Have you managed servers previously? No

On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?
JB US

Why would you like to become a moderator?
I feel like I could handle position like this well. I love playing jb, and I have made many friends while playing. From when I started playing everyday around 6 months ago, I have enjoyed playing with the community, and though there are various dramas or controversies, I still try to have fun.
Moderator wise, from my time as a donator, I feel like I know the rules and believe that I could enforce or inform someone on them if needed. During the times when I couldn't voteteamban or voteslay someone, waiting for a mod or admin to get on felt unfair to everyone playing, and to myself. All in all, I hope if something like this happens again that I could be there to do something about it.

Do you know or have spoken to any of the current staff members? Yes

Please let us know the names of staff members you know or have spoken to
Midnight Owl (Black Skull), CometPM, Rodd, Duck Lurch.

How often do you play TF2?
Most days of the week.

Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate

Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
As I have been a mod on much smaller servers in other games, I know the basics of a staff team such as ranking, individual responsibilities, etc. Though I am unable to get the contact info of any of the people I worked with therefore I checked no in the question provided.

I believe not everyone should be quickly perm banned as they have the ability to change, therefore my ladders may seem slightly lenient. Cheaters on the other hand do not get this leniency.

Accepted or not, I enjoyed making this application and I appreciate the opportunity to even apply. Thank you!

If I am required to change anything on my app please inform me..

Are you proficient in languages other than English? No.

Hello bergenco

You've made a very sufficent application. Pretty clean logs, and donor voting history. Zero punishments on-record

One quick question questions for you.

cheating with evidence: perm ban

What software will you be recording with?

Also I will also comment that this applies to inappropriate objectors as well.

NSFW spray: perm spray ban until user changes spray

Final recommendations would be to stay active and explore/interact with our discord and other forum posts. Asides from that I think you'd make a great addition to our staff team.

+support and good luck on the app!

 

[bergenco]

Hello @Ash Shaw ! I will be recording with Medal clipping software (at medal.tv). It is the software I currently use casually and it does a pretty good job.

Also, my app has been edited accordingly.
I will try to be more active on forums and servers. Thank you for the help!

Hello bergenco,

Good to see you apply staff here. Overall I don't have any issue with you and your punishment history is clean! I checked over your command log and seems nothing struck out, so I will take a grain of salt that you know the rule pretty well, and I don't see any issue with your donor perk.

It seems you are a pretty much better candidate for Jailbreak staff than other applicants who are applying for JB staff.

Thank you Darkness Owl! I put a lot of work into this app lol...

Edit: Removed section about not using mic often. I am now comfortable with using my mic in JB servers, and have been playing on blu as warden very often.

That explains your performance last night, I suppose.
I think you need a bit more time learning the fundamentals of guard play, you seem inexperienced with both the giving and running of LRs.

Hello 10000 Cold Knights.

I agree 100%. I am very inexperienced with the warden role and the blu team in general, but I still believe that I have a very well understanding of the rules, and as I improve as a guard, I gain a better understanding of these rules and how they work.

I understand that even though I may not have the qualities of a good guard, I believe I may have the qualities required for someone in a moderative position.

For now, I will keep trying to improve as a guard so I don't disappoint whoever may be watching.

Thank you for your feedback, 10000 Cold Knights!

Edit: Added more staff I've spoken to and gotten the permission of under the
section provided.
(+CometPM, Rodd, Duck Lurch)

Added demos as a secondary use of clipping/recording.

Edited various other things in and out aswell.

 

[seraphina]

As of now it is 64 days old, but you were teambanned for MFK on January 1st
However it's great to see you active on servers, discord, and forums- I think you're a promising applicant
Best of luck

 

[StenRodd]

Hello there bergenco, you have been one of the good players of JB server, you have assisted and helped us dealing with players who are breaking rules. You haven't caused any problems to servers and you're not being a troll and obnoxious to staff which is great.
I wish you best of luck joining the team, it would be great if i had another helping hand in Jailbreak.
+support

 

[bergenco]

Hello Seraphina and Rodd,

(Seraphina) Thank you for your input, seeing especially as you don't comment past the beginning stats very often. As for the punishment, I don't have much to say since it was an accident.. Regardless, thank you for being as helpful on the forums and discord as you are!

(Rodd) Thank you for the reply, and for being a really fun and helpful mod on jb as well! I hope to able to do what you do one day.. (On jailbreak at least.)

 

[FishCrimes]

Hello Bergen,

Thank you for such an effortful app. It is really a breath of fresh air to read a meticulous punishment ladder and a passionate few paragraphs of why you want to volunteer your time. In addition to this, you were also very gracious in the face of constructive criticism. This application and your replies should serve as a model for others that wish to apply- and before I get clipped out of context, I don't mean plagiarize/copy this app. I mean be genuine and put in some effort; it takes you a long way.

 

[bergenco]

Thank you FishCrimes!

 

[PanYo]

Congrats!!

 

[Jermbo]

Proud of you son!
