Accepted can i be staff yes or no

Slinkypineapples Epic Application
​

What is your in-game name? - slinkypineapples
Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes- I change my password every month as well.
How old are you? - 19 years young.
What time zone are you in? - EST
Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - No

What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - I've played since early 2013, seen it all Brawl has ever had to offer, played all the gamemodes, became a well-known member of the community, became a staff member, became a gamemode manager, I know all the staff commands, I am very knowledgable about how to staff and handle certain scenarios, and I also am very adept with the perm-ban system.
What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - Ex-Brawl Manager / Senior Moderator
Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - I want to contribute my ideas and ideals to the server, I've been very bored lately so I turned to Brawl and it has been quite enjoyable lately. I am 100% confident I can benefit the server if I am to join the staff team again.

Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Yes many times. Mostly back in my earlier days of Minecraft 2013-2015. I've also experimented with hacked clients quite a bit when I was a staff member on Brawl so I would say I have a much better than average understanding of hacked clients. This was especially beneficial as I was a KitBrawl moderator and I had to identify hacked clients on there... A lot.
Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - Yes, Brawl. I've been muted years ago when I was much more immature. I've also been banned on Brawl many years ago (like 2014 lol), when I used forcefield on zombies. Chickenputty himself banned me for that foolery. I was also banned about a year ago on Brawl for Xray, when I used F3+A, not knowing it was bannable. That has since been cleared up though and regardless I have a clean record now- no banned accounts or such.

What do you consider your greatest strength? - Ability to handle other people's emotions and problems, and deal with situations individually using my best intuition.
What do you consider your greatest weakness? - I have a "raunchy" sense of humor that I may need to clean up a bit if I become a JMOD.
Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - WarZ, KitBrawl, War

How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - Probably like 3 or 4
What is the date of the last application you submitted? - October 13, 2016 (accepted)

Anything else you would like to state? -_-

 

Hi, The Negus. Thank you for your feedback.
I’ve recently changed my username from Trogy to slinkypineapples. This may or may not explain you not seeing my name on a lot.

Either way thank you very, very much, The Negus!

Would you mind providing an explanation on why you think I should be staff? I appreciate the support though.

Well I can’t for sure say I won’t leave again once this quarantine ends. That may just have to be the case once school and work starts up again for me, but what I can guarantee is that I wouldn’t leave like last I did time. I’m quite unhappy with how I left the server, leaving without a word or even a resignation which is something that didn’t sit quite well with me. I wish I had made a resignation in hindsight. However what I can tell you is the reason I just faded into inactivity as I lost interest in the server was because I couldn’t bring myself to resign. I really didn’t want to. I really enjoyed being staff for the couple of years it lasted and wasn’t sure I was ready to give up my SMOD position, something I had worked hard to achieve, and something I worked hard while I had the position, knowing it would be hard to get again if I did resign. Also, I’m very well aware now as well as when I made this application that it would get denied. However, If I follow this application up with another one in a month (Which I plan to), that should speak somewhat about my commitment to the server.

Thank you for your feedback!

 

While it isn’t the most professional application I’ve ever created, I can assure you it’s intent is just as legitimate as the applications I’ve submitted in the past, when I was accepted previously.

 

Thank you for your feedback!

 

Hmmm, okay Jay. I appreciate your extreme interest in my staff application, but I have to be honest you're quite wrong with a lot you just said.

For starters, not only did you say I don't contribute much, but rather I've contributed "Nothing" to the WarZ server. I'm not sure how you could possibly know that, because you haven't been included in PM's or conversations on Discord I've had with WarZ staff members. No I haven't posted much in the community discord or the forums, but to say I've done nothing is quite an overstatement. I've also contributed to hackers being banned on WarZ in the past couple weeks, and I've also attempted to help and encourage newer players on the server in various ways.

You also say I have minimal in-game activity except for WarZ 20 which is also not true. We play at very different hours of the day, and most of my playtime is on one of the actual servers 1-4. I play WarZ 20 obviously, but no where near as much as I am on one of the main servers.
You then point out my game statistics as a tribute to how I am inactive. My gameplay style is quite different from yours where I'm not in a team and constantly fighting throughout the day on all different servers. I prefer a much more chill play style (mostly because I am not very good at WarZ) in which I like to loot chests and kill zombies when I am not fighting. I'm not sure if there's a way to actually show my in-game hours over the past month (let me know if there is), but if so I will happily share them and show that I have been extremely active on the server.
Also I don't really understand why even if I just played WarZ 20 (which isn't true), that that would be a problem. It's still WarZ.

Now to point out what you said about the Discord Community server. You tried to tag @slinky and @trogs to see if I am on the server. Neither of those are my Discord names. My current Discord is Declan#3049 and I am indeed in the WarZ Community Discord, feel free to @ me.

Now with all of that being said Jay, I will say that I don't just play on WarZ. I am also very (very) active on MC-War. I also tend to play on KitPVP and CTF from time to time. I applied for the title of WarZ JMOD as it is the server I was most active on at the time I created my application, and still is the server I am most active on. However, I don't plan to be a strictly WarZ staff member, I am looking to help Brawl in a whole and assist in any way possible on other servers that I am active on. Previously, when I applied for Kit PVP JMOD and was accepted, while I played KitPVP mostly, I hopped around the other servers too, especially War and WarZ as I originally joined Brawl in 2013 for its gun servers. You should know exactly where I am coming from as you did the same exact thing.. apply for KitPVP and then play WarZ. Only difference is you switched to be an official WarZ moderator. I may do something similar.. who knows. But for now WarZ is the server I am most active on, and that is where I am looking to be "officially" recognized.

