Read and think before you post
Old application; popularity land-slide, this one's much stronger though.

Do you play over the night? If I don't, I'm usually awake early in the morning
Average of time you play a week: 3 hours a day usually, this calculates to 21 hours in a week
Are you active on the forums: Check my shiny medal ;D
How long have you played SilabGarza: close to 3 years
What is your Activity Points ingame?: 4980, 3 Days 11 hours (I’ll talk about that later, keep reading >_>)
Have you read the moderator requirements?: I have
Do you have 300 posts REQUIRED to post a moderator application? I wouldn't be posting otherwise, sir
[COLOR="PaleGreen"]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...[/COLOR]
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?: I do
Explain why you should be mod (100 words minimum, do not be repetitive):
First of all this isn't one of your half-assed applications and if you're not prepared to read all of it, I strongly advise you to hold your vote; it’s vital that you understand why I’m applying. If you have any personal disputes concerning me, disregard them for this one-time because this thread isn’t about our relationship, but possibly my chances of helping out Brittany/SilabGarza in becoming a moderator.
I’ll shortly discuss myself in relevance; to anyone that doesn’t know, I’ve been promoted to moderator twice (June 09’, January 10’
and performed to the best of my ability. You’re probably asking, “so what if you’re mod twice, it doesn’t mean you deserve it again” Well you’re right, by no means am I claiming I should get a staff place simply because I’m an ex-mod, but from those chances I’ve gained experience; something that is very valuable. I’m not new to moderating and I know how to take care of situations as well as dealing with them quickly (on a server with 400+ players, time is crucial).
Though I might be a little rusty, there’s no wasted time in “learning the ropes” or making minor/silly mistakes. I can carefully decide what will bring the better outcome; e.g. someone flaming, I’d rather jail to talk to them/find out what’s wrong, as there might have been provocation or intentional baiting and I would want to punish the person who started it. (Don’t get me wrong though, it’s situational and fair differently every time... I’m merely creating a scenario.) My judgment is usually kind-hearted, I’ll give warning to those oblivious to minor offences while to the others who x-log/advertise/ continuously offend; I’ll come down on them like a ton of bricks. I’m also very blunt/harsh which might show through my decisions but I’m only thinking of what would benefit the server. Under no circumstances would I take this role as a sham and jail people for a “joke” Eh Agent?
Regarding to my activity in-game, which might put people off voting “yes”, I’ll explain briefly that I rarely play SilabGarza for self-entertainment. The majority of my time online is spent Pming people and camping ::home, sometimes I skill or decide to PvM but that’s rare; I prefer to converse or interact with people. I’m prepared to be active, to stay online and deal with ::help/report/appeals or anyone who needs assistance; there are times where Brittany is busy so people can’t always talk to her, I usually try and help by talking to her about what they need. If given the chance, I’d be online as much as I can; I’m not saying I can be online 24/7 but I’ll damn well try.
There’s also something I wanna get off my chest, it’s about how much hate I’ve been receiving with the term “modhunter”, I don’t get it. Previously mentioned there’s not much incentive keeping me in-game, I might not PK, PvM or skill as intensively as you, so instead I find people to help... now ask yourself does that give you a reason to name-call and hate? I don’t complain about you playing the game and not helping people, you shouldn’t do the same. What bothers me the most is that if you’re not at ::home, people state that you don’t help anybody and if you do, you’re allegedly a modhunter; honestly how do you please this community?
I have to conclude my application before people complain about how excessive it is, before we part I’ll ask one thing of you, give me another chance...the community, you too Mom, if you’re reading this; I won’t disappoint you.
Anything else you would like us to know: It’s 6:39AM... if I made any grammar mistakes, my apologies. Number of words: 650
