    Hi I'm Brandon, Otherwise known as I_Individual on both Skyblock.org and Skyblock.net (whenever I'm on), I posted a recent moderator application x amount of months ago and then I went MIA for x amount of months. However I know have my laptop fixed so I can be on once again like I was previously. Anyways, please , if you're reading this thread do consider adding me to staff as I do believe I have qualifications and experience that should be utilized in the server. Thank you!

    Your in-game name: I_Individual

    How old are you? I am currently 1
    4 years old.

    What timezone are you in? I live in New York, so I live in the Eastern Time Zone ( UTC-5:00)

    What country do you live in? I live in The United States

    What languages do you speak? I can speak both English and I'm currently also fluent with Spanish

    Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?) I was never banned on Skyblock.org C: I've been a good player

    Why do you think you should be a mod? I think I should be a moderator because after the recent server reset, and new players are joining the server and it wasnt what it used to be, I figured the server could use a moderator to help ensure that all new and old players understand the server's version of skyblock and how our economy works and they are able to utilize all commands and abilities that skyblock.org has to offer so that they can have a good time! Not only this, but on multiple occasions people have complained about problems they've had with their island or with other players, and there might not always be a moderator on at the momentm so if I were to become a moderator, with a flexible schedule , small problems like this can be easily solve instead of trying to hail a moderator outside of their comfortable schedule.

    What qualifications do you have? I have few qualifications that I can provide , but what I can do with them can help the server. I'm currently an older brother of two so I do have a sense of teamwork and coordination when it comes down to doing group jobs. I'm very social, so I have a good sense of communication when it comes down to talking to other players. And obviously I can see myself doing this job so that shows a sense of courage and confidence.

    How long can you be active on the server everyday? I can be on for an average of about 2 to 3 hours per day, however since it is summer vacation, I should be able to be on for about 4 to 5 hours if I'm not out of the state or vacationing. However, if needed, my schedule is rather flexible so I just need to be notified so I can take the time out to help out the server.

    How long have you been playing skyblock.org? I've been playing skyblock.org for around 2 years now.


    Do you have any past experience as a moderator? Fortunately, yes I have. I've moderated multiple website with chat rooms, ( I don't want to advertise so yeah), and I've moderated for other minecraft servers as well.

    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to view my moderator application :) I really do appreciate it! If you have any questions or comments as far as the application goes or what I wrote feel free to ask in the comments and I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities. Once again, thank you and please do think about adding me to skyblock.org 's staff as I would love to help out both the server's reputation and it's players to ensure they're having a good time on the server.

    Im not really one to speak much, since I mostly help people with whispers while lurking the chat myself, but;

    I havent really seen you much online or rather speak in chat / helping people at all, it might be because of the 7 hour difference I guess. But I'm most likely one of the players with most hours on the server since the reset, so most likely I have a few in your playtime too?

    About your qualifications;
    You say you are "learning to be responsible" as an older brother. If you had 6 siblings or something then id say that would be more than welcome on the app, but well, as average, every parent pair in the world has 2.5 kids, which means being an older brother ain't that rare. The mods is probably more interested in your CURRENT qualifications. Saying you are "learning to be responsible", is pretty much like saying "If you wait a few more years, then im ready for the job!".
    About watching Sakura do her job, so do I .. I watch all the mods do their work, im even trying to help them out sometimes ^^ But well, thats not a qualification, thats something thats more or less expected, that you understand the responsibilities.


    TLDR;
    - Put actual current personal qualifications, something that makes you a good card for the server.
    - Speak more in chat and be more active. This is of course not a "must", but it helps the players notice you to give their voice.
    - You have a ton of smileys in your app, makes you seem a bit less serious than you would want for an app. Remember, a mod app is pretty much the same as a job interview.


    Sorry for seeming a bit harsh and good luck with your app.

    The application is very well written, but I think you should replace the bright colors with darker colors, such as a dark green or purple.
    I don't recall ever seeing you in-game, but I might have a while back, but just don't remember.
    Work on your forums activity aswell.

    Goodluck.

    I think your application is very nice, it's cute.
    You don't have to put a face after EVERY SENTENCE. Maybe cut back on the "c:".
    I don't play org a whole lot, so I can't comment on activity, but this is the first time I've seen you on the forums. To become a moderator, you need to be active in the community.
    I think your section on why you would make a good moderator is very well written, but fairly short. I would section it up into different specific traits you have. But that's just me.
    Once I start playing org more, and if I see you being active on there and on the forums, you will have my full support.
    Good luck.

    A bit of criticism never hurt anyone don't worry! And thank you I truly do appreciate it, I fixed all little things within the actual application so if there are any other things that could look better, just let me know.
