Who are we?
BlakeCraft is a small, new Minecraft server owned by myself, Blake1Studios. We have been open since April, and have a small playerbase of a few friends and other players. The BlakeCraft team is looking to expand our staff team, management team, and player base by recruiting some new faces onto our team!
Our server includes a few games for players to enjoy, and we are looking to recruit developers/admins to help make even more! We currently offer these games:
- Creative
- No-Grief Survival
- PVP Games
Who are we recruiting?
We are looking to recruit Trainees (or server moderators), and administrators (staff that work on projects; server developers get this rank too). We are also looking for YouTubers who can make videos on the server in exchange for our YT rank. More info on each of the ranks can be found below.
- TRAINEES:
Trainees are a moderator rank. The rank is a 2-4 week trial rank to see how fit you are for the position. As a Trainee on our server you will be expected to do the following:
- Be active on our Slack team. Talking with other staff members and using it when needed.
- Assist in the fair punishment of rule breakers on the server. You will be required to follow our Staff Protocol when punishing players.
- You will be tasked with moderating some of our games while players are playing them.
- You will also be asked to attend our staff meetings when possible.
After 2-4 weeks of being a Trainee, our Senior Moderators and above will decide if you will stay on the team. If you stay, you will be given the Moderator rank.
- ADMINISTRATORS:
Administrators are the highest rank on our server. They watch the staff members' performance, work on cool new updates for the server, and help make crucial decisions for the server staff team. Administrators and Senior Moderators also help lead the staff meetings. Administrators on BlakeCraft are expected to do the following:
- Be as active as possible on our Slack team. Talking with other admins and the moderators when possible.
- Assist in checking staff members' performance. Let the management team know if someone is abusing or just having poor performance.
- All administrators main jobs are to help work on new updates and builds for the server.
- DEVELOPERS will be given this rank and will be asked to make simple, cool new games for the server.
- INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING FOR US?
If you make plugins for Spigot, BungeeCord, and other platforms and can work at a relatively cheap rate (or preferably for free) please apply for Developer below. If accepted you will be given the Admin rank.
- YOUTUBERS:
If you have a YouTube channel and are interested in making videos on our server, please feel free to apply for the YouTube rank. As a YouTuber you will be given commands like /vanish, staff chat, and a few other VIP perks. Also some YouTubers will be invited to join our Slack team. We have no requirements for the rank, we just ask that you be active in making cool videos on our server. Please note we cannot pay YouTubers. Sorry, but do not ask to be paid.

I will do anything you ask me to do to help and promote the server. I can get more people to start playing the server and make it a happier server in general.
Pretty well but stupid people can get annoying over a period of time.
I have been playing minecraft since it came out and know how almost everything works. I will help with anything and do whatever you need. I can come up with some good ideas to make the server better.
I will be online as often as I can. I do not have Slack but if I get accepted I will create one right away.
I would really love to work on a server. Thank you for taking time to read this

