Moderator Application - Sinnikin (Please Reject)
Rezathin (Logan5353):
Congratz! If you ever have any questions you can ask me. Have fun being Mod!
Sinnikin:
Dear Staff,
This was not an easy decision to make; it is with reluctance that I’m submitting this letter. I am grateful for the time I've had with the moderators, and am happy that I was able to work with you all for the duration I have. Although my time being a moderator has been, on the whole, satisfying and productive, until today I was under the false impression that I would still have time to myself for my personal projects and general game play on the server.
I was informed today that as a moderator, you do not get any breaks or time to yourself to actually play.
When I submitted my application, I was doing so to donate the time I was able to help lift some of the burden off the mods' shoulders, and sincerely assist with helping others. If I had known that it would mean sacrificing the entirety of my time online, I would not have wasted yours and submitted this application.
Therefore, it is with regret that I ask you to accept this as my resignation from the Moderator Trial rank. If I can help to train any replacements or new recruits, please let me know. I am sorry for any trouble this causes, and do not wish any ill will.
I have enjoyed working with you all and appreciate the opportunities I have been given here. I wish the Moderators, operators and admin much success in the future.
Sincerely,
Sinnikin
Edit: Also, if you need my screenshots for all of my proof for banning records, I am more than willing to send the folder.

Wait, youre going to quit because I said that? Already? Its not that bad. You normally get time off when the guests arent on. Its just because of 1.2.4. You dont have to leave, we need you D:

Please, do not take it personally. D: I made the mistake of assuming being a moderator would be similar to the Beekin Program of Furcadia.
We had badges that allowed us to toggle when we were on and off duty. When we wished to help out we merely turned on our badges and fulfilled our duties. We decided how long and when we would help. I love being able to help, but I did not realize that it would not be on my terms. I have a lot of big projects that I want to do, and if I had known that being a moderator meant sacrificing the entirety of my free time, rather than only the time I wished to donate, I would not have wasted your guys' time with this application.
If there were a way to be a part-time moderator, I would be more than willing to do so. My initial plan was to be on duty from 9am-5pm EST Monday through Friday. I wanted to keep the weekends to myself so I could work on my own projects and have a break. But I misjudged that it requires that you help every/any time you log in to the server.
Your_Mine:
You are an excellent mod. Please do not quit.
As for you concerns about free time, I have two things to say:
1) It's not always this busy. There will be slow times in which you can take time for yourself, perhaps taking turns with the mods that are online.
2) Discuss with the admins to see if they'd be willing to give time off for mods who are on very often like you are. Maybe we could implement a system in which mods can "earn" time off after a certain amount of time spent actively modding.
