If you wish to be considered for senior admin status on the Total Freedom Server, please post a message in this section with the subject 'Senior Admin Application', and provide the following information:
NOTE: Note: If you were a former Total Freedom senior admin, do not fill out this application - fill out the application per goo.gl/hQFLRB
1. Your Minecraft name and timezone (e.g. GMT+1:00 or EST): (also include any old IGNs and forum names that you used as an admin)
My current name is mychaeljkmax - other IGNs I have had are YourMicSucs, MCDNTF_90, LOOOLLL, MininqDiamondz, and XxQuintillionzxX. Other forum names were the same as my previous IGNs. My time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
2. Do you have Discord? (Yes or No). Although not required, Discord will make it easier to communicate with the owner in time sensitive situations. You need not list your tag here.
Yes, I do have discord.
3. What date were you appointed to Telnet-Clan admin status? For example 10 Jun 2015. Also, state how many times you were removed from admin status due to conduct violations and when/why (do not include instances of removal for inactivity).
I was appointed to Telnet Clan on November 15th, 2017. I have never been suspended or removed for misconduct.
4. Unlike Telnet, a Senior Admin is a primarily a leadership position and you must be able to lead other admins in a mature manner and be a responsible representative of Total Freedom. Provide a short paragraph of your accomplishments and why you think you'd made a good senior admin.
While I understand that I’ve been less active compared to my activity about 1-2 years ago, I am returning and have already significantly boosted my activity on the server and forum in just a few days. I lack no confidence whatsoever in my abilities to pick up where I always leave off, I feel that I can always make contributions effectively and quickly, regardless of my being off the server and forum for a given amount of time. Regardless of my server activity I regularly check the forums, even if regularly means only a few times a month. Now I check them much more often. I believe that as my time as an administrator here, I’ve improved exceptionally every year, and in the 2, almost 3 years I’ve been here, I’ve become a completely new person, as well as a completely new administrator. I value the importance of acting like a senior no matter what your rank is, and no administrator should sell themselves short. Even as a Telnet and a Telnet Clan, I began to correct lower ranking administrators and resolve social conflicts between admins in-game. Whenever necessary, I take every step possible to win my side of an argument, especially if that argument involves server policy or bans. I find myself good at multitasking and I believe I can handle more than one administrative task at a time, I have panel, the forum, and the server open all at once, to ensure that I’m prepared with anything that may come my way that I may have to settle via server, forum, or both.
I also believe respect is a critical quality between administrators, and especially seniors, that needs to be emphasized much more than it already has. The best role models on the server are those that respect all players and admins, regardless of rank or status, and continue to respect those players and admins regardless of how many rules they break or how many times they go rogue. That isn’t to say that every admin and player deserves a promotion, many admins and players are clearly in the wrong and deserve server punishment, but disrespect and belittling is something that is never warranted. I am exceptionally confident in my ability to stay calm in situations where I am being verbally attacked, by player or by admin. When interrogated by higher ranking admins regarding something I am
Accused of, such as misconduct, I am able to defend myself verbally and calmly, always coming out on top.
I recently removed an administrator via the suspension procedures temporarily although he was suspended by an executive soon after. I was at first nervous as I had never removed an admin before but the removal turned out to be valid. After this, I have gained more confidence in my abilities to handle administrators that are not behaving correctly, while at the same time still leaving executive decisions to the higher-ups and adhering strictly to the policies.
Another quality of mine that I believe makes me a good candidate is that I am not overly professional. Many admins believe that to make a good admin, it is necessary to be a hard case with double standards and memorize every policy and rule, and to never joke around. While it’s imporrant to act mature and represent the server in a positive light, both extremes, too mature, and too immature, are equally as harmful. As a senior, or any admin for that matter, you have to be able to lighten up, show a friendly face, joke and laugh, while at the same time helping those in need and making sure the rules are being followed and players, as well as fellow admins, are kept in line. Nobody wants to join a server with overbearing, uptight admins, they want to join a server with friendly, personable, effective and mature admins.
I may have already mentioned that my activity might be an issue for some people that will vote on this application; I am applying now because over the rest of the summer is when I’ll be able to be most active, of course once school starts back up my activity will drop, although I will still make an appearance at least a few times a week, if not on the server, the forums and on panel. My activity is also increasing as of a couple of days ago so you can expect to see me often. I do hope you consider my application.
5. How often will you be able to perform senior administrative duties (including the server & forum)? State either daily, several times a week, once or twice a week, or less than once a week.
Right now, several times a week. Months from now, less but still at a steady rate.
6. Names of senior admins that have recommended you. You must have at least one senior recommend you. If you apply without a recommendation and no senior vouches, your application will be disapproved.
Premintex
Lionnco
Geek
Crëscendø
I just recently requested senior recommendations, so I may or may not receive more.
7. Did you pick any super admin under the Telnet Pick A Super (TPAS) program? If so, who?
No, I did not. I have felt no need to rush it and if it so happens that I never find a good fit, no harm in that.
8. Do you have a family member that's been on the perm ban list within the 60 past days? If yes, you're not eligible for promotion consideration.
No
Note 1: If an admin asks you a direct question, you should reply. If an admin objects and give reasons that you believe are incorrect, you may reply to state why you believe the reasons are incorrect and nothing more; do not rage or get dramatic - just state facts and do not reply more than once; no debates.
EDIT: As I will be going to a summer camp for 3 weeks, I will be inactive during that time and won't have access to the server or forum. Please don't let this inactivity be a reason for you to object, I have contributed to the best of my ability this week and will continue to do so after the camp, although school will be starting up soon after. I will still be available. Thanks in advance.
