Thank you so much for helping me out the other day with andrewswj . You are a very very helpful person. I would have quit skyblock if not for you helping me out. Thank you so much. you went through all the trouble just to help me, and you was very patient in solving the issue. When i joined the forums i didnt know your real name was enderchew so i didnt know you were applying to be moderator. you are super humble because you didnt advertise me your mod thread, some people do that all the time. I dunno why you are not a mod yet.

CypriotMerks why isn't he a mod yet? He deserves it a lot. he does not want popularity, and the three pages of support is all because he touched a lot of hearts without advertising his application

You have my full support!

Hello all, I'm Kai Ming.

Firstly, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone reading this thread for spending time to read this application. After having so much encouragement and support from my fellow skyblock friends in game and on the forums to be a moderator, taking a step to apply to become a moderator has been taken into deep consideration. Time spent, self ability and all aspects have been taken into consideration before I have made this application.

Your in game name: Enderchew

What time-zone are you in? GMT+8

What languages do you speak? Mainly English and Chinese. Most people living around Asia also speaks these common languages.

Have you ever been banned? Never.

Why do you think you should be a mod? Firstly, the key reason that drove me to writing this application is because of the time gap between USA, Europe and Australia. At most peak hours in game, I noticed that there are usually no moderators online due to timezone differences.

Another driving force behind this moderator application is that I have observed that most of the moderator team lives in Eastern Australia, Europe or the United States. This calls for attention to one thing - the gap of timezones between Europe and East Australia - who is going to serve the community then? What this results in is a series of cry for help. As we all know, rule breakers are always there. Scams, griefs, looting of islands usually occurs at moments when moderators are offline, and sometimes go past unnoticed. Next, another urging factor that drove me to become a moderator because I believe that becoming a moderator will open more doors for me to serve the community.

The third compelling reason of why I should be a moderator because I strongly believe in 3 values - Faith, Service and Community. Faith - to believe in the potential of every skyblock player, regardless of being a donor or a non-donor. Service - to give back to the people I love, as a servant to the last, the lost and the least. Community - the happiness, thoughts and opinions of the players are seen equal, respected, and always welcome. As part of a LaSallian school in Singapore, the values taught to us by our founder, has inspired me to be someone like him, giving himself in service to others, and helping those in need. Not only had these three values taught me to be a giving, generous and helpful person in real life, these values also taught me to apply what I have learnt in the virtual world as well. These values has taught me and empowered me to put the needs of the community before the needs for oneself. Also, these values have enabled my actions, thoughts, words and deeds to always be for the goodness and benefit of all. I did apply to be a mod because of the perks, but because of these three values that urged me to apply to become a moderator, helping the community in every way possible, be it helping players solve certain issues, or helping the fill in the peak hour gaps between time zones for moderators.

Another reason why I should be a mod is because of my ability to apply what I have learnt. Application is a hard thing, and I believe, I am able to do it. I can boldly say, that I have not memorised the all the rules of the server, all the prices of every item, or the list of illegal items, but what is more important than that, and what I believe I possess, is the ability to apply. There's a saying that goes, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"-[Bruce Lee]. This quote, in the context of skyblock, means that applying one concept, which I will be mentioning later, is better than memorising and knowing all the rules. Application in situations is the solution, instead of memorising rules and thinking "wait, does this rule exist?". Application is derived from the "cause and effect", and I do have this mentality, and this attribute makes up a strong foundation of why I should become a moderator. The "cause", is defined as the situation you are in, and "effect" refers to the impact of this particular situation. An example of "cause and effect" at a level I issue is seen in:

Topic sentence: Griefing - is it illegal?

The cause: Greifing
The effect: Owner of island feels that his/her hard work has gone to nothing, possibly quit skyblock

Therefore, Griefing can be easily be classified as illegal, because it destroys the work of others, and creates a negative impact on the community. The "cause and effect" has enabled me to easily draw a line between what is "legal", and what is "illegal". I believe that this attribute of application in situations would help enable me to become a good moderator, particularly in situations whereby there is grey area of what is legal and what is illegal. Notably in level II issue below:

Topic sentence: Grass, or grass?

Cause: Players trade grass instead of grass blocks for items
Effect: Opposition trader will be at a loss, considered as a scam

Without application of the "cause and effect" concept, this issue would put most at a stop. Technically, the trade is not considered as scamming, but ironically at the same time, a scam. No where in the rules have stated whether this is allowed or not, and players can easily bypass it without a ban. Therefore, I see a need for application, instead of memorising server rules, because applying what I know, will be the most helpful to situations where there are grey areas between legal and illegal, and make the right judgement on the spot. Thus I feel that I should be a mod because of my strong foundation of applying in situations.

How long can you be on the server everyday? I am able to clock in about 4 - 8 hours everyday, which is also the essential time gap between Europe and Eastern Australia. I hope that I would be able to help the staff team moderate the gap between these time zones.

Past experiences as a moderator? I do have past experiences as a moderator in other fields of areas, but I would not mention any. I strongly believe that I shouldn't post any past experiences as I believe that I should not be supported for a moderator because of my experience or achievements as a moderator, but because of my love, willingness and passion to serve the community.

Final words: I can be writing on and on for hours and days, but however, no matter how much I write, the decision is up to you - the community of skyblock players. Please do comment in the thread below whether you support or do not support this thread. I would like to open this thread to a freedom of free articulation of ideas and opinion. Also, I would like to thank you for making skyblock.net for being such a wonderful place to be in. I hope that you would support me in my journey to be a moderator, not because of my achievements, but because of my wish, my passion, and my devotion to serve and to help the community. You have my word for it, and I will never go back on my words. This is only just the beginning. Life's a never ending journey. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you in-game!

Regards,
Kai Ming

Wonkie · Jun 28, 2014

Very nice application, and I have seen you Help in-game.
Therefore I support!
Good Luck!

AngelofAids · Jun 30, 2014

I support Chewy's application for trial mod. He's regularly online, and is very helpful. He makes an effort to keep chat clean and help out new players.

I have confidence in him, and believe that the position would suit him well.

Enderchew · Jun 30, 2014

1,100 views, as well as my 100th post! Thank you guys for your never ending support and for reading this thread!
Applying to become a T-mod is not about getting promoted immediately due to the numerous supports, but rather a journey of constant reflection, where you really get to know who you really are in the face of other players. All I would like to say, is that whether I become a T-mod or not, I will always love this community that supported me so much in my journey of reflection, the many I had reached out to and helped, and also the many friends I've made.

Enderchew · Jul 8, 2014

Enderchew · Jul 26, 2014

Support.
I agree with what you said but also I think that grass (not the block) is actually named tallgrass if you use the /give command and the item ID
