tOo mAnY hA sOrRy dOoD yOu nOt gEtTiNg iT

no other words then a big

I think you would make a good HA

was cool and nice in team speak

[Insert the same criticism I put on Jim's application]

every sit with a player you hate , such as me and the staff get to ask you something you ignore him or elither tell him just ban him when the player is correct , just like last times when i was in a sit ( befour i got banned ofc) you were like *no i dont know* , *just ban him already* ,*leave and ignore us*
i dont think you deserve it at all

you are also power hungry if you remember last time you told me to sell my doors to try to nuke ( even tho you failed)

great sa deserves ha

I don't see you fit for this position, even before .Uzi had arrived onto the Head Administration team we were and still are not having any issues with running the current team, you are doing a fine job as a Super Administrator but I still have issues with you even then, here's a few of my issues:

Issue number one:

Your emotions cloud your judgement, whether it be intentional or not; for example your punishments against certain members who have a certain gang name seem to be a lot more excessive compared to others who could genuinely be doing worse. Very recently you banned "Dady" as he is mostly known as, for an issue that took place on a Discord. You banned him for a month on SSRP, I do not know the full story but from what I am hearing from a lot of people who are associated with him and others who are not, this is what seems to be the case and that's not okay.

Issue number two:

You bulk train staff members, a recurring issue with the people who are trained by you is, they recieve a lot more complaints than other staff members, what's more over very simple things that they should have known from the very beginning, this is alarming that you could be missing such things when training a Super Admin. You need to slow down and start doing it one by one.

Issue number three:

It seems to take you a very long time to realise you are making a mistake, a recent example of this would be when you were mass restarting the map on server one over a client sided issue, which took you nearly a week to realise it was so. I'm really, really concerned as to how it took you so long to figure out, or why you thought restarting the map a second or third time would not only fix it but why you didn't contact a higher up asking about it. We had to come to you.


There is a lot of other issues I have with you but I don't think it is fair to state them publically on the forums for your sake and would rather discuss it in the meeting.

I'll write a full-on criticism seeing as I've unearthed some new things that are very detrimental to your application (Oh shit, here we go again.)

First of all, I want to address something that I honestly don't think you ever got when I talked to you while I was still Super Admin. It's become somewhat of a meme at this point, but I think you're missing the point; independence. You see, what I mean by "independence" is you need to be independent enough to the point where you don't need to rely on other staff members to call you out when you do something wrong.

I've found that there have been numerous incidents where you have done things that - clearly - are wrong and is not to be expected of a lead team member, especially one that has experience as a lead team member on multiple servers. These errors include, but are not limited to, mass-resetting the map of a server, talking shit about members of the community and the community of ZARP as a whole to other Discord communities, training people in bulk - ultimately causing staff members to miss specific points^[1]. Additionally, you are failing to maintain an objective view when it comes to people you dislike.


Second, I think you've got your values a bit confused. To me, it seems like you - a lead team member - choose to focus more on the tasks of an administrator or moderator. This is another thing that held you back from getting SA and if I don't see any indication that you're going out of your way to do more difficult lead team tasks I don't think it's a good idea that you advance to HA just yet. This is something I think you can improve upon easily, though. You just need to focus more on keeping the staff in check rather than the community members.


Third and lastly, it's evident to me that you have members in the community that you don't get along with and they, unfortunately, do see more severe punishments due to that fact. It seems to be a recurring issue that you let your emotions get intertwined with your verdicts and I believe that this is the LAST quality I'd want in a head administrator. I can't ignore the fact that I have seen times on TeamSpeak and other platforms where you've let your emotions slip out and ultimately control you to the point where it can't be good for the server.^[2]


Anyhow, good luck I suppose. I don't know if you can ever become HA on SSRP if you choose to ignore all my criticism so it really is in your best interest to follow them and improve on yourself a lot. Please keep in mind that I might edit this later on with more accurate criticisms as I haven't yet looked over my post to see if everything makes sense. Thanks.


<sup>[1] We can both agree that this happens, you do a good job, but I've seen first-hand that you get ahead of yourself and miss some crucial things while training new staff.

[2] This is a criticism I've been meaning to give you ever since you applied for Super Admin the first time but I figured it was better to maintain a good relationship with you rather than ruin it and create a bad dynamic between the two of us. That being said, I hope you're willing to accept this criticism and improve upon it rather than allow my predicament to become true.</sup>

You literally never fucking talk, I get on from time to time, and whenever you're active, you're walking around the server not even speaking to anybody and in complete silence, or you're just sitting in spawn turning left to right dead staring at people while silent... it's creepy... very creepy, you spook me you dirty old man. I'll go neutral.

Care to give some examples? (Apart from dady since you are yet to hear the actual reason behind his ban).

I'm not even sure where you got this from? Before making the decision of revoking dady's access from the SSRP servers I was on TeamSpeak with both Jack and .uzi and I have told them what incident took place (on two ZARP services - SSRP and TeamSpeak) and consulted with them especially with Jack about the recent warning by himself saying: "Targeted Harassment - Permanent Ban on next offense" The idea to ban him was mine, yes, but the reason why Jack and .uzi were there in the first place and why i decided to consult with them is so there was no biased decisions being made. I always believed that if i started doing something rather unprofessional or unfair, that the person(s) I'm discussing the issue with would speak up.

In addition: If you find it hard to believe, feel free to ask .uzi a fellow friend of yours and a Head Administrator - But before I make any "bigger" or more "impact-making" decisions I make sure to consult with another member (or even better members) of the staff/lead team just so there are no, as i already said, biased decision being made. And on most occasions I'd message him even when he was an Administrator as he always replied to messages rather quickly and always gave in an constructive opinion about most situations/issues.

If you'd like to hear why he was banned, you have me on Steam.

Not many people in the Lead Team take the task of training new or promoted staff members as it usually requires a lot of time. I, actually, find great enjoyment in doing so! I always take my time when training staff, i go through the smallest points to the most obvious ones, i make sure to follow the OneNote and even add in more stuff I know than the Training Guide has to offer, i do my trainings with care and always make sure to say: "Do you have any questions" after I covered each section of the training e.g. F1 Menu; F6 Menu; Commands, etc - Giving a chance to people to ask questions during the training over 15 times! And even at the end i tell ask them again if they have anything to say or ask me before i end the training and not only that but I make sure to provide them with the command guide which I've made which contains: Commands, Important Moderator/Administrator notices and links of relevance. I'd not like to blame it on the people I've trained but most just find trainings boring, they "sleep" during them as they are keen to finally start their new adventure on SSRP as a Moderator/Administrator but then, when they need something I've obviously pointed out in the training, maybe even on multiple occasions - That's when they realize their mistake(s).

I'd like you to attend one of my or even better, multiple trainings, just so i can prove to you that i train everyone the same way, in full detail, with care and caution. I find it rather, sad, to say the least that this is one of my "negative" points apparently.

I am well aware of this, and i know it can not be justified, but - I was, at the time, dealing with some extreme IRL issues and I'm not quite certain if this was before or after i took an inactivity, i wasn't in the best mood nor thinking straight and that lead to this situation which i fully agree is very stupid and ridiculous. I had faith enough in one higher-up and shared what the issue was as I did not want what happened to spread around the community as most things here do. Hopefully you can understand.

I messaged you over Steam as I'd like to know these possible issue which i could work on.

Some people might not understand but this is something i joke with Rick on occasions.
