First off, I want to admit that this discussion may seem redundant and pointless to some of you. I just want to make it clear that I am posting this because I feel like it should be considered and discussed. I am also aware that it could possibly be flamed by other players and I don't wish this to happen. So it would be awesome if we could all be as mature as possible and not try cutting each other's throats.

On to the discussion:

What makes a good mod?
What makes a bad mod?
What makes a good mod applicant?
What makes a bad mod applicant?
For mod applicants: What qualities do you honestly think you have that would make you a good mod?
and finally, the toughest question: What are you doing wrong?

Some of you won't answer the last question, solely convinced that there is nothing wrong with you. Don't kid yourself, everybody has flaws and weaknesses just as much as they have perfections and strengths. I would like to see how many people are willing to be completely open and honest, and answer all those questions. They may seem like easy questions, but they aren't as easy as you think. As I said earlier, I believe the last question will be the toughest to answer. For almost every human being on this planet, it's easier to accuse others of blame and faults than it is to admit to them. That's why learning to apologize as you grow up is a hard thing to do. So be honest with yourself and your thoughts, take time to think before you answer. Below are my answers:

What makes a good mod?

• Someone who is dedicated, honest, and diligent.
• Someone who can set aside their own personal feelings, and deal with offenders with an unbiased judgement.
• Someone who is actively involved.

What makes a bad mod?

• Someone who is lazy, or kisses up to people.
• Someone who fails to follow the rules themselves.
• Someone who is inactive.
• Someone who brings their personal feelings and emotions into their judgements when it comes to dealing with offenders.

What makes a good mod applicant?

• The same qualities as a mod for the most part.
• Being supportive of the server and the staff members. Here is the thing about this: If you wish to be mod, you have to be willing to work as a team with your fellow mods. If you show passive insults, or bias against the staff while applying, then you aren't ready to be a mod.

What makes a bad mod applicant?

• The same qualities as a bad mod for the most part.
• Someone who fails to be unbiased.
• Someone who flames thread and causes hate.

What qualities do I honestly think I have that would make me a good mod applicant?
First of all, I am not applying for mod, but I will still answer:

• I am dedicated to my work.
• I have experience with leading, and being in authority.
• I am Educated with leading, and being in authority.

What am I doing wrong?

• I have flamed threads in the past.
• I have caused hate and anger that proved to be detrimental in some aspects, and through those actions I influenced other players to act the same way that I had.
• I've had bias against mods, and I have attacked the staff a few times on here.
• I quit the server, meaning I am completely inactive and wouldn't be a good mod at all to begin with.

So what are your answers to these questions?

 

Sorry if this comes off as rude, but I finally agree with you on something.
What makes a good mod?

• Someone who can accept the truth and not show aggression to hate.
• Someone who can stick to their word and be truthful.
• Someone who is professional.
• Someone who can follow the rules themselves as well as enforcing them in an appropriate manner.

What makes a bad mod?

• Setting a bad example. (for example, the Hemroids/Hemorrhoids issue)
• Hypocrisy, this is a big one.
• Making up their own rules, banning players for not following them and not following their own rules.
• Kissing up to keep their position.
• Being stupidly biased, I can think of ten moderators who are.
• Setting up their own punishments and making the rules confusing for players.

What makes a good mod applicant?

• The willingness to support the server.

What makes a bad mod applicant?

• Completely denying negative feedback without any reason.
• Constantly starting drama in the community that nobody wants.

• I spend as much time as possible to have dedication to the server.
• I am a very honest person.
• Probably not important but I report lots of rule breakers.
• I'm helpful, not in an annoying manner.

What am I doing wrong?

• I can be too honest at times.
• I can be passive-aggressive towards staff at times.
• I've got one of the worst records of my past, from 2015-2016.
• I've been banned for 6+ months a few times and come back.
• I try too hard.
