Which DARKLY TF2 servers do you play on: I play mostly on Toronto Trade/Idle #2 but I am trying to branch out and get on all the Toronto servers
Why do you want to be a DARKLY TF2 Admin: Let's see where to begin. I started playing TF2 in May and got on to the DARKLY Chicago servers in June. I really like trading because there is a certain thrill to it that I really love. After Chicago servers shutdown I switched to Toronto and have been there just about everyday since then. I love the DARKLY servers because they are a lot more committed than some other ones I have been on. I met some of my best trading buddies on the servers and I feel it is an obligation to try and be mod so that more people can enjoy the benefits that I have had. I am also applying because we are in need of mods/admins on the servers. It does not happen too often but there is always a guy who comes on and does something against the rules (ex. spamming, inappropiate sprays, discrimination to others, etc.) and I would very much like to put a stop to it. Anyways I would love to be a mod because these are the best trade servers around and I want to help keep it that way and you guys are in need of some new mods/admins and I would love to help out. Thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy paragraph. Have an awesome day!

YES/NO Questions:

Do you have a minimum of 1 month on the server with at least 60 hours of play? Yes most definitely.
Do you have a mic? Yes, a kind of crappy one but it works well enough I plan on getting a new one.
Are you in good standing with the community? Yes
Are you at least 18 years of age? Yes

DarkPaladinPrime is an active regular on the servers and forums. He gets along with everyone from what I have seen, donates, is very mature, easy to have a conversation with and is always in a positive mood but with that being said I find him to be rather up tight many times when certain things happen.

While only a minor thing, on numerous occasions you have told players that the usage of profanity is against the rules on the Darkly servers which is not true unless it is discriminating, sexist or racist towards other players. Not only this, but I do not find that you take jokes very well and to an extent action will be needed but in the end this is Darkly, right? You may be thinking, what does this have to do with what I am applying for; so basically what I am getting at is if given said Moderator privileges, I could make a fair and quite accurate assumption of what you would do in those types of situations.

I wish you the best of luck in your application.
I am really hoping to be able to change and give you a +1 :)

If given moderator privileges I would be on probation so the worse possible thing I could do would just be muting people. The few minor issues I always miss half the story. I join the server when the joke is already half over. If I see two guys swearing at each other I naturally don't want to hear or see it so I do my best to stop it through conversation. Most of the time I get cursed at for intervening or the guys stop joking and tell me it was just a joke. Not my fault that I don't get kids sense of humor today. Then again I don't find guys going back and forth swearing at each other to be very humorous. I will do my best to not overreact to these situations in the future. I will see you all on the servers. =D
These kids jokes are bad and they should feel bad.
