    Brawl Junior Moderator Application

    Please note: I won't be too active in-game or TS in the next month due to exams

    Read over this thread: https://www.brawl.com/threads/14752/
    If you do not meet the requirements (active, helpful, must have TeamSpeak, etc) do not apply yet; it will be an auto deny.
    Maturity - I do believe that I am mature, I usually don't complain about deaths and hackers, if I die I tend to laugh it off, if I see a hacker I would turn on my recorder and try to keep others silent about it.
    Activity - My activity in-game and TS has dropped over the last week because of exams, and may not be too much until mid-October, but during the previous 2 weeks I have been more active on TS and in-game, speaking in public channels and having friendly conversations with people in game.
    Helpfulness - I have a very good knowledge of HG, and I've tried my best to help out newer players, be it during pre-game or during the game itself
    Reporting rule breakers - I have been reporting any rule breakers I have found, coming in report champion for July 2015.

    What is your in-game name? - Mattyz_
    Previous names:
    - MattMarc1
    - MattM1PVP
    - MSNthreesome
    - MattM1PVP

    No guarantees I wouldn't change my name again, but if I do it should be something that has the name "Matt" in there
    Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes

    How old are you? - 16
    What time zone are you in? - SST (UTC -11)
    Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - English and Chinese. I also have access, and I am more than willing to use it if I need to communicate to someone. I have done this on a Brazilian server before.

    What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - I joined May 22, 2015, 5 days after MCPVP closed down. Since I'm applying for HG mod, I'll talk about HG. I've been an active player of Brawl, playing HG since it was in beta on Brawl up till now. I know how almost every kit works, and I know multiple strategies to win in HG. Besides that, I know how to soup decently.
    Apart from HG, I tend to play Party and Raid. I know quite little about Party, but I know a decent amount of stuff on Raid, which I can pass on to new players if they require help.
    What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - I have never moderated any public server, only a private server that I hosted, and invited a few friends to play on. On that server, I had to investigate someone for X-Ray. Although I didn't ban him because I didn't have enough evidence, I learnt a few important lessons from that:
    1. Never ban without sufficient evidence
    2. The difficulties of having to investigate someone for a hack that could be quite difficult to catch
    Continuing from point 2, although it may be difficult, and would require a lot of patience, I enjoyed doing so, and hope to bring that enthusiasm into the Brawl Staff Team
    Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? -
    1. I've seen a couple of threads complaining about a lack of staff, and one specifically talking about HG. I got a lot of encouragement seeing myself tagged in there, so I decided to be start fulfilling the necessary requirements to be a staff member, and hopefully revive HG to its glory days
    2. I've also seen complaints that staff aren't on TS and don't help people who are in the support channel, so if I become a mod I will go into TS and help people in that channel. This image proves my point Screen Shot 2016-09-07 at 10.10.33 AM.png
    3. I want to close the gap between the staff team and the community, not only by bringing up ideas to the staff team, but also (if it's allowed) notifying players that their idea has been suggested, and if it is implemented or not.
    4. My timezone is pretty much AU timezone, and I see a lack of mods online during my timezone. I want to be able to help players during my timezone, because they might encounter a hacker and have no mods to report to.

    Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Yes, on my private server. I had some hacked 1v1s with @/_ExtrasPvP, and I learnt a lot about the hack clients. I learnt about B-Hop, AutoArmor, AutoPot, and a lot more.
    Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - Only one legitimate ban so far, and that's on Brawl. I was kicked for 10 min for "abusing the /report", which is what I did. I typed in "/report <hacker name> force f*cking field". Very immature of me, and I've learnt from that, and I've never done that since

    What do you consider your greatest strength? -
    My greatest strength is my ability to remain calm in almost any situation. When HG first came over to Brawl and there was no anticheat, I had to deal with a lot of hackers. No matter the situation, I would always try to run and turn on my recorder. Even in recent times, with the anticheat in place, I still meet hackers in game. I would always run and turn on my recorder, or turn it on immediately and try to survive until I have enough evidence of the suspect hacking. I rarely lose my cool. Unfair bans, deaths, or anything that may make one lose his temper will not faze me.
    What do you consider your greatest weakness? -
    My greatest weakness may be my unwillingness to sacrifice a game for a new player. Although I do tend to spend time to explain to a player the basics of HG, I don't think it is enough. If I'm in a fight, I would focus on the fight instead, and tend to ignore players who are asking me questions. However, I've tried to improve on this aspect, and hopefully I will be able to help more players
    Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - HG, Raid, KB

    How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - 3(?)
    What is the date of the last application you submitted? - No idea, I can't see the denied section
    Do you have TeamSpeak? - Yes

    Anything else you would like to state? - Nothing much, besides wishing everyone who reads this a good day

    Hey Matty!
    I think you're a great person, so this is what I think about you and your application.
    Application: Your application contains some detail, but not as much as I would want it to have. I suggest you put a little more time into writing it next time and make sure to provide as much details as possible. -1.
    In-game activity:
    I'm 100% sure that you are one of the most dedicated HG players. Your stats show me that you are very active and I cannot say anything than a +1 here.
    Teamspeak: Although you said you cannot be on teamspeak the next couple of weeks / months due to exams, I have talked to you in the past and I believe you are a very friendly and mature player. +1.
    Forums: You currently have over 1.362 posts on the forums, which most of the posts are contributing to the HG community. You are also part of the Media team, which gives you an extra 'advantage' over others as it shows your dedication to Brawl. +1.
    Maturity:
    As I said before, you seem like a very nice guy with very high potential of becoming JMod. I believe you'd make a great mod and I wish you the best of luck.

    Overall: A big +1, good luck.
    ( PS: HG really needs some extra mods :stuck_out_tongue: )

    I definitely agree with the points you bring up for you to become a moderator, and you seem to be mature based on your history. By the way, do you plan on staying on wiki and media team if you become staff?

    You would active in the media and wiki team, but how would becoming a J-Mod affect your commitment to those groups?

    I'm not worried if your commitment to the media and wiki team drops if you become a JMod. As important as these groups are, we really need more HG JMods.

    Thanks @SoCool21 and @TheZombieKat
    If commitment is defined as amount of time invested into those teams, naturally it would drop by a bit, but I am pretty good at managing responsibilities, so I don't think there would be too much of a change. Besides, I can render a video while helping people on TS, or search for songs on my way home from school. If commitment is defined as passion, it wouldn't change :smile:
