    Brawl Junior Moderator Application
    Before you read over my application, I would like to address my resignation thread about a month ago. I feel as though resigning when I did was a mistake. I had been largely inactive for an extended period of time and had plans on returning in a few months, however, I have recently become much more active and engaged with both the community and the game mode. If you feel I need to wait longer, just let me know. Thank you.

    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.

    What is your in-game name? - My current in-game name is Aboves

    Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes, my Minecraft account is fully migrated and secured.

    How old are you? - I am currently 14 years of age.

    What time zone are you in? - I am currently in the Eastern United States time zone, (EST)

    Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - I can speak a decent amount of Spanish, however, I am currently taking classes at my school in order to further better my knowledge of the language.

    What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - I have a rather vast knowledge of Brawl, as I joined in the fall of 2013. Upon joining Brawl, I frequented War, long before the development of the many servers of today even began. I continued to play War for years until I grew weary and took a bit of a hiatus. After returning some months later I began even more invested into War. I played War for years, up until around the beginning of 2015, when I began to become infatuated with WarZ. After getting into WarZ, I began to accumulate some friends, however, some of the community was not too fond of these friends, and I began to see why people considered WarZ to be the most toxic game mode on Brawl. However, I continued to persevere and gained experience along the way. As I grew more in-tune with the game mode, I began chasing the position as staff. I had always had a perfect record with no infractions and knew that my maturity was good, so I began becoming helpful and active and lo and behold I was accepted as a Junior Moderator on June 27, 2015. After becoming a member of the staff team I began to further my knowledge of Brawl past barriers that restrict normal players.

    What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - I have a good amount of experience with moderating, and I have held 3 positions in the past.

    1. I held the position of Moderator on a small server owned by a friend. I never was able to accomplish much however because the server was lacking in a player base.​

    2. I was a chat moderator on a paintball server. My job was simply moderate chat, much like a JMod does on Brawl.​

    3. I was a staff member here at Brawl, and I held my position for a year and a half until I resigned in December of 2016.​

    Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - I wish to become a staff member on Brawl in order to assist with the hackers, spammers, and glitchers that frequent WarZ. As of the time I am writing this application, the current staff members of WarZ are all on the same team, which makes it near impossible for every WarZ server to be moderated, despite there only being 4 servers. I also have a personal vendetta against DDoSers, and people who partake in this act upset me. I would like to be able to catch on to potential DDoSers and help the community simply become less toxic.

    Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Never before have I utilized a hacked client either for personal use on a single player world, or to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

    Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - I have never been legitimately reprimanded on a public Minecraft server. I have, however, been illegitimately banned on a server, something which I would be more than happy to elaborate on if necessary.

    What do you consider your greatest strength? - I consider my greatest strength to be my patience. In circumstances where a person is being rather stubborn, I have the patience and experience in order to wait out their frustration in order to defuse the situation.

    What do you consider your greatest weakness? - I would consider my greatest weakness to be my anxiety. I am a rather anxious person and can get nervous and defensive at times. I can be very critical of myself, due to experiences in my personal life. If another person were to exploit these small things that I am so critical of myself, I can become rather defensive and upset.

    Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - I am most active and solely play on WarZ

    How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - In the past, I have made 3 Brawl staff applications.

    What is the date of the last application you submitted? - The last application that I submitted was on the 23rd of June, 2015.

    Do you have TeamSpeak? - I do indeed have TeamSpeak, and I have a working microphone as well.

    Anything else you would like to state? - The only thing I would like to speak upon is again, my recent resignation. I stated my reasoning and explanation at the very beginning, so I need not state it here.

    If your application is accepted, you will move on to an interview on TeamSpeak.

    Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

    Want my honest opinion? You're ready by all means, but after resigning, all staff goes through the same withdrawl you're feeling right now. I think it's too early for you to come back. You probably feel like it was a mistake to resign because you resigned not too long ago, and that's fine. I just think you need to wait a little bit to be sure this is what you want.

    Thank you for your response, and I understand what you are saying. My only point I'd like to bring up is that it only took me only a few days to realize my mistake. I was happy without staff for an initial day or two, until I began to see the extent of rule breakers that I could no longer deal with. Especially when no other staff was online, or no staff member could deal with an issue at that time. I assume what your getting at was the issue of being used to having the powers, and then no longer possessing them, but my reasons for reapplying were not because I wanted the powers again just to have them. I wished to reapply because I genuinely feel like I resigned prematurely, and realized there was still much more I could have helped with.

    I've been consistently talking to you ever since you resigned, and I can tell that you're ready for this.

    That's a very good reason, don't get me wrong. The only problem I have with that is that it took you becoming extremely inactive and then resigning to realize that you could've done more. I'm not saying you wouldn't be a good mod, because you would. I just feel like this all happened way too close to each other.

    You were a good mod, and since you resigned I've wanted you to reapply. Friendly, active and mature. Best of luck.

    +1, Would like to see/talk to you more on TeamSpeak, but other than that, I think you're definitely ready.
    Best of luck!

    I haven't seen your activity drop since your resignation. You did a great job as staff previously, and I have no doubt that I will see your helpful nature benefit Brawl greatly if you are repromoted. +1.

    You were a great previous staff member, my only concern is that you did resign kind of recently, but I see you have maintained your activity, you're very friendly and mature. You fit all the criterias, overall, +1. Best of luck.
