Minersof49ers Mod application

What is your Minecraft name?

Minersof49ers, but you can just call me Miners. ^-^

Why do you play Minecraft?

I really enjoy the freedom of just creating whatever I want, and I love socializing on the forums and in game. Something about it is just enjoyable. I also love the command integration that minecraft has with command blocks. I'm also learning java, so creating contraptions with them makes minecraft so much more fun than any other survival game.

What is your time zone?

CST

When are you usually online?

Im usually on Tuesdays, and Thursday-Saturday. During any holiday, I'm always on.

How many hours a day can you play? How many hours do you actually play?

I can play 3 hours a day, 5 at max.

How long have you been playing SquadCraft?

About 2 years now. I first came on when my cousins introduced me to SG. I've really grown to love the server- so much that i left twice, but came back both times. I will never fully dismiss squadcraft.

What's your favorite memory on SquadCraft?

My favorite memory is when my cousins AJPirate and Boshy7, along with my sister Winterice11 & friend Redfox60, used to play on SG! I would spectate them when I died and help them survive, and they would do the same for me. We had such a wonderful time killing people off. :3

Where do you spend your time at SquadCraft?

I am usually on either Factions or KitPvP, and will continually switch between the two.

Why do you want to be a moderator? What is your goal as a SquadCraft moderator?

The reason I want to be a moderator is to help improve Squadcraft as a whole. Like I have said, I've played on here for about 2 years, and I remember how SquadCraft was- 300+ Players a day. My goal is to help get the server back to where it used to be.

I also want to limit the increasing number of rule breakers. I can not count how many hackers, people cussing, spamming, etc... I have seen in the past year. I want to do away with those people to make squad craft a more enjoyable server for new and returning players.

Lastly, I want to help the community. Squadcraft is a great server, and I intend on keeping it that way. There are many new players that often need help, but no mods are online to help them. Whenever I am on, no mods are to be found, so that would be the perfect opportunity to help those new players.

As a moderator, how will you affect SquadCraft?

I feel that I will greatly affect SquadCraft. I am motivated to help change this server for the better, and when I'm motivated, nothing stops me. I also promise that with the help of of other staff and the cooperation of the owner, I will make a difference on Sqaucraft.

Do you want Mod just to have Mod next to your name?

NO! Having a title is not my goal of becoming a moderator. Sure, it's a nice perk, but it's not why I'm applying. I honestly could care less about being dubbed a Moderator, I just want to help improve the server as a whole.

What happens if you are not chosen to be a moderator?

I'll be disappointed, but I will understand, and continue playing and supporting SquadCraft as usual. I might even try again for moderator if everything works out!

What kind of skills do you have?

I am currently learning how to program in Java, HTML, and Basic. I also like playing piano. ^-^
I also have experience on running a server, as I have set one up myself. I added custom portal, shop, and other plugins to it, built the spawn entirely by myself, and even made a webpage for it.

Have you ever been banned? If so, why?

Sadly, yes I have- for using Hacks.

Have you ever cheated, used hacks? If so, why?

Yes I have. When I used them, it was about 2-3 years ago. I was young and immature.

How do you treat younger players?

I treat them with respect and kindness. Young players make up the vast majority of Minecraft players, and are vital to keeping this server alive. I always try helping them out whenever possible and make sure they're having a good time.

Do you use TeamSpeak or skype?

I use Skype, but haven't used TeamSpeak before.

List the things you've done to help the SquadCraft community and the SquadCraft server.

1. Given input to surge on how the server should improve.
2. Reported rule breakers.
3. Help promote the server by telling anyone and everyone to check it out.

How many applications have you submitted before? When was the last one?

I submitted one, but took it down to some issues in the comment section.

Do you have any experience as a staff member of any organization? (doesn't have to be Minecraft)

I am a greeter at our church- which are in charge of making a good first impressions to new and returning visitors.

I have also been apart of an even to help prepare food for the homeless. Didn't have much "leadership experience" to it, but it still was good to feel that I was making a difference!

