Joekoe’s Staff Application // December 2020
Prerequisite checklist:
- Have you been a regular player on MunchyMC for at least one month?:
Yes, I joined the server in June 2020 since that time I’ve been an active Woolwars for 6 months;
- Are you able to record and upload good quality videos of hackers?:
Yes, I use OBS to record my videos in 720p and 60fps.
- Do you have TeamSpeak3 and Discord downloaded and are competent with them?:
I have both but I prefer using Discord over TeamSpeak3. I used TeamSpeak before and I know the basic things. I prefer Discord because I’m a lot more active on there. I’m not that active on TeamSpeak because I’m not really comfortable with talking to people, who I barely know.

Application
IGN:
Joekoe (previously RipJoekoe)
Age:
16
Timezone:
UTC/GMT +1 (The Netherlands, Amsterdam)
Languages spoken:
Dutch [First language. Fluent] and English [fluent]
Server(s) you are interested in moderating:
Woolwars
How active can you be per week?
It depends on my school schedule (I’m making my schoolwork before coming online), so it’s really hard for me to make an activity schedule per week (I’m doing a study where it’s tough to plan homework). But I’m almost every night available. So depending on that this will be my activity;
Monday - Thursday: circa 3 hours
Friday - Saturday: circa 5 hours
Sunday: circa 4 hours
Do you have any punishments on our network? If so, please describe your side of story:
I got false banned three times. Here is my story behind all these false bans;
-
First ban; I got (what I was told) false tabbed, so that means a moderator(+) just tabbed my name wrong in the chat and shortly after the misunderstanding I was unbanned.
-
Second ban; I was in a game of WoolWar and when the game ended I spawned in the spawn of WoolWars and suddenly I heard a lot of anvil noises. I got banned by Ares, appealed, and got unbanned. (I didn’t get the reason for why I got false banned)
-
Third ban; This ban was a bit more complicated. I was participating in an event on KitPVP and I died so I went to /warp event and I was 1v1’ing a friend of mine and got randomly banned. My appeal got denied (because it was the third time that I was falsely banned), after I saw it got denied I pm’ed a staff member and he unbanned me (I had F3 screenshot’s from the time I got banned).
I don’t know if it’s just unlucky or that it has something to do with the client I’m using (Badlion).
Have you applied for this role before? If so, please explain the steps you have taken to improve as an applicant since your last application:
Yes, I’ve applied for staff in the summer 2020 edition. I didn’t get a reason why but I think it’s good that I didn’t get one. I had to think about it myself and I concluded that I was one of the newer players with not a lot of experience/knowledge in the community. I improved this to start making more and more friends in the WoolWars community! In the last weeks, I tried to be as active on the Forums as possible. I’m especially replying to the WoolWars Forum posts because I can give the best point of view about this. I still can be a bit more active in the Discord from WoolWars.
What do you think your reputation is like within the community?
I think I improved my reputation way more in the last 3 months. I became one of the most well-known and active players in the WoolWars community. I’ve been a member of the community for the past 6 months and I think in those 6 months I’ve created a high trust level from the community. A few months back I made a WoolWars named Avatar Map. I made this with some of my clan members. I’m planning on making a new map this month! I also organized small parts of a clan war (APPA). I participate in almost every WoolWars event. Some people may know me for my YouTube Channel, I make videos about WoolWars especially challenges! I’ve made so many friends on Munchy, I really like the community and I try to let people stay in the server.
Why are you interested in the role and what motivated you to apply?
I already love to help people with questions on the server but after being active 6 months straight I’ve built the motivation to help the server with toxicity/intolerance/hackers etc. I see a lot of people using inappropriate language towards the game and players. It’s sad that I can’t do anything against this. I have to report this and this can take some time. I’ve helped new people with rules and questions. I’ve seen so many join the amazing WoolWars community which makes me very happy!
Out of 10 (with 10 being very knowledgeable), how would you rate your knowledge on moderating a community?
I would rate myself an 8.5/10, I’ve some experience in moderating a server already. This was on a Dutch server where I got a lot of experience in moderating. It wasn’t as big as WoolWars but I know how to deal with stressful situations. I’m very stress-resistant, I’m calm in almost every situation, and most of the time I know what the right decision is to make. I’m not scared to say my opinion about how people act in the community. If I notice any toxicity or mean behavior towards other players I’m saying something about it.
Out of 10 (with 10 being very knowledgeable), what would you rate your knowledge on Minecraft hacks and cheats, including finding and identifying cheaters?
8/10, I’ve some experience with hacks. I moderated servers where got hacked on a lot. I’ve used hacks in a single player world to get to know as many abilities as I could. I can notice very quickly if a player is hacking/using an unfair advantage. I know a lot about the basic hacks for example killaura and speed. I’m not really up to date with the newer hacks because the clients develop new abilities.
I also noticed that when WoolWars is lagging it looks like people are hacking while they aren’t that’s just the lag. I’ve played a lot of time in these lag times and I can see clearly see if it’s lag or hacks.
Please link us to any hacker reports you have made (recorded and/or reported) on MunchyMC:
