Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin.
My moderator time was quite long ago, but I got compliments about how skillfull I was as a moderator and that I was great administrator material, in my time as administrator I proved that statement to be correct as on my resignation I got complimented for my work not only by users and fellow administrators/moderators but also by one of the current community managers. I will quote some lines later on in the application about what people said exactly in my resignation post.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user).
The time I was the only staff-member online for about 2 - 3 hours, I had to take up 30+ requests on my own and even though it was quite some work and quite the obstacle it teached me alot:

• Work under pressure,
• doing the requests efficiently,
• how to deal with large amounts of upset players at once,
• crowdcontrol.

If you had to write an email to train a moderator in between 200-300 words, what would you say to give them the full grasp?

Hello and a warm welcome to the Zarp staff-team!

In this email I will tell you all about the basic moderator commands and something about the strike system we use. Lets start with some basic commands and how to use them,
each command will be explained in 4 parts:

1. The command name,
2. a small explanation about what the command does,
3. the use of the command,
4. the setup of the command

Now that we have the 4 steps in mind lets start:

• Goto
• The goto command will teleport you to another user
• Example use of the command: /goto illuminatixs
• Command setup: /goto <target>


• Bring
• The bring command will bring a player to you
• Example use of the command: /bring xhantium
• Command setup: /bring <target>


• Teleport
• The teleport comand will teleport you or a user to another user
• Example use of the command: /tp illuminatixs xhantium
• Command setup: /tp <person to be teleported> <target>
• Note: if you only fill 1 rpname/steamname/steamId in it will teleport the target to the position you're aiming at.


• Kick
• The kick command will disconnect the user you specified from the server
• Example use of the command: /kick mingePlayer Prop spamming
• Command setup: /kick <target> <reason>


• Ignite
• The ignite command will set the user you specified on fire untill the specified time ends or untill the user is out of HP
• Example use of the command: /ignite illuminatixs 10
• Command setup: /ignite <target> <time>
• Note: If you dont specify a time it will burn the player untill you /unignite them or untill the player dies.


• Freeze
• The freeze command will stop the user from moving
• Example use of the command: /freeze mingePlayer 50
• Command setup: /freeze <target> <time>
• Note: If you dont specify a time it will freeze the player untill you /unfreeze them or untill the player disconnects.


• Slap
• The slap command will slap a player a specified amount of times with a specified amount of damage per hit
• Example use of the command: /slap illuminatixs 10 1
• Command setup: /slap <target> <amount of slaps> <damge per slap>


• Slay
• The slay command will kill the specified user
• Example use of the command: /slay illuminatixs rocket
• Command setup: /slay <target> <slay method>


• Mute
• The mute command will stop the specified player from speaking in his microphone
• Example use of the command: /mute illuminatixs 500
• Command setup: /mute <target> <amount of time>
• Note: if you dont specify a time it will mute the player untill they disconnect or you /unmute them

Now that you know the basic commands and how they work, you should go in game and give it a try!
the best way to learn the job is to experience it at first hand.
A little warning though, you are not god in-game! we use a strike system to warn and demote moderators that either are failing in their position or abusing their position. The strike system is simple, 3 strikes and you're out! Don't be scared though, strikes aren't given for little things.

And before you go into the world of Zarp and help us make the server a better place for us all,
remember: There is no shame in asking help from your fellow staff-members, you can use the admin chat (///) for that or just /pm. We are here to help, so we help each other too ofcourse. And don't forget to have some fun!

Best of wishes,
illuminatixs.


Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x appeals their ban in great detail, apology and effort. You check the ban list and find that you banned them permanently for propspam, and that this is their first ban. How would your response to the appeal be?
I would start with reading his application closely and reflect that application with what i can remember of the situation, if its more or less the same as I can remember then I would set his ban to 24 hours so he can overthink his actions and then come back for a 2nd chance but I wil also warn him that if this happens again the ban will be set back into place. In the mean time I will give my fellow staff-members a heads up about the guy.

Why I should be promoted (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
I'm a experienced and respected ex-administrator and I think I've proven my skills on the job,
after a break of a month from Zarp I think I'm full of energy again to start doing what I love again and that is helping the community out and create a better Zarp for us all to enjoy.

To proof my earlier stated line "I'm a experienced and respected ex-administrator" I'd like to quote some lines from my resignation post as I said I would at the start of this application:

The feedback supports my earlier mentioned claim, and even one of the community managers responded with kind words and an overall overview of me that supports my claim, and based upon all of this I think I should be a good choice for the administrator position.

Thank you for your time.

Great person ! Really deserve Admin ! Polite and Patient !

+ SUPPORT !

I think it is too soon since you have returned to apply, don't get me wrong you were a good staff member - but this is your only playtime since your long departure:



Personally I would say you should have waited another week before applying.

Gametracker bugged out yesterday since I was online for 140+ min but under another RP name (illuminatwix / illuminatwixs), me and i7moody were playing as S.W.A.T's for quite some time so you can count that one up with the total time.

And further, to be honest with you, I wouldn't last a week as regular player.
Its just so boring to be a regular player on a server you used to administrate, it just sucks the joy out of you to see so many things you used to be able to correct and now you're just walking around.. playing abit en reporting trough F1 without any way to do something that actually matters, other than help people with questions in OOC.

But as far as you could see and know, I do see why you got to this conclusion but i7moody can at the very least confirm I was online longer than 24 min gametracker says I was.

And further, I didn't return to apply if you read my resignation post, i resigned because i lacked time with the internship and all, but I lost less time than i expected so I came back and hope to be able to get back into my old position to continue my work.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for making the effort to apply for promotion on the ZARP Semi Serious DarkRP.

Unfortunately as more staff members voted 'no' than 'yes', you have been denied.

However, the meeting host has taken some points made by the admins and provided you with this feedback:

You are welcome to apply again at any point.
