How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a Super Administrator:
In my time as an admin, I have tried to follow the staff ethos as best I can and I have carefully ensured that I always punish people not based on my own opinion on that person, but on what they truly deserve for the rulebreak that they have made, making my decision based on the severity of what they have done combined with how many recent punishments they have, depending on what those recent punishments are for. In my time as an Admin, I have tried my hardest to help people as far as I can in order to ensure that they have the best possible experience on the server, and being a Super Admin would just make me want to do so more, and would make me even further feel inclined to help the server

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team?:
I believe that as a Super Admin, I would be able to continue helping people on the server, but go over more to give the best possible experience to ensure that the lower staff are not abusing their powers and to ensure that all staff members are trained properly and thoroughly without any gaps in their training leading to potential issues on the server.
Whenever I do notice that members of the staff team, no matter their rank, are abusing, I always ensure to get some form of evidence for it and go to the correct person so that it is resolved and the staff member does not continue to abuse their powers or cause a problem on the server.
I am constantly active on the server, and if I am not on and someone requests staff assistance on one of the servers, I always try to hop on as quickly as I can, or, if I am too busy to come online, find someone else in the staff team who is able to.
I always do my best to go above and beyond for the server, and I believe that I would make a good addition to the Bhop Lead Team as a Super Admin to pull the server and the staff team to be even better than it is currently
I am also very experienced and trusted in Lead Team positions, as I am also a Super Admin on TTT, and also the Server Owner of the Prophunt server, and I believe that I will be able to bring over all of this experience and trust over to Bhop in order to greatly benefit and contribute to the server.

Explain a situation as an administrator you encountered that was an obstacle that required the help of a lead team member but you had to work around it when no lead team member was available:
As an Admin, there have been a few issues that I have encountered which required the assistance of a Lead Team member, and one of these scenarios was myself and a couple of other staff members strongly suspected someone of hacking, but there was no member of the Lead Team that was able to be contacted at the time. I spoke with the user and asked them about whether or not they were in fact hacking, and they told me that they were in fact hacking, telling me they thought it was allowed on the server. I notified them that we did not allow hacking, telling them that they should disable them immediately or they would in fact be banned from the server. The user then apologised to me for it and left the server, leading to no further issues.

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
If someone made an abuse report against a staff member (and that staff member were an Admin or below, if it were another Lead Team member, I would link it to a HA+), I would first of all look over their story to see what they say happened. If the story does not actually tell anything that the staff member did wrong, I would deny the report for the reason that the staff member did nothing wrong. If the story did say that the staff member did something wrong, I would ensure that the evidence would be sufficient to prove that the staff member had in fact done something wrong. If the evidence were not sufficient, I would ask the staff member in question if they did do what they had been accused of, and if they denied that they did it, I would deny the appeal for a lack of evidence. If the staff member did not deny that they had done something wrong and had not had an official warning, I would thank them for being honest and explain to them not to do it again and go over the rules with them to ensure that they understand them all fully and bring it up in the following Lead Team meeting. If the evidence was sufficient and the staff member did not have an official warning (and they hadn't done something overly bad, such as mass banning players), I would talk to them about it and go over the rules and staff ethos with them to ensure they know what the rules are and how they should be handling situations. If the player did have an official warning (or they did something really bad such as mass banning players), I would discuss it at the following Lead Team meeting to decide on what the punishment for the staff member would be.

If accepting the report, I would reply with the following:



If denying the report, I would reply with the following:



Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member bans a user for an excessive amount of time, how do you approach the staff member to ensure that everyone is treated fairly?
If a staff member banned a user for an excessive amount of time (for example, permanently banning someone for something slight such as disrespect), I would make sure that the player did not have enough recent warnings to mean that they were due a ban, and if not then I would speak with the staff member who issued the ban and ask them why they banned the player, and why they banned them for such a long time. If the staff member did not give a legitimate reason to ban them for such a long time, I would go over the rules and the staff ethos with them to ensure that something similar did not happen again, and then bring it up in the following Lead Team meeting to decide if further action should be taken.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member is dealing with a user but is struggling to do so in an appropriate manner. How would you resolve the situation?
If a staff member were struggling to deal with a user in an appropriate manner, I would ask the staff member in admin chat or a private message what the problem with the user is. I would speak with the staff member and ask them to try to keep calm and deal with the user as they should. If the staff member continued to struggle, I would ask them if they wanted my help in dealing with the situation and then try myself to resolve the issue, but I would also speak with the staff member about how important it is for them to deal with users calmly and appropriately to ensure that another similar situation did not arise again.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member accuses another staff member of breaking rules, how would you help resolve the situation?
I would first of all ask the staff member making the report their side of the story and listen to what they have to say. I would then ask them if they have any evidence to support their claims. If the staff member had no evidence, I would ask the staff member they reported if this did in fact happen. If the staff member denied it, I would tell the staff member making the report that if something did happen again, to ensure that they gather some form of evidence to show what the staff member has done wrong. If the staff member being reported did not deny what they had done, I would speak to them about what they had done and go over the rules with them to ensure that they fully understand them and that nothing similar would happen with them again, and bring it up in the following Lead Team meeting to decide if further action would be taken.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member acts in a disrespectful manner towards another staff member and or sparks and argument within the staff team. How do you resolve the situation?
If an argument were to spark within the staff team, I would go to all of the members involved and ask each of them in turn what had happened. I would try to find out what happened between them all and explain to them all how bad it looks for the staff team to argue with each other, and the issues that it could cause for the server, as it could mean that staff members are not cooperating properly and could start to try to get each other in trouble or try to make it look like other staff member were abusing in order to get them demoted. I would keep an eye on all of the staff members involved in the argument, and if something were to arise between them again, then I would bring it up in the following Lead Team meeting in order to decide what could be done to prevent further arguments in the staff team.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
You spot a staff member breaking rules to the point of harming other users, how do you approach the staff member?
I would speak to the staff member about what was going on, and ask them exactly what they were doing. I would explain to the staff member the staff ethos very carefully and go through the rules with them to make sure they know what they were doing wrong. I would also then bring it up at the following Lead Team meeting to decide whether any further action would be taken, and mention it to a Head Admin (if it were not close to the next meeting), so that something could be done about it if it continued before the meeting and could be stopped before going too far and further harming the server.

