Moderator Applications

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I love this server with all my heart and I would love to help out with anything I can to make it even better then it already is. Even though I've only been in this server for 2 months, I can honestly say I have fallen in love with the server and the people in the server because they are just too nice. I've also made some friends that I'd like to talk with for a long time. These people are honestly the biggest part of my life which is weird if you think about it but they're the friends that I never got to have.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

I’m friends with most everyone that are active, I’m guilty in the fact I’ve blocked several people because of their toxic or troll tendencies but I try to make friends. The friends I've made however I hope to be friends with them in the long future because they are very nice and I appreciate everything that's happened in this server.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

I’d do anything to be honest to be any help to the server, giving suggestions as I see fit and if I genuinely feel it would help the server. Moderator isn't just a position for me to flaunt my powers, but instead a position to be used to make the server a better place and for me to show that I care about the people in the server and do what I can to make them feel welcome and make sure that this is a server that is worth staying. It I feel that something is worth being in this server I would debate to try and get it to happen or just act based on what I feel is the best choice. I don’t feel that creative compared to other people but in the long run I feel I could suggest something to make the server a fun place to stay and a place that’s better for everybody. I also wouldn't ignore useless ideas because, as my Physics teacher loves to say, a useless idea is still helpful because it can bring up amazing ideas from different people, which in turn would actually make that idea not completely useless, but a trigger in bringing up discussion and quality ideas.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :) General chat, bot commands, calm chat. General chat because this is the chat where I can communicate with the most, calm chat when things get a little too crazy for me and bot-commands to give people rep, the ones I care about.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

-Since I joined this community, not long ago, I always wanted to help improving the community and the server itself, not only with keeping the members behavior, but also giving new ideas so the server can progress on the right way.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

-Yes! I try my best to be friendly with everyone and I think no one hates me. Almost every active member should know me so far and those who don't know, will probably talk with me in the future.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

-Of course, giving new ideas and opinions are part of being a mod in my opinion. Everytime I see a good and opportune suggestion I'll give it away, since I'm sure that that will help to improve the server.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

-Hard to choose since I'm almost on all channels, but the ones I talk more is #general,#calm,#music-channel,#but-commands, because I'm always fishing and sometimes talking randomly with people there. As for VC, I rarely talk there due being shy and English is not being my first language, however I'll try to improve that.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I remain as an active member in the community, watching over various events and talking whenever necessary or just to talk to other people. I'd prefer to serve as a moderator than my current position, as I feel like, after recent events, it would probably be more beneficial to fill up the moderator ranks. Also, this server has already done so much for me, and it only seems right to give back to the community.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Generally speaking, yes. I usually don't try to start drama and remain friendly and courteous to the other members in the community, whether they are being friendly or not.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Yes, as I feel that it is not only an obligation to watch for certain activity, but also to help the community grow in order to make it better. There will always be suggestions and ideas to present to the other staff members.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

My favorite channel would probably be #general, surprisingly. Although I would prefer other channels, #general is the one channel that I get to greet other people and sometimes have a decent conversation. I do watch over almost all of other channels though, and sometimes have better conversations in these channels, such as in #calm, #voice-text, and #bot-commands, when #general gets too crazy.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I’ve been in this server for roughly two months now and have ended up highly engaged with it in a short amount of time. Due to my current disability leave from work, I have an exorbitant amount of time to spend in front of my PC. I normally use part (or all) of this free time to either be in voice chat or talk in text channels within the server. I’m familiar with hosting events for servers/guilds and within the first few weeks here had a few game giveaways that I’ll likely continue to do from time to time as well as a few other ideas. The underlying reason however, is I enjoy being of service to others and as a moderator you are the first person someone goes to for assistance when they need it.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Yes, I am friends with many of the active members in voice chat in particular as well as other areas of the server.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Advocating for best practice within any social setting, whether its online or in real life, is key to it surviving. Discussing any ongoing issues with fellow staff is imperative if multiple perspectives on a situation are required, so yes, of course I would. As long as there is a structure for open communication between staff members, there should be no real issue.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Probably voice chat, I like my spoken interactions. Second would be calm chat, plenty of excellent conversations go on in there and its a bit easier to stay on top of than General. That said, I'm active in most all of the channels and frequently post pics in #tasty-food.

#1 I can't let Eva carry the entire workload by themselves even if GG wants to watch the world burn.

With that aside, I have moderated for servers, and groups in the past as well as moderated for game servers on the 360 and other non-steam games.

Sakura may be gone but they are not forgotten.

Busy days are on sunday-monday, as those are the days I do my vector statics work.

#2 I am on friendly terms with the majority of the active members, and care for the well-being of a good number of them.

#3 I am not someone who has been known to schedule events, I just don't enjoy pushing events onto others. On a different note providing suggestions, ideas and concerns is an important part in maintaining the well-being of a server or business.

