How long have you been on DFS?/When have you started playing on DFS?
Very first time I've joined the servers was around 2012-2013, but I've been around the community ever since November 2018.
Which region are you from?
USA - Central Time (CST)
Which position are you applying for?
Server Moderator
Your DFS level
54 as of current. (80 as of 5/1/2019)
Why do you want to become a staff member?
In such a short amount of time, I have grown attached to this community and on how positive everyone is, I've grown to make genuine friends here that I'd always love to come back to to have fun with. On top of that, I really want to help keep the servers safe and enjoyable for everyone, so I'd like to contribute everything that I can to continue keeping this place fresh and healthy whenever possible in some shape or form.
Are you currently a staff member elsewhere?
Nope.
Past experiences as a staff member
I was a Super Moderator for Red Sun Over Paradise for at least a year. (2016)
How active are you on DFS? If you're accepted, how active can you be on DFS?
I've been playing off-and-on in DFS (like at least once every two weeks) ever since November 2018, but have been playing almost daily (every 1-3 days) ever since late-January 2019. I'm pretty active in the Discord server too in Voice Chats and some of the text channels. If accepted, I'd be just as active as I am today.
Have you ever been banned from DFS before? If so, why?
From my knowledge, I have not been banned, although I have been warned once on talking over micspam.
Include any additional personal information about yourself that could help your application thread
I'm Bloodcam, I'm currently in a technical school for Web Development & Graphic Design. I'm a generally nice guy, sometimes too nice. I'm somewhat lenient on things but can put my foot down for whenever I need to. Depending on the situation, I get nervous very easily, as to which I am still trying to overcome.
Include a link to your Steam profile
steamcommunity.com/id/CCBarrow/
Some things I'd like to add (hopefully this is okay!)
I recognize that this is a very early time to be applying here, I haven't even been here for a whole year yet, nor is my level even that high.
If this is denied because of activity and how long I've been here for, that is 100% understandable. I will work more on being active as much as I can and will apply at a later time. I have a couple of flaws about myself (like the things I mentioned above) in which I will absolutely work on improving as of right now.
Thank you so much for reading this, and I'll try my best to address any sort of concerns, issues, or any questions in this thread.

Your level, for now, is still a tad bit low but you have shown to have frequent activity in our servers. This application shows an honest, sweet interest in DFS which a lot of applications are lacking these days. I love your reasoning for coming in as a moderator and you have plenty of experience with moderation tools, so you show a very promising image. Keep that cheese up and I could see you in fairly soon!

Thanks a lot for this response, it's relieved a ton of stress off my chest.
As for the level thing, if it's too much of a problem, I'll be working on increasing it to a point that's not as low. I am still working on it as much as I can.

Your format and reasoning fits the criteria with enthusiasm which I have not seen in a while, and that itself gives off a great vibe about you. You also have past experience as a moderator which means you know the tools already from the get-go and that's great!

The only problem from what I see right now is that level as of current time of making. It's barely at the levels of "okay" and "not okay" to apply, but you did mention you'll try your best to get out of the 50s to make it seem more fitting, so that's okay.

All and all, I see you as a worthy candidate for a moderator, so have a yes as a vote, and good luck!

This is a very good application, all things considered. Your level isn't that high, but I have been seeing you around quite a bit, which helps to address any possible concerns about activity. I'm glad that you recognise this, too.

Your previous experience in a similar role in a similar environment is very useful, and your reasoning for wanting to join the staff is great. It's really nice to see appreciation for the importance of the role and of DFS itself.

I would like to see a good level of activity remain consistent for some more time. Being on the servers on such a frequent basis is really good, but since it's only been for such a short time, I'll reserve a more concrete judgement on your activity for later down the line, once I've had time to see if it keeps up.

If that were all, I'd be on the fence, but I can see clear passion and enthusiasm for DFS in your application. Addressing potential weaknesses to your ability to fulfill the role of Server Moderator gives a really strong impression, and the last two sections show an impressive amount of professionalism and maturity that makes me think you would be well-suited to the role. As mentioned before, I'd like to see your level of activity remain consistent going forward, but as long as it does, I believe you would be a good candidate for the role. Best of luck!

Thanks a whole lot for the response, Limey!
Yes, I am going to be working on keeping activity as consistent as I can. Given that it's been such a short amount of time since I've started being fairly active, I can get reserving your judgement.
The only times that I am not active on DFS are when I am either spending time with friends, or working on some important stuff on my side of my life. If none of those things are going on, I'm usually on DFS. I'd do my best to try and balance both of these somehow as both sides are important to me. If I'm going to be honest, as of right now, the side of being with friends and irl stuff are the most important to me, which could explain me not being on for some days.

Thanks for your response aswell, Blank!
Just an update on my level, it is now nearly breaking the 60's, should be done by tomorrow. It's still a somewhat low level, in which I am still going to work on increasing it after hitting that point. Thanks again!

Blood, my boy! Good to see ya here.

Very neat application, although your level is a tad low for our liking, but I do appreciate your honesty and trying to raise it up, so that's a good thing. Your reasoning is absolutely amazing, and I'm really glad that you have found enjoyment here. Previous Moderator experience is always good as well, even if it was for another TF2 server. I have seen you a lot here, and I don't doubt that you can keep this up. No bans proves that you're a respected person who can follow the rules, although you have been warned once.

I'm also amazed at how respected you've been despite being here for a couple of months. You are extremely behaved and highly likeable with your positive attitude all the time, even if you do get nervous. That's fine though, since most of us are from time to time.

With that being said, I would love to see you on our team, and I wish you good luck!

From what I can see you're quite active in the servers and someone I see often. I've seen you increased your level to 80+ which further shows your commitment.

I've never had a problem with you and the prior experience will help for sure if you do get accepted. Being able to recognize flaws and improve upon them is a great thing in my book.

Overall you seem like such a great guy and someone that is easy to talk to and fun to be around. You also always seem to be well informed in any topic which allows you to join into any conversation.

A definite yes from me because of the things stated above.

Thanks for applying!

Your activity on the servers is looking good since you posted this application. Your reason for wanting to join seems very good and your previous experience in a moderation role is really helpful.
In addition, your attitude and behaviour in the initial application and throughout the thread shows a lot of passion for DFS, professionalism and maturity which makes a great impression and is fantastic behaviour for a moderator.

After discussion with the staff team, we think you'll be a great fit for the job!

Congrats, and welcome to the team!
