I have some advice for anyone who is thinking of running for moderator. When writing your speeches, think about this: (You don't neccessarily have to put in in your speech!)
1) Why should you be a moderator? How will it benefit the server?
2) How long have you been on the server? Loyalty is also a plus
3) How do you respond to grief? Even if your best friend was griefing?
4) If you were someone else (Say, example123) would you vote for yourself? (Would example123 vote for Survivorduck/Duckii9487?)
Hope this helps ^_^

Election Speech
December 03, 2011
============================Mod Election Speech=========================
Hello Edge of the Blade players! My name in Minecraft is Svinnik, many of you may have seen me online. I am running for moderator because I believe my skills can be helpful to all of you. I have had over 1 year total of moderator/admin experience. Moderating the biggest of the scratch servers! For 6 months I moderated Scratchia, our largest and most successful server. I have moderated Phoenix Survival for an equally long time, and have had a lot of experience in moderating.
I am rather new to your world of Edge of the Blade, but that is because I am loyal. Phoenix Survival for awhile was a boomtown, and it was a full time job and I never left my post. Now that Phoenix is dying down, I am looking for new possibilities. I have 5 hours worth of playtime in the last two days, and that number will continue to increase over the fun time I shall have on your server.
Griefing is every admins worst fear. There are many forms of griefing such as stealing, TNT, lava, water, and PvP or spawnkilling. All are equally bad when breaking the rules. I have had 3 bans on griefers, and for those griefers sakes, I shall not reveal names. When it comes to griefers, what I first do (if the jail plugin is installed) is jail all people who were online at the time. Then I use a tracking plugin to locate who the griefer was. When I am ready, I ban the griefer. For a first offence minor griefing, I would give that person one month. But a second offence is always a perma-ban. I know Duckii brought up the subject of if my best friend was griefing. Well guess what, one ban I didn't talk about, a fourth ban, is on my brother for greifing. I acted the same way with my brother as I would have any other person.
If I was somebody else, I probably would not vote for myself. I know that I am new, and if you have never heard of me before, you would want players with more playtime on your server who know the rules well, and I completely understand this, which is why if I lose, I can understand why. I think that come next elections though, I should know the rules enough to become a moderator and help out Edge of the Blade in it's quest for a new moderator.

Greetings fellow "Edge of the Blade" players,
For those of you who don't know, I'm Ekaj35. (Yes imnotbob, that is me ) I would love to be a moderator on "Edge of the Blade". The community and the personalities of the players are great. Even with a cheerful server like this one, there are many bad players who break rules and are disrespectful. If I were a moderator, I would always confront rule breakers. If they break a rule, depending on how strict the rule is, and how much damage the player has done, I would either give them a warning, or if a ban. I have been on the server since the beginning. Along with this server, I have been on SunriseMoon's previous server and helped out there too. I have been a moderator/admin 3 times before and I know a lot about moderating. I hate griefers, for me, griefing would mean ban, if it was a lot of damage then perm ban, if not then temp ban. Even if my best of all friends griefed the server, I would of course, stay loyal and ban him. I hope everyone considers me being a moderator because I have had a great time with everyone on the server!