What experience do you have building, moderating, or administrating servers? Elaborate on what you did and where:Yes i started playing Minecraft about 4 years ago and instantly applied for a helper position on a small server called InsaneMC. On Insane i was quickly moved up to Moderator then Head-Mod and finally Admin. A position i held for more than 2 years. In late September of this year InsaneMC was officially sold to a buyer so that position was relinquished. I was also moderator on a server called Skyrim MC but i left a couple weeks ago on account that they just kept pushing the release date cause nothing was getting done.[/b]
What is your age?:15
Timezone?:set usa
How much time can you dedicate to the job each day?:4-7PM Weekdays, 7Am-6PM Weekends[/b]
How can you help improve our server? What roles do you wish to perform while working with us?:By keeping community safe from hackers and spammers
How good are you on working with teams?:im very good I get along with everyone
Please tell us about yourself and why we should select you for the job:To begin with, I feel I should take part in the staffing community here because I ensure a large portion of qualified time as well as extreme experiences and a sincere inclination in moderating over the chat and providing the necessary satisfaction to players in need of any particular assistance. I am a person who shares a natural obligation and heavy dedication to those in need of a correct moderation. I will be there to help them with confusion/questions for hours worth of time as well! My highest priority when it comes to staffing is that I focus on most is moderating over servers. I am not really a person who wants to dedicate themselves to formulating new structures or residing to head-to-head combat. I find it more intriguing to supply players with a jubilant sense of feeling from my overall performance. I would be sure to keep dissonance from progressing to ghastly circumstances. I would basically focus on the whole idea of my existence to staffing within this community, which is simply stated by pursuing a largely said portion of time spent on the server, encompassing the chat within a correctly moderated state, assuring the prosperity of attentiveness to answer all questions to my highest potential, keeping in touch with other fellow staff about suggestions/ideas/answers, and securing the server from all egregious irrelevancy.I am also special and different in lots of ways. First off, my mentality is basically to work hard and play later. I do everything with the best of my ability or at least die trying. My effort is genuine and I am a very nice and reasonable person. I treat people with respect and I take stands based on facts and evidence, not because they are my friends or I know them. I am also a very neat and organized person. I may be considered a neat freak but the results pay off. Everything will be organized and in tip top shape. My experience also plays a huge role in who I am. I know lots of things and I have years of experience in running a team. I know what it takes to run a tip top team and how to maintain it. In the end, I have a lot of traits that would make me the ideal person for the job.Many people have different reasons to apply for staff. Mine will sound a little cheesy but its true. I purely enjoy helping people. It gives me a sense of gratitude when I show someone how to do things the right way or help someone with their issues. I am a good problem solver and I have an analytical brain. These traits make my job easy and fun. I know that staff isn’t meant to be a fun job, but keeping a cheerful attitude on job and being friendly to players makes more people want to come back to the server. I have two modes when being staff; one cheery light mood when I joke around and talk with players and a serious mood when dealing with issues. I NEVER allow these two to mix together because that could jeopardize my position and probably annoy some players. Lastly, I know that certain people apply for the rank because they think it will bring them respect and make them cool. I have never considered this as a reason to apply and I frankly hate these types of people. They often end up abusing their power and getting banned. I have never abused and will never abuse. I am applying because I believe that I have what it takes to help the server.There is a very clear reason in my head that makes me believe I am suitable to be staff, experience. Others may downplay experience but it has taught me a lot. From all of my different staff positions I have learned different things. First, my strategy for dealing with rule breaking players, I have reviewed lots of applications where the person says I will warn them three times and than mute them. Honestly I hate this strategy; its very robotic and the player will probably appeal and do it again. My personal preference to dealing with such issues is convincing. I like to try to talk a spammer out of spamming. In my opinion showing them how what they are doing is pointless and really does nothing can possibly convince them not to do it again. Of course this doesn’t always work than in that case I have to mute them. Banning to me is a last resort. I always oppose banning players unless it is obvious that they must be banned or it’s a last resort. In my view servers love their members and all that banning does is remove members. If we can change the view of such troublemakers than we can have a great community base. Also I understand how to treat a staff rank. When I have been given the privilege to serve on a staff team I take it very seriously. I will joke around with others but I have learned to respect the rank. Being staff will not make me cool or give me respect but it is my goal to help and server the players of this server. I understand that under no circumstances should I abuse and that I have been given a chance to be a part of the staff team, a chance I should be very grateful for. I hope that I can qualify above mediocre and be exceptional. My experience in the past has taught me how to deal with people, how to inspect and analyze a situation, and how to respect everyone. Lastly I do not have anger issues and I don’t rage. I have learned how to keep my cool even in the most frustrating situations. It will be very rare that you see me genuinely pissed off at someone. I have handled many situations in the past and I believe that the challenges I will face on your server will be within by ability.I am that guy you see online on a server that has 200 slots available and only one person online, that being me. I am that guy you see at 3 O'Clock in the morning playing Minecraft for no apparent reason on a cool Summer night. Dedication is what I lack in the past server I was working for and that was the reason why I quit or the server ended up being closed. I can assure you that I am very dedicated with everything. I will answer personal messages within a few hours, I can answer Skype messages the moment you send them. It's how I work and how I live my life. My job as a forum moderator requires me to be active so I am always on some sort of electronic device regardless of the time, area, and day. In return I expect my peers to be dedicated as well. The least I can do is return the favor by being active. I personally have a large sum of time on my hands. I only take one musical instrument outside of school, which frees up my time a lot. In order to balance this time I plan what I need to do every day. I understand that Moderating or Administrating is a very demanding job, but I am prepared to take it on. [/b]
Will you be active on working on the server, being active on Slack, and can you do the tasks Administrators are asked to do?:yes

I am very good at working with teams. I can lead, follow, or anything in between. Though I prefer to Lead, i will gladly do both, so long as I am helping the team I am happy. I have a tendency to bond with my teams sometimes even to the point where they are practically family.

