Ok, I can see where a bit on confusion slipped in. It did seem I deleted my other application because of the no supports. I did not . I deleted it only so I could rewrite one without copied information.
Why didn't you just paste over it?
I wanted to make sure it looked professional without having any aspects from my old application.

I honestly did not delete my other application out of no supports (not saying this to persuade you or to invite debate).

Furthermore, help. I have helped many people and even when I was "away' I had numerous people come to me for help on the forums. Like I said in my application I cannot prove this you can only believe me.
Also, "just coming back from a week ago" isn't something that effects quality, experience, leadership or help. I have helped hundreds of people on this server and most while I was a moderator. I have loads of experiance on this server and have all of my past knowledge.

Either way I appreciate the response and will take into account what you guys have said and I'll attempt to help out more around the forums! Hopefully this will help!

My bad, I figured the negative connotations were meant to show your lack of support.

Also, I get where you are coming from I'll be on more. Also, I won't "go inactive again" because I know what's going on in my life and that I won't because everything is going well.

Either way I'll change to fit your needs!

Introduction:

If you don’t know me my name is Ben (my in-game name is Pyknic_2). First, I would like to start by welcoming any new members to the forums/skyblock server as for it should be noted how great and welcoming this community is! This is my second time applying for the moderator status (The first time I was accepted and was a moderator for two months before resigning because of school). Yet again, I ran into the same problem I had last time when writing a moderator application. I honestly hate to brag about achievements or, for a lack of better terms, “toot my own horn” which is why these moderator applications can be difficult for me to write. Anyway, I am a mature 16 years old and I have an A- average in school currently. I have been playing on this server for around two years and have had my forum account for almost a year. I know my way around the server and have loads of experience in the field of Minecraft.

As always, I sincerely appreciate you taking your time to read my application and leaving me feedback, whereas it means a lot to me! On to the juicy parts of the application!

Great to know more about you, Pyknic_2

Why do you think you should become a mod?

Based on my prior knowledge of moderators and my own personal experience moderators have a few of the following qualities, all of which I believe I have:

Leadership – Leadership is something that has been a real life goal and an in-game goal for me as long as I can remember. Good moderators are always someone you can turn too. Correspondingly, I mentioned in my old application I like to ask myself a few questions about leadership, and I still do. Where have I been a leader? How can I be a leader in Minecraft? What does it mean to be a leader? These are questions I ask myself daily in order to get good grips on what I need to work on for the next day. Likewise leadership is something that can fade away in important times. For me it never does. I seem to become a stronger person when a leadership role is needed.

Gentleness – It might seem like a weird or odd characteristic for a moderator to have until you think of the reasons why it could be extremely important. Gentleness I believe is my best quality. Some people get very aggravated when something or someone doesn’t listen to them. On the contrary I want to help, and I like to help, so when someone disagrees or doesn’t listen I guide them helping them get to where they need to be. If a moderator was always angry at a non-donor or always someone who doesn’t help because of a bias thought nothing would ever get done. This is why gentleness is an incredibly strong and important quality for me to have, and in my mind, one of my best.

Experience – As much as I hate to brag about myself, it is something that needs to be done for the reader to be informed. I have years of experience under my belt when it comes to moderation and owning a server. I have owned a server for two years and learned essential qualities for a leader and moderator in Minecraft. This is something I am very proud of as for it gives me a very strong foot when talking about in-game or server problems. Moderators can’t be moderators if they are leaning alongside an average player. I have done my learning and gained new knowledge I am ready to share to the community.

Decision Making Skills – Being able to make quick witted and smart decisions is a respectable feature for any moderator. I have experience around this community and know how to make decisions based on the crowd. Not only this but my past moderator experience has helped me carry out these decisions and act on them when needed. This can be hard to do on the spot but my experience has lead me to a point where any decision can be tackled whenever needed.

Trustworthy – Moderators need to have strong connections with their community as for they are incredibly influential to the people around them. This is why I have taking it upon myself to understand what is needed to have strong, trustworthy relationships with the players around me. Many new and experienced players approach me for help, which constitutes the true nature of trustworthiness. If they were afraid to talk to me or believed I didn’t know what I was talking about they wouldn’t approach me in a trustworthy manner.

Conclusion – It is amazing being able to help players and spread the knowledge I have learned over my years of playing minecraft. All of these qualities I believe I have and possibly even more I have yet to discover. I don’t want to advertise myself as this “all-knowing” person, because I am not. I have knowledge to gain and new features to learn, I just feel like these qualities paired with my prior server knowledge is something that can be very beneficial when moderating.

TL;DR – The core qualities of a moderator I believe I have include, Leadership, Gentleness, Experience, Decision Making Skills, and finally, Trustworthiness. These characteristics are vital for any moderator something I learned during my two month period as a moderator on this server.
