TOPIC: [TTT Super Admin] Nepgear's Application

I feel that the time I spent as an Admin, Moderator, Superadmin and Headadmin prepared me well for this position. In my time as an Admin I always tried to keep the server clear of rulebreakers and keep the fun activities on the server by interacting with the staff and the users. I had 1 abuse report against me, which didn't got handled, because the user didn't fill in the template, but I still looked into it and did listen to what the user had to say and what I could improve on in the future (read more on that here) and learned how to enforce the rule better. When someone was in need of help I always tried to help them, if it was a other staff member who struggled with a report or was it a user who didn't understand the rules of the server or the game. I even sometimes helped people writing an application for a staff member position, if they needed help. I helped choosing new staff members and even trained some of them already. All of this continued when I got the Superadmin rank roughly 1 year ago and I always tried to stay in contact with the staff team and user base, while carrying out my duties as a Superadmin and Headadmin. I feel like my past experiences might help the current staff team out and I think I would be a great asset for the team. However I had a lot of fun on the server and tried the best to support it, but I feel like I could do more for the server in the position of a SuperAdmin.










I am always helpful and friendly to other people. Since I came on the server I tried to come along with as many people as possible, with staff as well with the user base. If someone had a question I was glad to help and support the person. I even looked over the newer mods as I was a mod by myself and tried to help by difficult situations or answer question when they got some. I did the same when I got Admin, when there was a newer Admin I looked a bit over them if they had trouble whether if they should ban a person or not(as an example). I always stay calm by handling reports or when I get insulted by a user. I am always open for criticism and glad to take it so that I can improve on it, to get a better staff member.



I usually check the forum multiple times per day and post something when I got something to say, as an example I respond to staff applications with criticism or why I don't think that they are ready for the position so that they can improve on those things to maybe get the position one day. I try to get some appeals but whenever I check the forums and see a appeal it is already taken by another staff member(feels bad man). However I managed to get some appeals in the last few weeks. When I see another TTT related post where someone is asking something I try to give them an answer when there isn't already an answer. For my Teamspeak activity, I am usually every day online on Teamspeak when I am playing TTT so if someone wants to talk to me or need help in any form I can help them.



Every time when I am handling a Report I try to understand both sides. I look into every report with care and even when someone didn't gave quite a good response, something along the line's like "What lol", I try to find out why they killed/tried to kill the person if they had a good reason for it, because I had this situation way too often that people just wrote that in the response and had a valid reason for kill/try to kill the person. When a person didn't have a valid reason to kill/try to kill the person I give them a fair punishment. My report-count was quite high when I started as a moderator and at the beginning when I was an admin, but is now rather low (I think around 100), because I am online at night hours when there are barely 10 people online and nobody is rulebreaking usually.



My past experiences from leading a staff team are from owning/moderating multiple Teamspeak servers and being SA/HA on this server. I had responsibilities such as looking for new good staff member as well as looking that no one is abusing there given administrative power's or if they are nice and polite to the player base. I even had some experiences on Zarp leading and helping other staff member, as I said previously I helped newer mods and admins with decision when they needed help and that gave me experiences in helping others too.



Since I became staff I always tried to play a lot on the server. I usually get more time than 4 hours per week, but I always had at least 4 hours per week. I doubt that I can play as much as I can now, because my studies are getting harder, but I am sure I will get more than 4 hours per week.







The first scenario I can think of is when a hacker is on the server. I did not encounter that many hacker on the server, but when I encountered one I couldn't do anything due to that admins and moderator aren't allowed to punish for hacking. Normally I contacted a super admin or a head admin that they anti-cheat him and punish him for hacking, but you can't get an superadmin+ on the server all the time. When a hacker is online and he is rulebreaking, like Mass RDMing or RDMing you can punish them for that and you get rid of him pretty quick then, but when a hacker isn't rulebreaking this scenario gets a bit difficult. You can't punish him for RDM and you can't punish him for hacking, if I was a super admin I could easily anti-cheat him and punish him then.







I would look if the person who wrote the abuse report did fill in the template correctly and if they didn't tell them that they have to fill in the template. After they did all of that I would post that I am handling this abuse report that other staff members know that someone is handling this. I would then proceed with carefully reading through the report and reviewing the proof. I would contact the accused staff member and ask them about it and why they did this. After that I would contact the user, who reported the staff member, to hear their story. Then I would come to my conclusion, if the evidence is invalid or the staff member has some more evidence that proves his innocence I would deny the report.





But if the evidence is valid or the staff member doesn't have some evidence to deny the given evidence I would accept this report then














I would contact the staff member through Steam/Discord and ask them why they banned him. After they give a good reason why they banned him this long I would still check his rap sheet and if after checking the rapsheet everything is ok I will leave the ban as it is. However if the staff member does not give a good reason as to why they banned the user for this amount of time I would then proceed to tell the staff member that this ban has an excessive length and ensure to tell him when to ban and how long to ban in any situation. After that I would lower the ban to the time I think is appropriate and try to contact the user that his ban has been lowered.



I would help them by using ‘guided learning’ to help them discover the right/ best way to deal with the issue. If needed I would message them personally to remind them of the policies and ethos the staff team use and follow and tell them that they can message any member of the staff team/ LT if help is needed in the future rather than struggling.




I would first ask the staff member who is reporting the other staff member what the accused staff member was doing and if they had any evidence. If the staff member did indeed have valid evidence, then I would speak to the accused staff member and ask them why they were breaking rules. I would also tell them that as a staff member, it is essential that we do not break the rules. Depending on if the staff member intentionally broke rules and how severe the rule(s) he broke was, I would bring them up in the Lead Team meeting for an official warning or demotion




I would first of all tell the staff member to stop arguing, and if that does not make them stop, I would ask them to talk to me on steam, discord, or ts. I would explain to them why they need to stop, and what trouble they can get into for what they have done. If it happens again, I would bring the staff member up into a LT meeting where it can properly be voted on.

For more serious abuse:

I'd emergency demote the staff member because he used his powers in a way that is not allowed, causing more harm than good. I would tell the staff member why he was demoted to not cause any unnecessary confusion and try to get a Head Administrator involved. I would inform the other Lead Team members why he has been emergency demoted and bring him up in the next lead team meeting as that is what the policy states (the lead team must vote on whether to keep the demotion in place). An emergency demotion should only be done when there is an emergency, such as a staff member mass abusing their powers or a staff member failing to desist abusive behavior.

For less serious abuse:

I’d give them a verbal warning and make sure that he’s 100% aware that what he did was wrong and that it should not happen again. They may be a new staff member or at least not known for doing anything to intentionally harm anyone. Lastly, he’d be brought up in the next lead team meeting to discuss whether any further action is needed.
