    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 TeamSpeak, etc) do not apply yet; it will be an auto deny.

    What is your in-game name? - ningeek212
    Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes it is :smile:

    How old are you? - 19
    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 joined brawl in 2013 when I heard about the party gamemode, and I enjoyed it alot back then. I really became active on brawl after the mcpvp merge (since I was active on mcpvp), and so my experience of brawl came after that merge in 2015. I'm familiar with most of the gamemodes, but most experienced with CTF.
    What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - Besides moderating very small servers (50 players and less), I have not moderated any servers.
    Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - There are plenty of reasons I want to become a moderator, things like banning dem hackers on kitbrawl or giving my perspective of ctf to the committee. Mostly, I want to help the server with whatever I can do.

    Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Not on any servers (I have played with them on singleplayer/private servers with permission)
    Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - Yes (on brawl) I have been warned once and kicked once, I explained one of the warnings on my more recent application (I'll just copy and paste here). Here is why I got warned: I was on ctf with a few regulars, having a laid back conversation. Simply put I went a little more laid back than I should've. I actively knew what I was saying and should've restrained myself some more. However, after the warning I knew I went too far and pulled it back. (The convo wasn't a heated argument or anything like that, just a bit immature with language).

    The kick was because I flooded the chat on kitbrawl after I noticed a chat glitch (the newline thingy). I shouldn't have done that but owell.

    What do you consider your greatest strength? - I am a good listener. This hasn't changed from my last application, and looking at how I described my strength, I'll just quote that here with a few more notes. I care about what others say and their opinions, no matter how bizarre their opinions are. This of course allows me to be more open-minded about topics and discussions, as I try to see everyone's perspective on it. Of course I'm not perfect and I still have biases, but I work on keeping my view on a topic from being "contaminated" by biases. Now I don't want this to give off the feeling that I don't communicate, and I stay to myself. What I am trying to state is that I listen more than I speak. Doesn't mean I don't speak, just less often. Applying this to staff on brawl, it's clear why this can be useful. In looking at ideas, maps, critiques, etc, it helps being a good listener and being open-minded.
    What do you consider your greatest weakness? - I am cautious. I don't want to make a mistake when I try something I'm not familiar with, and that makes me quite cautious. This has its ups and downs, since I don't do anything really stupid, but at the same time I sometimes don't do a job effectively, efficiently, etc. I'm slowly working on this, balancing cautiousness and recklessness, and I have seen progress, but I still am cautious.
    Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - CTF and KitBrawl

    How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - 2
    What is the date of the last application you submitted? - August 23, 2017
    Do you have TeamSpeak? - Yes :smile:

    Anything else you would like to state? - As I stated in my previous application, I understand one thing the staff is looking for is an able active EU player, and I am not EU :frowning: That having been said, I am a morning person, and I enjoy waking up at around 5-7 am EST. I usually get on my laptop around 7-8 every morning. And my personal life hasn't changed much, just continuing my schooling.

    Super easy +1.

    The main reasons you were denied last time were your lack of forum activity and a recent rule violation. Your last rule violation was early September (and was for a minor chat offence, I'm not sure why exactly you were kicked for it), so I have no worries about that. You've also stepped up your forum activity quite well, posting helpful responses to threads and posting a few suggestions of your own.

    One could argue that b0squet is the greatest argument ever against forum activity. That said, he isn't applying for jmod.

    Just my opinion, and perhaps its because my POV is different, but I don't think you have enough forum activity nor do I think it is consistent activity. Part of that isn't your fault, I wouldn't expect you to be particularly active while dealing with a category 4 hurricane. However you were only active on the forums for a short period of time and not with any consistency. While some of the threads/comments you made outside the teams section (most are from a month ago) are good to see it doesn't give me confidence that you'd continue to be active in future, with or without the tag.

    Yes I remember kicking you for continously flooding chat. I even have a video of it, instead of talking to a staff member about it, you just went on ahead and start spamming it. I had to ask someone else who knew about it, to figure out what it actually was. TS might not be a big thing for CTF mods but I have never ever seen you on. While I was playing for Kit JMod, I actively got on TS to talk to random people. As well as most of your forum activity not being consistent, you left for a while. -1

    To defend the applicant, we shouldn't judge people on ts because we don't bring it up on every applicant. Ts activity wasn't even mentioned on mine. Someone who flooded the chat, an extremely minor offense, over 2 months ago should not be denied for that. If our only issue with ningeek is that he obtained a minor offense about 2 months ago, I would say we have a potential jmod candidate. +1

    I did pm you on kitbrawl explaining the glitch. I thought I followed up with pms on discord, but apparently I didn't, which is my fault. If you needed help figuring out what the glitch was I was available to explain it.

    Yeah my ts activity is very lacking, I'll try to work on that. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks for the defense and the feedback :stuck_out_tongue:

    No-one who plays CTF uses TS. If Ningeek was active on TS, he wouldn't be any better as a staff member as he would be now. Just my thoughts on that, because I'll be really annoyed if we get another person denied from CTF staff because of lack of TS activity.

    What benefit would there be to you sitting in some chatroom doing nothing all day? Agreed with Tom and maryland. No one on CTF uses TS (even the staff don't use it). You don't, imo, need to work on TS and while I don't think you should be JMOD at this time it would be a shame if you were denied for that reason.

    You fixed every issue I had with you last time around. I've also talked 1 on 1 with you multiple times since and I think you're mature and willing to help out the server. +1

    +1. You've been posting general constructive comments in the CTF section and have been mature ever since your last application, without any rule violations of any sort too. You're a very friendly person active in-game and on the Forums, I personally do not mind if you're not active on TeamSpeak it is understandable due to the CTF community using discord and not TS. You've got my +1 but I'd like to see you be a bit more professional with posting at times it is a minor thing but it is just what I'd like to see.

    Anyways, +1 and good luck with your application nin.