What experience do you have in building or moderating servers? Elaborate on what you did and where: I have been helper at a previous server with quite a few people on it, They had this thing called 'staff of the month' which I won 3 times in a row! This server was based on factions but unfortunately got shut down due to the owner having IRL issues, although before they shut the server down they messaged me this 'Hey, Thanks for being such a great part of the server and helping many people achieving their goals! Good luck with the future' I was really upset to hear this, A few months later I decided to apply for staff again on another server I found interesting called PeachPvP, they were a faction server when I applied but have no moved on expanding the server into KitPvP, Prison and many more! I got a promotion a few weeks ago from Chat Mod to Helper! I have donated money into this server helping them achieve their goal of making a big server for lots of people to have fun on!

I love helping people if they need a spare hand, I just chuck my tools down and get to them ASAP, I love making new people feel welcomed and showing them around, I always answer questions that people ask me (not ALL questions since most people give me some silly questions)

I have owned and built a server in the past for me and my friends to play on.
15
Central Time Zone
4-6 hours a day
I will do anything you ask me to do to help and promote the server. I can get more people to start playing the server and make it a happier server in general.
Pretty well but stupid people can get annoying over a period of time.
I have been playing minecraft since it came out and know how almost everything works. I will help with anything and do whatever you need. I can come up with some good ideas to make the server better.
I will be online as often as I can. I do not have Slack but if I get accepted I will create one right away.
I would really love to work on a server. Thank you for taking time to read this

What experience do you have building, moderating, or administrating servers? Elaborate on what you did and where:Yes i started playing Minecraft about 4 years ago and instantly applied for a helper position on a small server called InsaneMC. On Insane i was quickly moved up to Moderator then Head-Mod and finally Admin. A position i held for more than 2 years. In late September of this year InsaneMC was officially sold to a buyer so that position was relinquished. I was also moderator on a server called Skyrim MC but i left a couple weeks ago on account that they just kept pushing the release date cause nothing was getting done.[/b]