#4 calm- chat (which sadly isn't very calming anymore)

Those random conversations you have with a person at 2am about the notions of how quantum physics doesn't work is always the most fun.

How difficult is it for you to find the time in your day to read all of these?

-interviewees are generally given a time to ask questions with the interviewer

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I've been here for what feels like so much longer in just a 3 month time span and that's because all of you, a large community yet so close. From all corners of the world brought together as friends but eventually becoming family. Both loving and hating each other :Megu:. I've learned from and bonded with this community, spending most of my time here. To be a mod would be both an honor and privilege to further contribute.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

I'd say I know quite a few members and some of them know me better than others. With all the time I've spent here you at least know of me.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

:Ohoho: Always :Ohoho:

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Although I talk almost everywhere I prefer #r18-chat-realm. The mature #calm :Ohoho:

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

My reason for being moderator is my desire to help towards making the server a place for everyone to enjoy. No matter how much time or patience I have to put in, I find comfort here, I want everyone else to feel the same way. As a member I find myself wanting to be part of the solution, and not the issue. Being moderator would help with that, as it would allow me to help keep the environment peaceful, and enforced. I have been mod in two other servers now, my main goal is always to keep everyone safe and happy (when possible, I understand I can't make everyone happy. But I'll try my hardest to find a fair meeting point). As a previous moderator, I have plenty of experience dealing with issues one on one, meaning I am willing to put in as much time as needed to solve an issue. This includes my ability to see an issues from both sides, as I base my opinions on experience and allow all people to be heard.This means my DMs would always be open, even if just for cheering people up when needed. I want to be seen as part of a support system, not just as someone to report issues to. However, when there comes a time for me to rule on an issue, I am very straightforward about my judgement. If someone needs me to explain my reasoning, I am willing to do so with ease.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Yes! I would say I am friends with quite a number of people in the community. Since joining I've made quite a number of friends here, I'd like to see the numbers increase. I genuinely enjoy talking to people, I make a point to be active as best as I can. I tend to be quite active in DMs, but I make sure I talk in general daily. I care for this server and the people in it, even the people I have yet to have a full conversation with. My intent is to be even more active than I currently am to ensure I am a part of the positive in the community.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Indeed, one of my main reasons for applying for moderation is to be able to have a part in discussions. The community is important to me, and I would be grateful to have a chance to be part of making it thrive. I'm very active in staff discussions, whether I am needed or not. It's more about being part of the experience, and being able to understand situations at a later date. If I ever had suggestions I would provide them without hesitance, as if ideas aren't put out there it's a loss. Even if the idea is a dud, it can easily spark some other worthwhile ideas that might turn out to be a success. There are times I get a little too into giving suggestions and advice, it can be my downfall.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

I don't exactly have a favorite, it used to be #calm. But, I just tend to chat where ever conversations take me. I am the most active in #general currently. I check all chats, and I try to engage where I can. A lot of times I have accidental conversations in #bot-commands as well. I'm also active in VC, of which I'm going to do my best to be even more active in.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

People usually think of moderator role as to manage the community; mute, kick, or ban inappropriate users, delete inappropriate messages as well as to keep the server clean and friendly. To me, being a moderator helps me to gain more experience for my future career, either online, or in real life.

As a moderator, I don’t want to just do what a normal moderator do; I want to approach to the members in a best way that does not make them feel uncomfortable, as to respect everyone and their opinion, make friends with them, and help them with situations that they need help with. I also have some mentor experience that actually help for some people who has problems that cannot share to other people.

I have created and moderated a decent self-owned server for 2 years before transferring owner due to school schedule reason, helped setting up all needs for over 20 servers, and have experience with 10 bots, two of them are well-experienced which are Tatsumaki and Nadeko (Akane).

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Generally yes. I am not a close person with anyone in the server, but I like to meet new people, including those who have been in the server before me. I like to have a talk with someone in DM after getting to know them in the general chat to get a better understanding on that person. My relationship to members there is as same as the university mentor: friendly, nice, and always want the best for their student. I like to hear about the issues members have, try to solve them together, and thus improve my own learning experience and relationship.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Of course. Without ideas/suggestions/concerns, how can a community grow better? I do not hesitate to give out my ideas, suggestions, or concerns, because I think it is not a request, but rather be a duty of many moderators. My ideas/suggestions/concerns are not always correct, so I want to listen to other's ideas/suggestions/concerns to correct my incorrect ideas/suggestions/concerns.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin?

I am active in #general, #calm, #bot-commands, #r18-chat-realm, and Music channel voice chats. Sometimes I come to other channels/voice chats to read some messages and write down some comments.