Tell us about yourself, about you, your character, personality and values.

Right off the bat, I would have to say that I'm a friendly person- I love making new friends. I am also a very thoughtful person, maybe too thoughtful sometimes... Whenever I hurt someone's feelings, or say something I shouldn't say to them, I end up apologizing to them. I don't like knowing someone was hurt because of me, and always try making that relationship right.

With all honesty, I do struggle with getting to worked up on Minecraft sometimes (aka: I lose all my Brock armor). This is an area of my life I do need to work on.

As far as my values go, I am a very moral person, and have high standards (Me being a Christian and all). I have never cussed in my lifetime, and don't intend to. This is probably the reason some people say I complain too much about someone saying something in chat, bad sword names, etc...

It also doesn't help when almost everything you believe is "Politically incorrect" .

Is there anything else you would like to say?

Thanks for taking time to consider my application.

 

Add a lot more detail.

 

Will do!

 

If u add more detail i will support this application!

 

Thanks!

 

I really like this application =P This is explains who you are and you are a very honest person! =D You get support from me! =D

 

No problem. i made an application too.

 

Aw, thanks so much! <3

Just added more detail in the "Why do you want to be a moderator" section.

 

Then it's a +1 I think you would fit this moderator perfectly as a lot of the staff has quit btw check out my application

 

Will do, and thanks so much again! I would really like to help out squadcraft!

 

No problem hope u get accepted

 

Added poll. Let me know what you guys think!

 

You should make a poll on this application instead on a separate website because I couldn't find the poll until I saw the link

 

Yes, one is on the application, and there's also the one in my signature.
[Edit] Taken out of signature and replaced with my new map banner. lol

 

That banner is legit. Okay, let's talk application! I like the detail, I'll give you a +1

 

Thanks! I really think that I could help squdcraft as a whole.
As far as the banner, yeah, it does look pretty legit. Click on it to see the thread for the map.

 

He lied... He cusses Ingame 4/24 because he can only play 4 hours. PLEASE DO NOT LIE ON YOUR MOD APP IF YOU APPLY. Anyways you need more detail. Ima say a -1 because you're a smart ass also. ~ Kind regards, Dylan (Sniper).

 

Please do not post untruthful comments on my application, as everything on here is 100% honest.

 

this app made me genuinely laugh, thanks for that. -1

 

I'm glad! The Bible says that laughter is like medicine.

 

Immaturity, also lied again. Thanks for the medicine!

You're his friend, of course you're going to say that.

 

That wasn't immature to say; everything on here is truthful. I have never cussed IRL, let alone on here. If this made your day, then no problem!

I have no idea who that is, but it was a nice comment. It had like 3 smiley faces!!

 

First I just met him and sure we are just or just became friends second it doesn't matter if we are friends or not it matters on the application and how he put his hard work and effort into it.

 

Lol Thanks!

 

You're rude, but you seem to be improving. neutral for now

 

Alright, I'll try working on that. Thanks anijan.

 

You got support from me Minersof49ers.

 

This aint lacking detail

Idk ukno, its a good app but in game ur whiny and a suck up. I'll give you a +1 cos I can tell you actually thought it through.

 

Thanks Twerkae! Yeah, sometimes I do get upset in-game. I'll try doing better at that.

 

-1

You know why.

 

you're the best chance at mods so +1

 

You'd say the same thing if your friend posted an app, so kinda hypocritical of you to say .-.

 

LOL, no.. xSplicePvP made a mod app, and I told him what I thought about it, you can even look at his application if you would like.

(He's one of my friends.)

 

Yeah, I understand how you feel. Still hoping I can change that though! ^-^

Thanks so much! That just made my day (along with seeing Starwars!) X)

Eh, maybe, maybe not. I don't know what he'd do...

That's good that you're not afraid to tell the truth- no matter who it is. Wish I could do better at that.

