Your in-game name: GodFlash124, though my nickname since I joined has been TheSalarian

How old you are: 20

Your Gender: Male

Have you been banned on any other servers? Just the first one I ever played on years ago. I got banned for griefing, didn't know what that was, looked it up, and haven't griefed since.

Why do you think you should be a moderator?
Previous Experience: I staffed another server about a year ago (I've since lost the IP). The server only allowed players who were 16+, though exceptions were made for those who were nearly 16 or for those who seemed mature enough to stay.

I'd like to use some of the experience I gained there to help mediate some of the drama/toxicity that seems to have been peaking on the server lately.

Time Zone: I mentioned this a bit in the below question on my availability but I live in the Central Standard Time zone (GMT -6)and have noticed that there are gaps of up to several hours most days where there are no staff online. I'd like to be able to step in during these times and help keep things in check when necessary.

Understaffed Server: It seems like the server has been getting a lot of new players lately and it doesn't seem like the current staff is quite able to keep up. I have nothing against any of the current staff members what so ever and I believe many of them are doing a great job. It's just a matter of being able to cope with the number of issues that arise and being able to keep up with all that's going on with chat. I feel like right now, there's too much going on. (EDIT: Especially with the possibility of Eddie leaving when he starts university and with Armz stepping down, it's important to stock up on staff members before things get out of hand).

How long can you be active on the server every day? I'm able to be active for several hours a day, though I typically work 4-8 hour shifts most weekdays. More importantly, I'm in Central Standard Time and I've noticed there are many days where there's a good number of players on, 15+ or so, with no staff on to help keep things in check.

What country do you live in? USA

How long have you been on the server? I've been on the server since a little less than a week before my first donation; a month and half ago, maybe two.

Just wanted to throw in an example of the outnumbered staff issue I brought up; here's a fairly average case from what I've seen with multiple players spamming caps (names blocked because I'm not here to report any one, I just want to point out the issue). As of my taking of this picture, Penq is the only one online with 28 players on and I'm pretty sure she's AFK.

+1 He has truly proven me that he is responsible for being a Staff by asking people politely to stop spamming caps. (not giving names) Although they didn't stop until I threatened them to be reported, It was a good effort ;) He warned them like 4-5 times politely.
