Why do you want to become staff?
I would love to become a staff member on Manacube because I am fond of both Minecraft and giving a positive, nice community. I have been an active member of the server for a while and have liked helping in the server's growth through my communication with others, when that's helping new members, answering questions, or creating a friendly place. I am hopeful in the server's success, and I want to make sure everyone has a good experience. I feel I have the patience and communication skills to help others and in a friendly way enforce the rules on the server. I'm also excited to help with any tasks, such as chat moderation, supporting events, or troubleshooting issues. In short, becoming a staff member would give me the opportunity to give back to the community that has been such a great part of my Minecraft experience. I’m happy to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to make Manacube even better for everyone.

How long have you played on ManaCube?
Since 2022!

How many hours a week can you dedicate to Manacube? Weekdays mostly from 4pm-12am. Weekends mostly from 1pm-1am, whenever time comes avaliable.

What skills do you feel you have that will help the server?
I believe I have several skills that would be valuable to the Manacube server. Firstly , I have strong communication skills, which let me to interact best with players of all ages and backgrounds. Even if it's answering questions, helping resolve problems, or explaining rules, I am able to show and or teach information clearly and politely.

What experiences have you had which could help you as staff? I used to help moderate a small server on Minecraft, ran my own, (averaging 5-10 players a day) not alot, but it gave me insight on how to moderate a server.

What three attributes distinguish yourself from other players that qualify you to be a helper?
1st ability would be: Reliability. I conduct myself on being a reliable and consistent person. Whether it’s answering player questions, helping with problems, enforcing the server’s rules, or simply watching chat to make sure of a safe and positive environment, I am always ready to step forward and do my part. I know the importance of being dependable in a staff role, as players need staff members to be there and attentive. Being a reliable staff member means that I can be counted on to help whenever needed, and I take this responsibility seriously. Whether it’s being active during peak times or joining into action when an problems come up, I am always willing to contribute to the server's success and overall server.
2nd skill is: Strong Communication Skills. I have excellent communication abilities that help me communicate greatly with players from all backgrounds and experience. Whether I’m answering questions, resolving problems, or mediating conflicts, I make sure that my communication is clear, and calm. I am able to change my communication style to best help the needs of the person I’m interacting with. This might mean explaining something in simpler terms for a new player or being firm but respectful when addressing a rule violation. I believe that good communication is important to creating a happy experience for everyone on the server, and I try to make sure that players feel heard, understood, and supported, no matter the situation.
3rd skill is: Problem Solving. I have a strong ability to assess situations quickly and come up with logical, fair solutions. Whether it’s a gameplay-related issue, or a problem between players, I remain calm and composed under pressure, allowing me to handle difficult situations without becoming overwhelmed. I always keep number one on my list of fairness when fixing issues, ensuring that all parties are treated respectfully and that the resolution is balanced and reasonable. I also recognize the importance of efficiency, while fairness is critical, being able to resolve problems quickly and effectively helps maintain the easy running of the server and ensures that players continue to have a good experience. My problem-solving skills allow me to manage a wide range of situations, from minor misunderstandings to more difficult conflicts, all while maintaining a respectful and welcoming approach for everyone involved.

Please explain what you believe the role of a staff member is.
Creating and Maintaining a Positive Environment: A staff member’s first responsibility is to ensure that all players have a fun, safe, and respectful experience.
Enforcing Rules Fairly and Consistently: Staff are held to a standard of upholding the server’s rules, making sure that players understand and follow them.
Assisting Players and Addressing Issues: A staff member should be there to help players with any questions they may have or issues they may encounter on the server.
Supporting the Server's Growth and Community: Staff should actively help the server’s success by helping with events, and supporting new features or updates

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to give you a -1.
Your application isn't bad by any means, and you do meet the length requirements, playtime requirement, and forum posts requirement which is good!
However, these last few days of watching you in game, it seems that you're not adequately familiar with the Manacube rules, which is important expectation and requirement to be Manacube staff.
For example:
Yesterday you used a bug to get out of Burninglands and avoid losing your un-holied SVA. Fortunately, the bug has since been patched but your unfamiliarity with what is considered a bug and bug abuse is a little concerning for someone who is a candidate for the staff team.

A second example would be another thing you said yesterday:

Whether or not you realized it, this was you openly advertising something called "Irl deals" which may constitute a perm-ban. Myself and others had to inform you that it is not allowed, which again demonstrates that there is still a great deal for you to learn before you are ready to help staff Manacube Survival.

Lastly:
This final screenshot documents questionable chat patterns from you. I understand that it is a joke, but staff are expected to be pillars of the community and therefore should be appropriate in chat.


It is admirable that you are so enthusiastic about joining the Manacube staff team, and assisting others. I suggest that you take some more time to familiarize yourself with the rules further, and when you are ready, apply again. And remember: You do not have to be staff to help other players. I try my best to answer questions for other players, and assist in compiling screenshots for reports to make the job easier for staff, and you are more than capable of doing the same. :)

I hope this explanation helps contextualize why I do not think you are ready at the time.

Regardless, I wish you luck, and have a great day!

for the reasons mentioned above, aswell as
You have been permbanned twice. The application requirements state that you are not allowed to become staff if have gotten permbanned before, hence you do and never will meet the staff requirements.
