    Within the past day there have been three (I think) moderator applications plagiarized. It's not easy to get away with and you will be caught. Plagiarism is illegal and will not be tolerated in this forum. People put hard work, effort and time into their applications and for you simply to hit "ctrl A" and then "ctrl C" is completely inexcusable. If you don't have the effort or time you make your own, original application, you're clearly not fit for moderator. If you can't be bothered to take a minimum thirty minutes of your time to write original answers then how do we know you can be bothered to follow the rules and actually moderate a server? It's simple, we don't. By plagiarizing, what you're telling everyone is that "I want to be staff, but I don't really care for the community nor do I want to put in effort. I just want power". This is absolutely appalling and needs to stop.

    If any part of your application is taken from an existing one, you will be instantly denied and probably never excepted in the future. You label yourself as an unfair, dishonest person when you do this. We don't want or need dishonest and unfair mods.

    Please, if you want to become a moderator, the best and only way to do so is to write your own application.

    @xSkaro might have something to say because you're the one denying all of them.

    To summarize: DO NOT PLAGIARISE!

    Just saying if someone's lazy enough to plagiarize, do you really expect them to read this? ;p

    Ctrl + A and ctrl + C is correct to copy the app, so she's fine

    I do not tolerate plagiarism nor do I accept it. Those of you who decide to do it, be my guest. If you wish to waste your time creating useless applications, I will tell you now, you will be denied. Some of you may say it's a joke. Well guess what? Joke applications are not tolerated either. If you think you can lie, it's not that easy. As for those who don't know the rules, you are required to wait 2 months until you can make another application. So plagiarizers and jokers, you're only postponing your time to post and extremely lessening your chances of becoming staff. So I suggest you consider what I've said.

    You may repost your own application that was denied but if it was denied before, why would you do that? To answer your actual question, yes, it is fine but I recommend starting from scratch.
