    Hi Slik.

    Firstly I'd like to start with some positives from what I've gathered from seeing you in-game and what I've gathered from knowing you on more of a personal level.
    • You're active in-game
    • You've been seen assisting players of all sorts
    • You've got a sound knowledge of how our servers operate
    • Coming from economy first, you have a sound relationship with both server communities.
    It's without being said that we've had our ups and downs, but in the past few months, I've gotten to know you a lot more than before. Throughout the process of applying, I have seen you apply yourself, and also improve upon what feedback you have received, which is great.

    However, come to all applications, we need to discuss the negatives or rather some things that can be worked on. In an irregular instance, you tend to lean off of other players who are acting out. Yes, you're allowed to have a laugh with your friends, but sometimes we have to be mindful that Skyblock is a community that contains young and impressionable children.
    Working on being more reasonable and responsible is very important, especially for anyone who is looking to represent the server in a staff member's capacity.

    As said in many applications to a degree, community engagement is dire. Such engagement is mainly nit-picked through the use of Discord and forums. Your forums activity is low, however, I do believe given that chance and responsibilities, you'd be able to develop your understanding of the forums.

    Discord is a different story. Looking into your discord activity, from what I've seen that you also rarely are active on our server. Many people will flag this as an issue, but looking into why we interpret this as a whole, that being engagement, I can rest easy. Why can I rest easy you may ask? You and a few other members of our community have created a third-party discord server in which you are highly involved, and are regularly engaging with a wide variety of groups and members of our overall community. Without a doubt from this, it is clear that you also grasp not only how discord works, but also different constructs to do with punishment and moderating, which is ideal as an applicant.

    I hope to see you more on our forums and also utilizing our discord. I hope to see you continue helping players in-game. I hope to see you continually developing from the person I initially met.

    Best regards for your application Slik.

    Thank you so much for the feedback Luka I greatly appreciate it, thank you for including the other discord server I'm very active in. I have put your recommendations into consideration and will work on being more active in forums and in the official skyblock discord server. :heart:

    Slik,

    You're a great person to be with. However, your activity has gone down on discord and in game from my end. Other than that I can't say much other than what I said previously because I haven't seen you active. We're in the same timezone and often I am on in the mornings as well as evenings but I don't really see you active or you may be AFK. Not sure if its due to the different times I log in. Work up the activity if you can. Im still supporting you btw

    I haven’t replied yet but I’d like to leave feedback. Taking into consideration that you have a job and other responsibilities outside of Skyblock, I think that you’ve engaged with the community a lot recently. You may not be active in the servers discord, but like Luka said, you are highly involved in the third party server. I haven’t been the most active ingame recently but when I was active I saw you on & helping. You joined the karaoke night we hosted as well, so even if you aren’t interacting with the community in the chats, you’re still interacting in the VCs. I think maybe chatting a bit in the Skyblock discord would be beneficial, as not everyone is in NS & it would help the community notice your presence more. The only thing I see as negative, like Luka pointed out, is you tend to engage with people who are causing issues and lean off of the jokes. Support, I hope you continue to improve & I hope you get promoted. Good luck :)

    I just realized I have yet to comment but I did leave my rating as I'm sure you've seen by now! I have no doubt this man is capable of being a good staff member :) Support

    It may damn well be our timezones but I have not seen you on much at all. I have seen however that you are part of a third party server and from what other people have said you would be a decent addition. I feel like while I haven't seen anything personally, you could do pretty well. I will give a support, because I know that even if you're not as active as most community members, you are still around in other ways.

    Hello Slik!

    Thought I'd take my time and make a response to the application, rather than just leaving a natural rating.
    You seem to have the right mindset and helpfulness I want to see in a candidate for staff. Although, there is still one thing that is bothering me about the application itself. I have messaged you about it before, and it is that the application is very similar to mine. Do not get me wrong, inspiration is great, and inspiration should be taken. However, though, I feel like it might be a bit too alike.
    Lastly, I think your discord activity overall could improve slightly as I do not see you there as much as in game.

    Great application, and best of luck,
    Oak

    Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that subheadings are a common organizational element used in various applications and documents. The use of stars or similar symbols to mark subheadings is a widely adopted practice to enhance readability and structure. As such, observing similarities in subheading formatting doesn't necessarily indicate plagiarism but rather a shared understanding of effective content organization.

    What truly matters in a moderator application is the originality and authenticity of the content. The paragraphs and the thoughts presented under each subheading should reflect the applicant's unique skills, experiences, and vision for their role as a moderator. As long as the content itself is original and not copied, the candidate should be evaluated on the merit of their ideas and qualifications rather than the formatting choices.

    Additionally, as a forum community, we thrive on diversity and inclusion. Each applicant brings a distinctive set of skills and perspectives to the table, enriching the forum's overall experience. Encouraging varied approaches to organizing information fosters a dynamic environment where multiple voices can contribute positively.

    In conclusion, while I understand your initial concern about the subheading similarities, I believe that it should not be a deciding factor in evaluating an applicant's candidacy. Instead, we should focus on the substance of their application, their ability to contribute positively to the forum, and their commitment to upholding its values.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my perspective on this matter. Let's continue working together to ensure our forum remains an inclusive and vibrant community.
