Thank you Conor for the support Rating!

 

Sorry, no support. I was just on the server and I didn't see you online. Also I am usually on the server at 8pm my time, 3pm your time and I don't see you online or at least helping, even though your application states you're usually on at this time? Also, I would like to see a few more traits and more detail on the "Why do you think you should be Mod?" section.

Good luck and if you fix the issues stated above and are more active, I would have no problem supporting you.

 

Seems like you didn't see what time zone I am on and my Time table list. But thats fine I wasn't online because I was at school. During that time I on my second to last block before I go home. Plus I am very active. I play for at less 4 hours a day even during the week days now ever since I moved to .net But thanks for your feedback Also I want to just point out that GMT is 8 hours ahead of PST so 8 pm GST is 12 pm PST not 3 pm Buddy

 

SuPpOrT =P Good Luck

 

Thank you!

It's time to take another ride on the Review Train. I have a season pass for this particular attraction and I'm more excited than a cannibal at an organ bank. Reading the applications forum never fails to provide entertainment; if all the world's a stage then this is where every man (and woman!) plays many parts.

To the post!

You may have a point.​

This made me run to a mirror and check for stroke symptoms. I cannot even offer a rephrasing suggestion: My best guess is this was supposed to be a voodoo incantation to murder your English teacher. Remove or completely rewrite...?

"Make others fell comfortable on Skyblock".
+1 to you for the unintentional pun.

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Inc.

(For anyone not in this timezone: That is UTC-8.)

A lot of people fall into the trap of assuming everyone automatically understands <name of local time zone here>. 'Muricans are the worst offenders: Instead of actual time zones we tend to say things like "Mountain Time" or "Texas". British nationals like to throw out "UTC" without specifying the offset and most Australians have some flavor of AEDT on their application.

North North America! Good to see you, brother.

•glances at time zone• •looks at map• Wow. Stay warm?

ESL...? I am not making fun of you, sir: Your phrasing and word choice is odd and I'm wondering if I need to make allowances for a non-native English speaker.

I still have no idea what "necessary means of capturing evidence" is. Everyone has F2, right...? What more is required here? Is there some sort of gold standard for what proof you need to hammer fools like an angry Daniel Plainview with a bowling pin?

What in the holy name of Saint Composition am I reading?

To avoid being overly traumatizing on this review I am going to assume English is your second language. For an ESL person your application would actually be fairly average. However if you are a native English speaker then bad news: This entire paragraph was a horror show of random thoughts, pointless sentences and delirious diction.

I have no idea what you were trying to say, Mr. Inc. It seems like you have several conflicting thoughts about... making the server more enjoyable for everyone? I struggled to rewrite this to give you an example but I had to give up after three or four revisions. Please go back through this, separate your ideas and clean it up a bit.

This is pretty good. Remove anything about "I might not notice because..." -- don't list bad things about yourself in your own application. Try to emphasize positive things that would make you a good choice for promotion.

When you have a moment please add a sentence here about why this is a good thing for a Moderator. Why should staff members want to teach players how to create shops and join into item trading? How would the community benefit?

#BRB. Testing desk strength vs my skull.​

OK, I'm going to have to rewrite your paragraph a bit, Mr. Inc. Here's what I think you were going for, let me know if I am too far off the mark:

Respectful
I think being respectful is one of the most important things you can do. Instead of being rude everyone should try their best to show courtesy to others whenever they can. This can be applied to everything from someone's personal beliefs all the way to their religious preferences. Even the smallest things can matter to someone else and showing that you care can help them open up enough to share what matters most in their heart.​

Untangling that struggleknot took a level of effort I can only describe as "Obsessive". Did I even get close...?

FOCUS. Your topic is "Calm"-- stop talking about how you get upset and hide it from people. Ideally every one of your qualifications should start with something good about you and then list one or two supporting statements. Finish with how that quality would make you a good choice for Moderator.

Example:

Calm: This is one of my greatest strengths. I do not get upset even in the worst situations. I know that even the hardest problems can be solved and remaining calm is always the first step. I think this is an excellent trait for a future staff member because they must always be able to rationally handle even the most upset people.​

I feel like I rewriting your post...

Why is it important to the job you're applying for...?

This is an excellent qualification. I have never seen someone list this trait on an application before, you get the rare and coveted +2.

Now, recommendation: The word you are looking for is "Educable". You can be educated. You can learn the job. What has me excited here is your phrasing of "I will stop and make a change right away"-- you're implying you are very good at working underneath a group of more experienced people and not taking offense to correction. That is incredibly rare and the mark of an excellent candidate.

