The Owners and staff have better things to do than read staff Applications.

^ What kitty said =p

I knew you would say this.
I said nothing to do with quantity, I was saying it will INCREASE QUALITY in staff, knowing what they are good at first hand, rather than later.

I don't think it's possible to increase quality when it's already at maximum quality.

The reason we don't use applications is because when a player gets recommended for staff or stands out, that is because a staff member has been watching them and noticed the dedication, maturity, and activeness on the server. It is not just an application that gets you staff, it's your personality, maturity, ability to deal with situations, etc. Not a few, fake lies regurgitated onto an application.

Well said, well said.

Imagine the spam. The staff can't possibly get to every application. In-game decisions are so much better, because A) you can see what they actually interact with random players like, and B) so much more work has to be put in to show true dedication. In applications, they only have to think, not really doing anything for the benefit of the Head-Admin's decision of who will be a moderator or not.

Hypixel did this.
Sorry wait.... HYPIXEL DID THIS
THAT SERVER GETS 16000 PLAYERS ALL THE TIME
How could they possibly do this? they get RECRUITERS, people specifically there to recruit new staff.
We all know this server is going to get bigger resulting in more staff, Quality is not going to matter at this point, new minigames and stuff. Can't have 1 staff member in 2 places at once.

Please don't advertise servers.

Actually you can have two minecrafts open and moderate two lots of chat at once.

Quality is not going to matter

Quality always has, and always will, matter. We don't want people who abuse. We don't want inactive people. We don't want people that are just there for the rank, and don't actually help by muting or banning. Quality does matter.

Looks like i was right =3

People can easily lie in appeals. People can turn out to be completely different to what they say they're like. It increases the quality of staff if we judge them on how they usually act and how they would do overall, not on how well they can write an application, as writing applications isn't a skill needed to be moderator, some really good mods may not be good at writing applications, but they could be a good mod. Also, some of the best mods are the ones who never thought of themselves ever getting mod. Skills that is needed is knowing the rules, being able to deal with player, being active and many more, isn't it better if we judge them on how they usually do these things and how they would do these things if they were mod rather than judging them on how well they say they can do it? People often think too little or too much of themselves, people who think too little may think they don't deserve mod, even if they would make a great one. Then there's the people who think too much of themselves that may be put down by a rejection of a mod app, and may rage and cause problems, creating multiple mod applications and spamming. Also, imagine how much work it would create. I do enough comparing and contrasting of written pieces in school, I don't need to have to compare and contrast multiple extremely long mod applications. Then there's the people who may be too shy to apply, who would make good mods. Also, people don't tend to state their flaws in applications, but if we judge them on how they usually act we have a better view of how good of a mod they would be. I say no to this idea, the system is fine as it is in my opinion.

I wanted to type dat... Ibanu

And anyone can easily copy someone else's application, get mod, and ban half of the players on the server :/
I don't like applications :P Full of lies.
