EU Shoutbot's 3rd Helper Applicaton

ShoutBot's Helper Application

My helper application has never been officially denied, it has only timed out into the archived section without official response. I am re-applying with the same application as it is sufficient and nothing has changed since.

Context:
Not sure why last one was denied, but lots of change of staffing so i'll apply again
This is a revised version of my previous application:
edit: This has been update again (July 17)


Your in-game name:
My in-game name is ShoutBot.

What timezone are you in?
I am in BST/GMT London Timezone.

What country do you live in?
I live in England.

What languages do you speak?
I speak English.

Do you have 2FA enabled?
Yes.

Do you have the necessary means of capturing evidence? (i.e. recording software, screenshots, etc)
I can use Gyazo for instant screenshots and I can also upload images quickly to Imgur. I also have Fraps for recording video if necessary. Mostly however, I take screenshots in-game and upload them to a site such as imgur.


Why do you think you should become a helper?
Knowledge:

I first created my Minecraft account back in August 2012 and my knowledge of the game has
only continued to expand so much since.
I would say that I know all of the ins and outs of the game after doing some private dev
work for myself and others, playing on MineTime and just continued playing of Minecraft since
I first got the game.

I would also say that I know the MineTime community very well and know the general opinions
of players from different servers. I would say that although MineTime's player-base is very
diverse, the community seems like something I have properly engaged with and come to terms with.

I also have various different background knowledge of other parts of the wider Minecraft community.
I have been modding the game for quite some time know, coding my own modules and additions to make
the game a much more enjoyable experience.

tl;dr:
The main reason I would say that I fit the post for being a Helper is because of my extensive game
and community knowledge, predicting what people may do before they do it is a tricky thing to do but
I think that I have a particular "knack" for that ability, after being an involved part of the community.


Maturity:

Although some may disagree, I would say that I am very passionate about my involvement in the community.
I feel that I would be a great player to join the team because I am 15 years old and past the age of "silly".
The community deserves more than someone who doesn't take the job seriously, It actually needs someone who
is approachable and passionate about the right outcome for each and every player!


Toleration:

I absolutely detest players who blatantly disrespect the rules. The rules are there to be enforced and it seems
that at the moment there just isn't the capability to do that. I really don't like players who purposely are offensive towards staff,
avoid warnings and abuse the fact that no staff are online, I find it disrespectful. The server has come back and
they are repaying the duty of the staff members by being rude and arrogant.
Basically, I'm not saying that I'm a strict person, I just hate rule breakers.

Staff Relations:

I'm not sure this can really count as a category but I would say I have a good and running relationship with many staff members who know me from earlier MT days or from brief conversations in chat. I find all the current staff members very kind and good at what they do and I wish them all well as I hope they would do me too.
Watching over the changing of owners has also shown me that the current head-staff team have outdone the old ones in a totally new fashion and I hope to be able to contribute to that change some day also.


How long can you be active on the server every day?
Throughout the school week I can be active anywhere from 4pm to 11pm.
So here's a rough schedule table that outlines the times I may be on:
Mon - 3:30-4:40PM // 6-10PM
Tue-Fri - Anywhere between 3:30PM to 10PM
Sat/Sun - Whenever I'm available, Usually 10AM - 11PM-2AM

*edit* I'm off school for 8 weeks so, any time, any day...



How long have you been playing MineTime?
I am not sure of the exact date I originally joined MineTime. Sometime at the end of 2013 I started to binge play MT, It was not until the start of 2014 that I got actively playing and involved in the community. (My old IGN was mrjosephiscrazy)

so, 4 years, playing multiple MT servers and being part of the community.

Have you ever been banned in the past? (Forums & in-game)
I have never been banned for any formal, only once for an apparent "self-harm threat" which I was unaware at the time was against the rules, even within a joking context. The ban was shortly lifted as I had explained well how the context of the chat post mattered and the staff at the time understood this.
You can see my history here: Minetime Bans (ShoutBot)

Do you have any past experience as a moderator / helper?
http://i.imgur.com/k2Tr48n.png
Yes, I was a helper on a server called GenixCraft which unfortunately has now shut down. The community there was relatively small compared to MineTime so we managed to cope with a small set of selected staff members. The only system that helpers had access to on there was the mute system so I'm quite curious how MineTime's warning system works.


To summarize, if there's anything I've learnt from my MineTime experience is learning itself. I wish to continue to support the community in any way possible!

 

Cheers guys! was mainly to keep it outta the archived section
