How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:
I've been Prop Hunt staff for around a year in total now, and with the staff team starting to grow once again, I feel I would be able to help out the server more with getting current staff more motivated to play, as well as training new staff members coming through the ranks. I'm very familiar with all the commands, having used most if not all of them available to an admin, and have previous experience as a Super Admin and could help out with hacker reports and such.
What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want):
Server Activity: I am always putting effort into getting my time on the server, playing daily over the last month or two, and when I'm on there, I'm happy to help other staff and users when they can't find a command, don't know how to do something or are stuck and need my assistance.
TeamSpeak/Forums: Recently I've been going on Teamspeak almost daily, talking to various people across the community. I attend as many meetings as possible and often voice feedback on suggestions and upcoming features. On the forums, I respond to almost everything Prop Hunt related, and when there are applications I often give my feedback on applicants on how to improve.
Attitude: I have a good attitude on the server, as I said I'm always willing to help out if needed and available to help people who need it, but I still enforce the rules fairly. I haven't had any issues as a staff member in terms of needing assistance or being unsure on certain rules or commands while on the server, and I try to guide staff and users when necessary.
Trust: I haven't been warned or demoted in the time I've been staff, and I try to help out the staff team where I can when staff are needed or people make punishment requests, showing that I follow the rules and Staff Ethos and can handle the responsibilities I already have.
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:
Obviously whenever people are hacking a lead team member is needed to deal with them, but also when there are ~30 people on and I'm alone it's difficult to tell whether people are ghosting, hacking, anything like that, and as a Super Admin, I would be able to anticheat any suspects and if they are hacking, they can be punished accordingly. It would just make staffing when the server starts to fill up that little bit easier.
Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
I would claim the report for myself and go through what happened first by myself, then with anyone involved, usually the staff member in question and anyone else present, and come to a conclusion.
If it was
accepted:
Hello (player), thank you for making the report.
In the video it is clear that the staff member in question was playing racist web taunts, as shown by the console logs. They know that this is not acceptable, and will be spoken to accordingly. Thank you for making this report, please continue to make reports if you feel like staff are breaking rules or abusing their powers.

If it was
denied:
Hello (player), thanks for making the report.
After talking to the staff member you reported, another user on at the time, and another staff member who was present, everyone agreed that you were micspamming for a long period of time. Not only did you fail to provide evidence against this, but the user on at the time gave me a video of you shouting though your mic for a long time. Next time I would advise that you listen to instructions and follow the rules to avoid this happening again.
Your warning will not be removed.

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?
I would ask the staff member why they banned the user. If the ban reason is valid, I would ask how long they banned them for. If the ban was too long, for example it's their first ban and they were banned for 2 weeks for multiple accounts of ghosting, I would explain to the staff member that this is a bit excessive, and I would ask them to lower the ban down to a few days. Finally, I would tell them to be more careful with ban durations or there may be consequences in future.
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?
Firstly, I would find out what the staff member is having issues with, then remind them of what commands they should use in that situation, for example gagging someone for x amount of time for micspamming. I would then make sure that they know what to do on their own, should something similar happen again.
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 would take any available evidence and reach an overall conclusion, if necessary by talking to anyone involved. Then I would talk to both staff members and discuss what happened, and why I came to a certain decision. If accepted, I would talk to the accused staff member, and bring up the incident in the next LT meeting, and if denied, I would talk through why I denied it to the accusing staff member.
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?
Firstly, I would make sure that the argument doesn't get in the way of other people, usually by taking the discussion to a private spacer on Teamspeak or in Admin Chat in game. I would then break up the argument, and find out what's going on and why they are arguing. I would attempt to resolve the situation and explain that as a staff team we are here to work together, and I would finally bring up any notable incidents in the next LT meeting.
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?
I would ask the staff member to join me on Teamspeak, where I would then talk to them about what they're doing and make sure they know that what they're doing is not acceptable. If at any point they ignored me and continued to break rules, I would be forced to emergency demote them. Either way, I would again bring up the incident in the next LT meeting.
