ArOuNDThaWOrLD@USEast Application

Name: Gabriel

Age: 19

Game moderator specialty (see below for choices): NWU + Legion TD

Brief introduction: Hello, my name is Gabriel also known as ArOuNDThaWOrLD on Warcraft III. I'm currently studying in computer science and in my free time, I play video games. I speak both English and French since I come from Québec in Canada.

What are your current hours of playing time (approximate)? On Warcraft III I'd say I easily have a couple thousands of hours played since the game has been released.

What is your current time zone? My time zone is Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Describe any relevant experience, both in moderating and in Warcraft III: First of all, I've been a MOD on BGN for at least 2 months before going innactive so I'm pretty familiar with the system and have a decent experience when it comes to being a mod in general (decisions, bans, rules, etc.)I've also had been moderator on a couple NWU bots on USEast and Europe. I own my own bot so I know how it works and which commands should be used and which ones should not. I've been pretty much playing Warcraft III since the start and so far to me it's a game that never gets old.

Why do you want to become a game moderator?: Well recently I've been seeing a lot of ban requests not been taken care of since I understand that admins/mod don't always have time for it and I want to help as much as possible. I also feel like there isn't much moderation on the NWU bots (I mostly see matdas and takenrun but rarely). I'm online for usually long periods both on the website and WC3 so taking care of ban requests or moderating games whenever I can is no problem.

What will you bring to the ENT/Warcraft III community? I'm an experienced player in NWU and I feel like I can make sure people who play the game have the best experience possible (few or no leavers, not having to deal with map hackers, etc.)

Closing Statement: I'm an active player with experience in moderating. I speak 2 language fluently so I can help people who don't understand english very well. I like to troll and have fun, but I have my limits when it comes to it. :)

Here are some ban requests I've posted or participated in:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16170

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16147

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14860

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14526

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14383

Here are some appeals I've supported:

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=15536

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=14678

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14144

You should edit your application and add what ban requests you have helped with, it will help a lot of the other mods to decide.

Please do that first.

Now,
I see this player on very frequently, both in-game on the servers and on the forums. However I do not feel that the staff team really needs more people, I think we just need more activeness and more concern towards ban requests, basically our role.

If we do seem fit to have another moderator, I believe you would do fine and you'd have my full support, although you have to remember that you cannot get angry at players, we want to make it a friendly environment for all whom want to play.

If you had 1 hour of free time on the internet if you were just taking a break or anything as such, what would you do with it??

I don't believe this kind of question is necessary, as long as he realizes he needs to take time to both process ban requests and moderate in-game he is fine.

So the question is, will you be continually active in the ban requests section and offer input where it is needed?

If you can do that, and are a stable person, I would definitely support.

Well my usual routine when I'm bored on the internet is to check for anything new I can find. Check emails, Facebook, reddit, forums (ent, nwu-forum, kirazone, etc). Probably also check on Warcraft III if anyone whispered me or if my friends are online. :)

Get your mind out of the gutter it is a perfectly reasonable question, some people if they had an hour to spare would rather play a game then do ban requests those are the things we are looking for not power hungry morons we are looking for active staff.

In an hour you can easily do 5-10 ban requests depending on how they are and if you are good or not.

From reading your application I think you look like you genuinely want to help the community by handling ban req and appeals.
I read some of your posts in the ban req and appeals section, and think you handle them very well. !Support Gl with your application

While I do joke around with him from time to time, it seems that he does want to help around the community. He has my support.
