Staff-related


How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:

Evidently, I haven't been administrator for very long. However, where there is a current demand, I supply.

As an administrator, I have been able to contribute heavily to the management of the server. My current F1 count may be somewhat lackluster in comparison to some of the numbers I've been putting up, but what needs to be acknowledged is that I've been basing on a rather unpopulated server throughout a majority of the past 2 weeks, which hasn't left me with many options when it comes to F1s. I've completed any that I could find, however that really isn't many. I'm hoping that my past F1 counts will speak for my work towards the server, and I've been doing my best to take on extra work to compensate for my lack of F1s during these time periods.

Furthermore, I have dealt with a large amount of appeals and reports within my time as administrator, in which I did my best to include the appropriate level of detail in the response, explaining any rules broken to those who were doubtful. My work has shown both outside of the server and within 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 situation

I know the recent situation won't reflect myself in a positive light, however the way I dealt with the aftermath will. I acknowledged where I was wrong, and I didn't take it any further past the initial frustration regarding the handling of the situation, which was widely seen as rather inadequate as I was left in the dark unnecessarily, where other steps could've been taken to make things much more comfortable and less frustrating for all involved. I did my absolute best to make my apologies clear to all involved and all who reviewed the situation.

Time doesn't change anything regarding this; it's not a matter of trust which I need to build back. Some may argue that I need to prove a "change in attitude", however my attitude simply doesn't need a change in my eyes. I don't condone the actions and I've made it clear that what happened was uncharacteristic of me and simply came to the surface due to a heat of the moment instinct, in which I felt comfortable with everyone involved and made sure that they felt the same.

Arguably, select actions within said situation, in which I ensured everyone was comfortable with everything that was going on, would actually shine a positive light upon me, as I took extra steps to make sure that no one felt offended or uncomfortable regarding the whole ordeal. At the end of the day, I broke the rules of the server I was on, however it's something that was somewhat minor and in a private setting, where no one felt like they were being targeted or made to feel unwelcome.

Time as staff

To put it simply, I've been staff for around a month and a bit. Ordinarily, this would be borderline not enogh time in order for someone to acquire super admin. However, there's no point in not giving it a try.

I've demonstrated my prowess as a lead team member in my previous roles as Jailbreak Head Admin, Bhop Super Admin, and Deathrun Super Admin. Within these roles, I did a large amount of work to ensure the well-being and proper functioning of the staff team, and I properly illustrated my ability as a staff member.

Additionally, I have been SSRP administrator numerous times, and throughout those periods of time I have consistently demonstrated a level of knowledge and ability which come near unmatched by other staff members. I am not one to abuse powers, as shown by the fact that I have never received an official warning or demotion in any of my staff positions since 2015.

While there may be doubts about my dedication, I feel like my quantity of work should disprove any doubts.

I feel like my time as staff, while appearing poor on paper, shouldn't be too much of a limiting factor due to my reputation of doing a bloody good job.


As more criticisms come up, I'll address them one by one.


If it feels like I'm tooting my own horn too much, I'd have to agree honestly lmao, but that's basically what any application is about.

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:

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:


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, 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. If you'd like to speak to me on a one-to-one basis regarding reapplying immediately and my reasoning for doing so, feel free.
