My Old Mod App

Basically my app from like June 2014 that I never finished.
Everything below this line is directly copied from my mod app document.

McBrawl Moderator Application:

Dedicated to @18kss and @BrawlerAce_, our fallen comrades.

Are you active and helpful on our servers, forums, and Teamspeak? – On the activity standards Staff have get for us members, I would have to say that I am in fact very active in all 3 areas. Starting off with our McBrawl servers, I am giving myself a 10/10 in activity in that area. From the first hour of my waking to the last hour of my day, I play on McBrawl, and minecraft during that time. Occasionally I don’t be active for a day, due to real-life events like appointments and such. For the 5-10 hours I am on daily on McBrawl, I would have to say that I am quite active in that area. If a new player arrives on the server and has questions, then I will help them out and give them the most accurate answers and best help I can give them.

On the forums, I have accumulated well over 1,300 posts in the past 8 months. I am on constantly trying to find interesting threads to post on, and trying to help out the best I can on the forums. Like 750+ positive ratings and like about 1,380 posts, I can assure you that the content I post does attract positive feedback most of the time and is decent. In the 8 months I’ve been on the forums, I have never gotten bored of posting on ideas, helping out, and wishing good luck to any new clans, groups, or people attempting challenges. If someone needs help or has questions, I try to help them out as much as possible, and give them the most accurate answer I know.

Now for teamspeak, I am usually on when I am on in-game on McBrawl. I usually spent about 5 hours a day on teamspeak, with periods of time where I go AFK or just don’t talk to anybody and chill in the lobby. When I am in the mood for chatting, usually I will hang out in a big public chat room with my microphone on push-to-talk or my micophone being muted. I will stay active and chat with the chat box in the room, and possibly turn on my microphone if I am really in the mood. If there is a rule breaker in the chat room, I would tell the user to stop breaking their rule, and get a moderator in the channel if he doesn’t stop. If a person has a question that needs to be answered in teamspeak, I will write a answer in the chat box that is the most accurate I can make it.

Approximately, how many rule breaker reports have you submitted? - Judging from my channel, I think I have reported almost more than any other person, over 40 hacker reports. I have reported around 10-15 other rule breaker reports, which totals up to above 55. I took my duty of making McBrawl a better place seriously with my old group called the snitching squad, and I still do as a player who roams McBrawl trying to find rule breakers.

How old are you? - I am currently 12 years old as of (8/6/14) because my birthday (May 30th) just passed by about 2 months ago.

What time zone are you in? - I live in Florida, so I am on the south eastern region on the USA which is located in the EDT Time Zone (Here).


What is your experience and knowledge of Minecraft? - Well, in around January 2011, my sister was a casual gamer who played online children games like Wizard101, towntown, etc. (she was around 11). She was watching several of the yogscast’s videos are came over some minecraft videos. She watched them, and around a month or so later, she downloaded a cracked version of minecraft. From there, my sister played and, and I did occasionally. After the course of 5 months, I rapidly gained knowledge of the game and slowly became an expert on the game. That being said, in around June 2011 my sister and I convinced our mother to buy us minecraft. From then, we eventually joined a multiplayer server and was completely mystified by the general characteristics of the server. It was a SMP, but we weren't used to a spawn, and other people’s buildings. After around 2 months of the SMP, a guy leaked the trurth about the owner being corrupted, with hosting, and general lies. After that, I finally got my minecraft account (RLHchampion) so my sister and I could play individually. We hopped from server to server, and I finally found the server where I stayed on for almost 2 years. It was called zumacraft. I played on it over the course of around 7 months until I finally earned mod. I was eventually demoted for some forgotten reason. I still played for up for 18 months on the server, until the owner (zumasail) showed me MC-War. From there I was hooked and played on there for about 2 months before I earned mod from orange. Aidan (the S-Mod) told me I was a pretty chill mod. I loved MC-War so much, but I eventually got banned because of my 10 year old self who was dangerously easily gullible. I was banned for telling a user what /FP under the "all-so-wonderful" bribery, and he abused the command so badly that night. From there I playing on different servers and singleplayer, becoming more tryhard by the month. After that, I was banned and server hopped most of the time and gained staff on servers every now and then, until I come back in MC-War through McParty, which I stayed on for 10 months until now.


