Accepted fast11471 - War

McBrawl Moderator Application:
Before we start, I would like to say that yes, I am using my old application with new information added.
Are you active and helpful on our servers, forums, and Teamspeak? -
Yes I am very active. I am on the server everyday from lengths ranging to 1-3 hours. I am usually on server #1. When I am asked a question, I try to answer it as best as I can. Although, a staff member is usually on and he answers the question.

I also consider myself active on the forums. I am on everyday, and checking it multiple times a day to take care of things like checking alerts, checking my inbox, looking at new ideas and staff application as well as intros, and being weird in the off-topic section. I try to answer questions to the best of my ability, but lets face it, a lot of people are on and the question is usually answered before I can get to it. Although I do try to add some information the others might have missed. I joined the forums in August but I didnt really get active until December. I have 550+ posts. Whether that is active or not, I leave the decision to you.

I am on teamspeak fairly usually as well. I have fallen in activity but recently I have been getting mroe active in it. I do not have regular access to a mic though(I have to use my parents when they aren't using it) , so I keep up through chat. I am usually in a chat with Sargeant55, as well as others such as Etano, RainyWolves, Brian_Coffey, and others.
Approximately, how many rule breaker reports have you submitted? -
I would have to estimate about 10 reports since I rejoined. I find that with the recoil being removed there havent been many OOM'ers and the ones that are left are taken care of in-game by a staff member. Other than that, I do not see many glitchers/hackers but when I do see them I make sure to take a screenshot.
How old are you? -
I am nineteen years old. I was born on September 21, 1994. I will be turning twenty later this year.I still plan to be regular on the servers (Even though some may call me a no-lifer )
What time zone are you in? -
I am currently in PST- Pacific Standard Time
What is your experience and knowledge of Minecraft? -
I have been playing minecraft ever since 1.0.1 which was released on November 24, 2011. I started out like any other player, learning the basics, joining servers, etc. The first server I joined was a small survival server that did not last very long (I do not remember the ip). I stayed on survival mode for a long time just building things, until 1.2.1 came out. Then I found another small survival server (when I say small I mean 0-40 players), which I became staff on after 3 months of playing on it. Eventually, it shut down and after that I just jumped haphazardly to different servers. Then I found mc-war (I joined in September 2012). It was incredibly fun and the community was great. I joined the enjin forums, and slowly climbed my way up the ladder. Then one day, I was considered adequate enough to become a moderator. PistolParrot accepted my application and I started moderating. I was a moderator for Mc-War for about a month and one-half. I became inactive due to the fact that everything became very repetitive to me and therefore, I lost my position. I rejoined the community in December of 2013 and have been an active member ever since.
What is your experience with moderating servers? -
I have moderated a couple servers so far, I am listing them in order.

