Herewith I would like to send in my moderator application for

Personal information
My name is Berat, I am 17 years old (almost 18) and I'm currently attending 12th grade in order to do my A levels. During leisure time, I do fitness training at home to stay fit, play shooter games like CS:GO sometimes, take care of my school work and meet good friends every so often.
Contact data
Contacting me is only possible by writing pinboard posts or private messages on elitepvpers.
Motives of my application
Back in the days, I left elitepvpers' staff because of new private projects including, among others, animation production & video game recording. Due to lack of time & motivation consequently, I was not able to continue working actively as moderator anymore. Staying almost completely inactive while still being a moderator was definitely out of question. Instead, I rather made way for new candidates interested in doing moderator's work. Anyway, almost one year has passed since my resignation and at the present time, I'm surfing on elitepvpers as an active reader. In the course of this, the desire for moderating again has been increasing and one has even started missing its old term retrospectively. Another motive is, needless to say, keeping the section I have applied for clean and supporting this board energetically. The support of course includes handling of easier complaints and pinboard post reports. General Gaming is one of the bigger sections on elitepvpers and, compared to the previous years, it has even grown after the general private server departments had been moved to it. Said move was suggested by me by the way. In times past,

Psychical fitness
During my term of office, I was able to deal with questions being seemingly stupid or self-explaining. Furthermore, I felt sympathetic to people who sometimes complained right after they had been given a warning or infraction and as a consequence, I often tried to explain them more specifically what they did wrong per private message. However, when it came to offending and offensive language and insults, appropriate action was taken in most cases.
Reasons for and against recruitment
Some users might want to know for which reasons I'm not having a former staff rank anymore. The removal was due to a cynical, flouting post about former BM's moderators – of course without mentioning any names. In addition to that, I sometimes had provocative conflicts/contentions with (mostly higher-ranking) staff colleagues which were often my fault and which I regret retrospectively. Anyways, I of course have positive & good sides, too. Back in the days, I took my job seriously and often attended in internal discussions as well. Furthermore, the improvement of this board was important to me, considering my ideas & suggestions I made internal, in Suggestions section and per private message. Eventual worries about demotivation and lack of time are not necessary. I can absolutely assure epvp's administration that I could/would moderate energetically as well as actively for another years.
Experience as moderator
I worked from September 9th, 2013 to September 11st, 2014 (ergo one year) as moderator on elitepvpers in the following sections: General Gaming, which I had once applied for two years ago, Lineage 2 and last but not least, The Black Market. I can get along with userscripts and suchlike, hence I would be able to resume as moderator very easily.
English skills
My English skills are good enough to communicate with non-German-speaking people. I've recently become a translator again and I'll start translating German-language texts into English and vice versa as I did in the past. Furthermore, I was responsible for translating important announcements and threads around the topic of "trading" and "scam" into English, for example this

Closing words
I'm honestly missing the old times, I have to admit that at this point. Corresponding to it, I'd like to mention following quote by Arthur Schopenhauer: "Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things." In conclusion, I hope that administration is not resentful all that much with regard to my aforementioned gaffe. Thanks for your attention.
With best regards,
Pyro
