Fallen Rib
So I have finally decided to apply for the position of moderator so here goes
How old are you? 16

Your in-game name: Kinsey_Kid

What timezone are you in? GMT (0:00)

What country do you live in? England

What languages do you speak? English

Why do you think you should become a mod?

Active

Everyone can say that they are active and that they spend lots of time playing on the servers however that is only half of it, I spend a large portion of my time not only playing mineverse trying to root out hackers, scammers and advertisers but also trying to assist people on the forums too, Currently I'm unable to help with reports due to not actually being a moderator but I do assist where I can.

Knowledge On Moderating

I know all of the commands that I would need to assist in the moderating of the server.

/ban (Username) (Reason)

/Tempban (Username) (Reason) (Length of time)

/mute (Player)

/kick (Player) (Reason)


Maturity

Due to my upbringing I've learned from a young age that if you want respect from someone then you need to show them respect first and believe me that is something that I am more than willing to do. I also know that people are going to give me a tough time and others of them are going to question my judgement but that happens in everyday life and it's something that I do already deal with outside of Minecraft.

A Quick Learner

Something that I would say is a skill is my ability to learn new traits and skills quickly, If the rules of the server change then the way I moderate will change, An example of this is when fly glitching on Skyblock became no longer bannable, Before this announcement I would actively report anyone who broke this rule however the moment it became no longer an offence I stopped

Reports

Most of the mods will know that if I spend a whole day playing Minecraft I will end up reporting between 5 and 15 people. If I were to become a moderator.
I have personally reported over 150 people now roughly 25 of which have been video recordings, I do not fight very well in pvp however in things like survival I am more than happy to sit in /v and record a fight to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Yes I will openly admit sometimes I do get things wrong however I believe this experience in reporting people gives me and edge over many other possible moderators, again I could be wrong but I think at the very least it helps

Friendly

If someone asks for HELP then I am more than happy to help them out in whatever way I can however I do not just hand money or equipment out though. If anyone joins the game then I will be one of the first to say welcome.

Unbiased

Again this is something that I would need the current moderators to verify for you but I don't show biased in my reports in any way to the point I will report someone no matter who they are to me even if they are one of my closest friends.

Honesty

I will not lie to someone no matter who they are no matter what they have done to me or anybody else as something isn't worth saying if it isn't 100% honest. If you ask me a question then I will do my best to answer it and if I do then it will be the truth, however these questions need to be reasonable as I'm not going to just tell you my password and email address.

Helpful

Something that I already try to do is be helpful in game however I also try and do this on the forums too, this I will have to admit is not easy and I do miss things but I'm not a one man army, I wish to join the team and hopefully we can work together to make the server a better place.

What I want to do

Advertisers have begun to take over more and more and I know for a fact that it winds people up a lot and this is something that due to my activity and time zone I think that I could assist in cleaning up the server and removing all of these advertisers from the server as quick as possible this however isn't limited to just advertisers, I want to stop all types of rule breakers.

Supportive

Again I already support people mentally and emotionally in day to day life and I would simply be transferring my skills across to in game. I can't give any examples because whatever I hear from someone is strictly confidential if its about something in real life or about a serious topic.

How long can you be active on the server everyday?

Weekdays:

Ingame: 4-5 hours

Forums: 2-3 hours (Please note this is comletely seperate to ingame time)

Weekends:

Ingame: Up to 7 hours

Forums: 2-3 hours

How long have you been playing Mineverse?

Since July 2014 In game and Since August 2014 on the forums

Have you ever been banned in the past?

Yes, Firstly was for having a casino on Skyblock back in July 2014 which was not fully stocked, second for having a fancy chat mod on infection which as soon as this was explained and confirmed to be unbannable I was unbanned straight away.


Do you have any past experience as a moderator? 

I have been a moderator on a very unknown server and I even tried to run my own for a while which means I know the commands however have had very little opportunities to put this knowledge into practice.

Final words

Well I would just like to thank you for taking the time to read my application, Please leave any comments you want to make below and I will try and do my best in replying to them all as quickly as I can.

I think that a mod should ban blatant rule breakers, and moderate

code:
to make (something) less harsh, strong, or severe or to become less harsh, strong, or severe (merriam webster)
strained interposter relations. It's like what police should do. Police shouldn't be a HAMMER or SWORD, they should be a part of the community and not preside as some distant, aloof being.

Clearly the issue arises when we say "blatant rule breakers". As we all know, no discussion lacks complexity in perspectives, that's kind of a given.

I think that the IK system should be brought (back) to gbs. Rotating the position of referee is a way to keep everyone from feeling disenfranchised. Fyad's method of choosing an IK is a good one, but it relies on a "homogeneous" conception of "what should be". It's kind of like how any democracy gets started. A bunch of people have the same ideas, and feel comfortable sharing power and security with others in that group.

The alternative is authoritarian rule. I find lowtax to be a generally wise and fair leader, with the well-being of his people always his goal, similarly with gnarlyhotep, to an extent. The problem is that lowtax and others cannot be everywhere, and he has numerous other responsibilities than moderating cat fights between nerds on the internet. A dictatorship lies within the heart of its dictator, and having a lovely dictator is bad. Read the word "dictator" not as coming from the political buzzword that "dictatorship" has become, but rather coming from "dictate".

code:
to say or state (something) with authority or power (Merriam Webster)
The dictator dictates from the heart. The condition of the dictatorship relies on that. I believe that, because of lowtax's disinterest in becoming and taking advantage of a "celebrity" status, or "beloved leader", or whatever rear end in a top hat totalitarian leaders have had people brainwashed into calling them, it means that he is the right choice for power. "The people who seek power are those who deserve it least".

I trust both models of authoritarianism and democracy to decay into lovely corrupt shells of what they were designed as, but as long as we keep trying to fight that decayed power structure, we have a chance to get back to the beginning, where we can try again. Because what is life but persistence incarnate?

i would probate this post, as mod. 3 days of probation for writing too many words and using the dictionary as reference. sheesh.
