How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator: I've been administrator for a while now and feel at this point it's the right moment to go for lead team. I'm currently lead team on SSRP and have held the highest ranks besides CM/Owner throughout the community before. Having been a former BHOP Owner, Surf is very familiar to me and I enjoy it a lot. I believe I'd be a great asset to the team!

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want):

There are many contributing reasons to why I believe I'm the best candidate for Super Administrator currently.

Experience
Firstly, I believe my past experience to play a major role in me getting this position. Below I'll list my previous positions that I believe play a key role in giving me great experience for this role.

SSRP Head Administrator
BHOP Owner
Forum Administrator
TS3 Head Administrator
TTT Head Administrator
Minecraft Head Administrator
Murder Super Administrator
Deathrun Super Administrator

These positions have taught me a lot, and I worked very hard for them. I'm even currently a SSRP Super Admin which shows the lead team powers will not be foreign to me and I'll be well adapted to carrying them out.

Great Asset
I have a lot of experience as a staff member and surfer, I believe I'll be able to help train staff and help the server easily with my powers.

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: Honestly nothing at all on surf have I needed a lead team member for. There's very rarely any reason to punish someone unless they're just breaking blatant racism/disrespect rules.

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 disrespected another player. If this was the staff members first offense, I'd state on the thread something 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 TS3/Discord if 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? 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?

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:
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?

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 or higher to dish out an emergency demotion.