Write this better. It could be amazing.

This is rather cute, but pointless. Please rewrite this to explain why being friendly would make you a better Moderator. Being friendly to players isn't a requirement for the job but it might help in lots of different ways. It's up to you to point out the benefits of promoting a "friendly Mod".

You can ignore me completely, Mr. Inc-- These reviews are pointless and do not affect your chances of being selected. I'm feeling the need to make sure I put a disclaimer in here.

​

Did you type this with a smartphone while sitting on a toilet? Everything is spelled correctly but the word choice is sometimes bizarre. I'm starting to feel like SkyNet slept with Siri and their auto-correct baby landed in the application forum.

Please correct your qualification to say "Unbiased" and fix a couple of your word choices. "Trough" and "one at less" are hilarious but probably not what you meant to put.

Good play hours, +1 to you sir.

Please shorten this to "Yes, once for an accident with an auction". Don't go into a huge explanation about your past problems, it poisons your readers a bit.

#WastedChances​

Did you ever run a debate team? Were you the captain of the soccer club? How about group leader for a class project? Do you babysit for your entire church?

You can list real-world experience here, it doesn't have to be Minecraft-only. If you have ever taken care of a large group of people OR held a position that handled a lot of complaints you should list it.

Experience is the #1 thing that gets people hired-- please put something here to improve your chances.


Wrapping up:
Well that was rather interesting to read, Mr. Inc. I am still not sure if English is your primary language-- if it turns out this is your second language then I am very impressed! Excellent job. Either way please clean up your application, double-check your word choice and provide a little more on your qualifications.

Support Status: Mostly OK.
(Can't hurt to try.)​

 

Thank you so much for the review and correcting some parts of the app Well to be honest English isn't my first language. When I was born my family used their origin language most of the time. But by the time I started school I sometimes had some trouble with the language. Then I was put in a French immersion school and I've been learning French for 8 years. But right now I am getting much more better since last year's November. I knew that I needed some work there so I took a break on skyblock just for that. Thanks again!

 

Support, Good Luck Ethan

 

Support - I just want to see you help out a bit more.

Good luck :]

 

Thank you Squig!

Thank you too Dough, I will make sure to keep an extra eye out to see if anyone needs help.

 

Support if I didn't! Gl Bby!

 

Thank you Bert!

 

I am pretty sure it's the right time to bump this since it's 3 spots away from page 2 so bump

 

Support. I see you helping in chat and you're active. Good luck

 

Thank you Conor!

 

Thanks for your feedback, I am usally always online after when I come back from school intill 8 pm or so. But at the start of this month, I am kind of losing interest and I was planning to quit due to having less/no tasks or anything to do in-game. But I will try to find something to do to keep me active though!

 

I know you're really capable but you should work on your activity in game. Support however.

 

Literally everything you've written in the two paragraphs on why you should be a mod are things that you don't need moderator perms to do. You can and should be doing these things already. In your moderator application, you should be talking about your specific qualities that make you a good addition to the team: these are things that you are capable of doing, and don't yet due to your lack of perms. For example, the ability to stay level headed when people get mad, assertiveness in decision making, a reasonable nature and ability to admit defeat--those sorts of things. Your whole 'why' section is a little general, so try adding skills that specifically apply to you. Also, I think the word you're looking for is "unbiased", not non-biased.
Your grammar and spelling aren't perfect but they're good enough and perfectly legible. Your formatting is pleasing to the eyes, not much improvement needed there. You're a little over-detailed in your ban history: we didn't really come here for your life story. Paraphrase, shorten, and make a concise explanation of what you were banned for/why.
I think you could find something to put in "moderator experience" - ever been asked to watch over, teach or mentor some people? Have you been a member of a school or community council, been in community groups, or some sort of manager? These all count as experience for being a moderator. Just saying you have no experience doesn't paint you in the best light.
I haven't seen you online or on the forums very much, so work on that.
Alright! There might be move here or there, but that's all I have the time to say for the moment.

The true question is: why on earth did Tyler necropost this otherwise dead application? Surely if the applicant wanted it to come to light once more they could have bumped it themselves
Either way, good luck. Not supporting nor "no support"ing, but you could be something if you were more active.

 

Thank you for your feed back. As stated above English isn't my first language. I am ok with speaking but I just don't enjoy writing the language. But due to lack of interest I havent been on for a while. I will try to turn things around when summer break starts.
