    Why do you think you should become a mod?

    First of all, I would like to say that I love this server, I’ve played on it for about 2 years now. It has became my #1 server :D.

    Mature: Over the course of my life, I have matured quite a bit. Recently, I learned to have a bit more apathy and be tough. I believe that it is important to have a mature moderator, and I indeed fit this slot. Don’t get me wrong, I like to have fun sometimes, but I am mature and am willing to conduct my job properly.

    Welcoming: Lately, I have came off as welcoming. People aren’t afraid to be upfront with me; They know that they can be. I am open to hearing opinions, and have learned to take criticism. Feel free to judge me on this application as well.

    Honesty: What is the use in a moderator who can’t be honest. I am not afraid to be open and honest with people. If I have a formed opinion about someone, I let them know. If I’m asked if I did something, I will answer truthfully.

    Agreeableness: the degree to which a person is able to get along with others by being good-natured, likable, cooperative, forgiving, understanding, and trusting. I have a considerably good level of agreeableness. But, that doesn’t keep me from being myself and being assertive. I listen in to the opinion of others, and consider their views. Once I’ve decided, I will conduct myself according to what I feel is right.

    Introverted: Studies have recently shown that introverted personalities are great for positions of authority. I tend to look at myself, and consider how I can improve myself as a means to improve the server. If something goes wrong, I look at myself first. I ask myself “What could I have done differently?” and “Why did things go wrong?”

    Speed/Timing: The speed in which problems are solved are highly important. First of all, I am a fast typer. Someone had asked me what would be so different just reporting as a non-mod, well the answer to that is time. I have been on when other mods haven’t been and, if I am on as a mod, I will be able to resolve the problem quicker. I will not always have the need to wait for someone to see my report in forums. The quicker problems are resolved, the better.

    Commitment: Something needs done? I do it. I don’t just quit on it. If I give up, then I would be failing my job. Simply put, if I start something, I finish it.

    Morality: I believe that I should be a light to others. If someone is in need, I see it as my responsibility to help that person in any way I can. I was asked why I want to be mod. IS it for popularity? IS it for power? Why do I want to be mod? The answer is, to be a help to others. It’s all out of morality. With me as mod, you would have another mod to help your server, and another mod to help others in need.

    Type A Personality: Type A Behaviors exhibit the following: extreme competitiveness, impatience, aggressiveness, and devotion to work. However, I have overcome my impatience and aggressiveness.

    · Competitiveness: I like to do my best, and I aim to do the best. I would consider my fellow moderators as fellow coworkers, and the mods above me as my superiors. However my competitiveness does not mean I look down on others. I would also consider them to be my competitors, and we are seeing who can be the best. If I lose, I accept a loss, and I learn from it. If I win, I don’t brag or show off, I simply take my success and see how I can do better at it, and compete against that to do even better.

    · Patience: As I said, I have overcome my issue with impatience, and have learned different techniques to calm down and have patience. I am willing to wait if needed.

    · Calm and collected: I have also overcome my aggressiveness too. I have learned that if one is calm and collected, they can think better and make greater achievements. If something upsets me, I step back and observe the situation. I do what is necessary to keep calm, and consider what I can do to avoid conflict.

    · Devotion to work: This is actually very similar to competitiveness, and to diligence as mentioned above. I am very devoted to what I do. I make sure to be detailed in what I do, and get things accomplished in the best way possible.

    How long can you be active on the server everyday?

    I can be active on the server for up to 4 hours straight at a time, but as far as the total amount, that depends on the day and if I have life situations going on. Here is the best schedule I could make up:

    (this is in pacific time zone)

    Sunday: 8pm-12am

    Monday: 5pm-10pm

    Tuesday: 8am-3pm

    Wednesday: No set hours, It may vary.

    Thursday: 8am-3pm

    Friday: 8pm-12pm

    Saturday: 8pm-12am (And there is a high chance of me being on much longer than that)

    Note: the hours I am available will vary, but I mentioned above my typical hours at the assumption that nothing else will conflict.

    How long have you been playing Skyblock?

    I have been playing on Skyblock for 2 years.



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

    I was banned in-game for nick abusing, I had changed my nick to DanTDM

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?

    At the moment, I have had 1 week experience as a discord server owner.

    Do you meet the requirements for staff? Yes/No


    Yes

    No support. You constantly harass Nyxa in-game and start arguments.

    I'll go ahead and say partial support (75%) :). You are very active on forums, but I would like to see you helping out a little bit more in-game. Just try to be a tad more active and helpful in-game, and maybe try adding some colour to the application?
    Good luck :)

    thanks. I also think that working on some apathy regarding some people's opinion has also helped.
    thank you for the input.
