    Schmoobin's Moderator Application 2017

    I am Schmoobin. Some of you may not know me, so this is a short introduction. I've been playing the server for about two years now, and joined the forums in early 2016. I like to make YouTube videos, play video games, and respect women. I've always wanted to be a moderator on this server, and hope to become one soon.
    Your in-game name
    My in-game name is Schmoobin, and I have never changed it.

    What time zone are you in?
    I am in the CST+ (Central Standard time)

    What country do you live in?
    I live in the United States of America (USA)

    What languages do you speak?
    I can only speak fluent English. I am looking into learning Spanish in the next couple of years.

    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes/No
    Yes I do

    Do you have the necessary means
    of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc)
    I can take screenshots with the F2 button on Minecraft. As for capturing video, I can use my Windows 10 screen recorder.

    Why do you think you should become a mod?

    Helpful
    I love to help players whenever I can on the server and the website. I will try my best to help a new player with their current problem. Helping people (in this case, players) always makes me feel better, and it benefits the both of us.


    Friendly
    I'm a very friendly person, and try to always make a new player feel welcome on the server. I like to make friends with many of the players on the server. Greenies are generally treated poorly, but I honestly like them, and will be friendly towards them. Remember the Golden Rule: treat others the way you would want to be treated.

    Honest
    My mom always told me that lying is a sin. I am a very honest person, and try my best to be. When it comes to player reports, I will not be biased while handling the case, even if it is a good friend of mine. Honesty is one of the best traits to have if you're a mod, so one can handle reports fairly.

    Active
    I try my best to be as active as I can on the server and forums. There are so many amazing players on here, and I can't just leave them hanging.

    Mature
    I feel like I am a mature player. Personally, I love to have fun and crack some jokes online, but I know where the line is between funny and offensive (rude) is. I know, I used to me much more immature a while back, but I've been trying to be more mature over the past few months.

    Experienced Player
    I've been playing on this server for a long time, so I should know how to play this game. If somebody doesn't know how to do something, or doesn't know the price of an item, I can help them with that. I honestly love to help people.

    Patient
    This will tie in with being kind and friendly. Sometimes, a player has a hard time doing something, and it will take a long time to help them. Because I love helping people, I can handle situations in which it takes seemingly "forever" to fix.


    How long can you be active on the server everyday?
    I do not have exact times, but I will be on 30 minutes - 1.5 hours a day.

    How long have you been playing Skyblock?
    I have been playing Skyblock since mid to late 2015

    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & In-game)
    I have been banned a couple of times by console, but I believe that is it.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
    I am currently a staff member on a server that is currently not up yet, and I was a moderator on private servers in the past.

    Do you meet the requirements for staff? Yes/No
    I think it's fair to say I do.


    Thank you for reading my application. Please let me know if there is anything I should correct.

    Sorry.


    You should add a lot more detail in all areas and from what I've seen on the forums (and some in-game) you aren't really 'mod proof'. Good luck, however.​

    No support. Add a LOT more detail. Sorry to say, its not that informative of you and what you've done to help the server, how you can help greenies, and others with problems.

    I really like you as a person, but I cannot support you. Reasons still stated above and valid.

    I don't tend to memorise American time zones in my spare time nor do I care to look them up, so if you could include the number of your timezone (for example, mine is ACST GMT + 9:30) that would be infinitely useful.
    Whatever you do, don't make the main font of your application larger than the standard size (4). This makes it look like you're space-filling. For your headings, use a maximum of size 5, unless it's for the main/first heading, and all subheadings should be the same size as the main text, but bolded, underlined or italicised.
    Second note: you haven't written a lot. Once the font is downsized, I'll get a better idea of how long it is, but it felt pretty quick to read. I would advise you write around 4 long paragraphs on your best qualities, rather than 7 tiny paragraphs.
    Whether or not you fulfil the staff requirements is not a matter of opinion: read the sticky'd threads in the moderator application section and you will know that.
    You only know one language, and you're American (we already have a lot of Americans), which I know is not something that you can change, but it does not make you an ideal applicant.
    I won't judge your activity, but many say you are inactive.
    No support, but if you can improve some of these things, I'm sure you can get there.
    Good luck!

    Maybe not make everything so italic? Its very hard to read for me.
    Maybe list a reason you want to become a moderator?

    All and all, no support. Never really see you in game (could be timezones), and your application didn't impress me.

    I'll stay neutral, for now.
    I see you in game every now and again (it's hard because we're in completely different timezones) but when I have you haven't been very vocal in chat, never mind helpful.
    My mind can be changed if I see improvements.
    Good luck!

    I like your as a person but I don't think you are ready for the Moderator Post.

    You aren't helpful nor you are active on both platforms. Work on your activity and try to assist more players and my status may change.

    Thank you for all of your responses. I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I have come to the conclusion that I too do not think I am ready yet. Will a moderator please lock this
