catsoftenZyrlActually, contrary to popular belief, not every server do/does. Because if that sentence was true, then we'll have to argue about where all of these moderators are coming from if there are no servers that accepts people without experience.
The thing is, experience with moderating is definitely a good thing that could make your application flashier, but more than that, it's easy enough for us to tell if a person is being sincere and/or what kind of attitude they have when they are applying. Even the most experienced moderator would probably fail if they gave anyone a half-assed application.
We simply pick people who does seem like they do want to be here and would actually put in effort.
It does make you look better in applications, but I have personally never seen one that doesn't ask. And whenever I do apply (partly because I have nothing else to do) I of course say no experience, they always reply "lack of experience".PolarGalaxyMC
Denied for lack of detail and no experience.
So I don't know what to do.
I can and will acknowledge that most if not all of the server recruitment threads would ask if a person has had experience in moderating. However, with your reasoning of "not having anything better to do" coupled with a sub-par application with no experience, it would be easy to get declined. However, if you had shown enthusiasm in your application and answered in a detailed fashion, you could have been considered.
Now, even if you had given a detailed explanation and a good reason to join the server that would not make any owner think twice, and I repeat, boredom as a reasoning could easily be construed as someone who would just leave once they find the job too taxing-- or found a different distraction (as it only appears to owners or recruiters that you are applying not because you want to stay and help but only to get distracted for a few hours), and you STILL get declined. You could do the following: (a) join the community and start being a part of it and reapply at a later date after feeling as though you've made connections with the people in it; (b) talk to the owner/recruitment staff personally and ask for a more detailed feedback as to why you were declined and converse with them to see if you can convince them otherwise and let you in.
If you have done anything from the above after being declined instead, then I'm sure at least one of us would have heard you out and given you a chance based on what conversation may happen.
