Why would you like to be a staff member? There are multiple reason's why I'd like to be staff. One of them being that I love the server, I played back from v1-v5 and have recently come back for v11 and love it as well as the community. I feel as a staff member that I could play a bigger part in the community, and help out any new, or even experienced players on the server. I also like welcoming new members into the community, and would aim to help them in any way I could to adjust to the way the server works. Another reason I would like to be staff is that sometimes, due to my timezone, I'll find very few staff online when I'm logging on, and some players use this to their advantage to break rules in an attempt to get away with it. I would be able to punish them as I'm usually online when this is happening. My final reason for wanting to be staff is to make the server a better place in general. Whether this means me muting players for inappropriate use of chat, banning people for cheating or another bannable offence or even just reporting bugs to higher up staff, it'll all help to make the server a safer and better place for us all.
What makes you stand out over other applicants?
There are a few things that make me stand out over other applicants. One of which is that I know a lot of the community, having played from v1-v5 and for a bit of v11, I have met a very large portion of the active community. Some of them I know from earlier versions and some I have just recently become friends with. I'd say I'm a rather well known member of the community, mainly on lollipop but even somewhat on caramel and so feel as though other players can speak to me about any problems they have as a friend, rather than just a member of the community. Another reason I stand out is that I am very familiar with the server, and may know a lot more commands or features that a player could need than somebody who's not played for as long as I have. I also average a typing speed of 88wpm, meaning I can punish or help players quicker than some others may.
How active are you on the server? Describe your typical availability.
As of right now I'm online from about 10AM-2AM (GMT) with some small breaks in-between. After this pandemic has gone I will still be online for similar times.
My availability once September comes will be the following:
Monday-Thursday: 5PM-12PM
Friday: 5PM-2AM
Saturday: 10AM-2AM
Sunday: 10AM-11PM
What previous experience do you have with server moderation? If none, leave blank.
I have been helper once on a very small server called RainyEuphoria on which I was helper for just over a month, however the server closed and reopened as the Idlylace Realm but I stopped playing once the original server went down.
When did you join OPBlocks?
I don't know the exact date but some point in 2016, back when OPBlocks was still in v1.
Do you have any previous punishments on any server/s? If so, explain.
I have been banned on various servers for using a hacked client in PvP, however, all of these bans were 2+ years ago, and I have stopped using clients and also stopped PvPing long since then. I have been muted and warned a few times on here as of recent, which was the week that I started playing OPBlocks again (around 3 and a half weeks ago), I was being immature and not expecting to stay on the server therefore won't act like that again.
Are you able to record in viewable quality?
Yes I'm able to record in viewable quality.
How many applications have you made prior to this? What date?
I have made one application in the past on the 8th of February, 2017.
Anything else?
I'm looking forward to all your responses.
SCENARIOS
You notice the server is offline. What do you do?
I would inform one of the higher staff of this issue and try to keep any players calm whilst it's being dealt with.
You are arguing with a player who starts attacking you. What do you do?
In the past I would have probably argued back, however I have matured since and so would aim to calm the situation down and if the player proceeded to be hostile then I would punish them accordingly.
You catch a friend breaking the rules. How would you approach this situation?
I would treat this as I would with any player, I would punish them based on whatever the situation is, regardless of how friendly I am with them.
If a rule has been broken but is not fully explained, what will you do?
If it's something that's not explained completely in the rules, then I would give them a verbal warning and consult another member of staff to get their opinion on it so I can further act on the situation. If it's something I thing I can deal with myself then I'll punish them based off of my knowledge.
