My first name is Maxx and that is what I wish to be addressed as.
Age:
I am currently fifteen years of age.
Location and timezone:
I live in New York, USA. My timezone is EST (Eastern Standard Time).
What you are applying for:
I am applying for the position of moderator, and if you need someone to manage the forum I can do that as well.
Why do you want to apply:
Minecraft has made me who I am today. All of my experiences from moderating popular servers, from working support at numerous hosting companies. I have recently found myself with a lot more free time than I usually do and I feel that this server specifically is something that I'd feel that is worth dedicating my time to.
How much time do you have every day to be active, whether it be in game or website/forum:can
I can be active around one to three hours each day on the server. As for the forums, I tend to be very active on those and will definitely check that frequently.
If still available, I would like to apply for the position of administrator.
What time are you most often on? (your time) -
Generally, I find myself exploring a cave or punching a tree after school. The morning tends to get crazy but I’ve been known to build a block or two. (6:00AM - 7:00AM, 3:00PM - 9:00PM) On the weekends, I've avalible pretty much all day other than church on Sunday morning.
How many languages are you fluent in?
I am fluent in English, and know enough Spanish to be able to read it. However, in order to provide support to all players from everywhere in the world, I have no problem using Google Translate.
When did you first start playing Minecraft, how often do you play now? -
I first started to play Minecraft in November of 2012. I still play a fair amount, around a few hours each day.
How mature do you think you are on a scale of 1/10? -
This is a hard question to answer, mainly because maturity isn't rated on a 1-10 scale. However, because you ask, I'll say around a nine.
What do you think makes a good staff member? -
There’s one word- communication. Communicating with the team of staff is the most efficient way of moderation and administration. Working as a staff member isn’t independent what so ever, we all have the same end task, and we can only achieve that by actively communicating.
Have you ever been banned or temp banned on another server? (If yes, please state why) -
No, I haven't.
What is your previous experience in any type of moderation? –
I have experiance and both server moderation and forum moderation. Most of my server moderation skills come from a server called EDawg878 Creative, a server that topped 800 players back when I was a moderator there. Most of the time you were the only moderator online, so communication was key on the forums to moderate efficiently and make sure everyone was on the same page. I used to own a forum back in 2013, so I have expriance with forum moderation and administration. I also have server administration experiance as I've owned two successful servers in the past and was in the hosting business for quite some time.
How many hours can you contribute per day? -
I can contribute around one to three hours each day.
What would you be able to do that others can't? -
With my experiance that many others do not process, I have acquired the skills that many others do not have. I also have worked in the hosting business, which has taught me skills that no one else applying will have.
What advice would you give staff who had to deal with younger players? -
They're only kids. Treat them like it.
Do you have Skype? If yes, what is your skype name? (We will only use this to contact you if your application is accepted) -
My Skype is maxxb567.
Are you able to record videos of the server? –
No, I cannot. Sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Do you have any skills/experience in the following (CSS, HTML, PHP, Java, Linux, ect.) –
Yes. HTML, CSS, and Java.
Anything else you want to tell us? -
No, not really.
Part Two - Reactions to different scenarios
In this section, we will list several scenarios that you could face as a staff member. Please answer these in full detail, in no more than 5-6 sentences.
A player tells you via Private Message that another player is hacking. You go to check it out, but you don't see any noticeable signs of hacking. What do you do?
If the player was able to provide proof of hacking, I would temporarily ban the player for hacking. Otherwise, I would check the "hacker" out for awhile and see if he hacks, if the doesn't I wouldn't do anything.
A player finds a exploit that gives them unlimited money. What do you do?
I would tell the player he can no longer use this exploit as well as everyone else and set his balance to the original amount.
You see a hole in the ground leading to a raided base. What do you do?
If it's a raid sever, nothing. Otherwise, I would punish the player based on severity of the raid and other factors.
You invite your friend to the server, but he starts hacking and advertising his server. What do you do?
I would ban him. I promised the keep the server safe from that kind of person, so I'd what's best.
You see a player threatening to DDOS another player and/or the server. What do you do?
I'd ban him. I don't need people threatening players that they'll DDoS them.
Thanks for reading my application. Have a good day.
How did you hear about the server: I used to play on The Vanilla Life back when that was open. Out of curiousity, I checked the website and to my amazement a new server was started so I decided I'd apply here.
What got you interested in the server: As a said above, I've been a member of the community for a while now. It's hard to think that far back, but I think it was the feel of the community that I really loved and really sparked my interest.
------------------------------------------------------- Solo/Group: I tend to be welcoming, but most of the time I do stuff on my own. However, I'm always up for a group project with friends.
PvP/Non-PvP: I've never found that much interest in PvP, but sometimes it's a good way to relieve stress. So if me and a person agree to PvP, I'd be up for it.
Leader/Follower: This one is a little hard to answer. I enjoy the position of leadership but sometimes I like to lay back and just follow other people.
Giver/Taker: Giver, definitely. I'm always one to give something to anyone when they need it.
About me: There isn't too much, really. I'm just an old member of the community who wants to help out and come back.
---
As said above, generally any file from a reputable source should be safe to download. Of course, a little smarts is always good to make sure you know what you're installing.
without money or offering an example of what you could offer, i doubt you will get many takers/offers. I am included in that, while I have things to offer.
My name is Maxx. I wanted to know if anyone is interested in starting a company that has the funds to do so. I have much experience to offer, mainly coming from me being the COO of PrimaNode. If you're interested, go ahead and drop me a Skype request.
I would have done what KZN Hosting Said to do, I was interested! But if you aren't willing to put in work to the post that you have why should I put in the work to setup a server(s) for you guys? This money would be coming out my pocket not The Server Network.
I would use the template and edit the post, Best of luck.
I'm glad you were interested, it seems that other hosting companies understand the way I work and were happy to send me a Skype request regarding the sponsorship.
If you're after a sponsorship, I'd recommend using this guide and to edit your post. It's much more appealing to server hosts than a message saying you've already been sponsored as it tells us about you, your community, your goals and what you're looking for as well as able to provide in return to the host. Best of luck! :-)
Thanks for your feedback, but I do not wish to edit my message.