#1.  Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I've been a member since August and saw how the community has grown. Honestly, I am pretty new in discord and don't really hang around in other servers other than Sin's server. LNaLS has been one of the first few servers I joined and I instantly felt at home. The people have been very warm and caring. It is a place where you can be yourself and have meaningful discussions or just random talk. I love how the server has almost everything and how it caters to everyone's interests. I would love to be able to further develop the community and help the members enjoy their stay. If being a mod can give me more opportunities to assist and guide others, I would love to serve that way.

#2.  Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Yes, since my stay I have been friends with a lot of the members and I found this community my home. As time went by a some people left or started to become inactive while new members come along the way. At first I got intimidated by this change but eventually made more friends I would love to keep. I am very thankful that I got to know more about the members. In terms of conflict, I am usually neutral and try to hear out people's side first before taking proper action. I am always willing to listen to others even if it just minor complains or stories they want to tell.

#3.  Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

There is always room to grow and it would be a great privilege to work with our staff. It is an honor to provide ideas and suggestions for the development and improvement of the community. To create fun ways and events for people to interact more. I would love to work together and be part of the team that keeps the server going.

#4.  What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin.

My favorite channels are #music-channel, #member-creations, and #bot-commands.

First, #music-channel as it allows us to listen to music as well as share songs we love with each other. I personally love this channel (mostly Sing Sing) because I can express myself through making music and we can sing along together.

Second, I love the creations page and saw it grow from a "I bought this" page to a place where people can show their talents and stuff they have been working on. It's a interesting way to meet people beyond what goes on in general.

Lastly, I love testing out bots and finding new ways to play around with them. I love discovering new games and bots for the community to play with.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I love the communitys around Anime groups in general. Moderating is a great way to help and grow communities I'm in. I am already volunteering in several Anime related groups.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

No not really, as I just joined, but I know a few people from my volunteering in Anime Fan Group.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Yes of course. I regularly code and am also an entrepreneur.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Easy; the #general chat, because its the place to talk about anything and everything.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

As a community, I really like this place. I was welcomed and included in conversations as soon as I joined, and there's a friendly, yet humourus atmosphere here. (characteristics a lot of Discord servers are generally not very well known for.) I want to conserve this atmosphere, and make sure every new member is well recieved, as well as do anything I can to further improve the server as a whole :)

Additionally I also like moderating/administrating discord servers, as I generally enjoy challenges and configuration stuff. (be it bots, perms or even just bumping the server)

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

As far as I'm concerned, yes. As I am new in this server, I have not met all of the members here, but I find myself getting to know new members here every day and I quickly get friendly with them. I do not easily get aggrivated, and I try to be as friendly as I can at all times. I do have a few "best buds" here now aswell, and I'd always love to get more. ^_^

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Yes. I have quite a lot of experience from the past as a moderator/administrator from other platinum servers, and I finally feel like I've found a place where I can settle down. I also usually find myself spending the day (when I'm on the bus and stuff) develpoping new ideas for the server. (don't judge :p)

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

My favourite channel is either #general or #General Voice Chat #2.5 as that's where I encounter the most people, and where the funniest conversations take place. ^_^

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

I've been along with this server much longer than any server I have ever found on Discord. The members are friendly, the mods and admins are (99% of the time) active and caring. There are many stuff to do around the server besides chatting. I feel like I can relief all of my stress and (slight) depressions from IRL to here, when I come on and greet my great friendos. :D

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Well yes.

"Be less Kaito" and "Kaito pls" might be my 2 favorite reasons why I like to be friends with the people here.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Yep. I have SO many ideas for this channel, especially special events for the holidays and other times too. :DDD

It feels like I'm actually contributing to this platform rather than just being a part of it

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Of course, the great 3, #general, #calm and #voice-text. Sometimes #pic-vids-random-drop too, and mostly the voice chats, such as #general-voice-chats and #sing-sing-vc

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

My initial interest in moderation is to contribute towards the server by seeing its friendly and warming atmosphere flourish. Why, you ask? Well, I personally feel in awe of the work put in by Sinical, and those involved behind the scenes, and they deserve a server that is well moderated by people who feel passionate about it. Sustaining a controlled environment where everybody can enjoy and feel welcome, is significant towards achieving this goal. I would like current, and future members to experience the comfort I have had the pleasure of receiving, as well as providing it to others, when they too, become a part of this community. Something more I would like to add, is that though I realise my need for the server to prosper, with my current situation at university, I feel that I would be ultimately limited towards what I could do. If anything, my ability to help moderate the chats would be something I will find time for and is something I could feel confident doing.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

Over my time on the server, I have come leaps and bounds, and built bonds with members and feel like I fit in quite comfortably with the community. I do my best to help bring a friendly and enjoyable environment to other members, especially to those who are new.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

