What is your age: 20

What rank are you applying for (Helper or Moderator):  @Staff and @Discord Moderator

What can you do to help the Discord community: I can provide some early assistance to the Discord. Knowing that it has a userbase of ~4,200 it's always nice to have someone "specialized" on the platform with abilities to mantain or improve the server culture.

Why you want to help the Discord community: I dislike being reactive in terms of moderation, so I find motivation in softer/less 'aggresive' methods to reduce the perceived impact on the userbase and help decrease friction on staff. I've found some key topics and actions that might improve the quality of the chat or at least help in terms of engagement, so I'm going to share those with the quartet if everything goes well

Other: Someone ask Dink for permissions so I can see the server analytics aaaaaa

What: I’m not sure what you mean by early assistance, time or are you referring to the proactive instead of reactive bit? 

Why: An argument can be made that deleting abused threads, such as health-and-wellness, reduces impact and friction. Similarly the restricted roles accomplish this by keeping users out of certain channels that they normally might troll or post off topic in. What are your thoughts on these measures and how they interact with the discord moderation guidelines and rules?
