You've got quite a history of micspam, too.

Good evening, I will review your application as you've mentioned me in your application.

1. Please refrain from mentioning people in your app that did not allow this or the reasoning under.
1.1



2. I would love to see a bit more detail in your application. This seems rushed from the ground up for all the questions you answered, I wouldn't only put 3 reasons in or 2 sentences. When you're applying for a position that gives you most part a lot of power over a server I at least expect way more than this. Take your time to put in details and way more effort into your application.

2.1 Make sure to keep chat logs cleared for future comments this will influence you much worse.

2.2 At " Why would you like to become a moderator? "
Try to add these,


To give a clear understanding of the above,
"Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate"
You replied with "public execution". I wouldn't do that, this role as Moderator must be taken seriously we represent the users and make sure to have a clean & clear community. I'd suggest you do "Ladder Stacking" meaning protocols on how you will deal with them, some examples "Mic spam" "Freekill" and so on.

3. As you can see above from Chriss you've got a lot of mutes for the same stuff reasonings. If for mic spamming that is 0 tolerance don't do it again

Hi, adding a couple of things.

I'm happy to have helped you but I don't know you at all outside the one interaction we had on Discord.

3 concerns with your application motives:

Why would you like to become a moderator?
I would like to experience how to moderate a server as I believe it would be a useful observation of how to deal with rule breakers and I would also add in more fun elements to the server (and also Clout).

Although we have never required applicants to have any prior experience moderating servers, there is still an expectation that staff joining the team should already know how to deal with rulebreakers- proper punishment and proper length. That can be observed without needing to be a moderator. Reporting rulebreakers is one of the ways you can familiarize yourself with rules and punishments.
What do "fun elements to the server" entail?
Appreciate the honesty but do you think that applying for "clout" is a good idea?

Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
For Jailbreak, Swift and quick bans or mutes to rule breakers or a "public execution" sort of event if the player has done the same act multiple times.

This doesn't show us that you have an understanding of the rules at all, or their proper punishments. I don't know what a "public execution" would look like but that sounds like an extremely uncool way of flaunting power. You alone should be setting a good example to players to follow the rules, not humiliating players to scare others or create entertainment from them.

You have a messy history and an application that highlights qualities we're not looking for. If you stay out of trouble and give some extended thought to genuinely helping our servers, then we'd love to have you apply again. I cannot support your application in its current state

Thank you all for the extremely helpful advice on making an appeal. You have all raised noticeable points of error I have made with my current appeal which I shall be keeping heavily in mind with my second appeal. I was unaware that being muted multiple months after the punishment was made still meant that it was within a 60 day radius. Seraphim made a good point about a "public execution" being more of a showing of power than anything else and saying that I knew you based on the one interaction we've had was pushing it. Chris TTC, my reasoning of "for clout" was purely a jest, I do not intend to gain any form of gain from being a Moderator apart from experience. I will make a second appeal in a few months from today, mindful of the advice and concerns you have brought up.

Thanks for being receptive to feedback and admitting that your application needs a lot of work. You should take some time to play on the servers without getting punished, and when you feel ready, put some effort behind a more substantive app.
