What timezone are you in, also, what gamemode do you play? I would like to add I have been away from home so I couldn't be on this weekend. However, is there a reason you do not know if you can trust me?

Are you referring to what @SurgePlayZGameS has said or the comments as a whole?

Remember, he has most likely not seen me on due to timezones. As he is in Australia and I am in American EST.

Twilight, you don't know how much I appreciate your support. After everything I did in the past, you could look past it and see it as just that. The past. I am aware what I did to you was by no means acceptable and I just want to say. I'm sorry. I would also like to add thank you for not only being able to accept that I have changed but go as far to support me for this position. Thank you.

Take timezones into consideration. I don't believe my signature can be considered immature. It is there in a completely joking manner, and it does not violate any forum rules. So I don't see that I should change it.
EDIT: I did however change my signature.

Introduction
Hello, my name is Colby but you most likely are more common with the name Maxamul. Welcome to my second Moderator application. After taking the feedback of my last application I have improved on the things it was criticized for. I was not intending to make my second Moderator Application so early after making the first but I received so much encouragement to make a second one that I decided I should. I am aware we are in no shortage of U.S. staff. But I'm going to do my best to convince you why I believe I should still be considered as a Mod. I would also like to add something I am not at all proud of, I have been banned more times than the majority of players. I can easily see why this would deter you from supporting me, however, I am going to do my best to explain I have changed for the better and wish to help this amazing server. This should seem like a subpar apology and explanation, and it is. I will be going into much greater detail in the application. So, let's get into my Moderator Application.
View attachment 62237
How old are you?
I am currently 15 years of age. I turned 15 on the 17th of January. While relatively young, I still believe I would be a good Moderator for Mineverse.

Your in-game name?
My in game name is 'Maxamul' previously it was 'maxamul' all lowercase. My account has been named some variation of Maxamul since I created my Minecraft account. I have no plans to change it in the future.

What timezone are you in?
I am in the Eastern time zone. (UTC−05:00)

What country do you live in?
I live in United States. More specifically Tennessee. As I stated in the introduction, I am aware that the vast majority of Staff Members are from the United States. Making my chances of getting it slimmer because of the abundance of players in the United States and the need for staff from other regions. But I still believe I can offer the server a lot as a staff, which I will go into greater detail in a few sections.

What languages do you speak?
I am only able to speak English. However, I have a few in real life friends that can speak Spanish. So if necessary I can learn some words.

Do you have then necessary means of recording evidence?
Yes, I have the standard Minecraft screenshot commands. For recording I have 'Screencast-O-Matic' a free recording software that allows 15 minutes of time to record. If needed I can buy the full version for longer recording time. I also have gyazo for screenshots of things outside of Minecraft.

Why do you want to be a Mod?
I'm going to get into why I think I believe I should become a Mod; but first I will explain why I want to become a Mod. My wish for becoming a Mod started a few months ago when I noticed how effectively Mods controlled and governed the server. I wished to apply but at the time was worried that I would not have any chance of being accepted due to my ban record. I have since been encouraged to reapply even with my ban record. Also, it is partially because of a love for this server that I may have not clearly shown in the past. Because of all these reasons I am interested in becoming a Moderator, however, I will now discuss why I believe I should be one.

Why should you become a Moderator?
I do not want to sound arrogant when discussing why I should be a Moderator. I want you to know I am not trying to come off as arrogant or brag in any way. I am also aware that you may not believe some of the things I will explain are true due to my ban record. However, I will explain why I still believe I should become a Moderator in the following detailed sections.

Maturity
While I have been banned in the past, people claim I am very mature. I tend not to hold grudges and act mature in chat. While you can easily disregard this statement with my bans mostly consisting of lack of maturity be it in chat or actions. However, I find that when assisting people I am mature and do my best not to offend them in any way.

Respectful
Like maturity, this can easily be dismissed seeing as I was banned for being rude on quite a few occasions. I am, without trying to sound arrogant and over confident in myself, a respectful person. I tend to listen to other people's ideas and try to take others peoples thoughts into consideration. If someone has an opinion I disagree with, I will often explain my viewpoint rather than being rude; and try to explain to them what I think. At the same time I listen to what they believe and consider it. This would be a good trait for a Mod, as Mods should be respectful and considerate of all players.

Non-Biased/Equal
Bias is something that can easily make a Moderator ineffective. If a Moderator was biased they would unfairly favor certain people and unfairly disfavor others. While it is human nature to favor some people over others, I believe I could be un-biased and treat all players equally. If someone I was associated with had transgressed a rule I would punish them accordingly. Not only because it is best to punish them so they will realize that what they did was wrong and refrain from doing it again, but because it is against the rules and has to be done.

