In the past, I've heard others complain that my application was long. Nothing has changed, if anything it's way longer. For this reason, I've put the longer answers in spoilers so that the information can be easier to digest. I'm happy to apply 3rd time around, and I wish the best of luck to everyone who will/has applied! Thank you for reading!

- Your previous experience as Admin or Moderator
I have experience serving as a staff member on a Minecraft server known as Cyclone Network for around 8-9 months, which I have shown proof to Spankyworld and will be more than happy to show other Admins if needed. During my time there, I’ve had experience as to how to handle players with issues such as server-related bugs, help with the server, and rule-breaking. Furthermore, I’ve learned to work cooperatively with other staff members to help maintain the server, which is arguably an important skill for anything having to do with working on a team.

No, but learning how to should be no problem.
- Why should we choose you to be part of our team?
A team is not to be comprised of one type of person. It should be comprised of multiple types of people, with different types of personalities, different standards, morals, etc. The benefit in having a team made up of different people is that everyone has a different perspective. Despite that I'm quiet and tend not to lure attention towards my direction, I'm hard-working and friendly as well. In terms of why you should choose me, well, I don’t expect you to, but I have a few reasons.
To start off, I’ve made multiple reports of rule-breakers which require effort and time. The decision to make reports when a lot of others don’t show that I possess some form of dedication to the community and willingness to make everyone’s experience more pleasant. While this is my third application, I’ve made two previous applications and went through being denied and marked invalid. I’d like to think that when someone applies multiple times, they will do anything to get the position. While online, I heavily utilize the CallAdmin feature to report more imminent rule-breakers so that an Admin has the chance to come on before I make a report on the forums. In addition, having experience staffing on other servers is not something everyone has and sets me apart from other applicants. Granted, it isn’t a necessity nor a deciding factor for an applicant, however it would make assimilating into the server less of a burden and much easier for myself. While I am not a person to get into trouble, I do not have any punishments on record except for an accidental gag from YourBiggestFan, and I strive to maintain a clean record.

Offenses relating to bans:
Stealing: A slay for each time someone steals, with 2 warnings being the equivalent of a ban for a 12-hour duration. Upon the ban expiring, if the player steals, the duration will increase to 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, then permanent. Nukes are exempt from this rule and players will not be punished should they steal one. Walling is also exempt if the players are not moving and they are in the track of a rocket without intentionally stepping into its path.
Hacking: While invisible, I will enter spectator mode and investigate the alleged hacker in question. If the player is in fact hacking I will record a demo of it for proof and ban permanently.
Body Blocking: I honestly am not sure with this one, I will probably need help from my mentor as I’ve rarely seen players punished for this rule.
Call Abuse: Again, I will probably need information on this rule as I’ve barely seen anyone get punished for it.
Offenses relating to mutes/gags:
I haven’t seen players punished in the form of mutes/gags as much as bans, so if I am incorrect please do feel free to tell me.
Spamming in chat/microphone: If a player is found spamming in their microphone or in chat they will be warned. If they continue, a gag/mute will be put for a duration of 12 hours. If they continue once the gag/mute expires, the duration will be extended for a day, 3 days, a week, and then perm.
Racism/Insulting: I’m not exactly sure if there’s a definite system for punishing players who put harsh text in chat, and my opinion of racism or insults may vary from other's. Based on experience, racism is offensive when it is directed towards someone or someone’s race/ethnicity with the intention of causing harm. Insulting a player would go as far as to hurt the player by joking with serious mental or physical issues, loved ones, status in life, or other areas.
