    This application has no intention off my other application, I might use some of the same topics/words but I will try to stay as far away from copying it. Only parts I will be copying are my in game intro, in game name, timezone, and times I can be on, there is no other way to say it.

    My application will be shorter as my accepted one since I have not a lot to type as I just got demoted.

    Introduction
    Hello, if you would like to learn more about me before you read my application you can click here

    Your in-game name
    My current in game name is Emerald_x
    Which timezone are you in?
    EST (Eastern Standard Time)

    Which languages do you speak?
    My main speaking language is English, but I tend to speak a tad of Spanish and French from previous grades. I am currently taking German, which I have been for 4 years. I cannot write advanced sentences since we have not learned them, but I can write rather, conversational sentences and questions.

    Do you have 2FA enabled?
    I do have 2 Factor Authentication Enabled

    Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?)
    I have been banned for advertising in-game. I did not advertise as saying join this server, I believe I said the server name and that's what caused my ban. I also got banned for another offense which I forget, but I know I had 2 in game. I had a forum ban for rate abuse, and a forum ban for profile spam.

    Why do you think you should be a mod?
    We all know I may not be your favorite person at the moment, and I agree. Lately I have been having in real life issues, stress, and many other things that are effected my self-confidence and my ability to be here. I am deeply sorry for any actions I have caused anyone, or the staff.

    When I was a moderator, I really enjoyed working with players. I would love to help players with griefs, scams, chat offenses, etc. This is not a reason, but at the moment the staff list got shorter. When I got trial-moderator on December 8th, 2016. There were at least 42 staff members, now, there is half of that. Helping people is what I do. I listen to player's problems, issues, concerns, feedback, criticism, etc. I mainly showed my abilities as moderator as you can see what I have been in the past. Everything changed when I had in real life issues, that's why I had an attitude and such. I tend to try to keep it out of the server/player's issues, it's hard though.

    I feel like I can bring something to the server again. Joy, care, happiness. I just loved working with players and being on the staff team, meetings, etc. It's just how I felt for the past 8 months, and it feels weird not doing it all over. Sorry for this being short, I couldn't think of that much since I have already been moderator in the past.


    I know Skyblock.net and the People who Play on it
    I know most of the community prices and the players. It is good to know who plays on it and get to know everyone, after all you can meet a friend there. Most importantly it can help me with offenses, and I get to know who already did their second offense of a ban, or 6th on a mute. It helps the staff team and I in general knowing the players on our server and preventing isolation between one another.

    Proof
    Proof can show that a player really did an offense, and you aren't just making up a lie. Having proof is mandatory when it comes to ban appeals, reports, offenses, etc. If a player appeals and you do not have proof, you have to accept the appeal. When I was a moderator, I took a screenshot of all my proof or recorded it. For forums I either reported the comment when I needed it I can check the open reports, take a screenshot and save it in my pictures, or delete the post and undelete it. If it's rate abuse I would take a screenshot and send it to the staff that can remove the ratings. Without proof, you don't know who is telling the truth and who isn't.

    How long have you been playing
    I'm a late December 2013 player, took a year break in 2015 and I returned in 2016. It's amazing on how many changes went through the server.

    Active
    I haven't been my most active lately now, or I haven't been that active in the summer as a moderator. My computer broke down in the middle of the summer which caused inactivity, but I also wanted to try new things. I come on the server at least one a day and I will try my best to remain active.

    Fast Typer
    I am able to type 90 words per minute, it averages around 87 through 92 some of the times. It is good to be a fast typer since I will be able to answer questions fastly, and get my job done quicker.

    Unbiased
    Unbiased means I do not give a friend more advantages as other players do. That I am stating is if one of my friends griefed, I would have to ban them as I would with everyone else. I will not give my friend an easy way out just because I know them, all rules apply to everyone even if they are close to me.

