How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:
I have handled many different situations already, whether it be scamming, middlemanning, or just an average f1. A lot of moderators look to me for guidance and support. Although sometimes I also ask for guidance from those that are higher than me, I feel as though I have taken on more of a leadership role and take control of situations that need it. I use my powers accordingly and thoughtfully. Some may disagree, but I only ever use my powers to the best of my abilities. More or less, being an admin has taught me how to be a leader and I have gained the trust of those within the server and those that need help ask me.

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want):
As said before, people look to me for guidance and support. They ask me about rules, what they should do in certain situation, or ask me for help in punishment if needed. People have come to me about staff reports and hackers, and reluctantly I've had to tell them to either go to a higher up or post it on the forums. Usually in hacking situations, though, I tell a higher up myself and the situation is handled. Just put simply, people come to me for advice, help, or about any situation that no one has handled.

Dedication:
I play on SSRP almost everyday. I am always helping people that need it, and put my heart into this server. I am always concerned about those online and want to help them to the best of my ability. I take what I do very seriously, and use what I have been given to the best of my abilities and with extreme fairness.

Activity:
Yes... I am very new. I know that. But even with that, I am on almost everyday and spend most of my time doing f1s or catching rule breakers. I am always within reach and can be contacted through multiple platforms. I am as active as I can be and am always here when needed. I may be new, but I do my job well and with respect.

Trust:
I know I've said this 3 times, but people come to me for guidance and support. I am always trusted to do the right thing and am trusted to help those when they ask for it, or as soon as possible. I am trusted to be fair and just in my decisions. People who know me know that they can trust me with whatever they need, even if it someone to just talk to. I have proven myself to this community. I can be trusted to do my job to the best of my ability and I have shown that through my time on this 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:
The only type of situation that I can think of is when a player had a valid report against a staff member. They came to me for assistance and asked if there was anything I could do. I told them that, even though they were a moderator, there wasn't a lot I could do myself, but I could vouch for them when talking to a higher up staff member. Unfortunately there was really nothing I could do about that situation and I had to get a higher up staff member to handle the mod.

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
I would first speak to the staff member, ask them about the situation and get their point of view. Then I would ask the accuser for evidence, if not already given. (If evidence is given upfront and it clearly shows the staff member abusing/breaking rules I would accept the report and speak to the staff member about what they should do/have done. If it is serious enough I would accept the report abuse and bring them up in a LT meeting.) After evidence is given I would speak to the staff member about what they have done, and what they should do in the future. If needed, I would bring them up in the LT meeting for an official warning/demote if an official was already given.

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?
First I would speak to the staff member, ask them why they banned the user for that amount of time and what exactly was occurring. If the staff member tells me that there was more to the situation than stated in the ban, I would update the ban with their additional reasons. If someone was banned for 3 weeks based on only 7 recents and disrespect, I would speak to the staff member about the ethos guideline and tell them that this ban is a little excessive. For actions such as that a 4 day ban seems more likely. After speaking with them about it, I would update the user's ban to a more appropriate amount of time.

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 asked for help in the situation I would tp to the staff member. There could be a number of instances of inappropriate handling.
Situation 1 (Staff member doesn't know the rule/needs help explaining the rule):
I would teleport to the staff member and ask what rule is being broken/in need of explaining. Once the rule is stated I would recite the rule and the meaning of it (if needed) to both the staff member and the user, making sure to ask if they both understand. If there are any questions I would answer them and then allow the staff member to continue their sit as they were with new knowledge.
Situation 2 (disrespect/non cooperation on the staff member's part):
I would tp to the staff memeber/watch over the sit. If things become too hostile I would intervene, asking the situation. I would ask the staff member to take a step back and calm down. If needed I would finish the sit. After the sit is completed, I would speak to the staff member about their behavior. First making sure that they are okay. If everything is well and they are just acting rude, I would ask them to change their attitude and ask them to agree to it. If they continue, I would have to bring them up in a LT meeting about their attitude, either giving them an official warning or a talking to about what they should and should not do as a ZARP staff member
Situation 3 (Staff member is overwhelmed and frustrated):
If this situation occurs it could also have a number of instances that I will not get into. But I would help the staff member to the best of my ability, making sure that they feel comfortable while doing their sit and can properly conduct it. If warnings are handed out by the staff member, I would make sure that they are valid and not stemming from the frustration.

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?
Bring both people to a roof and ask them the situation. If both members have opposing stories I would ask for evidence of the situation. If neither can prove this situation, I would have to leave it up to users with evidence to report this staff member, if they broke the rules. However, if evidence is provided and clearly shows the staff member breaking rules, I would copy the evidence into a doc (if needed) and bring up that staff member in the next meeting (if the rule break is big enough), if the meeting is not needed I would speak to the staff member and remind them of the rules, even though they should know them. I would still make LT aware of what the staff member did, but tell them that the situation has been handled and that I have spoken to the staff member.

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 an argument within the staff team. How do you resolve the situation?
Rather than handling this in game, I would much rather handle this in TS. I would ask both staff members to join me in teamspeak and ask them what's going on, making sure that both can tell their side of the story without interruption. Once both sides have been told, I would ask the staff members what exactly they want from each other, and see if we can come to an agreement. If not I would ask them to agree to disagree and not to bring things into the public eye. If needed, I would tell them to contact me on teamspeak once more, and I will speak to the both of them again. If it happens again I would speak to the disrespectful staff member and, of course, bring them up in the LT meeting. Whether or not they receive just a talking to about respect and what it means to be a staff member or an official warning is up to the severeness of the situation. (If something such as this has to be handled in game, I would do the same thing in game in the admin area so we would not be disturbed).

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 handle the staff member the same way that I would handle a user in game. I would freeze them and bring them to a roof to have a serious conversation about what they are doing. I would remind them that they are a staff member and they have to adhere to the rules just the same as everyone else. I would make them aware that I will be bringing them up in the LT meeting for an official warn, if their actions were as harmful as thought to be. If they would continue to do these actions, I would alert other LT staff members and bring the rule breaking staff member into ts for an emergency warn (if that's what it is called). If they refuse to join teamspeak or even just speak to me about this event, I would go into ts myself and speak to those that are online about an emergency demotion.

Thank you for your consideration. Please only constructive feedback. (If I missed anything or you think I should change something or could do something better within the application itself, please let me know)

The issue I see with YOU Skeleton is you yourself don't fully trust the Lead Team or just you aren't comfortable with them. As someone applying for Lead Team you should be able to respect their decisions and opinions and right now I don't think you do. Why do I think this? Well for this alone:




Personally the fact you think the Lead Team is corrupt is you being overly confident in your self. You got denied for a reason and just because you cant comprehend that does not mean they are corrupt. Before you say "Oh I didn't mean it, it was just the heat of the moment" or something along the lines of that. Don't. You said this and you meant it.
