FiregearsX’s moderator application.

(In-game name): FiregearsX
I’m a constant participant of idle and I’ve enjoyed playing on its servers for over 2 years. I understand all the rules of the server and how to behave as a moderator. I think I would be a good choice as moderator because I am very active on its servers. Plus it I can be there when the other staff isn’t online and I have to continuously ask them to join when someone is breaking the rules and attempting to get away with it.

I understand that many people believe I don’t know the rules of the server and may even be seen as a bad person, who just argues with staff or trying to make the game unenjoyable, but if that is the case, then I hope in the next few months you all can see that I could be worthy of being a moderator

 

Lots of recent bans that are quite frequent. Mistakes happen and I understand that. But that's quite alot of mistakes, free kills, dr denials, and team kills can be something you accidentally do. Also I noticed a mass free kill ban. I would like to know the context of that. I think I need to watch you more closely to fully make a confident decision.
Good luck.

 

Boi no I don’t get banned every day

 

You were banned these last 3 days consecutively though. Plus you were banned today.

 

That mass freekill ban was in my very beginning of playing on jb and I didn’t know the rules of the server, just like any new comer

 

That was december 5th it's currently January 18th. I don't believe that a new comer should apply a month later. And I do like you as a friend. Your very fun to play with but sometimes you break rules so I would like to see more change.

 

I was banned for silly reasons with Morgan and valias. Just because I get banned doesn’t mean I’m doing something to make myself look bad. You aren’t even on the server half as much as me. Don’t judge me if you aren’t even here

 

I may not support because I barley see you on anymore and every time you are on you seem to be in some sort of trouble so until you change -support

 

Bumping in place of FiregearsX.

 

Thx for bumping in my place, now I can bump for myself. Yay.

 

I’m glad that my potential has finally gotten higher than my down votes. I’m making progress bois.

 

Thx bb

 

Eh. 11 for potential. THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.

 

Thank you for this meaningful post, very cool.

 

Lol. You’re welcome. Mostly showing that I’m still interested.

 

We call that a bump and it’s once a week.

 

Ah. Understood

 

Just letting everyone know that I’m still very much interested in becoming a mod and thx to everybody for the potential and support.

 

A bump to show everyone I’m still interested in mod.

 

You bumped on Monday, relax.

 

Oh. Sorry I forgot it’s once a week

 

Bump to show that I’m still very much interested

 

still hasn't been a week

 

Bump to show that I’m still interested

 

It still hasn’t been a week. Please try counting to 7 before you post a bump.

 

It’s actually been 6 days

 

I posted it on Tuesday so 6 days micheal responded on Wednesday

 

But anyways I’ll make sure to follow the weekly protocol.

 

Bump to show I’m still interested

 

I’m still interested in being mod. Idk how to prove that I would be a good fit other than continue to enjoy the server and try to stop those who try to go against the rules.

 

Try not breaking rules, it helps when you apply for mod.

 

I try not to break the rules and I understand that I need to be better at it.

 

+Support Never seen him ever break a rule before. One of Idleserver Jailbreak's finest candidate to ever submit a moderator application. He is a very proactive member of this welcoming community and is the life and blood of any Jailbreak server he is on (#1, #2, or #3)! What has this community come to to not see one of the very best right under their noses?

 

A reminder that I’m still very much interested

 

Boi. It was a mistake and you know it. Sky was there and saw it too and saw it was a mistake. So stop being a prick

 

Thank you for the recent support and I hope to prove that I am right to earn it.

 

A bump to show you all I’m still very much interested in becoming a mod

 

A bump to show I’m still interested

 

Thank you for those who have showed me support. I hope that if I do get mod that you all appreciate that you helped me get there

 

What. I haven’t broken red entrances since I applied for mod.

 

Remember, if you want your support to be counted, you must rate the application "Support for Staff(Upvote)," if you fail to do so, your support will not be counted.

 

A bump to show that I am still interested in becoming mod. Thank you for the support

 

A big ol bump to show that I’m still interested in becoming a mod

 

Sure thing.

