If you want to pursue Gamemaker position and you do not feel comfortable applying for GM as of now, I agree the best approach is to solidify your position as a full time moderator and acquire more experience before making another application to GM.
When and if you do become a full moderator, you can even ask administrators to let you help them with some builds and events so that you can get the gist of it
Reading other people´s concerns, I would say it is fairly normal to make mistakes when you are a new staff member especially in your first weeks, this time around with a new staff manager I am sure you would receive a proper training
God mode everyone makes that mistake that they activate God mode (even admins make them mistake so I dont see that as something that you should be blamed for!) and I completely understand doing a staff sit with God mode in order to prevent players rdming you when you are providing assistance to a player (however to prevent people from bitching about it: activate God mode, teleport yourself into a sit room and bring the player with you)
Then you asking previous staff members for advice, nothing wrong with it either, it is actually a good thing because they might have knowledge regarding a situation you do not possess at the time, however try to ask for advice in staff chat and then ask for advice to previous staff members who are not in the staff discord, the most important thing in these situations is that you try to get different points of view and/or confirmation regarding a decision you would make. At the end of the day, if you make a mistake learn from it and it is not the end of the world
Then I do not know if you really went afk while people were micspamming, but if you feel that it is too much for you to handle or if you feel that you would not be able to distribute fair punishment, contact another staff member, use admin chat as much as possible or if there is no other staff online request for staff to come online to assist you over on discord, or in alternative you can log off and tell players in /ooc chat that they can report any rule breaking on the forums (easy!)
My vote will be a neutral to +1 (server needs moderators, and you have the basics because you were a helper, just keep in mind to ask fellow staff members for help when in doubt and to know when to take a break, and if possible while this app is up you can ask staff members to let you watch how they handle different staff sits so that you can learn from them)