With reference to the point I made in my answer to the first question, falling under the goal of seeing the server flourish is of course to identify issues within it. I am very willing to bring up issues I feel are necessary to making the server a better place, and will be confident in doing so. I recognise building on current systems is just as important as implicating new ones, and will again, confidently suggest and show interest in helping see it through.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Tough question. I would answer #bot-commands, as its ability to connect you with other members is surprising to say the least. Who knew cuddling a random person, then proceeding to fish could seem so satisfying. This channel incorporates both silly and fun interactions, to manifest a social and friendly atmosphere.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community? I have a tendency to want to help people out and because of this I would like to be a mod to help the server and everyone in it. I have been actually thinking about being a mod to help out more. Basically if there would be anything that I would be able to do to help out as a mod I will be willing to do it.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)? Yes I am friends with the members here and always enjoy making new friends as well. I am a very friendly and kind person at heart.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff? Yes, I would gladly help out by giving ideas, suggestions, and/or concerns to the other staff. As I had said before I would really like to help out in any way that I possibly can.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :) I like a few of the channels such as the RP channels the General and Voice text channel as well as the voice chats in general since I really like to interact with others even though I have a tendency to be shy. It really helps me out most of the time when it comes to my shyness with me using voice. Over all these channels make me very happy cause I am always interacting with other people and having a fun time.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

My interest in moderating for this community, is because of two impactful factors that have been in the original discord server, Life Needs a Little Sin. The first, is that ever since I joined several months back, in I believe sometime in March-April-May of 2017 (I’m a little poor with exact times, my apologies.), the community has been in a growing flourish with many individuals that’ve made me more comfortable in communicating with people I’ve never met before.

The friendliness of the community was possibly one of the first most impactful things to happen in 2017, the second reason however, that I’d wanted to give back to the people I’ve met and have been influenced by, and try to protect the friends, and happy community goers from unfriendly elements.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

I do my best to be friends with everyone in Life Needs a Little Sin, LNaLS, even those I may not agree with on a personal level, I do my best to remain friendly and try to defuse bad situations. Truly, I don’t want to be hostile with anyone, I do get a little heated but I’m more than willing to mend things for those in LNaLS to be friends again.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Normally, I don’t have very many ideas that mold a community into a new shape, with empowerment I believe I would be more tempered with my suggestions, trying to help with both offering ideas to resolve concerns, and bring whatever I can to help with refining the server LNaLS into a big(ger) gem we’ve all worked to keep shining.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

My favorite channel is admittedly General, despite my more shy self, keeping me from contributing much as I’d like, General is where I think everyone comes together under a fair set of guidelines, and talk how they feel is comfortable with the community.

Thank you for reading over my application, regardless of the result, I appreciate the effort given to read this over!

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

i am interested in assisting and helping this community grow and prosper in whatever ways I can. I have been an administrator or moderator on many servers before including large ones, i'm very familiar with the ins and outs of moderating servers. over the past 3 months i have been on the server i have been active and would like to put a strong foot forward to assisting the server in becoming better than it already is. I tend to have large amounts time and i feel putting it towards moderation is a good use of that time, spending it on a community i have a passion for. I have strong resolve and am capable of dealing with issues in a non bias manner, i consider these people to be my friends, but the best way to deal with friends is to tell it to them straight and treat them like you'd treat anybody else whether good or bad. I am not against criticism, and if people believe i have made a mistake, i am always willing to re-look at an issue as long as people are willing to talk to me about it, and my mind can be changed. And i always am willing to attempt to help with an issue if people need assistance.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

I feel i'm generally friends with most on the discord, i'm very laid back and tend to get along with most people i interact with, i consider everyone i meet to be a comrade to be, and im very familiar with adapting to many kinds of people so befriending near anybody im not already friends with who wish to be friends with me im very friendly to most everyone i meet.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

Yes, i'm the type of person who will voice my mind, if i have an idea, ill put it forward, whether or not it may be a good idea, not voicing opinions stagnates progression, along the same line, i voice concerns because letting things that aren't work sit and stew stagnates progression as well. Within a team setting, its important that the team attempt to innovate and adapt to whatever is required of them.

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

Voice Text, because i myself enjoy using the voice chats just as much if not more than the text chats, though a lot of the people in voice chats tend to be shy, so thus i have voice text open on a regular basis its the best of both worlds you could say, The ability to Engage with your voice or with text depending on your mood.

#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?

My love for the Sin community is undying no matter what the situation is. I want to see the community flourish and I would like to contribute to the growth of the community. That being said, I had, have and always will be keeping an eye on the community and helping out in any way I can, regardless of my position. But attaining a position that allows me to do my bidding will certainly help.

#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?

I'd like to think so! My presence in the community is somewhat pronounced and I have no problems being friends with pretty much anyone. Of course, I'm already friends with various members in the community, including Our True Lord Sinny.

#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?

If needed, I will provide my input. Just ask away!

#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin...not judging. :)

The General Chat. It's my go-to text channel and it helps me to connect with the community and have fun with them!
