    In-game Name:
    My first in-game name was (and it is now) Gems4, but around 5-8 months ago I changed it to SrBananaPanda. It has since been changed back to Gems4.

    What country do you live in?

    Team USA! :)
    What language do you speak?
    I am fluent in English, but not in any other languages. (I am starting Spanish class this year :p)

    Do you have 2FA enabled?
    No, I do not. I am considering enabling it in the future. (Probably yes).

    Do you have necessary means of capturing evidence?
    Yes, I do. Minecraft itself has a built in screenshot system (for those of you that haven't changed the key bind, just press F2 ;-). And, me being a Windows user, I can start recording on short notice in-game with a click of a button.
    Why do you want to be a helper?
    Ok, here we go. The "Make or Break question" I like to call it (Thanks @BananaTiger for suggesting that quote ;D). So, first of all, I believe that I have the traits to become a great helper. I know, I have had some run-ins with people in the past. And, at times, I have been very immature. Yet, despite all this, I think I have what it takes to become a Minetime Helper. I have been on the Minetime network for almost 4 years now, I have seen it in it's finest hour, and in it's darkest days. With all this time I have spent here comes experience. I know my way very well around this server. At this point, I know how this server works, (it's rules, commands, interacting with other users). Patience has always been kind of hard for me, but I try my best, and I have been getting good at this now. I try my best to be kind to others, I'm a decent role model, and pretty good at keeping order, following rules, and listening to my peers. I am confident in my abilities. I know I can make a difference. There are four factors which come into play when accepting a job like this.
    Honesty
    This is the key to keeping trust. Lying is one of the worst things you can do when being considered for a position like this. I have been consistently showing my ability to be trusted in the past few years, whether it's in the Minetime community, or in real life.
    Respect
    Be sure to look up to and follow those who are in a position higher than you. I'll admit, I've had quite a few run-ins with Kyleep, but I have changed. I can now safely say that I am a teachable person, and I will take feedback to heart.
    Kindness
    I find it kind of sad that this character trait has been so overlooked in the community recently. I have been mean and cruel to others, I admit. But I have moved on. I have had past mistakes, yet I have corrected them. Sometimes, I well have my dark days, but, overall, I know I can be a nice person.
    Humility
    Humility is also known as being humble, or putting others before yourself. This has always been a bit tricky for me, but I have a knack for being empathetic in situations. Staff member's jobs are to take care of the community, and restore order throughout the network. Humility is a huge part to play in that, and I believe that I can put others before myself.

    How active can you be?
    *All of the following statistics are averages, and may not always be accurate*
    Weekdays: Around 1.5-2 hours [3:45-7:00 P.M]
    Friday: 1-3 hours [3:45-8:30 P.M]
    Saturday: 1-4 hours [8:30 A.M-8:00 P.M]
    Sunday: 1 hour [1:00-3:00 P.M]

    How long have you been playing Minetime?
    Minetime was one of my first servers to play on. I have been playing Minetime since roughly fall of 2013, and I have been a member of the forums since December 12, 2014.
    Have you ever been banned in the past?
    Never :)

    Do you have any past experience being a moderator/helper?
    Yes, on a number of smaller servers. In some occasions, I have been promoted to Admin, And most of the servers had around 10-50 players.

    Thank you all, for taking the time to read my application! For those of you out there also applying, Good luck! :)

    I suggest you don't use a different font and color for each section title.

    A very nice, detailed application, I would just remove the unnecessary detail from In-Game Name:

    Neutral. The idea of changing font and colour is creative, but not very appealing. I Recommend you include more as the "Why do you want to be helper?" section is tiny

    I'm going to stay neutral for now. By the way, I recommend you don't use different colors for every section.

    Neutral,
    My only advice is too lower the size of the text for the titles and use one font and colour, it just makes it look more professional.
