DanDeDonut Moderator Application I'd like to first thank you for clicking on my application as well as asking that you please reply honestly with whatever you feel, all I ask is that it stays relevant to my application. My application may look similar to something I previously created in the past (roughly about a year ago) I can confirm that the majority of the content within this application has been changed to update it to a standard I am happy to present to you all. Your in-game name: My in-game name is DanDeDonut. What timezone are you in? I am in GMT Timezone. What country do you live in? I live in the United Kingdom. What languages do you speak? I speak English but have sufficient ability to use tools such as google translate in order to communicate with people who speak in other various languages. Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc) I have several recording software such as Fraps and OBS in order to record relevant videos in order to execute my position as well as Gyazo and the general F2 key to take screenshots of chat offenses or advertisements etc. Why do you think you should become a mod? I have many qualities which I believe are good characteristics of a moderator: Activity: I understand activity is necessary and I'm aware as many people know that recently my activity over the last 6 months has decreased majorly. This can be altered however as I am beginning to have time on my hands to come online and chat with the people on the server, from previous staff I've seen how important it is to be active which is why I will dedicate as much of my time to doing so. I will also become more active on forums once again. Knowledge of Moderating: I have previously moderated on a small 30 player server, I understand the process in which you must go through with a report, gathering evidence, banning the player, reporting the evidence etc and I'm hoping Mineverse may be the next step as I believe that I could make a great addition to the team to help feed ideas into the community as well as assisting with altercations that would improve the server we all love. Respectful: Over the last few years, I have seen staff members who have had a make or break careers based on whether they are respectful to the players which I feel is as equally important as getting respect from the players which I feel I have earned during my time as a player on the server. There is a big demand for interaction between staff and players so I also understand that I have to keep a level-headed approach to situations regardless of my opinions and issues with people. I will be caring about anything sensitive and take everything seriously regardless of how minor a situation may look in my eyes. Thoughtful: I would class myself as a thoughtful character as I know that being lonely or new can be intimidating. I've been in that position before to ask the silly questions so hence why I already do but could further persist to help people who are new and upcoming in the server. I think of people before myself because I know how much games and servers can mean to people as it was a major player in my life as well. I think about all the people who need that extra help whether it's just a simple "Where is this?" or a more complex "What do I do about this issue?" regardless of the issue I will help them out then continue to what I was doing. Committed: Commitment to things is something that I have learned and gained through my own self-discipline and I will not go into telling you my life story but I became more dedicated to things and can really work at something when I set my mind to it. (Anyone that has my social media's will know what I mean). I've wanted this for a fairly long time now and I feel that looking back, even though I said I was mature enough, I clearly was not. Looking back I see the mistakes I made with my actions within the server. A place on the staff team is an amazing opportunity and if I was to get the chance I would definitely work at my full potential and stay committed to the server as it's done for me for the last few years. Honest: I'm Honest whether or not it affects someone in a good or negative way. This can be perceived as a good and a bad thing because I won't sugar-coat a situation. I don't see a reason to lie over a block game, to be frank. If there is something that needs the honest answer I won't hesitate to say it. Honesty is the key to being a helpful person. Constructive criticism is something that I value because it helps me improve my ability to do my role and so I also value other peoples honesty to tell me when things are wrong. Maturity: I'm now 16 and looking back at previous applications, I was 13-14 years old when applying which was a stage in my life where I clearly was not mature. Maturity is something that I grew up to achieve, I can deal with situations much better than before, I'm not going to sit and blow up about them or get myself into a fuss. I will simply overview situations in a non-bias manner to allow myself to assess the whole situation before making the correct decision for the server. Friendly: I would say I'm a friendly person to talk to since I am free and willing to just chill and have a chat with players or staff. This may be partly to me being a familiar face on the server with lots of people knowing who I am. I know from personal experience that it can be a bit intimidating coming and asking someone for help. I know that well since I have had this issue before. I keep up a positive attitude all the time to make other people's experiences enjoyable, and I help people through PM's if someone is a little upset or need some advice/help. Non-Biased: I see people say that ranks get more attention and are trusted more than people without ranks. I, however, don't believe this is true as there are some of the nicest people I have met do not have a rank. No matter someone's rank, I will be there to help them and do what I can. I'm not going to bend the rules for friends. No matter if it's a friend, a foe or a person I'm not acquainted with, a rule breaker is a rule breaker and I won't hesitate to warn, mute or ban them according to the rule they have broken. Determination: I've dealt with a lot of stuff in life as well as stuff going on within the server during my time and I am determined to pass through rough patches and issues. I have incredible determination to conquer any mountain that is put in front of me regardless of how many times it's going to take to do so. Persistence is also important to me since you can't always overcome things first time so you have to have a high level of persistence to get up and try again which is what I have. Helpful: I'm as helpful as I feel I can be. I will tackle an issue no matter how small or big with full force. I want to make sure everyone's game time will be enjoyable for them. I already answer to anyone that says hello to me. but I will still strive to make more of a conversation and be helpful to them. Trustworthy: I'm very trustworthy. I can be trusted to try my best to clear the server of rule breakers, and I can be trusted to sort out issues when they are given to me to resolve. I can be trusted with powers, and the rest of the mod team can be sure that I will not use them to my own advantage. Confidence: I'm a confident person. I won't let anything stop me from doing everything I can do to help out the situation. I will happily speak to anyone with no issue to get problems resolved and I can confidently help anyone in need that I come into contact with. If someone is doing something that breaks the rules, I am not afraid to stop them and give them the appropriate punishment. What do I want to achieve as a Moderator: What I want to achieve as a moderator is to help the community and the server reach its full potential and create a better environment for everyone playing, whether that be through banning hackers or handling chat offenses. Rules are put in place and I am happy to enforce them. I want to be there for people and be seen as a smiling face someone can always go to when they have something wrong.
