    Neutral, while you’re my friend and I did like you as a staff member, it’s definitely too early. You’re just back after being banned & I think it’s essential to re familiarize yourself to not only make sure you’re familiar but make sure that you want to be staff with how it is today.

    Thank you for your response trin :)

    I am very happy to see your feedback, and while most of the comments are reliatvely the same that only speaks volume to me. I am dedicated to being able to give it time and familiarize myself with the people and the server each and every single day. I always strive to become a better person and I thank you for stating this to me as it's something I will have to re-experience overtime.

    I can't give any feedback at this point of time (I haven't seen you online) so I'm going to go neutral. I honestly did not know you were banned and I was curious as to why it had been so long.

    Anyways, Emerald got demoted, good luck :)

    Thank you for your reply PC. In the past week I have been back, I can assure you I have been on a majority of each day and typing in chat. However, I know that isn't a long time and I would really like to see you in game and get to know you more :) I have also been improving on my Discord activity, and I am working on taking a look at this feedback each day and still making improvements :)

    Thank you for responding flaming!

    While I am not able to guess on which reasons you are talking about, I will be assuming you are talking about me returning so soon and having activity all around. If those were the reasons, I am working on that every day and making sure I am online on every platform at least more than once every single day. If there is anything else you would like to add to your comment or give a suggestion to me, I will be accepting :)

    Hi Emerald.

    I'm going to go with neutral at the minute, simply for the reason that I haven't seen enough of you lately in order to base a valid judgement.

    I enjoyed my time moderating with you way back in 2016 and 2017, however it is obvious that you made mistakes back then, and it's good to see you acknowledging them and making an active effort to move on and demonstrate your maturity from then. Therefore, I think it is only fair to base my opinion on a clean slate.

    I myself haven't been very active as of late (due to stressful and personal reasons in case anybody is wondering), however, in the last couple of days I have popped on for a little while and seen you online but haven't witnessed you helping out in chat all that much. Of course, this could change the more I see you online. Furthermore, I have only seen your name in the discord once or twice since you have returned, so it would be nice to see you being around a little more, which I understand you are working on.

    This has also been said but I want to see you familiarise yourself with the community and the overall base knowledge of the server again, as it has been a long while and many things have changed since you last actively played.

    In the future, I want to see you demonstrate the above, plus demonstrate your maturity, consistency, and a genuine desire to help out the community.

    Good luck : )

    Hey Boss!

    It is great to hear a staff member reply to my application as I take all feedback into consideration. I am able to say that these past 2-3 days I have been online in game but have not been actually in game as I have been doing some things in the background. However, I will continue to fix my activity and make sure I get offline when I know I won't be active for a while. I make sure to help all needed questions in the chat, and trying to rediscover myself in the community. I will be getting more active on the Discord again, I have been trying to and I will make sure that is something I am able to improve on. I had a great time moderating with you in the past also, however, things are different now and I tend on sending a message of the improvements that I have made.

    Hearing feedback from a staff member is extremely helpful as I take very close consideration in those opinions from a staff member. I will make sure my activity in the chats improve, especially in the help channels as I have not posted too much in those yet. As I said in previous comments, I am still learning tiny pieces of information about the server each day, and I continue to do that until I am capable of having the knowledge as I previously did, or even more so.

    You gave your account to one of the most toxic people Drogo has had the displeasure of meeting.
    Your poor judgement in doing this is not what Drogo would expect from a moderator.

    I think its just too soon, and i think making a connection with the community is a process you shouldnt do with time in consideration, it should be a really organic process, also i saw a clear change after you made your application, and seeing your application before adopting that change makes me think a little more about your reasons of applying, as if you wanted the position first and helping was second thought, time is the key, you cant speedrun staff and much less its requirements, i like you a lot personally and will think about changing my rating in the future to support but at the moment i have to go with no support.

    I’ve realized I haven’t actually taken the time to reply to this yet. Since you came back we have gotten pretty close, however as someone who was in a somewhat similar situation being gone for 11 months, I do agree with everyone that your not quiet ready for the staff team again yet, as when I first returned it took me a few weeks to fully re-familiarize myself with all the new stuff to the server, including the players which is very important. However I think it’s excellent you’ve opened your application soon as it gives everyone a chance to look out for things such as your activity and how helpful you are :)

    Reading this again, I really cannot disagree with you at all here Drogo. However, I would just like to state out here in the open that I did not just give my account to Monster due to him being Monster, but I was just looking for anyone at that point to give my account to and Monster just happened to be the person. Even if it is not a written rule anywhere, even if I still gave my account away I should have taken very close consideration at who the information was going to, and I failed to do that.

    I have to agree that it doesn't set the right example or something you would not expect from a member on the staff team, however I can assure you something like this will not happen again as I've had access for my Minecraft account for about a year now, and I do not plan on giving my Minecraft away again. That does not justify my actions on this topic however, and I really appreciate you making a mention on this on my application so I am able to clear it up a bit, but also recognize my faults here.


    Thank you for replying Kuri!

