Epic Ben's Moderator Application - Epic Ben - 07-04-2012
In-game name: Epic Ben
Forums name: Epic Ben
Timezone(GMT +/- ?): GMT+0
Do you play over the night?: At the weekends
Average of time you play a week: About 50-80 hours (I didn't play anywhere near as much when I first joined)
Are you active on the forums: Yes, I'm always on the forums but don't post much
How long have you played SilabGarza: For years, I can't remember when I joined
What is your Activity Points ingame?:
Have you read the moderator requirements?: yes
Do you have 300 posts REQUIRED to post a moderator application?: yep
NOTE: If you do NOT read the requirements, and you post a moderator application, you will be disqualified
as moderator for the rest of your game play on SilabGarza on any and all accounts...
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?: yup
Explain why you should be mod (100 words minimum, do not be repetitive): So, why didn't I make a mod app earlier? Basically, throughout my time at SilabGarza I have been skilling, improving and creating pages/tables for the wiki and helping people. I didn't consider being a moderator as necessary in order to help people, or even as one of my goals. I have no experience moderating, but I have a lot of experience playing the server and know almost everything there is to know about it. I know how to deal with nearly any situation thrown at me and how to diffuse situations in which tempers are boiling and people are raging. Even though I have never been a staff member before, I hope my experience will lead to fewer mistakes or even none at all.
Now that I'm not skilling as much as I used to, I have time to not only help people but also to moderate (I'm also very active on the chatbox). I find it sad that help calls are often not answered due to the fact that staff members simply aren't online, or in some cases are busy/inattentive. Frequently, in the morning/early afternoon there are no staff members online (probably because most of them are asleep.) I deal with a lot of people pming me for advice as I always answer promptly, fully and I make sure that my response is of quality. I would hate to infect any mind with bad or lacking information and I have what some would call a compulsion to give all relevant details in order to better (even if slightly) the collective knowledge of the SilabGarza community. Also, the people that I share information with will probably pass it on to others in the future.
If I came across a situation in which I had to make a decision involving banning or muting someone, I would first investigate and ensure that justice is served accurately instead of handing out punishments without much thought (as this could lead to someone paying for another's crime). Having said that, I am aware of how deceptive and sneaky people can be here, and I would take people's views into account but would not let any of them affect my final decision. Flaming and insults don't really have an effect on me any more and I would behave as objectively as possible regardless of past interaction I may have experienced with someone.
I spend most of my time just standing around talking to people while I train or mming stakes while I wait for herbs to grow. Now that I have completed my goal (apart from farming of course), I have a lot of time on my hands which could be spent handling situations that only a moderator could resolve. Really, I just want to get more involved in SilabGarza.
Lastly, some of you will know me as one of the people to go to when in need of help. A few will know me as the one that makes bad jokes and occasionally makes you laugh, and a few will think of me as a terrible troll that skills too much. Whatever you think, I assure you that if I am given this position, I will not disappoint.
Anything else you would like us to know: I didn't bother altering the font, position or colour of the text much, as I find this complicates the reading process.
Oh and since being hacked I've made sure my account is absolutely secure with daily virus scans and protection. It won't happen again. This is a repost of my old app.

I've never had anything against you, sorry if it seemed that way.
You seem to know what you're doing, so good luck.
Don't screw up.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
SlimBailey Wrote:[COLOR="White"][SIZE="2"]My vote changing to a yes.
In all honesty, my vote was on how I saw you act a month back.
However... Over the past few days I've noticed you act pretty mature, helping people, mming etc.
Got my support for now.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

N0vlafye Wrote:[COLOR="Lime"][SIZE="3"]I'd like to change my vote from a no to a yes. My main concern was that you'd get hacked again, but I believe that sufficient time has passed to prove that your account is safe.
Good luck! ^^[/SIZE][/COLOR]
Novus Anima Wrote:The security breach is something I can overlook if you are truly conscious about it. My reserves about security are due to some past occurrences on old servers that didn't end well, so I am generally very cautious when it comes to the aspect of account security.
You can consider this reply a yes vote. My voting (on the poll) was done a while back, and it appears I was focusing too much on my past reservations about you.
My vote holds so long as you can be yourself. When you're being yourself, I find that your posts and general messages are enjoyable to read.
F0x Rider Wrote:[COLOR="White"][SIZE="2"]After seeing him more ingame, agreed.
Change my vote from a "No" to a "Yes". You're a great guy Ben and furthermore, you know more about the game then I or many others who have applied.
I wish you the best of luck.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

I support, I bet ben was targeted just cuz a guy wanted to ruin his mod chances

[COLOR="White"][SIZE="2"]I'm gonna have to say no. You can act pretty damn immature at times, and it's just not funny.
Maybe at a later time? I don't know. Just not now.
/No support, bud.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

I'm gonna have to agree with Slim.

[SIZE="2"]Pretty sure I said not to apply again but I guess you have no respect for what I say and feel the need to ignore it and do what you want.
That's a GREAT way to get mod ^^
Your account gets hacked, and you spam advertisements to other players to get
them to join a different server, and now you think I'm going to promote you?
You can't even keep your account in your own hands.
Do you really think I'm going to risk my server and my players because you're
unable to not give out your password or download shit to get yourself infected?[/SIZE]
Epic Ben's Moderator Application - Skilla K? - 07-04-2012
[COLOR="Wheat"][SIZE="2"]This is pathetic.
You got declined last time because your account got hacked and Brit said no because she isn't promoting someone who can't even keep their account safe.
Which was about 1 month exactly give or take a few days.
And now you just copy and paste that same mod app from before and don't have the decency to write something new/too lazy.
Old app: http://sg-forum.info/game/moderator-application/declined-apps/130235-epic-bens-moderator-application.html
No from me mate at the moment. Try again in the future.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]I don't know. You're not as active as I would see you to.
And the fact that you got your account hacked makes it even more doubtfull....
I voted yes on your previous one because you were active as hell, and you hadn't got your account hacked yet....
/no support

I don't know if or where you told me not to repost but if I thought you had I obviously wouldn't have reposted it. And I hope you know that it wasn't me who spammed advertisements, that was the hacker.
I didn't tell anyone my password or download anything dodgy, I guess I must have been keylogged but I don't know how. I can assure you that I have no viruses and therefore no keylogs. I realise I was stupid to get hacked.

Because I'm doing all I can to make sure it doesn't which I assume is enough to ensure it won't. Virus scans daily, internet security, not downloading anything/clicking on links. I won't get hacked again.