    Friendly
    I enjoy having conversations with players, and just talking to my friends in general. I tend to be friendly, but when I am not in a good mood I try to stay away from the server unless I can't and things might go wrong. I try my best to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome, and do not intend to hurt anyone or their feelings.

    Helpful
    I try my best to answer everyone's questions even if I am being spammed. I answer everyone's questions or concerns in private message, that's how I do it. Helping players is the main setting for being a moderator; being a role model, someone to look up to, caring and helping for others, etc. Being helpful is a good thing as it promotes other players to help, and it gives someone the information needed. Being helpful is required to be a moderator, because how else would you be moderator if you don't help others.

    Maturity
    I tend to be immature with my friends when we are just joking around and such. When I am helping players I change modes, taking their issues seriously and not a joke. Yes, it's fine to be laid back and joke around with friends, but when it comes to moderating I will be as mature as possible. If an immature player was a moderator, they would've not have handled things correctly rather than a mature moderator who will handle things nice and smooth.

    Respectful
    I try to hear out everyone, and be as respectful as possible. I listen to both sides of the story, and try not to be rude to anyone when they are talking. Some of the things I say might come off another way, but I tend to hurt no feelings whatsoever and I try to come off as respectful as possible as I do not want anyone being hurt in something not going their way.

    Patient
    Being patient means I have to wait for player's responses or doings. Some players keep asking a question although you have answered it several times, or just need you to wait for something to happen in general, like a trade. I try my best to wait for a player to do something, and me coming to help in and do what they needs to be done, or if they just want to talk about something important the very next day.

    Honest
    Hidden Content:
    **Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by staff members**

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
    I have been moderator on a few not popular servers, where they used some of the similar commands the staff has on skyblock. I have been moderator on this server for exactly 8 months. (Promoted December 8th, 2016. Demoted August 8th, 2017)

    I might've re-applied to early since my demotion was not even 2 weeks ago.​

    If you have any concerns or questions leave them down below, I am sorry for any issues I have caused anyone.

    I do not have delete permissions or edit permissions at the moment since my permissions are messed up, if I need to make any changes I will ask staff to do so for now.

    I have not seen you online recently, when I used to before. Of course you were only recently demoted, I think it may have been best to give it some time before re-applying. Also I trust that if you say you are sorry for your actions right after your demotion, you mean it. I trust that, but I'd like to see it proven. I'll come back in a week or two to see if my status has changed. Good luck :).

    I can't support this. The way you acted this past week was unacceptable. You did a lot of things I disagreed with attitude wise. No support, good luck.

    Fair enough, you had in real life issues, as everyone has in their life. However, you need to learn to keep it out of your moderating duties. You had the whole staff team, and many friends to speak to who would listen and give advice for anything. In my opinion, I think that you need to focus on your real life issues and dropping your stress levels. It's better to make sure they're sorted before trying to jump back into moderating.
    I want to see your attitude change completely from now on after this past week. I was shocked to see you act that way and honestly it wasn't the same Emerald who I used to moderate with.

    Anyway, the application is great, and I don't see much needed to improve on it. Good luck, Emerald! :3

    Thank you for your opinion, I probably did apply to early, but hopefully I gain your trust back.

    Thank you :)

    I'll do my best to try to improve, thank you!

    My computer has been broken down a few weeks ago, and I started coming back in game recently, I will make sure to boost my activity! Thank you for your feedback.

    Thanks for your opinion, can I please get some constructive criticism/feedback so I am able to improve?

    I fully understand your opinion related to my actions, no doubt. I am sorry for any trouble I have caused you or the staff team, I fully understand. I will be improving on my attitude and how I act. Thank you :p

    I will try to keep out these issues out of my moderating. It did effect my moderating, and I am deeply sorry. I will try to improve on that, thank you!

    You where a pretty helpful mod back when I moved from org to net. I don't get why people are saying saying some negative stuff about your past. I guess that I am not active enough to notice it.
    I am going with Nuetral for now but I know you are capable to help out as a mod.
