Introduction:
For those who don't know me, my name is Kazarkas and I have been playing on this server for over two years. I have been with this server through its ups and downs and it has grown on me because of one thing, that being the community. Now I will get into a more personal introduction.
My real name outside of Minecraft is Dan (insert a long last name here). I am twenty years old and I like to lift weights, row occasionally, hang out with friends, and play video games when I get the chance. I am attending pharmacy school in West Palm Beach, Florida, this coming Fall (you can do your research and you will find out what school I go to). As for my personality, I am sarcastic, and pretty laid back. I wouldn't say I get stressed out at anything besides League of Legends but I don't play that game anymore. Now let's get to the rest of the application.
Why you should be Helper?
I will admit that the permissions associated with the Helper rank do not match my skill set and without further ado.....
In my opinion just playing Meepcraft has become a little stale, I seek more from the server. I have been a staff member numerous times in the past and have been "Reverend" for all of those who remember it. It wasn't an official rank but I still did some basic things like bans, modreqs, etc.. In short, I miss being on the inside and it gave me something to do on the server.
My prior ranks as staff were Moderator and PRR, I never went for SuperMod (I was SuperMod for a short time because I was changed to that rank by Coolkid on a whim) because I didn't crave creative mode as I was OP'd anyway for certain duties. As moderator I was proud of my xray hunting abilities, effectively keeping xrayers out of the wild while I was online. In addition to xray hunting I was extremely good at finding item dupers, and I plan on expanding my expertise to PvP hackers as that is currently a huge problem at this time.
Now onto my time as PRR (the highest rank at the current era), as PRR I had the responsibility of managing forums with admin control panned, this included forum bans, etc.. I also was the only person that managed donations for a little over a week while Meepcraft's donation system was down for some odd reason. I do remember changing the ranks of Sjoe and AndrewDemonX in the past for some reason so they can validate this information if anyone questions it. I was an admin in a nutshell.
Forum activity: My forum activity is great. I always check the forums and it pains me not to post on some ban appeals and reports. I am quick to reply to people that have problems and I record evidence of all bans and kicks (I still have evidence on some bans in 2013 on my 1TB removable HDD).
I understand we are in a different era, that being one where we give more second chances and we need more players. As a result, I will fight my compulsive banning when it comes to xray and duping (if I find any) and set them to temp bans as they should.
Weaknesses:
In the past I overlooked some of my friends cheating because they were staff. I admit this is a huge weakness and it was unacceptable. It was just very hard for me to do anything because I have known this person for two years and I couldn't let the information go public. I just asked him to stop but he wouldn't (he got demoted though).
I will also say that I am extremely sarcastic in ban appeals, especially if people seem to be rude, or act incompetent intentionally (effectively "playing dumb"). If the person writes a respectable appeal I will respond with the same respect.
Conclusion:
If you want a staff member with a lot of prior experience and some new ideas, I am your guy. I plan on giving upper staff some suggestion on things that will make the server better, and perhaps even talk to Onis personally.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
