    Brawl Junior Moderator Application

    Read over this thread: https://www.brawl.com/threads/14752/
    If you do not meet the requirements (active, helpful, must have Discord, etc) do not apply yet; it will be an auto deny.

    What is your in-game name?- ArcticGalaxy

    Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated?- My Minecraft account is secure and I am the only one with access to it.

    How old are you?- 15

    What time zone are you in?- Eastern Time Central (EST)

    Are you multilingual? Unfortunately, I am only fluent in English. However, I am taking my 4th year in Spanish and have a decent range of vocabulary, grammar, and the ability hold a basic conversation.

    What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? Like many other players on CTF my experience with Brawl began when MCPVP moved CTF to Brawl. Ever since the move I have been playing CTF frequently since 2015 and obtained a pretty decent understanding of the community and the gamemode itself.

    What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? I have not had any past experience with moderating a server. I have only heard and witnessed what other players have done.

    Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? Despite all the jokes, I still do enjoy playing the gamemode and the community overall is pretty enjoyable. I would like to keep CTF “alive” with reworks, potential new classes, events. Personally there is only one thing that frustrates me about CTF, the amount of hackers and how often they are punished. I am able to record videos and upload them to youtube, and although the quality is not superb, it is better than nothing. I also do not hackusate every player that beats me, I am aware that I am not the greatest player in the world. However I do believe I have that I have an eye from telling the good apples from the bad apples so to speak. I think that it is incredibly important to punish the people that ruin the game for others. My activity would allow me to do this frequently as I often spend my free time on Brawl. As the majority of other moderators have moved past the years of high school and as a result have less time to spend watching or playing on the server.

    Have you ever used a hacked client before? No I have never used a Minecraft hacked client.

    Have you ever been punished(banned, kicked, muted, ect) legitimately on a public Minecraft server?If so, why? Yes, I have one requested ban, 6 autobans, and one warning for a death threat of which I have no recollection of. The requested ban was a joke between a former moderator and only lasted around 20 seconds. The 6 autobans have spanned throughout my entire history on brawl and were random as well as false. I believe the warning for a death threat was a misunderstanding as I am not the person who to wish ill on people over Minecraft capture the flag.
    What do you consider your greatest strength? I believe that my greatest strength is my ability to speak for others or take control of a situation when needed. By no means do I wish to silence those around me. I simply wish to help those who are too nervous or frightened to defend themselves or their opinion. When I first joined the community I was shy and did not have the ability to even speak for myself. Being leader and representative of The Crusaders really helped me push past my insecurities and become stronger as an individual. It also helped me to realize when a situation was going wrong and when I should and should not step in to help. Below I stated that my decision making process was slow, despite that it allows me to be fully confident in the result.

    What do you consider your greatest weakness? I would consider my greatest weakness the inability to be content with “the grey area” or the middle. I prefer to feel 100% over what decision I decide on, yes or no, good or bad. I believe that maybe or a shrug is just not an adequate response, it leaves too much to be speculated. Although that does not mean I can not live without getting my way, it simply means I need to be 100% content with the decision I make. Which sometimes makes me slow when deciding my course of action.


    Which brawl servers(s) are you most active on? I am most active on CTF, especially on weekends. I have school/homework that typically takes up the majority of the day on weekdays, but I can always hop on and set maps or observe a suspicious player.

    How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? I have made no applications in the past.
    What is the date of the last application you submitted? November 25th

    Do you have Discord? Yes, my discord is ArcticGalaxy#1392. I am incredibly active and will respond as quickly as my schedule allows.

    Anything else you would like to state? I hope this was not too wordy and not a text wall, thank you for your time. I know that this was a serious application but I am not a completely serious person…. I often laugh more than I should. Also birds are wonderful creatures.

    Could you give some examples of CTF ideas you've posted and hackers that you've reported? (would obviously recommend giving examples of hackers you've reported in PMs, if they're regulars - sent you a friend req on discord)

    +1, I won’t lie and say there’s no chance of bias from me, you’re my best friend and I’ll put that out there. That being said, you are active, helpful, contribute to discussions, have an open mind, will stick up for yourself/others when you should, don’t fear having a different opinion,and care about the community. Maybe you don’t post as much on the forums as you could, and maybe there is some stuff to learn about ghost clients, but I have found that once you get mod, you learn more about clients along the way. As for forum activity, it’d be nice to see more, but that’s the only thing I would say you could improve upon. Considering everything else, I would not say that is a reason to deny you.

    After speaking to you on Discord, it's clear that you do come up with a lot of CTF ideas and, given your experience with the game, these ideas are pretty well-founded. You also do record a fair share of ghost client hackers, which will be a huge help especially if you end up becoming Mod. However, you don't submit ideas or reports through the recommended way - as a player, I'd strongly suggest posting any ideas you have on the forums, and any hackers you record on the website (exceptions can be made if you want to stay anonymous, such as if you're reporting a staff member or a friend for hacking).

    Other than that, the only bit of criticism I have is this: try and familiarise yourself and contribute to more gamemodes than just CTF. At the moment, it seems apparent that you lack experience in gamemodes other than CTF and Build. It is very important you are familiar with all gamemodes as staff members should be contributing to all gamemodes. This includes banning hackers on servers you're not currently familiar with. Also, although CTF has a lot of dev time right now, this may not be the case forever - if CTF stops getting dev time, only being familiar with CTF would mean you would be unable to contribute much while other gamemodes get dev time.

    Another thing I want to point out: your warning was not for a "death threat" (e.g: "I will find you and kill you"), but for a "death wish" (e.g: "kys"). Make sure you get this right if you do become a JMod - punishment for a death wish is just a warning the first time and a 12 hour mute the second time, punishment for a death threat is a 7 day ban for the first time. It's important that it is not mistaken as we treat death threats much more severely than death wishes.

    To elaborate more on the punishment: you said "Player123 die." I completely disagree with the punishment - looking at the context, it is very clear that this was light-hearted, said to a friend, not explicitly a real life wish and above all else, caused absolutely no harm to anyone. I absolutely would not hold the punishment against you.

    With that all being said: it is clear you have a lot of experience with the gamemode and, being a leader of a team and being a PPM host, it's clear you contribute a lot to the community. You appear to be very confident and combined with being very familiar with the community, you should have no problems with dealing with heated situations in-game. To me, this is a clear +1, best of luck.

    <3 thank you so much, and yes I know that my forum activity has been lackluster and I plan to improve that dramatically. Thank you for your time

    Thank you for pointing out how I can improve. I appreciate the constructive criticism because it shows me how I can become better and learn from my mistakes. I again plan to be more active on the forums, reporting players more formally and posting ideas about improving the game mode. Thank you the clarification on the differences between a death wise and death threat, I will not make the mistake again. I will also make a greater effort in expanding my experience of the server by playing on different gamemodes. Thank you for your suggestions, I am always looking for a way to improve.

    +1 From Ice Bear. I don't know you well but I don't see any reason to not accept you. Forums activity? Check. A detailed and effective application? Check. An active member of Brawl? Check. Even if some things said are a bit cliche its fine and I think you would make a fine staff member.

    Forums activity doesn't bother me all that much as I was accept with rather low forums post and so have other staff members. You seem active enough in game to do your duty as a staff member and along the way you learn how the punishment system works. I have seen the warning also and think that it really wasn't needed either. Best of luck!
