Brawl Junior Moderator Application​

Read over this thread: http://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? - Mashiiiiiro (Formerly Yamiiiii)

Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes, it is



How old are you? - I am 18 years old.

What time zone are you in? - CEST (Holland)

Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - Yes, I can speak English and Dutch fluently.



What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - My Minecraft account was created in June 2013 and I joined CTF on MCPVP not too long after that. I’ve loved the game ever since I found it and when MCPVP shut down I joined Brawl in 2015. I’ve mostly been part of the CTF community for these 5 years on Brawl. I’d say I have a lot of experience with the game, as I have played both casual and competitive actively. I have been part of many teams in my CTF career; Majestic, Mock It, Unity, Insurgence, Unity 2.0, Diligence and I am currently a member of CITRIX. I have been council of multiple of these teams (Insurgence, Unity, Diligence) as well as representative of Diligence. I have also been part of CMS for a while in 2018.

What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - I am currently a moderator on a server known as BCNR. I have had this position for about 7 months now and it has taught me the basics of player management when it comes to punishing rule-breakers and helping newer players out. However, this is a very small server and so although it has given me some experience, I do expect Brawl to be a different cup of tea.

Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - I have two main reasons. Firstly, I wish to help resolve the issue of there not being too much staff online in the EU hours of the day. I am from Europe myself and I am very active on casual CTF, both during the early and late EU hours. Second, from my understanding there are times that the staff team can be unorganized. I believe I am able to help with this, as structure matters a lot to me personally. I can put a lot of dedication into keeping things clear for myself and have also put a lot of time into coordinating certain things for others in real life and so believe I have enough experience with structuring to help out with this.



Have you ever used a hacked client before? - I have never used a hacked client.

Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - The only legitimate punishments I had on Brawl are the 2 warnings on my record; I do believe this was me messing around with some friends of mine, although I probably still used words I should not have used regardless of what happened. Unfortunately I do not remember precisely what happened as it has been over a year. The ban and 2 automatic bans in my punishment record are false. I do not recall ever being punished on any other server.

What do you consider your greatest strength? - I’m very analytical. I often see things others tend to look past; this is because I am less focused on the big picture and more focused on the details. It allows me a perspective on things that is very different from the perspective of most others. This has been extremely helpful to me when it comes to things such as reviewing suggestions or general decision-making.

What do you consider your greatest weakness? - I have a significant anxiety/confidence problem, especially when talking in front of bigger groups. This can make it troublesome for me to communicate properly at times and can make me doubt my own decisions if the opinions on said decisions are heavily split; I end up being uncertain regardless of how strong I considered the arguments for my decision when I made it.
This is also the reason that I am not great on usage of the forums and am unfortunately not very involved with the community when it comes to discussing ideas; I much prefer to bring up what I want to say with a person I am familiar with, or a small group I am mostly familiar with. (As an example, I have discussed the assassin changes with @Swit2427 while they were being tested).
I am aware this is an issue for a staff member, as staff are often expected to communicate with other players. However, I know a decent part of the CTF staff team and small groups of CTFers, so I do believe I can still get my point across to them, and they could in turn help me get my point across to the rest of the community. Talking in front of bigger groups has been something I've struggled with in the past, but I've learned to use my other strengths to make up for my shortcomings.

Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - I am most active on Capture the Flag. I sometimes play KitBrawl as well.



How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - I have never made a staff application in the past.

What is the date of the last application you submitted? - N/A

Do you have Discord? Yes, Mashiro#9752



Anything else you would like to state? - Yes. I am diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and this is the reason for a lot of my personal traits. I have already listed the most important of these traits earlier in my application under the strength/weakness sections, but I wanted to add this for clarity. If anybody has questions about this, feel free to message me.

Thank you all for your comments

I believe we do not see each other in casual often due to time-zones; I am not around much after 4pm EST on most days. I am at the time of writing this #20 on the leaderboards of monthly playtime which I believe is very active.

What you said about PPMs/Forums is true, and both are related to the issue I listed under the "greatest weakness" part of my application. Sadly I do not enjoy PPMs a lot because of my anxiety since I grow uncomfortable quickly if I do not know anyone on my team. This is why I used to only play them if a friend invites me to join them in one. I am trying to invite my friends myself to play with me sometimes now.
Forums, as I stated in my application, I do not use because the entire community being able to read my messages is too many people for my liking. This also makes me uncomfortable and so I stopped using the forums long ago. The same thing applies to discussing things in the community Discord. This is why I talk directly to staff or friends instead about my ideas as a workaround; the smaller groups are manageable for me and the people I discuss ideas/suggestions with can voice for me if necessary.
The state which my anxiety issues are currently in is seemingly not going to change anytime soon; I have had intensive therapy for it a few months ago to no avail. Talking to smaller groups of friends/staff members about my suggestions, while not optimal, is currently the best I am capable of. I am doing my best making up for this in other ways, the main one being in-game activity.

 

Thank you both!