Thank you for reading my application! Any feedback or constructive criticism is more than welcome!

You need to calm down with the ranks mah dude

You are going for positions you lack dedication to, in my opinion you should focus on Prop Hunt and getting it to the best of your ability. I'd also like you see you interact more in the meetings and attend them more.

Good luck!

All of these staff positions man, it's hilarious!

Just gonna point out here, this week was the first meeting you properly attended, and I have attended pretty much every Bhop meeting since getting staff.
Also, you say I lack "dedication" to the server, yet there is absolutely nothing wrong with my activity or anything, so I would just like to you to explain to me where you get the fact that I am not dedicated from.

You have also said I should focus on Prop Hunt, but the launch of PH has been incredibly successful. We have spent the past week ensuring that everything there was running smoothly, and fixing all of the bugs, so everything is now running well, and I do not need to focus immense amounts of my time there anymore. I still have a lot of spare time even with everything that I am already doing, so really this argument is kind of invalid (especially coming from someone who used to be a Head Admin on almost every server, whilst being Owner on one. Don't go being hypocritical now man)

Mate trust me focus on the servers u are owner and lead team on
Anyways good luck

TheXnator wrote: Well umm, it isn't hard to sit in the meetings and say yes and no, attending them is even easier!

tbh TheXnator from my opinion you need 2 focus on the PropHunt server cause there are sometimes buggs on it so firts fix that and Make it the best Server from the prop hunt server( almost already in my opinion)

To the people saying I need to fix bugs on Prop Hunt:


If there are bugs, go and report them, there are currently no reported bugs which aren't fixed

TheXnator wrote:
Well I won't state in meeting situations, as that would be NDA, however if you go back and read my previous statement, it's also to do with your activity in the meetings. I don't really see you suggesting much on the forums either. That's not necessary, but you should offer something more to a server than the sake of having the position for having the position when someone else could use it to benefit the server on a staff level, creative level, and content level.

Dedication is Consistency, I don't see you being consistence in meeting attendance nor do I see it in your interest for the server in general.
TheXnator wrote:
If your server is gaining quickly in popularity, all the more reason you need to spend more time keeping track of the server and working on improving it. Spending less time would be a big mistake.

TheXnator wrote:
You comparing yourself to others with having a lot of staff ranks isn't an argument, it's most definitely an excuse. There's also been issues with your activity recently on Deathrun and TTT.



Really?

Goes to meetings

TheXnator wrote: Or just go on the server, don't time farm keep playing and you will EASILY find them <3

Onion wrote: Great reason to support someone for super admin, out of curiosity do you anything else to use as support? It's fine if you don't I was just wondering.

TheXnator wrote:
You say you're dedicated but you only have 182 minutes of gametime this week.

Better candidates

1.) Once again, this week was the first meeting you attended properly, I do give opinions and input in most of the meetings.

2.) Again, I have attended every meeting since getting staff.

3.) I have been tracking it, and ensuring everything is going smoothly, I just don't need to constantly fix a bunch of bugs anymore, and I just need to do suggestions and ensure everything is still going well.

4.) I have been unable to connect to TTT recently, and I made a post about it, I managed to fix it yesterday. With Deathrun, I have been getting what is required, I just had lower activity when I was still working to release Prophunt, but now that is fine and I can be active on there easily.

5.) Why is what I message you on Steam relevant?

Grand Wizowd wrote:
Why would I need to timefarm on a server I own? I don't necessarily NEED any activity on there lol

Imma answer 5. Shows how much you take feedback

Great dude and great application but you just opened prophunt dude sorry but i think you should focus on prophunt ATM

TheXnator wrote: Guess that makes it easier to do it on other servers then, speaking of which if you're so dedicated to all these servers you're staff on and have great activity on all of them, why do you only have just under an hours activity this week on Deathrun.
