How many hours per day: Anywhere from 1-5+ hours a day depending on work; I'm almost always online from 10pm - around 3am EST
Why you want this role: I want this role mainly because I enjoy helping others. Since day one on this server I have been helping others the best I can. For example, many users who log in their first time almost always ask how to get membership. I am always one of the people (in many cases the first) to explain to them that they have to register on the forums. I haven't had a whole lot of experience on this server as I have only been playing on it for about a week at the time I'm writing this. But I personally believe that I have a lot to offer in terms of being a moderator. I like helping other users because of the feeling it gives me knowing that I can make their experience in this server even better; because they know the player's and mod's are very supportive. A lot of server's don't have the kind of support this one does and I think first impressions go a long way, in terms of sticking with a server. Helpful moderator's make any server a good server. People need to know that they have support to lean on when they are griefed, or being cursed at, or any other thing certain players do to ruin the experience. I do not want this position for personal gain. In the past week I have made my own shop, which i sell almost everything at the price for which I could sell it to the general market. I do this because instead of selling to the general market, I can sell these items to the player's who need them, at low cost to them. And in doing so I still make enough Noobz to keep my store afloat. I know sometimes it's hard for some users to start on a new server, especially a survival server. I find that I get the most enjoyment from talking to other player's and trying to keep everyone in a positive mood. I don't like cursing and I find it very disrespectful when others curse at someone, I may be strict about this but I will give a fair warning before issuing the ban hammer. I admit I don't know much about team speak or any mod commands, but I am a fast learner. If I get selected to be a moderator I intend to help anyone I can, however I can.
Past experience: In the past I have played on server's where the mods are extremely strict. One typo curse word or annoying the mods would result in a ban. This sickens me. Now I don't like cursing but I do know that typo's occur and no one should be banned for that, unless they repeatedly do it even after a warning. My last server I was banned because I asked for a mod's help on /helpop. The mod didn't like the fact that I asked there and then asked again after no one responded for 20 minutes. I think that if a mod is online they should be the first to help a player with what they need, instead of just simply ignoring them and then banning them because they still ask for help. I have no experience as a moderator but as I said before I am a quick learner and I have a deep desire to help players, especially after the way I seen mods abuse their power in the last server.
Time zone: I live in the EST time zone.
Additional information: In the past week that I've been on this server, moderator's are usually online, but I've noticed a few occasions where no mods where online and people were needing help. I play a lot after work and usually up until about 3 am or so. So I will most likely be online to help when other mod's cannot. I really hope you decide that I'm the right candidate for the job, and thank you very much for taking the time to read my resume.
