I have two examples for all three rules and I have over 150 words on the area's that say atleast 150 words,
I do not take applying for Moderator lightly as it is a serious thing to moderate on a server, not just to mess around.

Really?,

Well sorry for my mistake.

Also Phoenix I did type that out, thats what I generally feel.
I hate it when players ruin the game for others and myself.

Well you did it to me, then why is it bad?

Yess,

2 +Supports

1 -Support

Is it one more plus support and I get to trail as moderator?

These are not democratic decisions in their entirety.

Your supports do not matter - the ultimate decision is made by a super admin or higher, regardless of supports.

Playtime is decent.

English is adequate, I kept running out of breath reading bible-sized sentences. Also some spelling errors.

Bonding from my perspective is not ideal. I only recall seeing appeals and perhaps a report about you. I don't recall seeing you ingame.
Unfortunately, being on the receiving end of verbal abuse is something you have to tolerate a lot.

The application is adequate but not fantastic. The length is not surprising, and as much as quality surpasses quantity - take a look at my application. I could fish out more which are very similar if not greater in quality, but this is just the best example I know from the top of my head.

Examples such as the one phoenix pointed out are those which will get you brownie points for expanding further upon.

You have previously been banned for trouble making at one of the servers: http://zarpgaming.com/http://zarpgaming ... 6#msg14396

I correspond with what Prophet has said:Prophet wrote:
This is an invalid reason for a -Support, I check again and edited for actual play time on all the servers
I'm not going to take this as a proper support unless clarified by an Admin.

You can't pick and choose which +/- supports count on your app, there is no minimum game time but it does show experience if you have a lot. If he thinks you don't have enough game time then he is allowed to give a -S

At no point did he infer this. We might have candidates here that don't want to mess around, but there's other factors that can screw up this criteria. This includes but is not limited to:

• Inactive Moderating (just role playing without the use of powers, keeping all MoD allocation to a minimum)
• Biased Decision Making (using the powers portraying as if, I quote "not just to mess around" but still favoring your own party)
• Ineffective Moderation (being the wrong candidate - makes wrong decisions although they may feel it is correct)
• Non - Courteous Behavior (behaving in a disrespectful way towards people you are helping/punishing)

I do not imply that you would do such things, as I have no evidence to go upon that basis. I'm just saying that what you said isn't all that matters.

You seem to base your application completely on the support system. This is just something that users have adopted over time, but regardless - it plays a very small part in the selection of a member of staff. People do it to give their opinion - it's not a vote.

I've noticed some correlating negativity regarding yourself, and I'm not too big of a fan neither. Despite your previous ban being in the past - it still counts as a ban, and you did still act in violation of the rules.

But that's not my justification for the opinion I am about to give. I must say that your application is of an 'alright' standard - but your attitude towards your application does not feel right.

I have not really seen you alot in game while to claim to have played 135 hours. The app is OK but how you respond to propblems and how you respond to negative feedback is kind of done in a hatefull/childish way. If you can figure that out I might change my opinion but for now I give a - Support

Bat, the way I respond to that is because these people look rather like they are trying to stop me from becoming Moderator for no apparent reason, I'd also been banned for when I had just joined the server and it was for 1 hour, but somehow glitched and went for perm which we fixed.

I'd take the Moderator job allot more serious than I would of just being the average player.

Also to Christopher, I may sound rather snobby in my application but it's just answering some of the other players questions which they seem to of removed from the forums. Also I would not be inactive, or rude to other players I just find these other people apply for moderator who are trying to put me down rather annoying as I have done nothing to them for this abuse towards myself. I would not favor my own friends by abusing my powers like other Moderators I have once come across if that is how I've been looking I apologies .

Sorry for any of the inconvenient comments that I may of said in a time of misunderstanding.

Kevin, sorry but i'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here?

Could you put a clearer reason why you -Support, even though I have no problem with it.

To apologies for my rude behavior earlier on I am sorry for saying wrongly Phoenix and to Charlie for taking your -Support's to heart a bit more than I should of...

I now understand the reason's and shall take them as good criticism rather than insults.

Sorry for any misunderstandings along the way.

You seemed to have only taken up one argument from my point, and even then it's still misty - doesn't clear everything up, and I don't even know which point it refers to.

So my -support will remain.

You do seem like a good candidate, but there's lots of stuff to be cleaned up.

Also, don't triple post. Use the 'modify' button.

Sorry Christopher, I understand what you mean and I can see why you listed those problems I guess other Moderators have been like that after they have been accepted. I must say that I now understand everything and I'd say the problem with the other members is over but i'm not sure on their side. I'd not try and do everything my own way as a Moderator, as in the application template it talks about a mentor/trainer who would show you the ropes of things.

I'd hope that you can understand what I mean when I say I know I've said some wrong things but i'm just trying to clear them up and not make any more havoc than there needs to be.

Sorry if i'm sounding rude but has any super-admin or higher looked at my forum to decide?

Cool guy from what I've seen of him, but I haven't seen him all that much.
Neutral

Thanks

I've played with this guy a lot. I think he would make a good Moderator as I've not seen him break the rules. He should so give him a try for mod.
