    Hello everyone my name is Skyzi you may have seen me online. Thank you for taking your time to read my Moderator application!

    Your in-game name: Skyzi_x (known as Skyzi)

    What time zone are you in? UTC +9:30.

    What country do you live in? Australia.

    What languages do you speak? English and know a little about Japanese language.

    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes.

    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? I have quicktime player as I used to record youtube videos.

    Why do you think you should become a mod?

    Helpful
    I think I'm quite helpful I help people with their island if they need supplies I answer peoples questions and give them examples on what they could do to achieve what they want. If there is some beef going around in chat I will try to stop it and if it gets to out of hand, for example if I got threatened that I was going to get dos'ed I would just report on forums and let a moderator sort it out.

    Mature
    I like to have fun on the server with others but if something becomes immature I know I should stop and tell other to stop. If someone is stressed and is having a bad day and is quite hard to co-operate with I try to answer all his questions in a calm way and make them have their source of information they wanted and get one less thing off their mind.

    Honest
    I'm honest with the community if something happens I will explain the truth and be honest on what happened. Im honest when it comes to trade's I wouldn't scam someone because their hard work has gone into this and just for all of it to go would be quite a sad thing for them. People have my honesty to give them my honest comment on what the subject is.

    Nice
    I think before I speak in-game because people are very young on this server and we don't want to be the ones getting the blame for them swearing/offensive language. I get called nice a lot from all the help I do with people if it's donating, building or talking in chat. If there is one in need I try to be the nicest I can do help them.

    Australian Mods
    There are not many Australian mods in Skyblock to help when USA is sleeping and are not able to come online. I'm always on looking through chat if anyone needs help with their island or if there is anything that is needed to be reported.

    Active
    When it's school holidays i'm always on playing and chatting with others and when I come home from school I do the same everyday and planing on doing it in the future.
    I'd say i'm a little too active lately iv'e been at least on around 5-8 hours everyday maybe more but I don't let that get over my mind.


    How long can you be active on the server everyday?

    My school ends at 3:15 pm UTC +9:30 and I get home around 4 pm everyday.
    Monday 4pm-8:30pm.
    Tuesday 4pm-7pm. (Spend time with my dad as I only see him once a week)
    Wednesday 4pm-8:30pm.
    Thursday 4pm-8:30pm.
    Friday 4pm-12:30am.
    Saturday 10am-3pm 5pm-12am.
    Sunday 10am-2:30pm 4pm-11:30am.


    How long have you been playing Skyblock? I have been playing and enjoying skyblock for almost 2 years.

    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & in-game) I have never been banned on Forums and have been banned in-game for minor grief and illegal trading (these were about 1 year ago) and I plan to never get banned again.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator? No I have not.

    Do you meet the requirements for staff? Yes

    Neutral leaning to support, you need to be a lot more active on forums, I do see you a lot in game, so I need to see you helping more. :heart:

    Hi Skyzi! I'm pretty sure I wrote on your last application, but I'll just write a whole new review. Why not?

    On the application:
    You have a few mistakes dotted around the place, mainly capitalising and sentences that don't make perfect sense. I'd advise you to run this through a word processor like Word or Grammarly to make sure everything is tip top. I like your formatting: green and red is an interesting (festive!) choice of colour, but it looks fine in composition. Also, South Australia isn't a country (we can only dream, Sky :c). You can write "Australia, in South Australia" or something similar if you like.
    You've written a fair amount, you could write more if you liked, but this amount is satisfactory. You should probably focus on some traits that not literally everyone has said--at this point when someone puts "Honest/trustworthy/friendly/mature", I'd say a fair amount of people skip it. Write something that you specifically and uniquely bring to the team. All the same, I much prefer the written content on this application to your last one. That being said, you have listed exactly the same traits.
    In your past experience as a moderator section, you've written that you have no experience. Experience outside of Skyblock and Minecraft counts too--things like being in the Scouts, school councils, group leadership in projects, teamwork in sports, mentoring. There's usually something you can dig up to make yourself sound experienced ;3

    On the applicant:
    I'm a little confused as to why you'd close your application and then, rather than opening and editing your current one, make a new one only 1+ week later. I personally don't care, but I know that Cyp doesn't appreciate people who frequently lock/delete their applications. I guess I understand that you wanted to start anew.
    You're Australian which is a huge plus. As I styated last time, you don't stick out to me as an 'aspiring mod' type, but that's not the end of the world. You're active in-game, but I'd like to see you around more on the forums.
    A big concern I have is that you didn't change your application at all after my post last time. I can appreciate my feedback is sometimes a bit rubbish but there were a few things, like phrases and such that were simply incorrect, that you didn't change at all. This worries me, as it makes me think that either 1) you don't know how to edit threads or 2) you don't take into account feedback/criticism. Not a great thing in a mod most of the time.

    I'll still give you a tentative support. You're in a great time zone, and as I said last time, you're bound to learn and grown as a person. I think you'd be able to become a moderator one day.
    Good luck!

    Is this a repost? Well, I'm changing my neutral from the other post to a support. You are super active and have been a lot more helpful. Good luck :)

    Hey Skyzi, let's get started :)
    The bolded red is just suggestions as to what you can add for your application to look neater.
    Do you know a little about Japanese or do you know a little of the actual language?
    Quite a lot of errors for just this one paragraph, don't you think? I probably didn't get them all, but I think I got most of them.
    Not as many errors here, but I still spot a few.
    In all of these I repeatedly see you saying "Im" or "i'm" instead of "I'm".
    I don't see you on as much as you say, but it's probably just our time zones.

    For the rest of the application, there are still grammar errors.

    Overall review
    Overall, your application isn't terrible. However, I do think you should add why you think you're special out of all the people applying and why you should be the one who's given the title. I believe you could make the quality of your application better, but still not make it too long. There are many grammar errors throughout the entire application, but most of them are the same errors repeated. I helped you out a bit, I think you can fix the rest. However, your activity is great and I see you helping out in chat online.

    Good luck

    Nice intro

    I think 'known as Skyzi' sounds a little better.

    AUSSSSSIIEEEEE

    I'm in Australia, and even when American is sleeping, I still see them come on.

    Wow, you sure do play a lot

    Just a quick review, you have some punctuational errors, and you have said 'I think I'm-' You need to sound confident. I suggest getting Grammarly for your errors, it helps a lot.

    For now, my decision is Neutral, I hope you could change my mind.
