Sticky: Duncsweb Minecraft Server Staff Application Thread

Due to the irregularity of presence of our current staff, and the amount of players we constantly have on the Server, it's time for a rethink.

I am looking for staff members who will be dedicated to the server, whether there be 5, 50, or 250 players on.

We are NOT looking for people who want to be staff just to be above everybody else. Although this is a game, being staff here is work, hard work. This is VERY different from being a normal player, please think hard before you want to apply for this position.

NOTE: If you applied on the old forums, you will not need to apply again. Your application will be moved from the old forums into our files.

General Requirements
  • You must have been on the server for at least 60 days. This allows you to observe how the server is run and to get a feel for what the rest of the staff are like.
  • You must have a clean disciplinary record, no kicks/bans within the 60 day timeframe or 90 days if you have been with the server longer than that.
  • You must be at least veteran rank before applying.
  • Effective communication skills: You need to be able to communicate effectively to other players and staff, whether it be in written word on IRC, game chat, Skype or spoken word on TeamSpeak.

As a Junior Moderator you will be:
  • Under Pressure - Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed with demand
  • Muting and Kicking people based on the rules as needed.
  • Communicating with Moderators and Admins when further disciplinary action is needed for a user.
  • Keeping morale/mood high in the server.
  • Working closely alongside other staff members

As a Moderator you will be:
  • Dealing with Modreqs (Support Tickets)
  • Under Pressure - Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed with demand
  • Checking on Players for exploits
  • Kicking and Banning people based on the rules as needed.
  • Keeping morale/mood high in the server.
  • Building in our Spawn area.
  • Working closely alongside other staff members

You must have:
  • A working knowledge of the plugin Towny (we can train you as you go)
  • A fair an unbiased view towards players. Sponsors must be treated the same as regular players
  • A mature attitude
  • A good reputation on the Server, we do not need drama before we've started.
  • Patience. You will be tested by players, you must not rage at them!
  • The time to put into the game to help staff and players. You MUST be flexible.
  • Skype, an IRC Client, and the TeamSpeak client to keep up with conversations on the game and with staff
  • Been on the Server previously, and not had any trouble with us.

Your rewards:
  • Creative Mode: Access to anything and everything you can get on Minecraft
  • Mods and Freedom: Use any mod client you wish, fly around and do whatever you wish (as long as it doesnt affect players, mobdisguise is an exception)
  • Mod status in the Minecraft area of this Forum
  • Respect: Staff and Players will regard you highly
  • Dependency: As soon as you join the game and say hi, expect everyone to say hi back, they need you!
  • Accomplishment: You'll be making a mark in DuncsWeb history, the Server will be around for a long time, and you'll be a major part of it.

Interested?

Copy and paste the application form below and fill it out completely. Any incomplete information can disqualify you from being selected:
Quote:
IGN: Your Minecraft username exactly as it appears here
How long have you been with the server? Keep the amount of time reasonable. If it's a couple of months, please indicate so. Don't break it down into the amount of hours, days, minutes, etc.
How long have you been a veteran member? Yes, you are required to be at least a veteran member (if not veteran, state your rank)
Plugin Knowledge: Be as detailed as possible without going overboard.[/i]
Why do you feel you should be staff? It's not a good idea to write what you think we want to hear. Rather, do something that is beyond what other people are writing. This will require some thinking on your part.

Once the application is filled out and typed nice and neatly, it should look exactly like the following:
Quote:
IGN: Scratchy
How long have you been with the server? Two months exactly.
How long have you been a veteran member? I have been a veteran member for about one month (if not veteran, state your rank)
Plugin Knowledge: My plugin knowledge consists of the following:
  • Towny: Versatile knowledge of the players functions as well as Townyadmin functions
  • Modreq: Ability to handle support tickets as they are filed as well as some of the admin functions related to modreq.
  • Pokemobs: Can configure Pokemobs as well as executing administrative functions.

