Druid (Tim Miller) Contact email: trm5205@psu.edu (personal) Moderator application.

. Objective I have decided to send in an application for moderator, as I believe there is something that I can contribute if promoted. I will overview any skills I have, whether they are subjective or objective, and explain why I believe Id make a useful moderator for Powerbot. Education Graduate, Upper St. Clair High School, Upper St. Clair, PA, June 2010 Honors graduate GPA: 3.85 WGPA: 4.55 Member of the National Honor Society Received High and Highest Academic Honors recognition grades 9-12 Course work included AP Calculus, AP Physics, Introduction to Engineering, Technology Design and Development, Engineering Design and Fabrication, Introduction to and Advanced Architectural Engineering Varsity letter earned in rifle, grades 9 -12, individual WPIALS grades 11-12 Junior at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, majoring in Industrial Engineering, GPA 2.78.

Why is my University GPA much lower than my High School GPA? From the beginning of college through Sophomore year, I was plunged into a deep depression. I had little motivation to do any school work, and spent most of my time at the computer in my apartment. After Sophomore year, I was diagnosed with ADD and am being treated with proper medication. For a whole year now, I have been able to operate at the same work ethic I possessed in High School. People in my major look up to me, and one of my friends has even said that I motivate him to do better. Another student even offered to pay me for tutoring this semester in IE405: Linear Programming; I tutored her, however I refused to accept payment.

Moderating experience I have not had too much moderating experience in the past, however I have had some. I was an off-topic moderator for rs2cheatz.net (formerly rs2cheating.us, later merged with rsunderground), owned by the user Impulse, who I believe was one of, if not both, the Snellman brothers. I also moderated some lesser known Runescape private server forums, as well as other general forums which were created by friends. I am a quick and efficient learner, so regardless, I would not have any trouble adjusting to moderating a site like Powerbot. About Me Over time, my job and my school work has required me to work with people. Often, these people need excessive explanation in order to understand a specific topic. For example, I have held review sessions for classes in the past year upon request, and I have had to facilitate processes in order to allow other people to understand. I understand people and how they think, and I am an excellent judge of character. By communicating with someone, I often can decipher a way in which to best explain

an aspect in terms that enables him or her to understand. I believe that that is a valuable quality to have as a moderator to be able to explain things to people in respectable terms that they understand while simultaneously conveying the message. I am also a very patient person, as well as motivated. Despite my battle with depression, I am a completely changed person. I am practically never bored, and take great interest in activities others would find mind numbingly boring. For example, in Runescape, I achieved 20 million experience in both the skills Mining and Runecrafting. Being a member of a botting site that may not seem very impressive, except at the time I was a completely legit player and was not a member of any botting or cheating web sites or communities. I achieved 99s and beyond and both those skills by powermining iron in f2p for Mining, as well as trips to the mining guild; and I achieved 99 Runecrafting by making nature runes up until 85, astral runes from 85 to 90, and from 90-99 I alternated between ZMI, abyss runecrafting, natures, and astrals (Runecrafting was easily my favorite skill). I believe that alone represents the patience that I possess, and that same patience is applicable as well as essential when dealing with people on a forum. Lastly, I am gifted at arguing. I very much like to argue with people, as a matter of fact. I have the ability to form opinions and back them up with applicable evidence, and I do not make conclusions based on entirely subjective thoughts. I am also able to accept when I am wrong, and will not carry out an argument in which I am clearly wrong. I have a way with using evidence to point out peoples flaws in logic, and I believe that quality could be immensely useful in helping with both disputes and appeals, as well as dealing with members in need of assistance. Conclusion I realize that I post in random a lot in fact, practically all the time. However, I truly it would be a mistake not to consider myself or other active random members as moderators. As an example, Apple used to actively spam random and forum games; now, he is one of the most useful moderators I have seen in my time on Powerbot. I firmly believe no I know I could contribute the same kind of aid that he does. Thank you very much for reading, Druid.