    I have to agree that I should rebuild this connection and it can be seen as a little to soon for me to re-apply I can see all of your points :) I also enjoy the statement where you said that this is an organic process, and it's not just over time but I kind of have to put myself out there also and put in the effort to rebuild these relationships, and I have planned on doing so/keep doing that. When I first got unbanned from the server, I took a look back at the place I would really like to be as I am lucky enough to have a "fresh" start. I take a look at my past and recent actions every single day, and I am learning the difference between how I have done/said things a few years ago vs. now, and I am hoping that change goes noticed throughout this application, as I have been promoting these changes heavily :) I have always had a liking for helping people, even in-real life situations I enjoy helping whoever has to be needed and it goes as an instinct for me rather than "it has to be done". I really enjoy the positivity and learning that players have learned something new and their question has been answered is a great thing to see, as well as having conversations with all of these players in the community. Looking forward for a future response, with a change of opinion possibly, but I commend you for recognizing these on my application and I strive to become a far more well-rounded player/person than I have shown in the past. I may have created this application a tad too early, but this application was created because of my intentions to keep helping out all of the platforms, especially the server. Even if this application was not open, I can assure you I would still be answering the same questions that are asked as I really like to hear these players have their questions answered, and it brings me some positivity into my day. I have to remember, that we as players were all in these situations before of not knowing anything about the three platforms, and these community members deserve the same answers we have gotten in the past, and I am happy to give out any information that is being asked/needed!


    Hey Vortext, thank you for replying!

    I have been lucky enough to get the chance to know you over these past few days, and I have actually learned a ton of information just by having these conversations. Hearing from a player that has been in a similar situation is always helpful, but I will assure you that I take all of this feedback to personal account and plan on listening to how your situation went. I believe from myself, that some more time is needed in order to show all of these changes, but as well as rebuilding these connections with the community, and I plan on growing those connections throughout the Discord and forums also :)

    It's yet to be a month from when you were unbanned.
    IMO you need to show a lot more commitment to playing SkyBlock than re-joining and 3 weeks later posting a mod app.
    No support, if I see you active for 2-3 months longer, then I will change to support.

    Hey Brake thank you for leaving a comment :)

    It is nice to hear from some players that I have not gotten to know personally yet, but I will be happy to get to know you so more :) It is nice for you to give me a timeframe, however, I do not plan to go by any "timeframe" and I prove to show these changes from here onward. Having a time-frame makes it seems like this is something that I am not truly accomplishing on the qualities I currently have, and I plan to show you all of these changes for x remainder of time. I plan on playing the server throughout my summer however, so I do not plan on having any other changes anytime soon on my activity. However, that can only been seen by actions and I hope to show you that I am able to keep these changes indefinately and some things that I have truly worked on :). I am willing to be patient on this process, especially due to me just returning to the community, and I am happy to go through this process again, but with a different approach! I do want to make sure I state I agree with you however, in the coming months that some more time is being needed to show my commitment, but I am willing to show that to you!

    Thank you for your reply however, every piece of feedback has been helping me, and learning the difference between the person I was and the person I have become.

    I think one of the things that concerns me about that also, is that if you were happy to break minecraft's account ownership rules without giving it much thought, what differentiates that mindset from being a moderator in a position to enforce rules?

    Thank you for your response!

    I really cannot go against this comment as it's true, but I would just like to point out that the account was not sold and it was just given out of me stopping to play Minecraft. Even though account sharing is still apart of the ownership rules, I can assure you that I will not be giving out my account to anyone in the future, and it is under 2fa. I can assure you that as apart of the staff team, I am able to enforce those rules and such responses. I plan on re-reading the Minecraft EULA after this comment as I should familiarize myself with all portions of the server, including its' base. However, you are right, I did not give it much thought and that's something I really regret doing, but I have full access of my account. I have familiarized myself with the server/forum/discord rules since being back, and I do understand all of those rules given this period of time they are applied. I am hoping you can see a change in your opinion in the future however, and I am open to any feedback that you are willing to write down for me :)

    I appreciate that you are able to accept your wrongdoing, I believe it shows you are willing to improve your ways, however only actions can prove what you say. I have seen you on survival a bit lately which shows you are atleast active for the time being, I think I will need to wait some time and watch your interactions for a bit more before changing my opinion on you getting promoted however I wish you luck and will keep taking mental notes

    I will make sure that I am able to show these things to you and everyone else with an open eye, and you should be seeing me online a lot more, especially in-game. However, the past 2-3 days I have been in-game but not as active in chat, as I have been really busy with the giveaways I have been hosting and there was a lot done in the background put in to it with creating it wise, but a majority of the time if I am AFK on the server, I am doing things that are server related in the background. If not, I will just go offline until I return, but most of the time that is what I am doing in the background. Sometimes I interact in /msg, but most of the time I am creating my messages in the global chat for players asking for questions, as it can answer another player's question if they are wondering the same thing.
    I am willing to improve my ways, but I need some of the community members' time to see these changes, and what has been improved on. I have a lot of regrets from some of the stuff I did on the staff team, but I have recognized those faults, but I do know that "sorry" is not enough. Only actions can prove these changes, and I hope you are willing to be a little patient to see this new person, as that is the only way you can have a clear answer on me being an applicant. I hope your opinion changes in the future, and thank you for leaving some additional feedback!

    I would like to bump this :)

    I would like to note that my activity on the discord has increased and I have been joining voice channels more recently, but I'm still working on being able to be active on the Discord, especially in the help channel. My activity in-game has remained the same since my last comment, or has only increased I believe.

    That's just a few things I wanted to point out, and I am excited to hear more feedback, thank you!

    Thank you! I would like some constructive feedback if possible however :) I've never really had a connection with economy since I first joined the server years ago, and I probably have less than 3 hours of playtime on economy in total playtime, I just prefer classic however. I do tend to get on economy every now and then, but I do not actually play on economy.

    I can start to get on economy more and meet some of the economy community, as I really have not taken the time to enjoy economy
