Introduction:


Hello!

Let me start off by introducing myself and enlightening you with a few facts about me! My username in-game is LexKristen, but most call me by Lex or Alexandra. This year I am a freshman in high school. I have been playing on this server since September of last year, September 29th 2012 to be exact. This is the second time I have been staff, the first time was in early to mid 2013 when I resigned due to MN.


In my free time, I love to listen and play music. Music truly is one of my passions in life. I wish to pursue something that has to do with it later, or just keep it an avocation for the rest of my life. Also, I would like to consider myself a pretty dedicated student. I get relatively good grades (except for in AP Human Geography, which is no less than a disaster for me).


Why do I think I should be Moderator?:


First, I would like to address my experience with this server. I have been playing for over a year, so naturally I know a lot about it. Despite my experience, I was really caught off guard when I first became helper a few weeks ago. I found everything to be so much more organized and extremely different from when I was staff. I was not expecting it, but I feel as if I adapted very quickly. When I was staff before, we used a different plugin for moderation than we use now as well. At first, I was immensely confused to say the least. After a few days I did learn the commands and general idea of the plugin rapidly. I now feel especially comfortable with all the new staff policies, expectations and commands. I also have no problem with asking questions, and I have asked quite a lot to clear things up.

Another thing I would like to address is my activity. I would consider myself pretty active on all platforms, including the forums, in-game, Skype, and TS. Sometimes school does limit my time online, because of homework and studying. On these days I do try my best to get online as much as possible.

Maturity is also something I consider myself to posses. Of course I know when to have fun and make jokes, too! However, there is a thin line between the right time and the wrong time. I definitely know when it is acceptable and when it is not.

Now I am going to talk about my work ethic. I do not do modreqs just for the number. I believe in quality over quantity. You want the player to have a good experience when they file a /modreq, so that they are comfortable with the staff and don’t have a problem filing another one when they need help. I always make sure the player is satisfied, and I always ask if they have any further questions. Let me reiterate the fact that quality over quantity is extremely important in my eyes. I always focus my full attention at the issue at hand, and make sure that it is 100% completed before I focus on anything else. I do not stop something to work on another thing, so I would consider myself a pretty dedicated person.

Next, I will talk about my involvement in the community. I always say hello when I login to Meep! I am usually on TeamSpeak while I am in-game, and at the same time I am browsing the forums. It is important to me that a staff member should be well balanced as far as communication goes, which is exactly what I strive for!

Weaknesses:

Let’s talk about the weakness I stated in my Helper application; hasty decision making. This was a problem when I used creative to my own advantage after I resigned from SuperMod. I still had creative, so I made a regretful decision to obtain items illegitimately, and instead spawn them in. Naturally, I had lost a considerable amount of trust due to this. I have been working really hard to gain that trust back, because I truly made a horrible mistake. I am really thankful that I was given a second chance at staff. I believe that before I had applied for Helper and during my time of being Helper, I worked on this weakness a lot. I have learned so much from my mistakes, so this is a minuscule problem for me at the moment. I make it a point to think about things before I speak or do something. I really feel like it is something I have improved upon immensely, and I am glad for that.

A weakness that I have noticed about myself lately is that I feel like sometimes I can come across as rude. I unintentionally ignore people sometimes, just because I am busy with other things. On the other hand, I feel like sometimes I can come across as overbearing because I am usually in a really good mood and full of energy. I definitely will do my best to work on these weaknesses!


Conclusion:

In conclusion, I feel completely ready for the position of Moderator. I am 100% comfortable with the commands, and new policies that I have had to learn. Thank you so much for reading my application. I look forward to hear your constructive feedback in the replies!

And to the people that heard "stories" about her in the Old Meep.... they are untrue for the most part. The whole "duping" items and dropping them was a false ban. You see, when Cruelty ruined the server and demoted pretty much all the staff he forgot one important thing.... taking my brother's account off of creative. In secret we got Fuzzlr's head, kept placing it in water and dropped stacks of them in spawn. We also spawned in billions worth of diamond blocks, spawned in stacks of dragon eggs etc...
