Accepted Speedcell's Raid Junior Moderator Application

Brawl Junior Moderator Application
​

Disclaimer: I'm allowed to use information from my last application after asking Canoodle a week ago. Since the last one was really long I have decided to short it in order to cover the most relevant stuff and make it easier to read.

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?

- Speedcell

https://namemc.com/profile/Speedcell.2

Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? -

- Yes, it is. No one has access to it but me.



How old are you?

- I am 18 years old [01/16/99]

What time zone are you in?

- GMT/UTC-05:00



Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages?

- Yes, I am. I was born in Perú, therefore I am a native Spanish speaker. Furthermore, I'm also in an advanced level of English. I've been studying in an English school for the last 8 years, in consequence, I can establish conversations in English without a problem. I'm currently preparing myself to take the FCE exam next year to validate my advanced level internationally.

What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl?

- I joined Brawl by accident in December 2015 and I created a forum account in January 2016. I've been here for 1 year and a half and I am planning to stay here for several years. I bought a Minecraft account in 2011 and one of the main servers I used to play on was Mcpvp. I have gained some incredible memories from playing Main/Badger/Raid/HG and met awesome people on the road.

However, Mcpvp started to have problems, staff leaving, EULA, etc. This made me stop enjoy playing with my friends as they also started to grow up and stop playing Minecraft. This lead to me leaving Minecraft eventually for a year more-less. During that time I was playing LoL (League of Legends) and making new friends until I got bored of it and realized it only brought me bad experiences. Consequently, I stopped playing video games in general until Minecraft came up to my mind again.

After talking with my old friends from Mcpvp, we decided to go back on and play some HG matches. But surprisingly, we ended up somewhere else (Brawl's Lobby) we jumped into the HG portal just to realize that we were the only ones on. My friends left me but I decided to give Survival PvP (Raid) a shot. After playing for a couple of weeks, I fell in love with the game mode. During this time I have joined multiple teams until I set up in Vanta (My House). We have raided multiple teams, invited new members, becoming stronger and smarter. Here is one of the best tracks I have ever made.

Ever since I joined Brawl, I have accumulated an amount of 30 days playing Survival PvP and Raid. I believe I have gained a decent amount of experience in order to help new players understand Raid by giving tricks/advises/suggestions and answering to questions.

What is your experience with moderating servers, if any?

- Back in 2013, a friend and I ran a Minecraft server. We were young and we wanted to have a big server with a lot of players. The first day we had a decent amount of players that just came and hack/insult and ask for stuff or staff. However, things don't go as planned most of the time, our server shut down due to the host service having some connectivity problems but when it came back live, the player base we ever had (even though they were toxic players) had disappeared. My friend bought some plugins to try to get more players but it didn't go as expected. The first month passed and we had to shut it down.

I would say I have a little experience managing a server but I have my entire will to learn and improve. Furthermore, I know the basic commands that Junior Moderators have after reading Canoodle's thread regarding that topic.

Forum Permissions:
Lock & Unapprove threads/posts in the game modes section.

In-game Commands:
/kick - Issues a kick from the server (up to an hour).
/mute - Mutes a player (up to an hour).
/unmute - Unmutes a player
/fp [map]_game mode - Changes the map and game mode (only on Mc-War and only for bug testing).
/prune - Clears chat in-game.

TeamSpeak Permissions:
Kick from room and server, ban (1 hour max), and apply server groups: Muted, Chat Muted, Push-to-Talk, and Jailed.

Recovered from Cuddled’s thread **Server Ranks – Staff** (https://www.brawl.com/threads/40891/)

Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl?

- I would like to become part of Brawl's Staff Team because I want to be able to help Raid more than I do already. Ideally, I want Raid to recover the player base this game mode had time ago. And I believe becoming a Junior Moderator helps in a positive way. I want to be able to discuss new changes and ideas with the staff team in order to take better decisions which would lead into an increment of the player base and player retention. Players tend to listen to staff members rather than regular members, being part of staff opens multiple doors that increase your possibilities to help others.

Moreover, I want to help improve the playing experience by keeping the chat clean and more enjoyable for players to read and talk.

Have you ever used a hacked client before?

- Yes, I have used a hacked client before. I have used Nodus in the past just to have fun killing other players despite how they would feel. However, this occurred several years ago and I have matured a lot since then.

Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why?

