Have you managed servers previously? No
On what servers do you usually play on and which one would you like to moderate?
LA Jailbreak is by far my main server and the server I'd like to watch over the most. I also spend a decent amount of time on US2Fort when LA's empty, and as such would also like to moderate there. I don't do nearly as much on AUS Jailbreak as I do LA, but would also like to be mod there in case of an emergency. While it would be nice to also moderate UK VSH Skyhigh 24/7, I'm not quite comfortable enough with its rules other than "Thou Shalt not Spam Comms," so I'd rather not have perms there.
Why would you like to become a moderator?
Simply put, It's a way for me to give back. Reporting a mass freekiller or a cheater ensures they'll be punished, yes, but they're free to disrupt the rest of the server until the report is resolved, which in even the fastest cases still leaves them 5-10 minutes to wreak havoc, usually much longer. Putting in the work required to take care of the problem myself, and not having to wait for another staff member to review reports, is the least I can do for a community I've spent so much time on already. I've also received more than a fair share of encouragement to do so from both the regulars and some staff here, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Bans: Was banned by Will for MFK back in February, appeal is here: https://blackwonder.tf/threads/10000-cold-knights-ban-appeal.15788/
Comms: https://bans.blackwonder.tf/index.php?p=commslist&searchText=10000+Cold+Knights&Submit=Search
Most of these are for MFK, which leads me to my last note.
Certain staff members were curious as to why I've held off on applying till now, and I promised them an explanation on my app, so here we go. As I'm sure most of you are aware, I was teambanned back in late April for effectively MFK for a month (it was originally even longer, but Herald decided to give me another chance, thx man). During this time, I took a break from Blackwonder, a decision that I held to even after the punishment was reduced, to think about some things. It was a rough couple of weeks. I came to realize that I'd failed everyone, that in my efforts to secure wins for the blu team I was being overzealous and breaking rules I'd chastised others for disobeying. I knew that if I kept it up, I would inevitably be permanently teambanned, and that I had to tone back my competitive edge and focus more on the rules in order for me to ever have a chance here again. And so I did. It took some time, and there were a few bumps along the way, but after a while I convinced myself that maybe one day, I could even try to apply for staff if things kept going like they were.
Which leads me to today's Date.
It's no accident that I made this on Halloween. I had previously planned on making an app on my birthday back in June, but everything spiraled out of control a month before I planned on applying. I had no intention of making such a mistake again, so I promised myself that I'd hold off on making any sort of app until today, to prove to myself that I could handle the responsibility. And now that day has come. I also enjoy making reports quite a bit, so that also factored into things somewhat ;p
