Obedience on a scale of 1-10: 8

Experience:
I have no direct experience being a moderator. The only experience I have is running my own craftbukkit server (as far as "moderating" itself goes). However, because of this I do have decent knowledge regarding a lot of the command functions offered by craftbukkit, essentials, and various other plugin commands, and I am very much open and willing to learning more. As far as organizing and being a figurehead (in certain aspects), I have been the GM(Guild Master, not Game Master) of a guild on world of warcraft and managed and lead the entirety of the guild's PvP activities (the size of the guild was around ninty people at the time with about fifty of them participating in PvP activities regularly.) I know that's not really the kind of experience sought after here but I figured it may be considered experience in some circumstances. I also have some experience in technical matters concerning P.C.'s and customer support as I went to a small vocational/technical school through-out high school, and as part of my classes and learned how to deal with would-be customers through VoIP, Remote connection, or walking through issues via real-time chat, as well as how to be professional even dealing with unknowledgable and/or rude people.
Any past offences:
I was banned for "Invis see" on kitpvp for 3 days by JelloCraftHD (Please see: http://squadcraft.net/threads/invis-see-ban-appeal.5132/ for more details. I know it's for another account but it was the exact same circumstance as well as the reason I was recording my second time playing).

Reasons you should be moderator:
Currently there is a shortage of mods attending SkyBlock, I know it's one of the smallest servers within SquadCraft and is not as big of a deal considering there is no PvP aspect, however there are still a lot of occasions where having a moderator present would be very beneficial for the players' morale and advertisement/spam prevention. I get along very well with the players on SkyBlock as well as all the other moderators I have met. I also understand that even though SquadCraft within MineCraft is a game to others, to the Moderators, Admin, and Owner that it is not just a game, it is a business that has income that is relied upon, and that the players themselves are the customers. I have a lot of understanding in the terms of running a business as my mother-in-law owns three businesses and I help manage and run them with the rest of her family so I understand how important customer relations and customer satisfaction is to a business. I'm not expecting to be accepted and be a great mod, but if I should be accepted, I would gladly accept any criticism, help, or direction concerning how to moderate or how to deal with certain circumstances or situations. I understand that becoming a moderator entails a lot of stress, spam, and taking a lot of hate, and I am prepared to live with that should I become a moderator.

Any extra things you want to add:
I would like to add that currently I am working a lot of hours at work(40-60 hours), working on sanding down and repainting my car, and I am also going to be taking college classes soon, so my scheduel to be able to moderate would be odd-ended and not a constant shift although I could still be able to get on 2-4 hours a day on the days that I work. On my off days I could put in anywhere between 4-8 hours wherever it may need be should something not come up(as in, nothing at all is going on within my household and I don't have any work that needs done at the time). I would also like to point out that contrary to this mod application, I am not all seriousness and that I really enjoy having a good time with the other players. There is a time to be serious and a time to have fun, after all not everyone wants mods that don't play and interact with them. In-game I enjoy helping new players and trolling with the players that I have become acquainted with, as social interaction in-game is always a morale booster for both parties. I know that in terms of experience I am sort of lacking, but as I only play Squad Craft regularly, I have no other opportunities to gain direct Minecraft moderation experience, I only have the knowledge of the command features that craftbukkit and essentials have to offer such as social spy, muting, jailing, etc. the problem for me would be how to appropriately use them in the circumstances presented to moderators.

 

This is a great application, You really seem like you should be a moderator.

Damn right

 

This is a really good app. I would be shocked if they didnt accept it.

 

I have been randomly selected to be a moderator, I don't have moderator privileges on the forums yet so if a mod would like to lock and move this thread feel free to.

 

Congratulations!