Why do you feel you should be staff? I'm not really going to explain why I want to be staff, but rather, I want to explain why you should have me as staff. First, I'm courteous and friendly, which is ideal in a server as large as Duncsweb. Second, to coincide with the large server size, I also handle stress well, which is ideal when it comes to numerous modreqs that have been filed after the dead of night. Third and last, my maturity, in my honest opinion, is better than most, which I believe will give me an edge.

Your application doesn't need to look fancy. Adding colors and other formatting will not place your application above others. Keep it as simple as the example provided.

I am not going to discriminate on age of staff as we've seen a lot of younger players with a much better attitude than older ones.

If you’re chosen, you'll be put on trial as a Junior Moderator. If you do anything within this time to detriment the server (that you have done on purpose, mistakes happen) in any way, your Junior Moderator status will be removed and you will be banned. If I feel you handle the responsibilities of being a Junior Moderator, your will be moved to a Moderator position. Further advancement to Admin may also be possible after this.



Please read this whole post carefully before you post below. If you haven't taken the time to read and process it all, you won't do well at all as staff on this Server.

****This post is ongoing****, by posting here you are expressing interest and may not be chosen. Staff may be chosen at any time, DO NOT bug me or any other staff member. Asking why you have not been chosen or making references to your application will then drop your chances to 0 and your application removed from view.

If we do not respond to you directly it means either you do not meet the requirements or we do not need you at this time.

How Long Have You Been with the server? around 4 or 5 months
How Long Have you been a trusted member? for about 4 months
Plugin Knowledge: My Plugin Knowledge Consists of the following:
World Edit: Able to handle building and changing the landscape to help build up a server.
ModReq: able to understand support requests and help respond correctly and fairly.

Why Do you feel you should be a staff? I believe that do to the recent attack on our creative server we need to keep up a constant survey of both our survival and creative server. Im a kind person who treats all situations fairly even if the person whom i may be dealing with may be guilty.
I have had recent experience as a mod on a minecraft server that was growing. I am not a moderator o that server anymore as they closed it down.
I am a sponsor so that can give the idea that i am committed to the Duncsweb server and would be willing to put in as much effort and time into the server.
i am 18 and mature enough to handle such a task on a large successful server.

How long have you been with the server? Since halfway through 1.0, about 9-10 months
How long have you been a trusted member? I was a trusted member since halway through 2.0
Plugin Knowledge: My plugin knowledge consists of the following:
  • Towny: I know all the commands(as a mayor) and know the administrator commands.
  • Modreq - I know how to see and complete the modreq's
    I also know most(maybe all) of the servers commands, so I wont need much teaching.

Why do you feel you should be staff?: I have been trusted for so long, and have sonsored to the server as well. To work alongside duncan would be an honour. I have had no previous bans, and am a well behaved player. I understand that I am responsible for monitoring the players if I am the only staff on, and I understand that staff is hard work. I have no rivalries, and I don't show favouritism. I am mature, and have a good understanding of how to deal with certain situations.

If there is an opportunity, I will take it, no matter what it causes.

How long have you been with the server? i think i joined half way through march
Plugin Knowledge: Well i have a fair bit of knowledge on various plugins, i know a fair bit about towny, (setting up towns, most of the usefull commands, making plots etc...) i know about making shops, lifts etc, and am all ways willing to learn about new plugins or how to use the current ones.
Why do you feel you should be staff? Well i have been here a long time, know most of the regulars even though i had a brake from MC for a while due to various reasons, and i missed the community greatly. I like helping out new players aswell as the regulars and will be on hand to do my share of mod req's i will also help monitor the forums a lot and keep people in line ;). I love this community and want to help it out some more by becoming a moderator. I have NEVER been banned at all i will admit i ave been auto kicked for rule 9 when it first came into action i have been trusted, donator and now sponsor so i am not someone who will just randomly leave the server when i get bored :p.

Well thats all good luck all ;)