 

Wow your getting so much support br0 nice work

 

Lol thanks! ^-^
[NOTICE] Added my "Dealing with rule-breakers" rubric under the Anything else section. Let me know if it's too harsh/too weak on dealing with them. @Deluxe20 @Newb

 

My typing skills are excellent. xD

 

When forums is your life.
<_<

 

When sleeping & music is life

 

SHH YA PEASANT

 

When you realize what you said is hypocritical, cause you are the peasant

 

Witchcraft!

Lul When you have 1 friend... *sigh*

 

I don't know if anybody's called you ont this, but this is extremely flawed. First off, mods no longer have temp ban. Second off, your logic is extreme. To start off with a one hour mute directly after simply a kick... Then, to bring it up to 24 hours. Plus, to include temp ban for 24 hours after jail for 24 hours is dumb, as it should be the other way around. Jail you have to be on the server for 24 whole hours to get out. However, tempban you only are banned from that server for 24 hours. As for step 3, 5, 6 in profanity/adv, and step 2 and 3 in hacking, as stated in the rules, max jail, mute, or tempban is to be 12 hours. Plus, for advertisers, you shouldn't kick them and give them a chance to come back. All they want to do is take players from the server. Sorry for how scattered and probably non-sensical this post is.

 

Wow, yeah, I'll take that out. I see what you mean... Thanks TcW.

 

Not TcW

 

Sorry, TcWxFusions2

 

Well that account started off as a troll account, now it's an alt for someone. I'm unable to tell you whom it is, for I have promised that entity that I wouldn't tell anyone

 

Im so confused... :3

 

Good

 

X)

 

Thanks for all the support on my moderator application guys!

 

Hell no, you would jail people for killing you because you cant pvp for one and second you call hacks on everyone that beats you.

 

Splicepvp, he wouldn't. I know who he is. But if he did that, he would lose his positon.

 

Exactly why I wouldn't. Also, I've been hanging out on kitpvp and have been getting quite a bit better.

 

You can't really improve pvp on kit pvp as most of the players are bad so I would advise going to like kohi or something to get better at pvp.

 

Savage

 

I know people, like @leapster .

 

Also, in addition to what I said before, you advertise a youtube channel in your sig that does not record on squadcraft...

 

I just did a video of sqaucraft... Look in my "server side fun" series. I might do another too.

 

Ill put that to the test when i get my new laptop

 

Wut

 

Not enough detail -1.

 

Eh its alright could do with more.

 

not enough detail -1

 

It could do with more but it's not that bad.

 

If you really think it needs more detail, please explain where. This doesn't help me.

 

How will you affect SquadCraft as a moderator.

 

Okay, will update it. Thanks for the advice.

 

Don't worry about them they are just trying to get their messages up so they can be considered as mod. The detail is fine as it is.

 

I'm trying to get my messages up, but I am also trying to help people improve their mod applications.

 

His mod app is fine as it is.

 

I guess we will agree to disagree.

 

I don't think my app was even as detailed as this.

 

Just because you have lots of messages, does not mean you're set for mod. Just makes you sound desperate. You shouldn't be 'helping' other people with their apps.

 

Imo I think the messages thing is dumb. Half the people on here have second forum accounts on which they had hundreds, but they either lost info, changed accs, etc etc

 

The detail is perfectly fine.

 

I think you misunderstood the situation. You have to have 100 messages to get moderator. I'm not getting them up because I want to look cool.

 

Well then... Guess I'll keep it as is. I put as much as I could into it to begin with, and when I tried adding more, it ended up being way to much- making it dumb. X)

 

No it's recommended

 

Yeah, it shows that you are active, but it's not required necessarily.

 

You also have 100 messages and have the detail for it.

 

No, you actually flipped my reasoning. You're trying to increase your messages in order to get mod, which reveals how desperate you are for mod. Any chance you had of being 'cool' is probably not in existence anymore.

 

Yeah... Being desperate isn't going to get you anywhere. I check my notifications like twice a week on here, and that's it. If I get mod, Yay! If not, oh well, that world isn't gonna blow up or anything.

