Do you have Staff Experience?

 Yes I do, I have had many different Staff Experience on HCF servers and regular Factions server

1. TheArchon (Regular Factions) I was a helper on this server for a good 3 months where i experienced many different situations such as helping in TeamSpeak and also sorting many different situations in game, these things ranged from People spamming, using Caps and swearing, the rules on this server were very strict, Also i had to deal with lots of different people coming on the server and advertising. As a helper I only had /tempban which meant I had to get a higher up staff member such as a Moderator or a Sr-Moderator to Perm ban some of the advertisers. Also every single kick/ban/warn had to be recorded into the Skype Staff Chat with proof of what they did, when doing this I learned many different skills and ways to speed this process up. I also had to deal with hackers which were very common on this server, I was not allowed to ban them, I had to get video proof of them hacking and have it uploaded where then the Sr-Moderators Perm banned them.

2. VitalityHCF (HCF) I applied on this server while they had a whitelist on as they were releasing a new map, the past map I had played and had really enjoyed it, I then got accepted by their Managers which then i got a whitelist on the server so i could help them as i was really experienced with working on server, as i owned my own server in the past for about a year. After a few days of me helping them, they realised that they needed a few more higher staff members before they released the server, i then got chosen to get promoted straight to Mod+ this was due to my hard work in helping them to set everything up, i even helped the owner build a few different things for the server. After this i got promoted again due to one of the other owners resigning and moving on, this  time i got promoted to Jr. Admin, where i then learned many different skills such as finding and identifying hackers and cheaters, I had to find them with out any anti-cheat as the anti-cheat on this server was broken on SOTW, this was very challenging but we managed to ban around about 60 Hackers on SOTW with no Anti-cheat, this was an impressive amount as it was not a huge server and only got around a 100 players daily. After the first week of the server I had been working along side the Owner which then decided to promote me to Admin and give me OP to just help him out a little more, with maintaining and managing the server. unfortunately the server got griefed a week later and we decided to shut it down and merge.

3. This now brings me onto my 3rd staff experience, WenjaPVP this is where VitalityHCF merged with, I got given the Manager rank on the merge and have been working very hard on keeping all the staff members under control and helping them along. This was a huge opportunity for me as i love to help out servers when they need it, I also love to have power and authority on servers i love playing, This is why i am applying for Trial-Moderator on MineHQ. When i was staff on WenjaPVP, i learned many different skills that were carried on and improved on from VitalityHCF, such as sorting many different situations in TeamSpeak and in game, I know how to ScreenShare and many answers to questions that people may ask. During being staff on WenjaPVP I made a new Staff guide which i put many hours into making to help the staff follow the rules better and I also re created their Forums as the owner asked me to help him with it. I also had to promote, accept and deny Staff Members, I would go by how active staff are and how much they help people in game and TeamSpeak, i would also look at how they communicate with people on the server and see if they are professional or not.

Why do you want to be staff on MineHQ? Well i would like to be staff on MineHQ to help out the community and to show how experienced i am. I personally think that MineHQ is an Amazing server that need more amazing staff members to help out. I also love to moderate a server in way such as Chat, and Forums and also TeamSpeak. I love to work as a team (Staff Team) with helping players out. Also I'm capable of knowing who's cheating, and who's not. This means, if someone is getting insane amount of diamonds every 15 seconds, I know that their using x-ray, if someone finds good enough diamonds every 30-40 seconds, I'll assume that their legit, if their doing weird patterns though, like looking through walls, breaking places, running around and getting closer to diamonds, I will screenshare them, or ask them to admit, if they admit, I'll temp ban them for 14 days, but before that I will take everything that they got via X-ray, if they don't admit and I find something, I'll tempban them for 30 days, or what length you guys use. And as said, take all their items that I assume they got via x-ray. I can also help them with buy craft as much as i possibly can such as:

If someone comes in TeamSpeak asking why they have not received their rank i will simply go through the steps of

1. Check the buy craft WebStore recent purchases (but with MineHQ you don't have that)
2. Ask how long they have been waiting for this purchase to come through.
3. I will then ask if they have a Transaction ID, which is emailed to them once they buy the item from buy craft.
4. If they have that i will try to get in touch with an Admin or Owner (who ever has access to buy craft) to make sure it has gone through the system.
5. If it has not come through then (most cases) i will simply ask them to wait until it has come though, if it has not come though within 30 mins to come back in teamspeak and i will try to sort it for them.

Do you have any ScreenShare skills?

Yes if i were to ScreenShare someone i would:

1. Have the player change the attack button to the following hotkeys one by one, RightShift, G, Grave, and X.
2. Have the player go into snooper settings and scroll all the way down to make sure he isn’t using a client such as Jigsaw.
3. Have the player go through all his resource pack folders, checking each resource pack looking for anything that looks like a X-ray pack.
4. Ask the player to go into his .minecraft mods folder. I know the sizes of all the forge mods, so this part would be easy for me to check which ones are ghost clients and which ones are not.
5. Ask the player to go to their browser and type vape.gg to see if they have any history, if not I would ask them to go to their browser task bar and go to recent history.
6. Ask them to go into their files and look up vape, if nothing shows up I would do repeat this step, except asking them to look up spook.
7. Once I make sure the players .minecraft folder is 100% clean I will then go ahead and ask them to go to the desktop, If I find any clients or modifications for minecraft I will ask him to check the date modified, if the last time he opened/moved it was more then 24 hours I will let him go, if not I will ask him about that and hopefully he will admit.
8. If the screen share carries on after that I will ask the player to go to Skype received files and see if anyone on Skype sent him a spook or vape client. I will also go to TeamSpeak received files and check that as well.

Also if you have a staff guide, will make sure i follow every rule in that document.

Thank you MatOG
