A few fairly significant things have changed since my last application hence why I am creating this one.
Note: Gatherix said I'm free to make this revised application, so here we go.
Game Handle(s): DARKLY | Ħ∆℘℘ƴ$тїx™
SteamID: STEAM_0:0:63229145
Previous Clan: None (Darkly is my first and will be my only clan)
Community affiliations: Administrator for a new community called TF2 Universe.
Real First Name: Justin
Age: 19
Location: Ohio
Which DARKLY TF2 servers do you play on: Honestly I play on #2 the most but I try my best to play on all of them equally. I am beginning to venture out to other Darkly servers, and am discovering in the process that they have some minor issues that could easily be fixed with a regular moderator to play on them.
Why do you want to be a DARKLY TF2 Moderator: Despite only being roughly a month since I was denied on my first application, I am beginning to be bothered by the problem players on the various "unpopular" servers like #4 & #5, which I have sadly discovered are barely moderated, to not even moderated at all (I don't blame the mods though as they aren't my favorite servers either). I do my best already to handle situations by myself, but without any power to help control situations, I feel like I am a lonely fish swimming against the current and it doesn't always work out the way I'd like it to. I eventually end up messaging another mod to handle such a simple case of mic/chat spamming which are by far the most popular cases. I have spent the majority of my playing time on server #2 which is with out a doubt in my mind, the most moderated server out of all the rest. This is why it is by far my favorite server to play on and I see an abundance of mods/admins on the server at all times but only a few that regularly go to other servers. I am just asking for simple mod commands to help with the nuisances on the servers and minor problems that may follow such as mic/chat spamming, racism, porn sprays, etc. I am on the servers regularly so I think I can hit two birds with one stone if you know what I mean. I have great gratitude and desire to help the Darkly servers and I feel like returning everything that this community has provided me with, by moderating.
Edit: 11/18/13
I would like to add that--I really enjoy hosting free mass spycrabs on the Darkly servers to keep them fun, populated and highly reputated but also to keep players coming back, again and again. I have already had a blast doing an unusual spycrab for everyone to participate in and hopefully I can continue to do more in hopefully the near future, especially since the community is demanding me to do more of those crabs. To get to my point however, I see many 1:1 spycrabs on the servers when I am on at times and often I see them not using a middleman because of the availability of mods/admins on certain servers (as mentioned above). Often, this leads to scamming situations where players run, or in extreme cases when a player acts as a trusted middleman in order to obtain the items for the crab, but leave immediately. This then leads to almost "useless" reports on the forums for situations that could have been already solved by using a mod/admin, etc. In conclusion, I am a highly trustworthy person (as also mentioned numerous times below from other members) and I would like to partake in being a middleman (by moderating) for spycrabs in order to create a better environment and reduce the amount of reports that get submitted, here, on the forums.
Edit: 12/1/13
With the growing user base on the Darkly Trade Servers, more and more help is gradually being needed in order to keep them in good shape and free of nuisances that will only harm. As of now, there can't be moderators or admins everywhere to cover all the servers throughout the day. This is another reason why I applied for this position on Darkly. Having such simple mod commands can go a long way by reducing the amount of spammers mostly. I constantly contact mods for various reasons, mainly when there is something that needs to be stopped I notice that the other players leave because of these certain players that annoy the heck out of the server. Giving me these privileges will also reduce the amount of ban requests being submitted for cases that can easily be handled with a gag/mute/kick, or whichever is most appropriate for the situation. I have well over the amount of time required, I am highly active on the forums, surprisingly I have gotten tons of support on my application and I have made great friends along the way within the community. I know I am ready to make a difference, I am just waiting patiently to seek a chance, hopefully.
YES/NO Questions:
Do you have a minimum of 1 month on the server with at least 60 hours of play? Yes (Around 6 months with well over 12 days on the servers) [School plays a big factor in those numbers but I do my best to maintain a regular server presence]
Do you have a mic? Absolutely (Recently upgraded to a Siberia SteelSeries V2)
Are you in good standing with the community? In my opinion I am
Are you at least 18 years of age? Perhaps
Other Information:
[Removed so that the rest of my application can be assessed/reviewed more efficiently and effectively]

I am sorry for making this application so soon Gatherix and I understand if it is rejected again but I feel as though waiting the recommended amount of time will not help the atmosphere of the trade servers. I have really gotten to see how the community works/functions and have met some very nice people along the way. I feel that I have matured not only in servers, but also on the forums if you compare myself on the first day to where I am now.
Feel free to leave your questions, comments or concerns regarding this application below.
Thanks and Happy Trading,
