    Hi Penguin! I know you won't be able to respond to this, but I figured you'll still be able to work on your application while you're muted. So here's my feedback!

    For your time zone, you need to actually write what your time zone is in a proper format, because it can differ by an hour depending on your latitude and you shouldn't assume that people will know your offset. So, I believe your timezone would be CDT, -5:00. You'd probably know better than me give it's your timezone though, so feel free to Google it and check! All of the other sections excluding the experience and why you want to be a mod section are answered quite succinctly, which is fantastic because you really don't need to say any more in those sections. The way you answered the 'how long you can be on' question is great!

    On that note, you need to write a lot more in the questions you written as "Why do you think you should become a Mod?" and "Have you ever been a Moderator?". It takes a long time to explain exactly what you should be writing in those sections, so I'm going to link you to my application guide! I'd also generally encourage you to read the whole thing because I like to think that I've written a lot of handy tips there that you might appreciate.
    The Joy of Applying | Skyblock Forums

    Your formatting looks pretty good, but the second half of your application is aligned to the left, and the first half is aligned to the centre. Do control+A, and pick one or the other ;>

    As an applicant, you seem nice and sincere. Aside from seeming a little too enthusiastic to get to 50 posts, I honestly think that if I see you around and helping, both online and on the forums, you could really make a great staff member. The only thing separating a failed application from a successful is perseverance and determination!

    Good luck Penguin!

    I'm going to have to say no support.

    You basically post/thread farmed to get to the 50 post requirement, I haven't really seen you help out much on the forums, and your application is vague. You should definitely take Lycel's advice and read that application help thread! It will greatly benefit you. I may change my mind in the future once I see you take positive steps forward.

    No support, never see you helping, though I see you on sometimes

    Also get to know the server more. You seem to ask for help a lot on the forums.

    Your application is a bit messy for starting, Every once in a while I see u online tho I never see you helping. You should learn to know the skyblock community first.
    You applications looks like you spent little time on it, I also see you made an application as soon as you met the requirements.
    Overall, I think you should learn to know the community more and be more active. I meant to be helpful on wat u should do better, gl.

    -the application lacks detail, and you post farmed to meet the requirements.
    -never seen you in-game or engaging in the conversation in chat
    -you don't seem to know a lot about skyblock yet. i've seen some 'help' threads created by you.
    like lycel said, do check out this thread ^ it will help you a lot.

    i think you should play skyblock a bit more and help out in chat.
    best of luck!

    Sorry but I'm going with no support. First you need to read the forums rules (located here) considering you got warned/muted a few times for the very same thing.. post farming , though you should improve on your activity on all platforms and please add more details to your application as it really lacks any details

    Good luck!

    This is what I think you should do.
    First, you format needs work. Your headings are not spaced out well and randomly switch from centered to left align. This is how it should look for ease of reading.

    Second, We need to fix up the "why do you want to be a mod section". This section requires you to explain why you want to be staff which means you need to explain yourself. There are many ways to explain this but it is easier to tell people what you are good at and how it relates to skyblock. For instance, I want to tell others about my maturity and I need to be honest. Hence I wrote " I act younger than I am to relate better with the community I wish to moderate. I am able to be mature when the situation requires it. With this comes the ability to work with people I may dislike or not be fond of and not let bias affect my decisions. No one is completely unbiased however I feel I am mature enough to not let this affect my moderating. "

    Perhaps you think that your typing skills are much better than others. So explain how fast typing could help. If you really want to help the server, think about all the ways staff can help and state why you can do this too.
    For instance:
    I am a very fast typist who makes minimal mistakes. This ensures that I can react to players needs quickly, I will be understood due to lack of typos and in difficult situations where I do need to punish users, I can do so with accuracy and lessen the impact the person breaking the rules has in the chat.

    I also am very passionate about helping people solve issues. With a helper rank I can help others better with my permissions and would do my best to ensure I help everyone I can. I will be observant in chat etc...

    Also try and find something you can offer that you feel others cannot and explain. Even if others can offer the same thing, you have described something that sets you apart.

    The last thing to say is you need to show us you are capable by your actions. Emulate a mature moderator, go in game and help people, stick around the forums and help out. Show people what you can do. Because it isn't always an amazing mod app that can lead to success. It is the person behind the application.

    Good luck!
