    Some feedback :)

    • Activity: I can't really speak for this part too much as I'm not a .org player, however when I do check it once in a while you have been there.
    • Activity on forums: I do feel like there is room of improvement, while I have seen you sometimes, moderating requires almost as much activity on forums. I feel like you can improve on that, good luck.
    • Application: Boy, your app is fabulous. Good job, really.
    • Dedication: You do seem a dedicated, nice and helpful player. Remember to never give up.
    In conclusion, I think you're doing great, however forums is the thing :). I wish you best of luck.

    I almost always see NekoEmmi on in the mornings and in my opinion this is a excellent application, she also has experience as a mod, bonus points! You have my full support. I would love to see you as a mod one day :heart:.
    P.S. I love that video of the puppy!
    Love, ducktapekid101

    Haha! Why the frick frack indeed ^^ Sakura I am fairly sure you already did. I have a bunch of apps bookmarked to read and comment on at some point btw and yours is one of them ^^ :heart: Thanks Supapah for the feedback. I don't expect I'd be on the forum a whole lot more than I use it currently, apart from to check reports and appeals where appropriate, so if this level of activity isn't enough that's fine Cyp don't promote me :p and thanks Ducky kind words. That video of the puppy is what I used to convince Whippy that perhaps one day we could get a dog haha. xxx

    Hai everyone. I'm really sorry to do this because I know a lot of people really wanted me to become a mod, but I think it's in my and also the server's best interests that I take this app down ^^ Sorry for super long post; don't feel you have to read any further, I just felt I owed it to the people who supported me to give a real explanation of why I'm doing it :) but I know it's pretty long lol; it's nothing important and I'm not going anywhere, don't worry :p x

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    As many of you know, the reason I applied for mod was one particularly horrible day on which there was a higher than usual number of spammers, swearers, disrespect and general unpleasantness going on, topped off with witnessing someone kill all a friend's pets on their island but being unable to do anything about it. (We reported it, but the perpetrator got away with just a warning because despite there being several witnesses, there was no concrete proof, so nothing could be done about it :( ). Many of my friends were also pestering me to create a mod app, and on that horrible day, I felt that if I had been a moderator, I could have dealt with it and saved a lot of bother and grief for everyone, so in that moment of helplessness and frustration I caved to pressure to create an app.

    However, I have to be honest, it's like applying for a job volunteering at a charity shop... I know I'm capable of doing it, and I'd be willing, but is it something I really want to do? No, not really :p it's work for no pay; I know it's for a good cause but there are other things I'd rather be doing with my time lol.
    This is something I saw on someone else's app that I actually felt didn't apply to the person whose app it was, but it certainly applies to me XD I guess it's just taken me this long to have the balls to put my wishes before those of my friends :p

    I also feel that there are other people who have apps up at the moment that certainly want to be a mod more than I do, and who would do a great job, and I'd feel really bad if I got promoted now, not really wanting to do it, above someone else who's capable and really keen. Couple this with the fact that I created this app over 5 months ago, well it's not that long really but long enough for me to feel it's fair now to retract the application; it's sat on the shelf long enough, and those angry feelings that prompted me to create the app in the first place have died away.

    I'm also a bit afraid that moderating Skyblock is like accepting some sort of crazy mini-celebrity status! I don't know why but Skyblock mods seem to have fanbases not dissimilar to Youtubers and Modders! I guess it's proof that the mods here do a good job :D It's a bit political too to be honest. :/ I feel that other mods have occasionally been forced to take sides in awkward situations and I don't want that. I'm crap at remaining impartial, I'm a really opinionated person. I also think that Forums activity and Teamspeak stuff carry too much weight... I wanted to help moderate .Org for basic day to day server stuff, but I don't want to become a celebrity on the server and I certainly don't want to also have to try to moderate Forums and Teamspeak - though I enjoy using both of those things, I don't want Skyblock to become my life!

    I do co-own a server which is broken at the moment (waiting for Sponge to be completed in order to move from Cauldron into 1.8) ... it's probably several months from completion, but I would almost certainly have resigned as moderator on here when Sponge is ready if I had been promoted, because I can't properly moderate two servers, and I would never want to do a half hearted job. The more time that passes, the less point it seems in keeping this application open knowing that I was thinking of resigning in a few months anyway.

    Finally, I do occasionally go through waves of illness and depression too. I know this isn't exactly a disqualifying factor but... it's not unheard of for me to go offline or just quiet for a week or so unexpectedly. I would always have let staff know what was going on but it does feel a bit unprofessional. There are times when I close up and I come onto Minecraft as an escape from how I'm feeling, and to get away from people. I think that if I was a moderator, going all depressed and then ignoring people who needed help because I didn't feel like talking to anyone would be unacceptable :/ and the alternative would just be not to come online when I'm feeling like this, and I really don't want to lose this special hideaway place when I need it :heart:

    Anyway all this boils down to, is I've decided that although I am guilty of mini-modding to some degree, I'm perfectly happy with the way things are now, and I was actually relieved when the last wave of promotions went past and I wasn't one of them. :p Plenty of people messaged me to say things like "sorry you didn't get mod", "it should have been you", "you deserve it" and "I'm sure you'll get it next time" and to be honest, I didn't feel that way - I wasn't disappointed, I was in fact glad it wasn't me. It surprised me but when I realised that, then it occurred to me that knowing this, it would be stupid to leave this app open ... I'd feel very silly now if I got promoted XD

    So, I wish to close this application please. I really don't want people to pester me to reopen it, because it isn't what I want to do; I've given plenty of reasons for why I'm taking it down, and I like things the way they are now :) Of course, I still love .Org, I adore the community and all my friends here, so don't worry I'm not going anywhere if I can help it!! :) I still look forward to seeing everyone in-game and I will continue to help out people when I can. But I just think Skyblock moderator isn't the job for me :) Thank you everybody for all the support I received, both from friends and from people I haven't even ever seen in-game, it really warmed my heart that you think so much of me and it means a lot! :)

    Well, au revoir for now, tout le monde :heart: :heart: :heart: :cat xxx