What is your experience with moderating servers? - I have a lot of experience with moderating servers. Let's start off with one that I had described partially in my Knowledge-Of-Minecraft question. Zumacraft (which is now known as Digital Empire). This is and will be one of my favorite SMP servers there are, even though it was attacked, griefed, and flat out demolished several times. I had been playing on the server since February 2012 (just around when I was diagnosed with my unfortunate disease) and started playing this fabulous SMP. I played on it like any other SMP for several months, and eventually my sister got moderator. I was jealous, but only a few weeks later I had gained moderator too. I was demoted about a month later for a reason I forgot (I think he just didn't want me as mod anymore). I kept on playing, but one day I had regained my honor with the owner. Once when I had gone off for the night, I come back on to see the entire server griefed. The owner come on 30 minutes later, and handed me Temp-Admin, saying that he knew he could trust me after my past experience moderating his server. I undid all the damage, banned the griefers (some did over 2000 blocks of griefing) and generally restored the server in a matter of 3 hours. I was demoted because the owner said it was temporary, but I had gained some brownie points with Zumasail for that.

I have also moderated a multitude of servers, most of which I don't have proof of. The one several people know of is my past moderating experience with MC-War. After I had basically quit zumacraft, the owner showed me MC-War. It was the server of a lifetime. I got hooked and started playing immediately. It was so cool; I was so amazed. After gaining friends and playing like a nice player I eventually earned moderator status. After a month or two of being moderator, I eventually was demoted for unknown or forgotten reasons.

The proof for my past moderator experience will be posted (Here):

The last one was

What will you provide to the community if you are provided moderator status? – What I will provide to the community when I receive moderator status is what any player wants – a clean server with all trash talkers kicked, hackers recorded and banned, and other rule-breakers punished in the right way possible. As of reading several applications and seeing some current T-Mods, I think that a quality that those T-Mods don’t have is the ability to put their moderator rank at #1 priority at McBrawl, and gameplay + fun being a secondary priority for them. If I need to, I will stop playing the game and deal with a situation of a player causing trouble. This will help the server greatly, because McMurder will need moderators who put their “job” in front of their gameplay. Also, another good characteristic I have is my maturity and ways to deal with situations. If you read my SITUATION question, then you would understand that. I take any situation, control it, and try to make the most out of it with the best of my ability. (Ex: kicking a player for spamming, asking them why did they spam, trying to get them to stop spamming). Also, fights that take place in chats are things I like to try and control, because usually they are extremely pointless and make the user seem immature, and disrespectful.


Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Surprisingly, even after being surrounded with friends that used hacked clients, I actually never used one. Sure, I may have had my friend use his hacks to help me out, but I never used a hacked client before (unless you count literally 10 seconds on my sister’s computer). Recently, and before, my friends used and use hacked clients on servers like MCSG, the walls, and other high competition servers. I used their ability to see ores and track players from far away to my advantage, but never downloaded the client, even when the hacked client was right in front of me, ready to download from skype.

Have you ever been banned on a Minecraft server? If so, why? - Oh, boy. I was banned on several servers. MC-War being one, for exploiting /fp, which was later turned to "hacking". On other servers, I have been banned while trolling them and questioning their staff, which weren't very mature and very abusive (I was muted for saying "Abuse!" in chat once). But, I have been forming myself into an even better person, and haven't been banned on a server for several months.


How active do you consider yourself in-game? – In-Game, I would consider myself very active on McBrawl. From the first hour after I wake up to the last hour before I fall asleep after a long day, I am playing McBrawl for 90% of that time. I am always on McBrawl looking for people who have questions, ready to record hackers, and on the spot if there is a rule-breaker that needs to be stopped. On a scale of 1-10, I would give myself a 10 because of the fact that I am on McBrawl for 5+ hours a day, and on even more on average.