- Yes, I have been muted and banned in the past. https://www.brawl.com/history/Speedcell

​

If you look at my first 3 bans you can notice that the 3 of them were effected the same day. The "real" ban is the third one. " Ridealong: U_L_T_I_M_A_T_E". I was temporarily banned for 3 days for ridealong. Ultimate was one the first players I met on Brawl, we were really close and shared the same interests. Until one day he got both banned. That day we managed to get our first track, we were very excited. We tracked TheMafias and started heading to his warp as fast as possible. We killed him when we got there, after that, we started emptying all the chests and storing them into our base. I got a plenty of iron blocks so I decided to upgrade my tracker. When I was at my tracker, suddenly, a diamond sword hits and bans me. I got on TeamSpeak with Ultimate to talk with the moderator who banned us. After talking with him for about 5 minutes, he let us know that we weren't getting unbanned because we found an undetectable chest underground. In that moment, Ultimate sends me a pm on ts telling me that he used an xray texture pack to find hidden chests and that he was going to confess so I don't get punished for something I didn't do. After I got unbanned I realized my friend wasn't a good person in game due to having multiple accounts and hacking with them. Therefore, I stopped talking to him and we have lost any form of contact nowadays.

​

The last ban I have is a false-ban actually. I was using an allowed in game glitch which permitted me to see through walls. But I asked Trogs if I was allowed to use that glitch before even using it. He told me it was a Minecraft glitch and it was completely allowed as putty said. However, I got banned after putting the glitch in practice. After talking with Trogs on the forums regarding my ban, he helped me out to clarify the situation with the higher ups. This lead to putty creating a thread which intention was to make that glitch against the rules. I had to appeal even though I wasn't doing something without permission. I got un-banned the same day.

​

My first mute was this year in January. You are not able to see it on my Brawl History because it was on an alt account I used to use (I didn't own the account but I had access to it). I was muted for flaming on public chat on Raid. Context: I woke up, it was early in the morning, and I was having a bad day due to in real life stuff that happened days before. I logged on Raid with the alt account I was given and started to track other players. With the surprise that one of my trackers had got raided while I was asleep. I was really upset and angry (a chain of bad stuff irl and in game going on at the same time) that I thought I had no other option than acting like this wasn't my alt. I started insulting everyone in game, acting mean, and trying to release my anger/stress. There is no justification at all for what I did. I truly regret my attitude that day and I promise it was my first and last slip I will ever have on Brawl.

What do you consider your greatest strength?

- My perseverance. For my entire life, I've always challenged myself in order to achieve my goals. Life hasn't been as enjoyable as it used to be when I was a kid: friends leave, relatives pass away, more responsibilities. But I always put my heart in everything I do despite the adversity and others trying to let you down until you give up.

Furthermore, as I have grown my maturity has also improved. I consider myself mature enough to not get triggered at all after finding new ways to relax and release stress.

What do you consider your greatest weakness?

- I tend to get distracted more than usual. As I have stated on my last application, it's hard for me to stay focus for long periods of time. This has also affected me in game as in real life. Taking exams is difficult for me because it requires remaining focus for at least an hour. Nevertheless, I recognize my weakness, hence, I am doing my best to improve and move forward.

Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on?

- The server I am most active on is Raid by far. I have been playing on Raid for 1 year and a half since I joined Brawl. But I also get on KitPvP here and there just to play with friends or Party to relax.

How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past?

- I have submitted 2 staff applications in the past.

What is the date of the last application you submitted?

- 28/01/17



Do you have TeamSpeak?

- Yes, I do have TeamSpeak and I also try to get on at least an hour a day to talk with my friends and help players in general.

Anything else you would like to state?

- Yes, I'm currently studying in University (Sophomore year). Exams, studying, homework, projects, etc... consume a big part of my time but I do my best to make a space for Brawl/Raid as my constant activity can reflect my dedication and care about Raid and Brawl in general.

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

My profile post "Someone should make a 13 Reasons Why I Quit" didn't mean to be a "hint" of me quitting at all. I wrote that message because I had just finished watching the series and by that time there was a plenty of players resigning. I have never had an intention to quit.

Regarding my team messages, yes I was really annoyed because of my false ban and also at you. I apologise for the bad intentions I had against you, I believe everyone has had moments of anger. We thought you were desperate for banning one of us that I overreacted on team chat.

If this helps out: After you banned me, I lost hope for the staff team since no one got in contact with me after the ban. However, I was allowed to apply in March but I didn't because of the reason I stated above. Nevertheless, during that time I have realised that I was wrong about raid staff. I have seen a lot coming from you and eil, that's also a reason why I am applying again after almost 5 months.
