  Thank you for taking the time to read
  I'm not the best at typing out lengthy applications, but I hope this gives you a little more insight into why I would be a good fit for staff.
  Thank you for considering my application. I'm committed to contributing positively to the server community and would be honored to join the staff team.
  
  Edited to look and look more professional and fixed all the grammar and punctuation.

 

Neutral. add more colors

 

Is that better?

 

I appreciate the minimalistic approach with your application, however it doesn't speak to me about your qualities and why you would be a great staff member. The expectation of a staff application is formality. It's like applying for a job, which in this case, it sort of is (a volunteer position to be exact). I think it would be great to treat this application formally, with proper grammar/capitalization and expanding on your traits that deem you qualified for this position:

Ending this sentence with "but i donno" doesn't really assure me that you believe you're fit for this position.

Also I think you added a bit too many colours, try to incorporate colours where needed. An application doesn't necessarily need colours to be a good application, so long as you actually include valid points, your skills and qualifications (as you did by mentioning your experience with moderating a friend's server/being a system admin), and any important information that we, the reader, should know. Colours just help important information stand out.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way! I just wanted to offer my feedback should you choose to use it. But nonetheless, good luck with your application Silvia!

 

I have no qualms with you necessarily, never had negative interactions but I thought this was a joke application. The title using slang and the application being so short while being in such a joking tone is not good.

 

Yeah I have to agree. I don't know about the dc bc I don't have it but I've never had a negative interaction with you in game, but I think you should professionalize this application.

 

I think you forgot to mention you were also banned four months ago for homophobic and racist jokes on Discord.

 

Oh right I forgot about that one lol kind of flew over my head but definitely wasn't homophobic in that regards but anyways I take that off of SkyBlock discord

 

the title wasn't meant to be fo it was meant to be for but cant edit the title unfortunately I didn't see the mistype till after it was posted

 

boba I get where you're coming from about treating staff applications with a bit more formality, but I think it's also important to remember that at the end of the day, this is Minecraft—a game meant to be fun and enjoyed. While servers do rely on volunteers to help things run smoothly, the tone and approach shouldn’t always have to mirror that of a real-world job application.

Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves, and for someone like SilviaPrincess, keeping things casual and approachable might actually be part of what makes them a strong presence in the community. A friendly, laid-back attitude can go a long way in making players feel comfortable and welcome. While formal writing and experience are definitely valuable, sometimes it's the more down-to-earth, relatable approach that really connects with people—especially in a game that's built around creativity and community like Minecraft. That said, I respect your feedback—it’s definitely helpful for anyone looking to improve their application. I just think there’s also room for individuality and a bit of playfulness, especially in a space that's meant to be enjoyable for everyone.


MrEPro Also to bring into question this ban... without any information about the ban in that actual appeal process from staff about what actually happened.
talking about Hitler is not inherently racist. Also you might want to /visit SilviaPrincess. something to do with the colours used on that island and being called homophobic that just isn't adding up here...



Getting back to the matter at hand!


I actually think SilviaPrincess’s application is great in its own way. It might not be super formal, but it’s honest, personal, and shows who they really are—which is important for a Minecraft community.

They are clearly active, helpful, and care about the server. Even owns up to their past mistakes and shows they have learned from them, which is a good sign of growth. Plus, available often and even has the tools to moderate while away from their PC.

What really matters for staff is being approachable, committed, and willing to help—and Silvia shows all of that. The relaxed tone and colours don’t take away from the fact that they'd be a friendly and reliable person and absolute asset to have on the team.

Minecraft is a game, after all. Having staff who feel human and relatable can be just as important as formal writing. I strongly support Silvia with this application as they've helped me too many dam times to count; from little things like "does snow melt" to tricky stuff that us old people don't understand like how to navigate Discord. No one is perfect, and who the hell wants to be. Perfect is boring. The colours make this application stand out, its different, its original, its unique! and if i'm voting for a potential staff member, i want someone that is approachable and easy to get along with not someone that is around the clock formal. You can't blend in when you were born to stand out!


Good luck Silv, i got ya back all the way!

 

Even if it is AI doesn't mean its wrong


also I got this when I ran it though GPTZero

 

It isn't my application that was outsourced just Clazza's response if you have no support cos of someone else's response that tells me a lot about you.
Thank you for reading and thinking I didn't write it myself.

I'd get it if you were to disagree not only with the AI response but with an application that isn't AI just cos of an AI response why?
I would like to know, if you can reply to this or dm me about why you think. I should have no support cos of something someone else did.

 

The fact that this thread has focused mostly on the content of Sylvia's application (grammar, colors) rather than in-game interactions with her is a good sign. If Sylvia was someone who created drama or behaved badly on the server, I think most people would be focused on pointing that out. I see her online almost constantly and I have never witnessed one negative interaction she was involved with.

To the contrary, every experience I've had with Sylvia is friendly and helpful. I have no doubt that she would be a great mod while in game.

I do have to agree with previous concerns about the application, however. But first I want to highlight some of the things I appreciate.

I think the tone is acceptable definitely reflects her easygoing character. The colors are a fantastic way of keeping readers engaged and show a high level of web communication skills. Same with the shorter paragraphs- this is a great way of keeping a readers attention in the era of ever shortening attention-spans. These skills would be a great addition to the mod team and the overall forums experience.

The grammar is the biggest issue. Especially in an application, I would expect to see some more formality (at least run it through a free online checker like Grammarly. They do all the correcting for you. It's incredibly easy). Though grammar may seem trivial, I think its importance cannot be understated. I'm not talking about comma splices or using slang like "dunno." That seems fine to me. I mean capitalizing the beginning of your sentences and ending them with punctuation. Simple, basic formatting.

That said, this is an easy fix to make and does not take away from the qualities that make her a great candidate for mod. I mostly talk about it only to add input to previous comments from other users, not to show any hesitation I have for her being mod.

PS: I'll double cast my ballot if you teach me the color codes, Sylvia

 

SilviaPrincess exemplifies an extraordinary confluence of technical proficiency, architectural ingenuity, and interpersonal diplomacy within the Minecraft milieu. Her perspicacious grasp of game mechanics, coupled with an unwavering equanimity in high-pressure scenarios, renders her singularly equipped to uphold server integrity and foster communal cohesion. She embodies the judiciousness, initiative, and decorum requisite for a staff position of the highest caliber. Good luck Silvia!
