luck with your application, sir. Support Status: 100% (Best thread I have read in the last 171 hours.)
Thanks. okay I'll try to call you out if I so happen to see you online Alright, is there anything I can improve on. I Have tweaked my application just now cleaning it up. I thank you for your review Myrmidous. I appreciate your support and I have changed my application and fixed some errors.
Support, By your application I can tell you will e a good part of the staff team. I will not judge by your activity in-game as of I am not that active. Work on your activity on forums tho. Good Luck! ~Rolly