 

Since when have you ever been on when I’m on? I still have never seen you on in general, and are you sure you have the right person? I have been significantly trying to improve since I applied for mod and plenty of people of seen my improvements. The amount of people who now support me should be evidence enough.

 

Bump to show I’m still interested in becoming a mod

 

A bump. Thx for all the support

 

A bump to show that I’m still interested in becoming a mod. I appreciate all the support. Hopefully I’ll be able to become mod soon

 

Sorry for being inactive I was really busy. I’m still very interested in becoming mod

 

I've gone on many times in the past months and I have seen no change to FiregearsX's behavior. Posts are made on this application that he enforces rules, calls admins, etc. I have not seen him enforce a single rule when I have been on, and I've joined games where there's one or two players constantly breaking rules and when I get in FiregearsX just says something along the lines of "that guy mass freekilled earlier". Why didn't he call anyone? I've told FiregearsX that he's free to contact me at any time and he certainly didn't try contacting me, and I had been online for 2+ hours. How long did he just let this person do whatever? I don't think FiregearsX is ready to be a mod if he isn't even willing to ask someone to get on, something that's as easy as typing a sentence.

TL;DR: If FiregearsX is not willing to do the easiest of things to stop a rule breaker, why would I believe he's willing to punish them when he's a mod?

 

When there is a rule breaker I do message people. I message those who are online. The mods I message the most are the rok, qumine and greasy. I message feminine bill nye, Morgan, ding dong, and you when I see your online (but most of the time they either don’t respond or can’t join). Sometimes I don’t always see when staff is online and I’m sorry for that, but unlike the current staff I am constantly on the server trying to enforce rules to the best of my ability and try to make the best of the situation. I enforce the rules constantly over mic rather than chat and when a mod or admin joins I don’t always point things out because I know that “certain” staff members see those actions that I message to them and see the actions for themselves and deal with it right away.

 

since this is one of the days I'm on the website, I'll take this time to give my opinion on Fire.

Ok, where to begin? First I think he has a very good personality, in that he is kinda a joker. he likes to try to make the round interesting and fun. I don't think I've seen too many people, if any, who dislike firegears while he's warden. however, him not being serious really puts me on the fence. all I can say on that is I feel he is missing a bit of mod material, though I can't put my finger on it. regarding rules he's pretty solid, requiring few corrections. what concerns me though is that he has received guardbans for freekill, but I can't know the context behind those so I won't dwell on them too much.
regarding the argument above, I have been contacted by fire when there is a problem, however from reading his chat logs I have seen some cases that I haven't heard about. Of course, I can't infer too much from this as I don't know the context behind it (ex. there was a mod on). I have seen his "oh btw, this guy freekilled earlier". these cases would require talking to a mod when they happen no matter the mods way of moderating- and should a mod say they are busy it's their job to contact an available mod/admin to join the server, and if they don't ask around some more.
So, all in all, I'd say he's not quite mod ready yet but there is certainly potential here.

Given the amount of time that he spends on Idle jailbreak and recent departures of some of our staff, I think it's time to seriously consider Firegears for mod. He knows the rules and though he has broken plenty of them in the past, I think he can be trusted to enforce them. Recently, I have gotten into the habit going offline on Steam and sneaking onto jailbreak servers under a different name to observe. I haven't seen him breaking rules which is something I was concerned about. We need more active staff members, especially with school starting for many, and I think someone as active as Firegears is worth giving a chance.

 

I disagree. While it's true that he doesn't break rules as much as he used to, he still tends to, some of which are on accident, some of which are intentional. The latter is what bugs me. For reference. His guardbans are always adding, some what of a trend it seems. I do see that the trend has paused, but I do not believe he is ready due to the amount of recent bans. Some bans I'd like to highlight are the bans from 7/23 to 8/04. FireGearsX intentionally freehit multiple blues, and attempted to pin blame on another player because he had the same weapon, meaning it made the same sound when shot. The issue is the fact he attempted to lie about team hitting, instead of openly admitting it. Next, hitting buttons. A rule he should well know by now, but still breaks. Freehitting, self explanatory. As I stated before, I do not believe FireGearsX is ready to be a mod since he shows that he still breaks rules intentionally, and should clean up his act before being promoted to moderator.
