Languages I speak:
English, some French and Spanish and a little bit of Irish Gaelic.
Someone new joins the server, explain how you would show them how to Surf for the first time:
First, I would explain to the new player how they should not hold their forward key when they are surfing or they will just go down, and to only use the keys to go left and right, using the key closest to the ramp in order to push into it and go along. I would then explain to the player that if there are ledges (excluding the start area), then they can bhop in order to gain speed, and explain to them how to bhop using the sideways keys and facing into the direction of the key they are pushing.
Next, I would send them a link to a surfing tutorial, for example this one:
(Just a video I found which is pretty useful, nothing I made or anything)
I would also tell the user that if they press F3, then they are able to switch their play style in order to make it easier, harder or more interesting to surf the map.
Finally, I would mention to the user that, if they haven't already, they should check the rules to ensure they do not end up breaking any.
Explain what you would do if someone was Text/Mic Spamming:
If someone were text / mic spamming, I would first of all ask them to stop, and tell them that if they continue then they will be chat muted / voice muted. If they then continued, I would mute them for a little while (about 1 - 3 minutes). If, after being unmuted, they continued, then I would give them another mute, this time a longer one, and also give them a warning. If it kept on going, they would just end up ticking up more warns and longer mutes until eventually they either stop or are removed from the server based on their number of warns.
Explain how you would deal with someone using an exploit on the server:
If someone were using an exploit on the server, I would first of all just ask them to stop, and remind them that it is against the rules to exploit. If they did not stop exploiting, I would kick them and tell them that more serious action would be taken if they continued. If they came back onto the server and continued to exploit, I would warn them and message an admin+ on steam or contact them in some other way in order to inform them of the situation so that if it continued to happen, the user could be banned for constantly exploiting.
Why I should be chosen:
I think that I should be chosen for the position as a Surf Moderator because, for a start, I am a very experienced and quite trusted member of the community, in my positions as TTT Super Admin, SSRP Admin, Deathrun Admin, Bhop Admin and Teamspeak Staff. I try to play Surf quite a lot (I always try to get well over the requirement of 2 hours), and I the team is still relatively small, and so there is a lot of time where there are no staff members online who can do anything when people decide to micspam, text spam or just generally break any of the rules of Surf. I try to help out as much as I can as a user, and I believe that I will be able to use my trust and experience from other ZARP servers in order to help make Surf a better place for all of the users.
Just before I get a bunch of replies saying that I should be focusing on one server or people saying that I shouldn't try to go for staff on every server, I was told by multiple people that I should apply for Surf, which is one of the reasons for why I applied.
Thank you for reading my application, and any constructive feedback / criticism is more than welcome.

I think you should focus on the ranks you have already got instead of going for all ranks on all servers
If he is able to get his activity on all of the servers he has a rank on, and contributes to them all, then whats the problem with him going for them ??

A lot of people on the current team get their "2 hours" in around 1 or 2 days then don't play again for the rest of the week, will you be one of those people? Also please explain your gametrackers on other servers as there are 2-3 day gaps sometimes and I'm wondering if that's from you being overly stressed by going for all of these positions or if you were doing something else.

Thanks!
The gaps in my gametracker are simply days where I didn't play because either I had something important to attend to or because I just didn't want to play on Surf on that particular day. Some of the gaps are also when I didn't play until I either a) completed a map or b) the map changed, so the time wasn't logged (this isn't very often though)

You look like a nice guy and you have decent activity but I don't know if you will keep that when getting staff, I'm fine if you get that activity consistent but I'm afraid, you have staff position on alot of the servers now.
Good luck!

I shouldn't necessarily speak here (I have only played Surf for 5 minutes) but if you get enough activity on the server then I see no reason for you not to be mod.

Thanks for applying for staff at ZARP Surf! During our weekly staff meeting your application, question answers, game trackers and in-game attitude are checked and then the staff team votes on your application.
Congratulations!
The staff team has voted to accept your application, which means you’re now a part of the ZARP Surf staff team.
Before you get started, a staff member will help train you on the server and get you setup with your new rank.
There’s a weekly staff meeting for the server every Friday at 8PM GMT, which is held on the ZARP Teamspeak server (IP: ts.zarpgaming.com). You now get a vote on the new staff members and we’ll keep you up to date with new events and server updates at the meeting.
