    Introduction
    Hello everyone and welcome to my moderator application. If you have read my old one, It will be different to it. I have not been active for the past week due to being in Italy, if you want to know more about that, message me and I will tell you more about my holiday. Please leave a reason for what ever rating you give this application and enjoy!

    How old are you?
    I am currently 13 years of age.

    Your in-game name
    My in-game name is GbDuck , I have a long list of names so namemc me if you want.

    What time-zone are you in?
    I am in the GMT time-zone.

    What country are you living in?
    I am living in the good old country of England!

    What languages do you speak?
    I speak fluent English, a very small amount of Chinese and I am learning French at school.

    Do you have 2FA enabled? Yes/No
    I have recently enabled this so yes!

    Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc)
    Yes, I use the minecraft screenshot system for screenshots and Fraps to record.

    Why do you think you should become a mod?
    Here we go... :p

    Maturity

    I am not a person who goes and starts a flame war for no reason at all. I do admit I have my times when I can get a bit irritated. I don't spam chat or scam people for whatsoever reason. When people are arguing, I try to get them to calm down but they never listen. I think that if they don't calm down, I could give both of them a 5 minute mute.

    Helpful

    I am always trying to help out as much as I possibly can on this server. From stopping arguments and recording hackers and reporting them. People always ask me 'Can I please have kit god.' I give it to them, but if my kit is still on cool-down, I would tell them how long they would have to wait for and they don't really mind. Also if someone asks a question in chat I am quick to respond and help.

    Respectful

    I respect all players even if we have had a dispute in the past or if they hate me. Believe me, some people really hate me (Not mentioning any names), I try to make a peace offering because I don't want to get hate every time I log into Mineverse.

    Hackers

    Many people hack on Mineverse and always get away with it. There are never any mods online to ban them or tempban them. With me as a moderator, I can be on Op PvP and KitPvP a lot! It isn't fair that hackers just come online and hack. I think I can ban a lot of people who hack.

    Disrespect

    People are disrespecting too much on Mineverse and they are
    upsetting people's feelings by doing this. People are quitting constantly due to people disrespecting or hating on them all the time. As a moderator I can put a stop to this by either muting them, temp banning them, banning them or kicking them.

    Loyal

    This may not seem like something important but it is really. To be a moderator you have to be loyal to the server and play it a lot, I have seen people doing applications and then quitting the next day. I love Mineverse and I can't say any other server is anywhere near Mineverse in my opinion.

    Honest

    A moderator needs to have trust from a ton of players. To do so, you must express your opinions and don't lie to make yourself seem like a cooler person. You have to be honest, because if you don't, you will never get anywhere in life.
    Active


    I am always active on Mineverse, I play it for as long as my parents will allow me on my laptop. If I am holiday, I take my phone and be active on the forums because I cannot take my laptop with me because my parents say it takes up too much space. :ah.

    Friendly

    I can have my times when I get irritated or annoyed at someone who isn't being fair. But most of the time I am being friendly to the community and not breaking rules.

    Welcoming

    Everytime in chat is says Welcome (player name) to Mineverse, I always message them saying welcome to Mineverse. Also I do the same on the fourms. I always check the newest member link and leave a message on their profile saying 'Welcome to Mineverse forums! Enjoy your stay'.

    Fun

    I am not one of those people who have an awful sense of humour, I try to entertain others if they are feeling down. I like to joke around with people doing whatever I feel like.

    Fast at typing

    I am always quick at typing to respond to messages of those in need (unless I am lagging like crazy then I can't).

    Useful commands.

    I know a couple of commands which will help.
    /ban [player name] [reason] ~GbDuck
    /kick [player name] [reason]
    /mute [player name] [reason]
    /temp ban [player name] [time]
    Aware

    I am very aware of the things that are happening the chat. I'm always looking at things to keep updated of my surroundings. If someone in chat is asking for help I always answer if I know the answer to their question.

    Listening

    When I receive long messages to do with something, I don't just ignore them and carry on with what I am doing, I read all of it and respond in the appropriate way. Even if someone is talking about what has happened in their life, I am always listening/reading. Also if someone is upset I always remind them that I can help them and make them happier in what ever way I can.

    Fair

    As a moderator I would be very fair. I would listen to both sides of the story and decide which one seems more accurate for the situation. I would not just accept one side without bothering to read the other side. That is a trait that all moderators need to have and not all do.

    Capable

    Many mods resign from their jobs because they cannot handle the pressure from reports and duties they have to perform. I am very capable to do those things because I have a lot of spare time.

    Lack of EU moderators
    As many of you know, there are very few moderators in England. Which means in my time-zone, hackers come out and play. Most of the moderators are American. That's ok but Mineverse needs moderators from around the world which will keep the server in order.


    How long can you be active on the server everyday?
    Mondays-Fridays: 3:30- 6:30 6:30- 10:00
    Weekend: 7:00- 11:00 4:30- 6:00 6:00- 10:30

    How long have you been playing mineverse?
    I have been playing since about January 2014.

    Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & In-game)
    Sadly I have been banned in-game once. I had a small 1v1 against a guy in OP PvP but I was good back then. He reported me but I was NOT hacking. I was banned but unbanned after a appeal.

    Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
    I was a mod on a server with about 30 people playing at once. Also I was Head Admin on a small server that shut down with like fifteen people on at the same time.

    Do I meet the requirements for moderator?
    I do meet the requirements.

    Outro
    Thank you for reading my moderator application. As I said earlier please leave a reason for what rating you give.

    Thank you all,

    GbDuck

    I have never seen you in-game, but this can easily be attributed to timezone differences. You are active on the forums and do a lot of reports. On top of this your application is very detailed and you seem capable.

    Oh I'm quite sorry then! Then forget about what I said about me not seeing you in game. You have my full support. I'm sure you would make an excellent Mod.

    No support. Though I'm your friend, I shouldn't be biased:
    • You're pretty insensitive when you talk in-game
    • You've just rejoined Mineverse after a while (I think?), and I think you should wait longer
    • Slight immaturity, but a good friend overall.

    I believe I have changed since we last saw each other in-game. Thanks for your opinion anyway. :)

    Is it because we have not seen each other? It could either be time-zones or Gamemodes? What do you play?