Thank you for your feedback, and let me know if you have any other questions but it seems as though your main concern is my activity.. which is certainly up to par.

As of the past handful of weeks, I've been quite active on a few of Brawl's servers (namely WarZ, War, Raid, and KitPvP). It's difficult for me as a normal player to contribute as much to these servers as I would like to, which is why I am applying for staff. However, I do try to help out where I can by reporting hackers, filing chat reports, noting glitches as well as ideas I have for the server and PMing them to staff members, communicating actively in chat, and trying to help out newer players as I would consider myself to be very knowledgeable of most things on the servers I play on.
That being said, like I mentioned, I hope to rejoin the staff team to benefit the server to my full ability. What I foresee that looking like granted I am accepted, includes but is not limited to:

• Proposing and sharing my ideas directly to the staff team without the need to pass them along first, and then creating/contributing to meaningful discussions amongst the team in order to come to proper decisions for the server.
• Dealing with rule-breakers in-game quickly and appropriately through the use of /warn, /mute, /ban, etc. I also think it's important for me to mention here, that when I was staff I was usually top 3 in bans and mutes for staff members, if not at the top, including a time where I had over 1000 bans in just one month. I mention this not to brag, but rather because being a normal player again without /ban perms, I've rediscovered how frustrating it is to be playing a game in which someone's cheating is making the server unenjoyable for everyone else. And quite frankly, a lot times I've been in that situation over the past few weeks and there hasn't been a MOD+ on to handle it.
• Creating a more positive and enjoyable Brawl community across all servers. Something I enjoyed, that players seemed to enjoy a lot, was hosting events or mini-events on servers. I did this a lot when I was SMOD, on servers like Raid or KitPVP simply with the use of commands I had access to such as /creative. I'd host random KOTH or Kill the King events, as well as various other things like just building stuff near or around spawn while interacting, and having fun with players. I also hosted some larger scale events, however it is these spontaneous mini-events that are really beneficial as they require not much effort, but in the time that they are going on, the player count for the server increases significantly.
• Creating content for Brawl. This isn't something that I need staff to do, but it is something that I am also looking to do in the future so I figured I would include it. I used to make videos for Brawl for fun, but in the near future I am looking to do something similar, both for fun and for advertising purposes. The reason I haven't already pursued doing this is because I am currently using my school computer which simply can't support the use of a recording software without making Minecraft nearly unplayable. When I get my old computer fixed though I will be making Brawl content for YouTube, and I think being a staff member could be beneficial to this as well.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

I can't argue this, I agree with you completely that getting involved in the community is something I need to work on. I also agree on how important transparency is between players and staff. Personally, as an ex-staff member I don't think that's something I ever struggled with, as I used to be pretty hands on and personal with a few of the different game mode communities. Even now I am always looking for an alternate perspective on issues and ways they can be resolved. Part of why I am applying is because experiencing the game as a non staff member for like the first real time in a while, has humbled be and I look to represent the community that don't have as loud a voice as staff members, granted I am promoted. However, I suppose my efforts to be transparent from 2+ years ago can't really be carried over to now, however I assure you that this is something I would strive to achieve as a staff member. However, I agree with you completely that I need to get involved more, and whether or not I am promoted I will seek to contribute in the WarZ community Discord going forward.

Regarding your opinions about me being a not so great mod last time, and the accusations you've heard of me abusing (and lets be honest there hasn't ever been a staff member to not be accused of abusing), feel free to PM me about those and I'll be happy to discuss.

I know you're not trying to bash my chances, but I am confused why you followed that up with that you're tired of people not doing their jobs.
I get how that's probably very frustrating, and I agree completely, but I'm not sure how that would apply to me. Up until my gradual fade into inactivity when I was previously an SMOD, I was incredibly active on the server and I was always on top of things regarding my position and role on the staff team.
That being said, I don't plan on applying, being promoted, and then slacking off and being a lazy mod. I'm sure Ritzy could use assistance in as many ways as possible, and I intend to help out in as many ways as I can. Ritzy is a decent friend of mine and I would honestly feel like a dick if I bailed out on him.
Just to be clear I'm not applying for the rank or the perks or anything like that, as I already have lifetime Elite. I am applying simply because I am genuinely trying to help the server, the server that's been a major part of my life for 7 years.

I included things I am hopeful to do, in addition to what am I currently doing to provide some context and maybe better explain what I have planned if I am to be promoted. No, I am not doing these things at the moment, but I was hoping that by listing my ambitions for the server, my intentions were seen as genuine.

Regarding the activity, I can't really convince you I suppose if you haven't seen me on much, but I will say that my schedule for playing currently is really wack as I am playing from late at night my time to really early in the AM every single day. Also not to mention I am on other servers too, specifically War, where I guarantee you many of the war mods and regulars can tell you I've been incredibly active on. I'm also like 5th richest on Raid currently, which took a substantial amount of hours to do.

 

Yeah, how I went out as an SMOD last time is something I regret because I feel like it put a damper on my entire time spent as a staff member, and I wouldn’t let myself leave similarly again.
Thank you for your feedback!
