Server(s) you are interested in moderating: Gamemaker

How active can you be per week? I’ve been online on gamemaker everyday since the beta tests sessions, didn’t miss a single one. At least 5 hours everyday, during the night until around 4-5am EST

Do you have any punishments on our network? If so, please describe the steps you have taken to improve as a community member since your punishments: I don’t as far as I remember, but checking my status it says I joined munchy on 2016, but I was very young so I have no idea if I did have any punishments, cause I didn’t even remember I joined munchy back there. But considering it has been 8 years, I’m a very different person from who I was that time (I was literally 10-9).

Have you applied for a role on Munchy before? If so, please explain the steps you have taken to improve as an applicant since your last application: I have not, this is my first application

What do you think your reputation is like within the community? I’m friends with a lot of people in the community and have been since the beginning someone people go to ask for help on gamemaker, mainly with coding the maps, and I’ve been always very happy to help everyone, reply their questions, go to their maps teach them how to do what they want etc. I created a discord server where gamemaker players can go and interact, talk about the server, make questions, share pictures. I’m there before the server got opened to the public so it has been an amazing time see everyone getting the same passion about the server I have.

Why are you interested in the role and what motivated you to apply? Since there is a lot of brazilians and portuguese speakers in the server, I think would be good to have someone who understand them to make the environment welcoming to them but also make sure everyone is following the rules. I want to make so it’s a safe place for them, and for the rest of the community. I could also add that I want to help people to get used to how the gamemode works, how to use the functions and coding the maps (which is the part people struggle the most) but I already do that without being staff, but I would love to be able to help the new people that don’t know who to reach out, they could call a helper with a great knowledge of the gamemode.

Out of 10 (with 10 being very knowledgeable), how would you rate your knowledge on moderating a community?
9/10. I’ve moderated discord servers and twitch chats for a while, and also am main admin in a small vanilla minecraft server, which taught me a lot about managing a minecraft server and moderating it’s community.
Stuff I do as admin:
Manage/Operate the server with acess to host pannel, where I work to make the server to operate property, take care of backups, install new plugins;
Answer tickets opened by the players on discord who need admin help to such as move buildings, fix bugs, execute certain commands etc;
Moderate in game chat and discord server;
Lead the admin team teaching them about minecraft commands and how new plugins work;
Always work to improve the server adding new stuff to keep the players interested on playing, such as preparing lore events, new dynamics, add new content (currently working on making tasks system to earn money and a shop to buy exclusive items).

Out of 10 (with 10 being very knowledgeable), what would you rate your knowledge on MunchyMC’s GameMaker?
10/10. I’ve been considered one of the best coders in the community for the fact I know a lot about the features and can not only make complex games but also help everyone make their own. Always excited to learn how to use new stuff added to the menu and use them for my projects

EDITS
After reading a lot of other applications and feedbacks from other people on them, I’ve added some stuff that would be great to include in my application!

  1. Added the time I’m usually online
  2. Included the fact I joined munchy when I was a kid, so maybe there is punishements I do not remember.
  3. Made clear I’m already someone who is always helping people, them being new or not, to understand how the gamemode works.
  4. Put more specifics about what I do as admin in another minecraft server.

+1 is an understatement, honestly

Sam’s made so many creative things already and even before the beta was open I remember them being incredibly involved and knowledgeable about the coding and functions. Would be a shame not to have him really

They are on all the time and seem to have some of the most experience and knowledge about GameMaker and how its coding works more than anyone else.

Also a very good application that is very detailed.

I’m sure Sam plays GM more than is healthy but before I even joined the server I always saw how he is helping everyone (everyoneeeee), he has a big heart and deserves a lot of good things. I don’t even know how to place a block, but I know he would stop everthing and help me in two seconds if I ask. (I’m also very anxious about speaking english, so it’s so good to know that there’s another brazilian to help). I’ll never forget that time Sam helped find the cure for my grandmother’s cancer. +1

hehe thank you ruby ilysm <3 but you Hate me and dont log onnnnn

+1 Samu is a very kind person who is always happy to help other people, and is very knowledgeable about all of the Game Maker mechanics. He gets along well with everyone, and I think that is an important trait for a Helper to have. You can be sure that he’ll be on top of every new feature that gets added to the server and will be able to help other people use it in no time. Trust me, as someone who’s been in academia for a few years and also has teacher training, I know a quick learner when I see one.
