Me being a mod
Post: #1
1. Why do you want to be a Moderator?
Welp, I have played video games for a long time, and have not been given the responsibilities of a staff member on any game for a long time. Since darkspin is the only minecraft server I play on anymore, why not keep playing as a mod?

2. What do you think it takes to be a good Moderator?
Well, they need to know when to be calm and deal with situations and conflicts between players. They also need to know when to use the kick and ban commands properly. If they ever need advice on when to use these commands, they should ask a more experienced staff member immediately.

3. Have you played at least 80 hours?
Umm, I have 446 hours and I think thats enough :D

4. Tell us a little bit about yourself, your gameplay and what you think of the server.
Well, I have been playing Minecraft for 3 years now and most servers I went to were not nice communities. I found abusive staff members everywhere and griefers at every turn. I realized that instead of going around it, I should stand up and get a staff rank to rid of these problems. I also love to help people out. It makes me feel good when I see that people are satisfied with my assistance!

5. Anything we should know about?
Well, I go to a really hard private school (not bragging) and am on the number 1 14 & under club water polo team in the country. Due to these things, I cannot go online during the weekdays. Sometimes I can come online and say hi, but most of the time I only play on the weekends. I also live in California, so I live in a different time zone than others. So, when it is 12:00 AM for some staff members, it's 9:00 for me so I can stay on and take people's posts for awhile. Oh and, I'm 14 so i'm not immature.

6. Have 3 admins confirmed they trust you? If so, ask them to post a comment approving on your application. Or, any admin can post here.
Staff ranks have applied, but I will let them post their opinions below.

7. If you are confirmed, do you swear not to use your powers for stupid/irresponsible/revenge purposes?
Yes, I swear in the name of Skyrim and her people.

Do you agree to the fact that if you are inactive for a month, your Moderator rank will be revoked?
I agree. I will make sure that I'm not immature.

Thanks,
Jawa

Very good app! I give 17/10. My vote doesn't "count" but I say hell yes.

Eeyyyeeeee dunno. Frankly I don't think it's looking good for you know, with how often you're immature.

I am with Mikey here.

I don't think that you are actually, ready simply because you act immature still, and you are easily swayed.

The application was great. Really good. The only thing that I had an issue with was that you could only come on during the weekends. ..
I find you a little bit immature and incessant to be a good mod, and too easily swayable.
So yeah, nope from me.
Oh, and age doesn't change immaturity.

It isn't his first time.

At least he comes on sometimes, and I have seen him on during the week occasionally, though not for nearly as long.

Please provide an example.

Generally during chat, Jawa is a bit pushy and incessant, which I believe stems from not very much patience, which he admitted to me myself. Jawa managed to piss off Zahn an extraordinary amount (more than his usual), by chatting incessantly and relentlessly, attempting to get Zahn to do something for him, whilst Zahn was resolving another issue.

Also, he has annoyed me a few times. For example, when I was attempting to resolve a grief-and-steal episode, he constantly asked me to change his nick (or something), even after many "Stfu i'm busy"'s.

By swayable, I mean after hearing a half-decent proposition, he's concreted in. Then, after a small talk from the opposing side, he's out. I don't think that is a good quality in a Moderator.

And yes, I have seen him on weekdays, just nowhere near as much as I'd like. So yes, nope from me.

Ah. All valid reasons, some which I haven't noticed... but then again, he's a good friend of mine, so I could be slightly oblivious to these traits.

I understand that I have admitted that I am somewhat impatient, but that does not mean that I have a short temper. Also, the steal and ban situation was completely oblivious to me, I think I was working on my ugly palace in Whiterun. Secondly, Bacon, you do not have a complete understanding of how Jojo and I pissed off Zahn, because you were afk and we were in a skype chat. And when two people are trying to sway me over a subject, I try to listen to both stories and make a compromise that is inbetween so I do not cause displeasure between players on the server. So, I do not think you completely understand my qualities that can serve as good for the server.