How active do you consider yourself on TS3? – On teamspeak, I usually have it on for approximately half the time I am playing on McBrawl. For most of the time on teamspeak, I’d have to admit I am quite shy, usually retreating into the lobby, a private room, or the AFK section. My high pitched voice (Remember, I am 12) makes the factor of verbally warning people impossible, plus those people in the chat rooms who are always being the “that-one-guy who questions everything about you because of your voice” person. In conclusion, I would rate myself a 8/10 for the 5 hours I spend average on teamspeak lingering in the corner of the channel whilst playing McBrawl.

How active do you consider yourself on the forums? – The forums is a strong point for me, I have to admit. With the 1,500+ posts I’ve accumulated from the long 8 months I’ve enjoyed at McBrawl, plus the 890 positive ratings I have earned over the course of my 9-months stay at McBrawl. On the forums, I casually scroll through the forums, finding some

What do you consider your greatest strength? -


What do you consider your greatest weakness? -


How would you handle someone making a minor transgression for the first time? - Saying that this is a minor transgression, I would warn them casually the first time. If they continue (they don't stop), I would warn them with a lot more authority and tell him that they will be kicked if they don't stop.

How would you handle the same person doing it again a second time? - I would kick them from the server and tell them in the reason what they did and explain to them afterwards how it's not at all right to be breaking rules in McBrawl, even if it is just a minor transgression.

How would you handle that person doing it again for the third time? – If the user were to break the same rule again, the user should not be able to play McBrawl for atleast an hour at this rate. With proof in hand, I will ban the user temporarily for one hour. The user has been informed of his actions and knows that he should stop breaking that rule, but he/she decided to not go by our rules has been punished.

What is your reaction if someone publicly proves you wrong on the forums? – The first thing I would do is check if the user’s statement is valid, and if that statement is valid, I would reply to the users statement and correct myself, and thank the user for pointing the correct statement out and correcting me.

What would you do when someone breaks a rule on the forums? – If a user breaks a rule on the forums, I would report the message and explain what rule was broken, and via PM I will inform the user on what they are doing. They will receive a PM by S-Mods or admins about the issue too, and the user will be informed about what he did and that if he breaks the rule again, there will be points added to his points and he may be temporarily banned. And, I would reply to the user’s message in the chat and warn him not to break that rule again, so that the public Brawl community understands what he did and they can learn from his mistake or misdemeanor and not perform the same action.

When would you lock a thread? -

1. The thread is a duplicate of another one.

2. It is a spam thread.

3. The thread spirals way off-topic, and no one bothers going back on topic.

4. A flame-war starts up.

5. The owner of the thread requests a lock.

6. The question is answered.

7. The thread is grave dug.

8. The thread breaks one of the forum rules.


Describe yourself in 3 words: Mature, helpful, and outgoing.

Anything else we should know about you? – I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis about 2 ½ years ago, and I am currently in a flare up. This can affect my activity, saying that I may not be able to stay at my computer for a while. The doctors are doing what they can, but there isn’t much improvement.


Situation: A player is OOM on a map in McMurder. What are the steps you would take to make sure the situation is properly dealt with? - The first thing I would do is ask for the players IGN, because the players are all disguised as popular minecraft players or developers. Once that is done, I will ask them to return back into the map, do /spawn (once it’s add), or to reconnect to get back into the lobby. If they do not go any of the 3 options I’ve listed, the user will be warning once again, and will be kicked if they don’t return back into the map by the time I count to 10. Once that player has been returned into the lobby/map, I will ask him how to get into the area. If he doesn’t answer, I will attempt to go into the OOM spot myself. If I successfully get OOM, I will report the place with proof.

Do you generally know how all the plugins and commands work? – From the 7-8 servers I have been staff on, I have learned a lot about the general commands in bukkit servers and how most plugins and commands work. This will become very useful in any problems. I am not a coder, so I am just good with Bukkit commands and such.

Do you realize that if you are disrespectful or abuse your power, your power will be taken away? - I certainly do. If I were to abuse my powers, it would be shameful to myself and would cost me my rank as moderator, and/or possibly get my account banned from McBrawl.