1.Mc.sb-gaming.com:I was a moderator, builder, and eventually admin. (The server is no longer up and I have no proof. If you need a reference if you question my truthfulness, please refer to my old moderator application on the enjin forums)
2.Mc-War.com: Check the staff graveyard in mc-warz if you need verification.
3.mc17.serverminer.com (Hirik Guns) A small survival server that used guns. It is shut down.(Owned by Etano)
4.voltris.factions.ws (Owned by Freakizoid) I was V.I.P. but I was opped.
5.GondolinCraft- I wont say the ip since it is my own server. I am the owner but I am never active anymore after I spent a lot of time trying to make it grow and it failed.
What will you provide to the community if you are provided moderator status? -
Now I know what you expect me to say. "I will keep the servers clear of hackers, glitchers, and spammers, as well as make the community a better place." But that is the generic response to this question. Of course, I will fulfill those requirements, but I will also do much more. As a staff member, I will have more authority, therefore being able to do much more. New players who need a staff member to help them? I can do that. People who are starting fights and being disrespectful? I will be able to disarm the situation much easier and provide punishment if needed. People listen to a staff member, so I can help the players when they need help, no matter what the problem is. (Unless it is out of my power such as problems that require the attention of an S-mod or admin)
Have you ever used a hacked client before? - I have. My 1st few days of mc-war I used Nodus while staying inside the parkour area to get hackers names. (People using spider to get over the glass wall in Rainbow Parkour). After I reported some people, many people called me a hacker because my screenshots had the nodus interface. I did not like the negative attention so I removed nodus from minecraft and have not used it since. The only client I use now is the Mc-war client.
Have you ever been banned on a Minecraft server? If so, why? - I have been banned on one server because a person obtained op status, griefed the servers spawn area, and when I logged in, they repeatedly killed me and put a sign up that said "Griefed by fast11471"
How active do you consider yourself in-game? -
I am on quite often and try to spend multiple hours on the server at a time. I am usually on server 1, but I occasionally go on the other servers to see how things are going.
How active do you consider yourself on TS3? - I am not as active as I should be. I dropped in ts3 activity but have been steadily increasing it lately.
How active do you consider yourself on the forums? -
I am on everyday, multiple times a day. I go on to check alerts, check my inbox, as well as look at new ideas and questions on the forums. I am most active in the off-topic section of the forums but I frequently visit other areas. I'm known as the weirdo of the forums and Im generally just a fun-loving guy.My post count is relatively high, so I consider myself active. But I can't speak for the community so I leave it up to you to decide whether I am active or not.
What do you consider your greatest strength? - My greatest strength would be my cool temper. Im not quick to anger and Im a very optimistic person. When someone is being difficult, it is rare that you will see me being rude or disrespectful. I try to be as nice as possible.
What do you consider your greatest weakness? - My greatest weakness is my sense of humor. I dont usually like inappropriate humor, but sometimes I my jokes can be rude to some people. I dont think I do that very often but it has happened in the past.
How would you handle someone making a minor transgression for the first time? -
Since it is a minor transgression, I would deal with it accordingly. I would kindly ask the offender to stop what he is doing and inform him not to do it again. It is up to the person to decide what they will do from there.
How would you handle the same person doing it again a second time? -
I would tell them again, sternly this time, that I will have to take action against them if they do not stop what they're doing immediately. Hopefully, they will listen.
How would you handle that person doing it again for the third time? -
Since they have kept repeating this minor transgression, I would be forced to take action. I would kick them from the server. If they rejoin the server and keep committing the offense, I would take whatever action is necessary, whether its another kick or a 1-hr temp-ban.
What is your reaction if someone publicly proves you wrong on the forums? -
I was wrong I usually double check the information to make sure that I am the one who is wrong. Upon realizing that, I will publicly apologize, saying that I made a mistake or I spoke before gaining all the information.
What would you do when someone breaks a rule on the forums? -
I would inform them that what they have done is wrong and if they're new, I will let them off the hook with a 1-time warning. If they are an experienced member of the forums, I will inform them that they should have known better, and any further offenses will be brought to the attention of a higher position staff member.
When would you lock a thread? -
I would lock a thread when they meet one or multiple of these requirements.

- If the post is a duplicate

- Requested to be locked by the owner or any higher ranking staff member

- If the question has been answered

- If the post is starting to become a flame war

- When the post is totally off-topic

- The post is a grave dig

Describe yourself in 3 words: Dedicated, Weird, Respectful
Anything else we should know about you? -
I've been a long-time member of mc-war and I have been a previous moderator. I leave it up to the community to decide whether I fulfill the requirements needed to become a moderator.
Situation: A player is out of the map on MC-WAR. What are the steps that you would take to ensure that this player and situation is properly dealt with? -
On mc-war, the steps I would take to resolve the issue of out of map players are as follow,

-Take a screenshot in order to make a report

-Inform the player to get back inside the map

-If he does not respond, give him 30 seconds to get back in

-If he ignores my instructions, I will kick him from the game.

-If he continues to disregard my instructions, give a temp-ban

-Immediately log into the forums and make a rule-breaker report.
Do you generally know how all the plugins and commands work? - I have been a moderator before and I know how the commands work. Also, I have been staff on other server so I know most commands on Vanilla minecraft.
Do you realize that if you are disrespectful or abuse your power, your power will be taken away? -I realize that it will not be tolerated and I will be immediately demoted.
