How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:
Throughout my time as an administrator, I have felt like a strong asset towards the team. In this time, I have learnt multiple things, such as refinings of my knowledge of the rules, how to handle appeals and reports, and the exact details of being staff. I have thoroughly looked over the ethos and learned the correct punishments for every situation and whether or not punishment would need to be used.
In my time as staff, I have built back my good relationship with the staff team and have proven myself to be adept at handling situations. I am incredibly active throughout most of the community, being one of the most active posters on the forums and being an avid Bhop player. I also show activity on TeamSpeak, so I would be a strong asset in building the relationships of separate staff teams, so they can effectively and efficiently work together.
I am available for every meeting, report, appeal, staff incident; you name it, I can do it.
What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want):
First of all, I'm aware there are some rather obvious criticisms to be made, so I feel like it's best to address those first.
Recent incident/resignation
This was a rather out-of-character incident for me, in which I displayed a very poor attitude towards Chuteuk, which ended up in me being banned from the meeting and making a resignation post, which I deleted 5 minutes later as I realised I was being unreasonable and needed some time to think over my actions.
This was spurred on by a variety of factors, which I'll list here:
- I decided to be the one to take on the task of F1s during the meetings, of which there was a consistent stream, on top of the fact that there were 5 or 6 unhandled as the meeting started.
- While I did this, I also decided to do polls for applications during the meeting.
- I also contributed to my normal extent during the meeting, which many people can confirm is a lot of contribution.
- I also argued against what I thought at the time was a false denial with incorrect facts being provided, which obviously pushed me over the edge as I'm rather passionate about ensuring everyone gets a fair chance.
I have already apologised personally to Chuteuk, and if you were within the meeting and you feel like I owe you an apology, just let me know.
To sum it up, I took on too much at once, expecting I'd be able to handle it all, when it was apparent I couldn't. The resignation came out of a place of stress and a failure to think straight, which is rather inconsistent with my overall character. My resignations usually come out of "nowhere", however this came with a legitimate reason which I've resolved.
I'd like to one thing clear, however; I actually feel comfortable and settled in with ZARP now, and I have no where to actually leave to, so my place in the community is secure. I've spoken to Raeker about this before:
I don't plan on resigning for a long, long time.
As more criticisms come up, I'll address them one by one.
I'd rather not go over my strengths in massive detail as one would usually do on a Super Admin application, as I'd rather let my effort put in and my overall work speak for itself. My strengths have been very adequately displayed on other servers and throughout the community at large. If you'd like a description of said strengths, contact me and I'll do my best to illustrate these properly.
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:
While I was administrator, there was a blatant hacker. He had been advertising hacking software, and it was very obvious that he was hacking to mass RDM. However, due to the nature of the hacking policy, there was nothing I could've done until a lead team member came on to anticheat them. Had I been super administrator, I would've been able to prevent this on the spot and prevent them from harming any more of the gameplay of innocent players.
Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
Firstly, I would review the report and check any potential proof that is provided extensively. If he was using the template, I would respond with this:
I will handle this. Expect a reply shortly, I will speak to the staff member in question.
After getting a full and proper understanding of the report, and speaking with the player who made the report if needed, I would bring up the allegations to the staff member in question, and begin a discussion about the report.
Depending on whether or not the reporter or not has valid proof, I will come to a conclusion. If he has no proof, and the staff member denies what happens, then I will have to deny the report. However, if the staff member admits to it, I will accept it but probably not bring it up extensively, as it shows honesty and a desire to improve, therefore punishment would not be needed. In the situation that the staff member denies the claims but the proof shows otherwise, I would respond with this:
The staff member's actions here were entirely unacceptable, and I will do my best to prevent this from happening again. This will be brought up in the lead team meeting.
:accepted:
First, before approaching the staff member, I would make sure I have a clear mindset and my goals are laid out clearly. Then, I would attempt to speak to the staff member on Teamspeak, for ease of communication. If they were unable to use Teamspeak for whatever reason, I would either speak to them in-game or on Steam. I would explain to them that punishments should not be too harsh, and that our goal as a staff team is to give everyone the best experience on the server. I would then go over the Ethos with the staff member in question, and either reduce the length of or remove the ban.
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?
I would spectate this situation, and see how they handle the situation. If they make mistakes, I would message them, detailing the mistakes they made and how to correct them. I would guide them through the situation and do whatever I can to help without directly handling the situation myself. If the situation gets out of hand, I would notify them via admin chat and deal with it.
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?
As this is a staff on staff situation, it must be handled with the utmost sensitivity and care.
I would separately speak to the accusing party first, and get their side of the story. I would do the same with the accused party and give each story an equal sitting. I would then compare both stories, determine whether or not any wrongdoings took place, and deal with any rule breaks. If a rule was broken, I would speak to the staff member who broke the rule and correct them on this. If no rule was broken, I would tell the accusing staff member that this was a misunderstanding and end it there.
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?
In this situation, you have to eliminate the problem at its source.
Of course, disrespect and non-peaceful discussions within the staff team are unacceptable, so I would approach the person who provoked the argument/started the disrespect first, and tell them to lay off, as it damages the image of the staff team, and of course can be hurtful to the other person. Anyone else who was engaging in disrespectful/argumentative behaviour would be told the same thing. Any further arguments or disrespect would be brought up at the lead team meeting, as it is an unacceptable attitude for staff to hold against each other.
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?
In this situation, the first course of action would be to stop them in the act.
From there, I can give them a calm but stern talking to about how this type of behaviour is entirely unacceptable and affects everyone's enjoyment of the server. I would then try to speak to them on Teamspeak afterwards, and gather proof to bring up in the LTM if necessary. If it continued to the point of the staff member majorly disrupting everyone's experience, I would take their powers away from them until the meeting.
Thank you for reading. I would greatly appreciate any constructive feedback where applicable, and if there are any errors within my application just let me know.
