    Your in-game name: Dark_penumbra

    Which timezone are you in? US Eastern

    Which languages do you speak? I speak English

    Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?) yes, my friend had just joined and she pressured me to bridge, and it was my fault for doing my actions. I was banned, the server had reset so I was unbanned, I have not done anything to break the rules in any way since the server reset. I have learned from my mistakes and found the right path to follow.

    Why do you think you should be a mod? I think I should be a Moderator because I have a fair judgement. I am able to listen to both sides of an argument and choose which I think is most truthful. Both side may have a good point to why they did it or why it happened, but either way only one side can be right or true. I have tried to be as close as a mod in game, and I have read the chat and tried to help as many as I could. I have learned from my past and have done well by helping others. I want to be able to help those who at being teased or humiliated. I know what that feels like and it's not a good feeling, when people say I know how you feel, sometimes they really don't. So when I say I know how you feel I really do know. And I know it is hard for some players to get help when they are new, so I want to be able to help them, and show them they are not alone, either in real life or in a game. I want to be able to help as many people as I can, when I was little I would always get in the middle of fights because people would bring me into them. I would always ask what is going on? They would stop fighting and listen so I could tell them who is right or who is wrong. They may not like the answer but at least the answer is true. I would find out later the had made up and become friends again. At first it may not be something you want to hear, but later on some see that it became a big help to them. And that's what I want to do, help others understand that fighting, cheating, stealing or griefing get them no where but in one spot. And that spot is where they will feel horrible about what they did. Hurting others may seem fun and a reward, but it hurts others and it hurts the ones causing it. Staying on the wrong path can turn ones heart into something they never imagined it would become. I want to help them choose the right path, and show them what they can become.

    How long can you be active on the server every day? I can be on the server at least 4 to 5 hours a day, but I am about to be a freshman so my time may be limited, but I always manage to find time to go on SkyBlock.

    This is the schedule for when I am a freshman. But during the Summer I am online All Day, if I am however not online it is because I am out with my family or doing something else.
    Monday - 4Pm - 9Pm
    Tuesday - 4Pm - 9Pm
    Wednesday - 4Pm - 9Pm
    Thursday 4Pm - 9Pm
    Friday - 4Pm - 12Am
    Saturday - All Day
    Sunday - 7Am - 9Pm

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator? I do not have experience for it is my first time applying for a moderator position. But if you will accept me I would love to show you what I can do for the server. I hope you will have me. I know it is hard to find moderators when you don't know them or you don't know what they will do, but that is why you need to take chances and let people show what they can do for the server. And I would love to me a moderator because I have come and gone with other servers because of the owner abuse or moderator abuse, and this is one server that I have stuck with. And I will stay with it for a long while. Thank you for reading this and I hope you choose me to be one of your moderators.

    My name is Dark_penumbra, I am 13 and I will soon be a freshman. I love archery and animals,I also volunteer at a Animal Rescue Center. I love music and my instrument of choice is a clarinet.
    I am kind and sweet, but I can be firm and strong if need be. I will help as much as I can to support the server and it's players. I am open to those I can trust, but my trust is earned not randomly given. I do not break easily to beggars or trollers. Even if I am not chosen to be a Moderator I will still do all I can to support others.

    Traits and Skills:

    Honesty: I am honest when it comes to asking questions. I do not lie to others because it leads you to loosing their trust. Never lie to anyone because it goes against who you are.

    Humorous: I have a good sense of humor. I laugh easily and if in a challenge of Do Not Laugh I would laugh the whole time, but I would try my very best to not laugh.

    Open Eyes: All my life I have been able to see the tiny things in games or in reality. On other servers I was able to identify players using hacks. For each hack I have searched up on there is a fault to it. For example the X-Ray hack, it is hard for them to not look down, so if they constantly look down while walking or mining that is one of the ways you can tell they are using a hack.

    Information:
    There is however a bad side to me. I do not have a certain chemical in my body and I am angered easily, but i have learned to control it as best as I can. It isn't fighting that makes me angered but those who want me mad, or do their best to make me angry that is when it is hard for me to control it. I am to young for the medication so although it is hard for me I do by best to make sure it does not get in the way of what I am doing and what I love to do.

    What I would like to do for the server:
    I have seen many players being cheated when trading, and I want to help them get the items they paid for. I have also seen people spamming so they can get players to purchase their items. I have seen players asking for illegal trades, and I want to be able to stop that. Some players are complaining about the mods saying, "why do they keep saying dirt trade is illegal?" I want to help them understand that the server does not allow them to trade those items.

    No problem the thread I posted above really helps, it'll give you an idea on what your app should look like.
    I will post support or my opinion when you've completed your app.
    Good luck :)

    This is good progress but it needs a little more detail, especially under why you should be a mod. Also try adding a schedule on how active u can be. Like this.
    Monday -
    Tuesday-
    Wednesday -
    Thursday -
    Friday -
    Saturday -
    Sunday -
    Then include hours after each day.

    Here is a very good application which was accepted.
    krissy_punk's Mod application [AUS] Shortened | Skyblock Forums
    Use this for reference. DO NOT COPY.
    this is just to give you an idea on what a good app looks like.

    Also refer to the link above I posted. It will really help. I suggest reading it all.
    :)

    It's getting there, try to be consistent with your schedule, what I mean by that is add am PM for every day.
    And one thing I like is how you were honest with how you have a bad side.
    Try adding a tad bit of color. Don't over do it.
    Also try bolding the questions like why do you think you should be a mod, basically the subtitles need bolding as well as starting questions.
    Lastly make sure you're active on the forums, as forums are a big part of moderating. Make an impact, and become known. That really helps.
