Guide to being a Moderator!

Dear, Subject... So you want to be a Moderator Aih?
Follow this guide to success!

Alright, everyone.. Today I'm going to talk about how to make a Moderator Application, and the aspects to doing your job..

Application:
I feel like everyone wants to help the community at one point.. So this may be good for you!
Every application contains:
- Good Detail (Make sure every question has a good 5-10 sentence explanation, accept Age etc.)
- Grammar (Use comas, periods, fluency, quotes etc.)
- Common Sense (Don't be a idiot)
They also want:
- Name
- Age
- Detail
- Experience
- How will you help
- How long have you been playing
- Why do you want this rank
- Timezone
- Do you have, TS, Skype, etc.
- Do you report anyone daily?

There's many more, but those are just the basics. . Here's a example I made:

Dear Administration,
My name is Ryan, and I'm applying for moderator today.
I want this job because, I'm very trustworthy and I report daily. I'm very responsible
and I understand that this is a serious job, and will do my best!

I'm currently 10 years old, and going to turn 11 in 2015.

I have good experience in being a Moderator, I have owned about 2-7 servers...
Once, I created a server with about 14 Minigames with only 11 Plugins! I'm very
active and love to help out communitys. Especially if there's creativity involved!
-
I have fluency in 2 coding languages and learning many others...
- HTML (Got it down)
- JavaScript (Got it down)
- PHP (Still Learning)
- Python (Still Learning)
- C# (Still Learning)

I can help the community, by:
Keeping the Chat Clean
Reducing Drama, Fighting
Making sure everyone's having fun
Finding hackers, Fixing/Finding Glitches

I've been playing for about 2 Months, and understand the servers pretty well. I do go on teamspeak, and I'm looking forward to meeting more people. I've been on the forums for 1 Month, and been on teamspeak for about 1 1/2 Months. I'm pretty good at keeping my distance between me and rule breaking.

My timezone is, 9:00 AM UTC - Canada/USA Time.

I also do report players daily, I make sure nobody's failing cause of those pesky hackers! - I've made about 5-13 reports, this way everyone has the #1 experience! You can check some of the reports out here:

My skype is: (Skype name)
My teamspeak is: (Teamspeak name)
My minecraft IGN is: (Minecraft name)

I hope this is enough information, and I thank you for reading it!

That's my example application, I know it's not everything but it's the basics. Let's move on..

Being a Moderator:
Moderating the chat, and servers is a very serious job. You can't go lolly gagging until you think everything's fine and taken care of. Moderator's can have fun to, you don't have to moderate all the time! - Mainly, Moderators play the gamemode/game their on, and do their job at the same time! This way they can't hang out, and help the community at the same time!

Moderators Main Jobs:
- Moderate the Chat
- Reduce Drama
- Remove Spam
- Ban Players
- Find Hackers
- Find Glitches
- Keep the community safe!
- Being nice, and loyal
- Being helpful to others

On the forum:
- Moderate the Chat
- Reduce Drama
- Delete Spam
- Move Posts, (If in incorrect section)
- Reduce cheating with-in: Liking themselves, etc.
- Inform users on the latest news
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank's guys, I know it's long but I appreciate you reading it!
Good luck at moderating, and applying!

Regards,
