What is your Minecraft name: My In-Game name is: Skarmick Why do you play Minecraft: I play Minecraft because it's an entertaining game. I play it because a lot of my friends play it as well. I really enjoy being able to come home, and hop on my computer, and hop on Minecraft, and come to a great community of people! I can easily relate to a lot of people on here. I also really enjoy the forums, and I wouldn't know about it, without Minecraft! What is your time zone: Pacific Time Zone (UTC-08:00) (California, USA) When are you usually online: I am online about 4-10 hours per day. I'd say usually from about noon to, 1:00 in the morning, counting breaks, and time off. Since summer break is beginning to wind down, I will only be able to play about 5-8 hours per day. I will do my best to be on at all time I can be. I can come on Minechat at any time necessary, even when I'm at school. How many hours a day can you play? How many hours do you actually play: Like I said above, I can play about 4-10 hours per day, it really depends on what my day looks like. I do like to get outside at least once or twice a day, I enjoy being active, so that shaves off about 3-4 hours of game-time... But the rest of the day, I am able to play whenever! How long have you been playing SquadCraft: I have been playing Squadcraft for about 3 and a half years. I've seen so much of this server, you wouldn't believe it. Ever since Noah left, I have found it extremely amazing Surge has managed to keep the server up and running, without much help at all. What's your favorite memory on SquadCraft: One of my favorite memories on Squadcraft was playing with FussyBucket1528, and alex_a_13 (R3ZZHD) and buying ranks the first night we joined, and stayed up all night long working on a base. I really like this, because It reminds me off the old days, when everyone played here, all of the old players! Where do you spend your time at SquadCraft: I spend about 95% of my time on Factions. I like to spend some time in the Hub server as well, because theres usually always somebody who wants to start a conversation, or needs help. I also check up on the other servers every now and then just to make sure that everything is going okay, and nothing needs to be reported about, or anybody needs help. Why do you want to be a moderator? What is your goal as a SquadCraft moderator: My goal as a Squadcraft moderator is to strive to do my best, by helping as many people as I can. About 75% of the time I'm on factions, I don't see any moderators online, while at the same time, there are players who needs help. I'd like to change this. I'd like to make sure every single player has the best experience possible on Squadcraft, and make sure everyone is as satisfied as can be. I also see people being racist, sexist, etc. Which is absolutely unacceptable. I'd like to fix this issue, because that kind of behavior can make other players feel uncomfortable on the server, which is not what we want. I'd like everyone to be treated equal and feel like they belong on this server. As a moderator, how will you affect SquadCraft: My effect on Squadcraft would to be to change the community as much as possible. As most of us know, the Factions community is the most looked down-upon community on the server. I'd like to be the one who changes that. It's pretty simple to do when you think about it, I'd just have to be active, and keep my eyes peeled for all rule-breakers on the server. Do you want Mod just to have Mod next to your name: Of course not. I would like to be mod because I want to leave a mark on this server, I would like to help the server as much as possible. I really appreciate how our current moderators are the same way, they do anything and everything they can just to help out people, which I really respect. What happens if you are not chosen to be a moderator: If I am not chosen to be a moderator, I will be fine. I understand how much time Surge puts into selecting each and ever moderator. Surge is a very smart owner, and if he does not except me, then I will understand that it's for a good reason, and everyone has their reasons! What kind of skills do you have: I have many skills, one of my greatest skills is being helpful. I really like being helpful. Not only in-game, but in real life as well. I also have cooperation, which I feel is an extremely necassary trait when it comes to becoming a moderator. Have you ever been banned? If so, why: No I have never been banned before, and I never plan to be banned! ^_^ Have you ever cheated, used hacks? If so, why: Yes, I have used hacks in the past. Now please, allow me to explain myself. As @EA_Sharks states, former hackers, can be better at catching people who hack. It really appeals me when people say: "Once a hacker, always a hacker." That is the most un-true statement I have ever heard. I can easily see players using kill aura, anti-knockback, etc. for this reason only. How do you treat younger players: I treat younger players just as any other players. Except I would be more on the lookout for people using cusswords, because I know most younger players aren't aloud to be around that kind of language. Do you use TeamSpeak or skype: I use both, I can be PMed for my skype, and I am on teamspeak at least once a day. List the things you've done to help the SquadCraft community and the SquadCraft server: - Gave proof of people using racial slurs/stereotypes. - Created guidelines for some sections in the forums. - Helped out dozens of players, asking questions, etc. - Done my best do anything and everything I can to stop people from swearing, etc. How many applications have you submitted before? When was the last one? I have submitted about 6 applications in the past, my last one was made on April 27th, 2015. Is there anything else you would like to say: I would just like to say, thank you to one of my favorite moderators, @EA_Sharks for inspiring me to make this application. I would also like to say, thank you to everyone, the community, for always being there, and helping me out! It really does mean a lot! Do you have any experience as a staff member of any organization? (doesn't have to be Minecraft) I have volunteered at many places, in real life. I have also, been a moderator on about 6 other servers. Tell us about yourself, about you, your character, personality and values: I am Josh, and I am 15 years old. Many people may think of me as immature, etc. I would just like to tell everyone that I have changed over my 4 month Minecraft break. If you think about it, I really think I have changed as well. I really enjoy helping people, and supporting others! ----- Thank you all so much for reading my application! I really appreciate it! Please remember, positive and negative feedback is more than welcome! I LOVE constructive criticism. Thanks again, and kind regards, Skarmick
Great app. You are very active with the forums community but you just started with the ingame community once again. In a little bit once you get more active ingame and are around for a bit longer you will get my vote. Until then I am neutral.
Nice application, however there are some things that could be done better. For starters there is the usual; content and detail. I would definitely add more, just in general, no specific spot. Second, go through and check the wording. For example: Not sure if you meant to put 'Its really appalling for me when..., because 'it appeals me' is like saying 'I like it'. You did do a good job with spelling and punctuation though. Just those little things really, to improve the application. +1
Thank you guys so much for the support. Smeags, I will get working on more detail right now, thank you!
Thanks skater, means a lot. And thank you Emu! It feels great to hear that from an amazing staff member.
I mean, you're a great person and all, you have to be one the nicest people on the network - however, I don't believe you'd be right for the moderation position.
I'm sorry but -1...I recall a few instances of you being pretty explosive in temper. good luck anyways.
I think you would be a good mod, but you have only been back for a little while, i think you should be on a bit longer, make some more friends, learn how the server works, then you'd be a great mod. But +1
Wow. You would make a great mod on SquadCraft, as you are VERY active. I R8 It 8/8 m8! But in all seriousness, +1 from me :3
I like you because you have many talents like @Apollo11MC . You could be a Squad logo maker and a moderator at the same time!
Oh...no. I only animated the very first one with the guy hitting the wall. The others I got online. I know how to do them though.
+100000000000000000000000000000 You are one of the coolest people I have met. Ever. I'm honestly shocked you haven't been accepted yet. <3
He is honestly a really nice and cool guy. He deserves the role more than anyone right now (No offense towards others that have applied).
I still +1 you, but you shouldn't have said this: https://imgur.com/ypYdlJa https://i.imgur.com/ypYdlJa.png
Why are all the well written apps rotting? All that's happening is that they're getting +1ed but that's it. Good luck Skar
Thank you for applying to become a moderator on Factions. We are sorry to inform you that your application has been denied due to the following: You quit. You may re-apply in 2 months time. Best of luck. Kind regards, Fastened.