 

I still feel like that you are still both misunderstanding me. It is a requirement for you to have 100 messages to become a moderator. So I'm not doing it to show how "desperate" I am, I'm doing it because it is required of me. I'm also doing it to help out on the forums.

No it's a requirement I've been denied because of it.

 

And you trying to meet that requirement is a sign of how desperate you are.

Do you need me to show you a diagram for you to understand?

 

How is trying to meet a requirement a sign of desperation? So if I have an assignment do and it is a required for me to turn it in to get the credit for doing it am I desperate. I think that you may have the wrong definition of the word desperate.

 

See there's a difference. An assignment is something you HAVE to do. You're saying this as if meeting a certain amount of messages ensures you'll get mod. What I'm trying to say is that trying to get a said amount of messages hoping it'll get you mod is an aspect that is shit for mod. A person who actually is fit to be mod doesn't give a shit about his messages.

 

Okay sir no need for the language, and you are trying to imply things that I'm not actually saying. I am not at all implying that getting 100 messages will assure my position as mod, but I am saying for it to even be considered it must have 100 messages. A person who is actually fit to be a mod has 100 messages. I have in now way showed any aspects that should lead you to believe that I am not fit to be a moderator. I am sorry if you are misunderstanding what I am saying, but I don't feel that you should make any more comments on something you don't know 100% about. A moderator application is something I want to do and to do it I HAVE to get 100 messages.

 

You do not need 100 messages to get mod, nor to be eligible for mod. You are confusing message count with being active, which isn't a good thing. You don't have to be mod, but you're trying to get mod as if it were so important to you. It's not important, life wise. As for the server, it's dead so I see no point in you getting mod.

Also, what do you mean I don't know? I was a moderator on this server back when it was actually active lmao. So don't go assuming that I'm naive on this subject. If anything, I should know.

As for my language, I have a right to speak how I want. Be at ease, I'm not mad. I cuss somewhat regularly.

So, Tl;Dr

You're desperate for mod.

Looking at it from another perspective, if you want mod so badly, you're focusing on the wrong thing. You're supposed to become more active/involved, not get your message count up. This ties up with what I said countless times before.

 

Like I said earlier I am nowhere near desperate for moderator I have been told by a moderator that my application was denied because I did not have 100 messages. I am simply doing what I was told I was suppose to do to become a mod.

For example if you were told you must have 100 hours of experience of doing something before you can get a job would you not want to get those 100 hours of service out of the way as fast as possible so you can get that job in a way that is what I am doing here.

 

Firstly, this server has a lot of discrepancies. The message count thing is stupid. It's apparently used as a rule, when in reality it should just be used as a guideline for determining who should be a mod. If one has only one message, and their first message is a mod app, one can safely assume that they're desperate for mod. If you are trying to boost your message count in order to meet an invalid quota, and are so determined to reach it, it shows you shouldn't be a mod. You're too desperate for it. Yes. I've used the word a billion times already but your mind can't seem to grasp why I'm saying it. There's a difference between someone working hard to get good grades and someone just doing something to maintain mediocre grades. You're the latter.

There's quite the difference between real life work and an online block game. No job requires you to have a specific amount of experience in anything. Some require a degree, but a degree is something earned by hard work. You boosting your message count is not hard work. In fact, you trying to gain 100 messages as quickly as possible leads me to believe you'll resort to spamming, which is not good for a mod. A person genuinely fit for mod already has the desired qualities for mod. You trying to get something out of the way as quickly as possible to get mod is an aspect that isn't good for mod, and it actually proves you shouldn't be mod. For example, would you punish a certain amount of people just to get promoted to a higher rank? If you would, it shows how desperate you are for some commands and a tag next to your user name. That's not worthy of a mod. You need to actually be active, use proof when punishing someone, and act like you're a genuine person. After this, you shouldn't suddenly change just to seem fit for mod.

 

Well said.

 

Btw even morez lucks with your application.

 

Aw, thanks! <3

 

No problem my frined <3

 

Totally Agreed

 

Amen. I hate those conversations tbh...

 

+1............ur nice

 

Lol Thanks! I try my best. ^-^
