Hope the bold text helps you that it's a question!

How long have you been on DFS?/When have you started playing on DFS?
I started playing on DFS when I saw some "Meet the Random Fortress" videos, which made me wonder if I should join or not. So I did join and I liked it, then I loved it. I played TF2 for a thousand hours (oof)
(EDIT 1: Actually, if you are thinking about the year, it's 2016ish.)

Which region are you from?
Continent: Europe
Country: Sweden
County: Södermanland (Home of Stockholm)

Which position are you applying for? (Server Moderator, Developer, Discord Moderator)
I would like to be a Server Moderator.

Your DFS level
55-ish (Oh no)

Why do you want to become a staff member?
I would like to do some assistance on people and tell that the bad things are still the bad things. But what would happen then? What if there is no admin, but only 1 remaining, and that admin actually abuses its own powers and makes fun of people illegally? I join, and I stop that admin, but he is an admin, so I call the other admin and that admin will ban the abusing admin if it has more power then that admin. So, I can call other admins, but members can do that too, so let's forget about that. Instead, what if there is no admin/mod and a member is doing illegal stuff? I warn him/her. And if it breaks the rules 3 times, I kick. If it comes back again and does the same thing, I ban for 60 minutes. And if it comes back again for 1 hour, I ban it for 1 day. And it keeps going on a cycle. 1 hour -> 1 day -> 1 week -> 1 month -> Permanent

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere?
Nope.avi

Past experiences as a staff member
Yes. But if on a source game, no.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Which staff?}Actually, this might cringe you, but I was in a Roblox airline group that turned from unpopular to popular. I was staff from the beginning of this group too. I was a flight attendant, I have admin powers. That's why I had past experiences as a staff member.

How active are you on DFS? If you're accepted, how active can you be on DFS?
I have been active on TF2 a lot in few weeks or something, BUT I still play TF2 a lot, and I mostly play MVM Machine Attacks, so, I might stop playing MVM and start playing DFS more.

Have you ever been banned from DFS before? If so, why?
I have never been banned in DFS.

Include any additional personal information about yourself that could help your application thread
Some of the things I said at the previous application were just useless, but there is 1 more thing that I missed, and it's how fluent my English is. If I wasn't that fluent and I suck at English, I would have been instantly denied and it's important to have a good and fluent English, with perfect grammar and spelling. Also, I only join the UK server because I am European.

Include a link to your Steam profile
steamcommunity.com/id/swedishfloof/
Extra Questions!

What is your hobby?
Building stuff (Like polymorph), Making Music (With FL Studio 12), Making YTPs (Only Audio).

Do you think that you are necessary for DFS?
Yes. The reason is that DFS could be on chaos and admins are less active, probably. Meanwhile, I am active and keep the server clean and fresh.

Level 55 seems a bit of a shortcoming. It seems you are familiar with the DFS experience and try to apply for good use, and yet I can't help but say that you should play around a little longer before ultimately deciding that you want to take a staff member spot.
Your reasoning is a most utter cluster of a thrown together sentence that I can't understand a single word out of you are trying to say, apologies. Your word structure is really poor overall, I suggest editing it for easier reading.
Past experience on a ROBLOX server has nothing to do with the Source engine, although knowing how to act may help.
Your activeness at the moment is poor. I barely see you online, and saying you "might" play on DFS more is a big alarm sign. Your duty is to moderate DFS, not "might" moderate every now and then!

Currently more on the no side.

Format is on par, but reasoning on becoming staff is quite underwhelming as everybody already knows an abusive moderator/admin will be punished and every staff member already knows it's warn, kick, ban, rinse and repeat. Except 1 month and then to permanent is a big jump and should not be performed unless the person has been deep into the gutter.
Level 55 is also quite low-medium for someone who HASN'T explained when they first joined. your activity also seems quite non-existent, so if you want to prove you want to be a moderator, amp up your activity. And uhh, you MUST play on DFS almost regularely and not just come back to DFS if you do become a moderator. You have to show dedication and rationality to even become a moderator. And you also should join not only UK but also other servers that has people in them, not just stick to one server.
And for the love of God, please don't include notes saying you won't be angry or peeved at our opinion, you're not to meant to even respond to our opinions.
One final note: You sound quite a lot like you're a messiah for DFS in the "Necessary" part which leaves me a bad impression for it.

I'll have to vote no on this, there's just too many flaws to even give a positive note about.

Since 2016 would be a very suitable amount of time on DFS for the role, but the fact that you've only reached Level 55 in that time tells me that you aren't active enough for this role. In addition, I barely see you on the servers myself, which only further calls your activity into question. You yourself admit that you aren't very active on DFS and promising to be more active doesn't cut it. Especially not something as unconvincing as saying you might be more active. We want to bring in people who are already reliable and consistently active, rather than people we have to hope will fulfill their promises and actually join the servers and do their job.

Your "reason" for wanting to join the staff doesn't explain why you're applying at all. It's good that you've put thought into how you would enforce the rules, slightly inaccurate as that model of escalation may be, but all you've done is describe an unrealistic "what-if" scenario about what you would do in the extremely unlikely event that a staff member abuses their power. This tells us absolutely nothing about why you want to be a Server Moderator and is irrelevant to the usual responsibilities of one. All the reasoning that you've given besides can be summed up in the phrase "I want to help enforce the rules", but without any further elaboration or clear appreciation of the responsibilities of a Server Moderator, this is extremely lackluster reasoning for wanting to become a staff member.

If you do have past moderation experience that's relevant, it would be wise to explain it so that we can assess if it would be useful in this role. Just saying "yes" without any detail doesn't help us decide if you should be brought into the team.

In the unnecessary "Extra Questions" section, I'm really struggling to pin down exactly what you mean by "DFS could be on chaos and admins are less active, probably.". I'm reading this as a suggestion that the current staff aren't active enough, which I am confident is not the case. New staff may be beneficial but certainly aren't "necessary" as the current staff generally are doing their jobs fine, and suggesting that you would be more active than existing staff directly contradicts the first part of my post.

I vote no on this application. It needs serious work and you need to spend a lot more time on DFS to establish yourself as an active member.

Your level is extremely low and that alone already lowers your chances, I barely see you on the servers either and even you admit you're inactive, which lowers your chances even more.

Your application is a bit of a mess with some unnecessary information (Extra Questions), some unnecessarily long information (Reason could be summed up especially when it doesn't actually describe a reason beyond your first sentence), and some detailed information that just isn't there (Past experiences).

Whether or not it was intentional, the wording of "being necessary for DFS" rubs me the wrong way. Then again, the whole "Extra Questions" section is very unnecessary.

I'm gonna have to say no on this application.

We think that you're too inactive to become a staff, not to mention you also seem to have an egoistic attitude from what we've seen which we do not welcome here.

Your reasoning to join the staff team seem to be poorly explained.

I'll be marking your application as declined.
