NA Pile_of_Butts Moderator Application [Forum Admin | Global Moderator]

Welcome to my moderator application
Hello. For those of you who don’t already know me, my name is Pile. I was lucky enough to have worked for this server for a little more than 9 months and resigned in October of last year. I am applying to hopefully serve the community again and wanted to introduce myself and give you a little insight to my history here and hopefully help you learn a little bit more about me. I’m so excited to meet you. For those of you who already know me I would like to begin with an apology. I’m sorry I let you all down. I never should have left you and I regret it everyday. All I can do now is hope for your forgiveness and a chance to make it up to you. I gave this server 110% and if given the chance I promise I will give it 110% again.

My message to Merks
Cyp, I should have come to you when I was feeling frustrated and wanting to give up. I never should have posted that resignation thread and I am sorry. At the time I was under extreme stress. I felt like it was in my best interest and in the best interest of my son that I step down from staff. I betrayed your trust by leaving you without talking to you first. I promised I would never leave you and I did. You were my friend, and I blew it. I know my decision to leave broke your trust and I may never get the chance to get that back, but please know I truly am sorry. I would give anything to get back to where we were a year ago. I would love to serve you and this community again. I know you know that. I hope that you find it in your heart to let me back so that I may help this staff team and offer my hand wherever I can. Thank you Merks.

Why do you think you should become a mod?
I am a long time member of this server community since October of 2013. Over this time I have gotten to know more members than I can count. I have made long lasting friendships as well as helped lead some of the older staff members here still today. I work well with people and adapt easily. I was a highly dedicated staff member here for more than 9 months. I lead a team of staff members and didn’t need a rank to do so. I showed respect to each and every staff member as well as respect to each and every player I met in game or here on the forums.

I present a warm personality that I believe promotes positivity and happiness. I like to keep people happy and to serve. Should I be accepted back as staff on this server I promise to serve each and everyone of you to the best of my ability. I am not that great at describing myself but I will leave it open for comments here from some respected members of the community and let you decide. Some traits I have that will assist me in moderating are:

Organization
I work in price management and have been the assistant lead for almost 14 years with my company. I am required to list locations of every item by UPC code along with it’s location on the shelf throughout my entire store. This requires me to be highly organized in my work… and quite possibly borderline obsessive compulsive.

Time management
Being a single mother, working a full time job as well as admin’ing a minecraft server calls for a ton of my time. It would never be possible if I wasn’t good at managing the time that I have to complete all my daily tasks. I’ve been working for servers for close to 2 years now and feel that I have gotten quite good at dividing my time.

Friendliness
Like some sort of a lifelong friendly disease, I am friendly to no end…
I love meeting new people and getting to know what makes them tick. Making people's day a bit brighter always brings a smile to my face and I never miss an opportunity to help people.

Experience
I have worked for several accomplished servers over the last 2 years and feel that I can use that experience here to improve wherever needed. I've went into greater detail below.

Leadership qualities
It seems wherever I go and whatever I do I end up leading. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing I just wish I knew what it was about me that made it happen…
Maybe my age, or experience.
Possibly my personality and attitude.
Maybe a combination of all?

Productivity
In my 22 years of working an 8 hour day, I have learned how to be quite productive. Staying on task and not stopping until I get the job done is part of my everyday routine. I have to be productive or I would never get my work done. This goes for the workplace and at home.

How long can you be active on the server everyday?
1-3 hours in game.
4-8 hours on the forums.

How long have you been playing Mineverse?
Since October of 2013

Have you ever been banned in the past?
Yes, for upsetting the boss. (Sorry Merks ily <3)

Do you have any past experience as a moderator?

mineverse.com: "Moderator" January 18th, 2014-Oct.4th, 2014 (9 months) Resigned.
http://www.mineverse.com/members/pile_of_butts.819/

[Internal Promotions]
Head Guard: May 2nd, 2014-Sept. 11th, 2014(4 months)
Prison Warden: Sept. 11th, 2014-Oct. 4th(1 month)

I was a moderator in charge of leading a staff team as well as helping in some of the promotion process. Leading the staff team was unofficial, and not required of me. I never planned for it to be that way, but my age and motherly personality had me leading without trying. I was a highly respected staff member, and dedicated more time than I can count to the server and community. As MV was one of my first public servers it holds a special place in my heart.

Skywars.com: "Moderator" July, 4 -Sept. 10 (3 months)
Skywars is a large server averaging 300 players at any given time.
I had normal moderation duties that included chat monitoring as well as handling any client rule breaking.

Skyblock.net: "Forums Moderator" August 2nd - Oct. 4th (2 months)
http://www.skyblock.net/members/pile_of_butts.20146/
It is a fairly large server, averaging 300 players with a large forum user base. I was the only forums moderator in charge of keeping the forums nice and tidy. All front end work.

TheHeliosNetwork: "Forums Administrator" "Global Sr. Mod" Oct.16, 2014-Jan, 2015(4 months)
Helios was a small hub server that offered Creative, Prison and Factions.
I held the highest ranking staff position next to "Admin". I was given full admin panel and was shown how to use/moderate my way through XenForo backend. I helped create nodes and learned some basic CSS coding. Forum permissions, ranks, anything basic level backend.

TheChunk: "Helper>Moderator" Oct. 4th, 2014-Feb, 2015(5 months)
TheChunk is a large hub server averaging 500-600 players. It offered several mini-games all of which were custom and original to the server. I had regular moderator duties in game.

CraftCadia: "Site Support/Administrator" "Staff Manager" January,4th 2015- Present
[Internal Promotions]: Helper>Forums Admin>Moderator>Site Support/Staff Manager(core staff)
CraftCadia is a relatively large server averaging 300-400 players. Currently I am site support/administrator in charge of running the buycraft webstore([email protected]) as well as full admin panel access on forums for everything needed backend. Support is opped in game as it's Support's position to promote and demote members of the staff team and fix bugs and issues as they arise. I also handle rank purchase issues or anything buycraft related. I have console access although that will change as we are moving away from what we are using currently.
As far as forums for CC, I built nodes and categories. Manage permissions within to restrict access as well as give default forum users access to navigate freely. While staff on CC I have had much experience in XenForo and custom CSS coding for our prefixes, staff ranks and banners.

Which two servers would you like to moderate?
I am applying for full global moderator permissions so that I may optimize my full potential as well as Forum Administrator(if the position is at all possible). I would like to extend my experience and help utilize my abilities to be as useful as possible.

I made this app only to help this server should Cypriot and Crew feel my help would be useful.
My way of giving back to the community I left behind.
I would give anything in my power to help this community once again.
Thanks for reading.
