How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator: As a current administrator, and previous SSRP Head Administrator, I've had a lot of time to contribute going to this position. My time as an administrator has been a fun one, but also I've done a lot of work in and behind the scenes in regards to dealing with staff and players. I fully understand what is expected from a Super Administrator and each time I've been promoted to the rank I've always tried my hardest to fulfill my responsibilities and surpass what is expected of a lead team member. I have a lot of previous high ranking positions, and each I've learned a lesson or multiple lessons from each position. This has all encompassed me as an applicant and I feel I have more than enough experience as a staff member, knowledge of the position, and the willpower and knowledge necessary to carry out the job.

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want): What makes me not only a good candidate, but a great one, would be the fact that in terms of experience I believe I'm the most fit, that I've done a lot of work to deserve the promotion, and also that I've maintained and built new and old friendships and relationships throughout the community that would make me a great choice.

In terms of experience, I've held the previous positions/ranks:

- SSRP Head Admin
- BHOP Owner
- TS3 Head Admin
- Forum Administrator
- TTT Head Admin
- Minecraft Head Admin
- FP Surf Super Admin
- Deathrun Super Admin
- CSGO 1v1 Admin

All of these positions show that I've done a great job in the past to be promoted or appointed to them, but also that I have the knowledge, maturity, tenacity, and ability to not only do my job as a Super Administrator, but excel at it.

In terms of the work I've done so far as an Administrator, it consists of using my position over three medians:

Forums

On the forums, using my SSRP position I've dealt with a lot of report abuses, appeals, and in general staying in contact and communicating with the SSRP Community. I feel it's not only necessary, but imperative for a lead team member to stay in touch with those in the community to not only display transparency but as a gesture of initiative.

In-Game

In game is where I've done and continue to do the majority of my work obviously. Whether it be dealing with rulebreakers that I've caught by playing, spectating, or through F1 sits. I've always made sure my priorities were in check when playing SSRP. Roleplaying is all good and fun, but if people need help it's important to be able to distinguish if it's more important to deal with them or continue roleplaying, and to me the choice is obvious. It's not all players though, as a lead team member you're expected to have good communication skills so as to be able to deal not only with players but with staff. As an Admin I've given advice to the staff, guided them to help with the F1's, and even reported a few for abuse of powers, or a numerous amounts of rulebreaks.

Teamspeak

As I mentioned before It's imperative that not only as a staff, but as a lead team member you stay active throughout the community to display a good initiative to keep in touch but also for transparency. On Teamspeak, I speak with the staff team openly and lead team regularly. I believe that without a good connection to the staff team there's no point in being on it, most of the day I'm on teamspeak and am able to deal with people or report them. This would be a great asset if promoted to Super Administrator as I'd have the ability to handle situations which arise in times where there is nobody else available as easy as me due to my timezone.


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:

A situation as an administrator which I felt was an obstacle in where I had to contact a lead team member isn't all that uncommon actually. Due to my timezone there's usually situations which call for a lead team member, such as suspected cheaters where there isn't anyone to deal with them or anti-cheat them to clear up any suspicions. This is a regular occurrence for me as I often find myself messaging lead team members if they're available at the time to come on to anti-cheat someone, where the answer is no most of the time. As a Super Administrator I'd be able to deal with these just as I've done in the past and it would be a convenience to the entire server at these times.

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:

First, we'll assume this is an abuse report through the forums. I'd respond 'Handling' or something similar, and proceed to review the accused staff member's name, the story, and the evidence. If there was a clear connection between both story and evidence, let's say he RDM'd another player. If this was the staff members first offense, I'd state on the thread something like this:

However, if this was something that showcases a repeated behavior by said staff member and they've been punished with an official warning before for this, I'd respond differently, like this:

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'd review the reason of the ban, the length, and who the admin and banned user are. I'd contact the staff member and attempt to speak to them hopefully over teamspeak of possible, but steam as a second resort.

I'd ask them exactly what the situation was and what the player did to deserve the ban, then let the staff member know that I felt that the length was a bit too much. In most cases, the staff member would agree that they could've been a bit more lenient and hopefully convince them to lower their ban. If for some reason they're very aggressive or defensive over their ban, I'd attempt to contact a Head Administrator and explain the situation as they have the ability to overrule punishments.

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?

First I'd attempt to examine the sit from a distance via spectating them or being cloaked and watching noclipped. Once I identify what the staff member is struggling with, I'd step in and deal with the situation and afterwards speak to the staff member about what I believe they could have done differently and give them constructive criticism.

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'd really approach it from the perspective of dealing with most F1's. I'd take both parties sides/stories separately and then move them in to discuss it together. If it was deemed that one of the staff was in the wrong, or both of them were, I'd speak to them, let them know what they did wrong, and if possible take it to the lead team meeting. If not, I'd clear up the accusations and help them work it out between themselves. I'd let them know that grudges aren't acceptable as all staff need to be able to effectively communicate with each other for doing their jobs.

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?

If I assume this was in administrator chat, I'd need to consider a lot of things. Such as, is the staff member causing this disturbance alone? Are their more than one person causing problems? Is the staff member un-hinged? I'd attempt to calm things down by speaking to them privately and letting them know to drop the shit in game. Like most disputes, I'd attempt to calm both parties down and get both sides of it. If it was a one sided thing where one staff was causing problems, obviously I'd have to consider if this was the first time they've done something like this, or the opposite, perhaps it's been a long term thing where they've had problems like this. If it was, I'd let them know this isn't the first time they've been disrespecting other staff or causing drama in game, and would take it to the lead team meeting if necessary.

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?

Obviously the main thing staff are there to do are to stop users causing mass disturbances or disturbances in general. Although on the extreme side, if one of our own staff members are doing this they're obviously completely disrespecting their position and misrepresenting the staff team. If it was something I'd immediately have to handle, I'd attempt to get in contact with a Head Administrator to dish out an emergency demotion. However, if the staff member was breaking rules like NLR, etc. then I'd record them doing so then immediately speak to them if I was unable to stop them in the act, that is. I'd let them know what rule they broke, and to ensure they don't do it again.
