How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:
I have been a staff member for 1 Month. I have gained a perfect understanding of the rules and how to act in every situation thrown my way as well as how to handle them. I have gained an excellent relationship with both my fellow staff and users alike. I can act fun and friendly when it comes to just talking but whenever I handle situations I act serious and professional. I also know every command that I would need to benefit in handling situations such as someone ban evading by using an alt or people ghosting.
Overall my time as an admin has allowed me to gain an extensive knowledge of the rules, commands and how to handle every situation.
I'd like to add that if I were to be accepted I would help towards getting martin a new ice-cream machine!

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

---

Activity
I always ensure my activity is high, I am online everyday for at least 1 hour in which time I help my fellow staff members and users, I also just enjoy playing Prop hunt. I also ensure that I attend every single meeting I can to ensure my vote is casted for new mods and admins.

---

Experience
I have been an admin for 3 weeks as I mentioned in which time I have been able to handle every situation I have encountered mainly just in game situations such as ghostingas there haven’t been any appeals/punishment requests for me to handle however I have handled lots in the TTT related ones. I have also in my opinion gained an impeccable knowledge of every rule in Prop Hunt and how to enforce them which means I know how to help any staff member who is struggling to handle a situation or if they don't understand what to do in an appeal. I have never been punished once on Prop Hunt. I am also currently a TTT super admin so I am already trusted in this kind of role, I have handled report abuses on staff members and dealt with cheaters as well as doing other LT duties such as training new staff.

---

Attitude
I am always friendly in game to the users, I help anyone with any questions they may have about for example applying for staff or understanding why they were warned and where to appeal it if they would like to. I am especially friendly to other staff members where I like to have a laugh but can be serious when they need help with a report they don't understand.

---

Forums
I am very active on the forums. I post on nearly every Prop Hunt related post whether it be me giving support on an application or handling a ban appeal. I am constantly checking the forums to see if there are any posts that require my input. I especially like handling appeals as I like the idea of second chances but I will deny if necessary. I handled almost all of the TTT related appeals and punishment requests in my time as an admin on TTT but there are none to handle for prop hunt. I am also currently a section moderator in appeals and server applications.
Here are a few of the appeals and punishment requests I have handled (They are TTT as there haven’t been any Prop Hunt ones!):

Appeal 1
Appeal 2
Punishment Request 1
Punishment Request 2

---

Discord
I am always checking the discord to see if anyone has put out a contact request or has an issue they need help with and no one is online to help them. I always help fellow staff members who need help handling a situation or if they have a question about the rules.

---

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:
I haven’t really encountered any cheaters on Prop hunt but i have dealt with cheaters in the past on TTT where i pinged Super admins and head admins, but noone came so i just recorded them with my software and gave a LT member the evidence afterwards. As LT dealing with cheaters I ran anti-cheat on them and if nothing came up I would record them. If there was sufficient evidence in the anti-cheat I Pm them the link to the anti-cheat and tell them that cheating is against the rules then I would proceed to kick/ban them (ban if second offence).

---

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
Firstly, I would reply to the post saying handling then I would look over the evidence that has been provided in the report, and if there was not enough evidence, I would tell the user that they need to collect more otherwise I would deny the report. Once I had the evidence, I would look over it and talk to the staff member in question then decide if I believed the staff member was abusing their powers, then I would accept the appeal and subsequently bring them up in the lead team meeting on Sunday. If I was to deny it, I would try to explain to the user why the staff member wasn’t abusing their powers.

Accepted
I have spoken to Staff member x and reviewed your evidence and have decided that they did act in an inappropriate manner and they will be brought up in the lead team meeting on Sunday. Thank you for making this post.


Denied
I have spoken to staff member x and reviewed your evidence and have decided that they were correct in their actions. “I would explain how in that situation it was right and explain why”. No action will be taken against Staff member x.

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 first check the users rap sheet, check their recent punishments and ban lengths, then I would ask the staff member why they banned them. If I thought the ban was excessive I would talk to the staff member on TeamSpeak and explain to them how long the ban should’ve been and what to do next time. I would take no further action unless they did it again.

---

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 first of all privately message the staff member in question telling them how they should handle the situation and that if they get annoyed it's better to leave it and let another staff member handle it than to get annoyed and possibly come off as being one sided/ biased against a certain player. I would then tell them if they wanna talk about it they can come on TeamSpeak and we can talk about 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?
I would first of all ask the staff member if they had any evidence to support their claims. Then I would go to the staff member being accused and confront them asking if these claims are true and depending on the seriousness I would either talk to them and explain to them that it isn't allowed. After I would bring them up in the lead team meeting.

---

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?
I would first of all ask both staff members to come onto TeamSpeak and I would take them into a private room and tell them about the staff ethos and how they should act in game to each other and users. If they still refuse to apologise then i would suggest that they try to not play at the same time but they need to work out their problems as they would argue during meetings and any times they are on together.

---

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 instantly private message the staff member telling them to stop what they were doing. Then if they stopped I would ask them to come on teamspeak and remind them of the staff ethos. If they refused and continued on abusing (depending on the seriousness of the actions) I would emergency demote them, gather evidence and bring them up in the lead team meeting. If it wasn't that serious I would advise them to leave and warn them not to join back and abuse, then I would again bring them up in the lead team meeting.
Thank you for reading my application and I hope you invite me to join the Prop Hunt lead team.