Kind
I consider myself a rather kind person. Like the first two traits, this can be disregarded under the same concept I was banned for disrespect. However, players have said they see me as kind and considerate. I try to talk to my friends whenever they are on quite often, and when a player messages me asking for assistance I try to kindly assist them with what they need. Kindness will make a Moderator effective because they will be more liked by players. Making them more approachable by players, allowing them to handle more problems.

Knowledge of the rules and commands
I have a decent knowledge of the rules from previously being staff on other servers, which I will get into when I go over experience as a staff member. This also comes from speaking to Mod friends and learning more about Moderating from them.

/ban <player> <reason>
/unban <player>
/tempban <player> <duration> <reason>
/kick <player>
/mute <player> <duration>
/fly
/god
/tp <player
/tphere <player>
/tpo <player>
/tpohere <player>
/socialspy

I would also like to add that in a way my bans and punishments have given me experience with the rules. For instance, I was once banned on Skygrid for player killing. At the time I did not know it was bannable because it was so widespread. The rules at the time were left to interpretation on this part. Because I was banned I learned that this was in-fact bannable. While getting myself banned was wrong, it has given me experience with the rules and I learned things I don't know if I could have if I was not punished.

Perspective
While I take no pride in my bans, they have given me the perspective of someone who has been banned. This means I will understand that people make mistakes and do wrong things, also, I can better warn people and explain to them that being banned isn't worth it. This would discourage people from breaking the rules as they would hear advice from someone who did the same thing they are doing.

Loyal
I have made many suggestions to add to the fun, and improve the bugs of this wonderful server. But I believe if I was promoted to Moderator I could more effectively do this and continue trying to improve and enforce the rules of Mineverse. Mineverse is the only server I play and I put a lot of time into it; as well as this I put most of my time in the day into Mineverse. I find this server very enjoyable, and have worked to improve it as much as I can and believe I can continue to do so more effectively as a Moderator.

Helpful
I am considered helpful by people who talk to me. When they ask me a question I often do the best I can either giving them what they need, or explaining what they need explained. It is very important for a Moderator to have this trait because a Mod's job first and foremost is to help the server, which I intend to do to the best of my ability.

Skygrid
While I play Survival, KitPvP, and Skyblock. Skygrid is my favorite which I believe I have demonstrated by making multiple threads trying to get the server more attention. One problem I believe turns a lot of people away from Skygrid is the bugs and the rule breaking that runs rampant. Skygrid is an extremely underrated server, and I believe I could help it grow if made Mod as I would spend a majority of my time on Skygrid improving it.

Unphased by hate
Throughout playing Mineverse; I have seen Mods come and go, one thing that seems to cause them to leave is the amount of hate they receive, even now, I see Moderators receive negativity. I understand how this could make someone feel bad and lead them to resign as Moderator. However I believe there is a difference between hate and constructive criticism. If someone provided valid facts as to what I was doing wrong, I would do my best to change. However, if I received incorrect hate without proper reasoning, I would not be affected by it and continue moderating.

How long can you be on the server throughout the week?
Monday-Thursday: 5 - 7AM (If necessary) 3PM-10PM
Friday: 5 - 7AM, 6PM - 12AM (Anytime)
Saturday: (Anytime) 10AM - 12AM (Anytime)
Sunday: (Anytime) 10AM - 10PM

(When I say anytime and 5-7AM I do not mean I will always be on for that amount of time. I mean that, if necessary, I can get on for that amount of time. Usually I will not be on from 5-7AM, but if required of me I can be. As for anytime, the time will vary. However, again, if it is required I will be on for as long as needed on Friday past 6PM through Saturday.)
How long have you been playing Minverse?
I have been playing Mineverse for around two years. It was only recent however I began to take an interest in the forums and eventually, Moderator.

Have you ever been banned in the past?
This is the section I was most dreading. As I have previously stated I have been banned before. I will go over all of them including why I was banned, who banned me, when I was banned, and me explaining it.

Disrespect - This was during late July of 2015. I was banned by canucksfan44 and later made an appeal. At the time I did feel remorse and attempted to refrain from doing it further, around the time I got unbanned however, I was banned on another gamemode. Canucksfan44 and I have since become friends and I hold no hard feelings against him or vice versa.

Ban evasion - I also evaded the ban mentioned above. I evaded on a friend's account the first time. But the only thing I did was attempt to make an appeal to canucks. Then I proceeded to evade on another alt (Max__). I continued to play on this account for a time before it too was banned. This account was unbanned when my main account was unbanned, this is the only time I have evaded a punishment.