How can you help improve our server? What roles do you wish to perform while working with us?:By keeping community safe from hackers and spammers
How good are you on working with teams?:im very good I get along with everyone
Please tell us about yourself and why we should select you for the job:To begin with, I feel I should take part in the staffing community here because I ensure a large portion of qualified time as well as extreme experiences and a sincere inclination in moderating over the chat and providing the necessary satisfaction to players in need of any particular assistance. I am a person who shares a natural obligation and heavy dedication to those in need of a correct moderation. I will be there to help them with confusion/questions for hours worth of time as well! My highest priority when it comes to staffing is that I focus on most is moderating over servers. I am not really a person who wants to dedicate themselves to formulating new structures or residing to head-to-head combat. I find it more intriguing to supply players with a jubilant sense of feeling from my overall performance. I would be sure to keep dissonance from progressing to ghastly circumstances. I would basically focus on the whole idea of my existence to staffing within this community, which is simply stated by pursuing a largely said portion of time spent on the server, encompassing the chat within a correctly moderated state, assuring the prosperity of attentiveness to answer all questions to my highest potential, keeping in touch with other fellow staff about suggestions/ideas/answers, and securing the server from all egregious irrelevancy.I am also special and different in lots of ways. First off, my mentality is basically to work hard and play later. I do everything with the best of my ability or at least die trying. My effort is genuine and I am a very nice and reasonable person. I treat people with respect and I take stands based on facts and evidence, not because they are my friends or I know them. I am also a very neat and organized person. I may be considered a neat freak but the results pay off. Everything will be organized and in tip top shape. My experience also plays a huge role in who I am. I know lots of things and I have years of experience in running a team. I know what it takes to run a tip top team and how to maintain it. In the end, I have a lot of traits that would make me the ideal person for the job.Many people have different reasons to apply for staff. Mine will sound a little cheesy but its true. I purely enjoy helping people. It gives me a sense of gratitude when I show someone how to do things the right way or help someone with their issues. I am a good problem solver and I have an analytical brain. These traits make my job easy and fun. I know that staff isn’t meant to be a fun job, but keeping a cheerful attitude on job and being friendly to players makes more people want to come back to the server. I have two modes when being staff; one cheery light mood when I joke around and talk with players and a serious mood when dealing with issues. I NEVER allow these two to mix together because that could jeopardize my position and probably annoy some players. Lastly, I know that certain people apply for the rank because they think it will bring them respect and make them cool. I have never considered this as a reason to apply and I frankly hate these types of people. They often end up abusing their power and getting banned. I have never abused and will never abuse. I am applying because I believe that I have what it takes to help the server.There is a very clear reason in my head that makes me believe I am suitable to be staff, experience. Others may downplay experience but it has taught me a lot. From all of my different staff positions I have learned different things. First, my strategy for dealing with rule breaking players, I have reviewed lots of applications where the person says I will warn them three times and than mute them. Honestly I hate this strategy; its very robotic and the player will probably appeal and do it again. My personal preference to dealing with such issues is convincing. I like to try to talk a spammer out of spamming. In my opinion showing them how what they are doing is pointless and really does nothing can possibly convince them not to do it again. Of course this doesn’t always work than in that case I have to mute them. Banning to me is a last resort. I always oppose banning players unless it is obvious that they must be banned or it’s a last resort. In my view servers love their members and all that banning does is remove members. If we can change the view of such troublemakers than we can have a great community base. Also I understand how to treat a staff rank. When I have been given the privilege to serve on a staff team I take it very seriously. I will joke around with others but I have learned to respect the rank. Being staff will not make me cool or give me respect but it is my goal to help and server the players of this server. I understand that under no circumstances should I abuse and that I have been given a chance to be a part of the staff team, a chance I should be very grateful for. I hope that I can qualify above mediocre and be exceptional. My experience in the past has taught me how to deal with people, how to inspect and analyze a situation, and how to respect everyone. Lastly I do not have anger issues and I don’t rage. I have learned how to keep my cool even in the most frustrating situations. It will be very rare that you see me genuinely pissed off at someone. I have handled many situations in the past and I believe that the challenges I will face on your server will be within by ability.I am that guy you see online on a server that has 200 slots available and only one person online, that being me. I am that guy you see at 3 O'Clock in the morning playing Minecraft for no apparent reason on a cool Summer night. Dedication is what I lack in the past server I was working for and that was the reason why I quit or the server ended up being closed. I can assure you that I am very dedicated with everything. I will answer personal messages within a few hours, I can answer Skype messages the moment you send them. It's how I work and how I live my life. My job as a forum moderator requires me to be active so I am always on some sort of electronic device regardless of the time, area, and day. In return I expect my peers to be dedicated as well. The least I can do is return the favor by being active. I personally have a large sum of time on my hands. I only take one musical instrument outside of school, which frees up my time a lot. In order to balance this time I plan what I need to do every day. I understand that Moderating or Administrating is a very demanding job, but I am prepared to take it on. [/b]
Will you be active on working on the server, being active on Slack, and can you do the tasks Administrators are asked to do?:yes

I have been staffed on many servers usually Moderating/Helping(Trainee Rank); however I was a Super-Admin for a Prison Server named Robo-Craft for a portion of time.
I Moderated/Helped on 2 servers Named: Wiccan Craft, and Grunt Survival
On those servers I would handle problems with Players and Help Train new Staff
When I was a Super Admin I would handle both Player and Staff Problems and help wherever i could with Plugins and Similar things.

How much time can you dedicate to the job each day?: Depends, I have a Job, so it can vary. On days I don't work I can dedicate several Hours and then depending on what hours i work i can get on the server whenever possible.
I can help improve your server by handling problems, answering questions from both Staff and Players. I can help basic server needs and I can handle Punishments, If necessary.
I am very good at working with teams. I can lead, follow, or anything in between. Though I prefer to Lead, i will gladly do both, so long as I am helping the team I am happy. I have a tendency to bond with my teams sometimes even to the point where they are practically family.
I am a hardworking, goal oriented person. I love video games and working on them. I have a very Novice Programmer. When put into a group with even people i hate I do my best to work with them to get what we are working on done. I am very experienced in leading and pride myself at being rather good at it. Also, though I am applying to be an Administrator I would be fine with having to start as a Trainee
I will be as active as I possibly can, When I am at work whenever I am able i will get on Slack to help or just to chat. I can do Most of the tasks Administrators are asked to do. Though anything I am not fully able to do I would gladly learn or just help with whatever I can.
No, everything important has been put in my application!

Good luck with the future' I was really upset to hear this, A few months later I decided to apply for staff again on another server I found interesting called PeachPvP, they were a faction server when I applied but have no moved on expanding the server into KitPvP, Prison and many more!
