Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin.
My time here on ZARP as a Moderator has made me see a whole new side to ZARP from the staff point of view. I can now sympathise with staff and understand why at times it gets a little stressful. This makes me want to help out as much as I can to help the admins with F1's and help both new and old players understand ZARP better. As Moderator I have learnt how to deal with situations effectively and efficiently I feel leaving both sides of a dispute happy with a result. I have always asked alot of question about potential loop holes within some rules by asking admins online and they have helped me by explaining and I have passed this information down to the players so they do NOT make the same mistake again and as well as pass this on to other mods who may not be aware of some of these loop holes.
When I come online on ZARP I would say I would at least do 45 minutes + of MoD by helping out with F1's and helping the community by helping them make their bases rule worthy and not just warn them straight off the bat. I have learnt how to deal with 'hard' players by being able to tell if they are lying or not when a person has got RDM'd and if the player is aware of certain rules. I feel that I have learnt alot from being mod and I would love to help future mods understand certain rules better and even learn from what they have to say. I have adapted to work under pressure when there are many F1's and not so many other mods online and still deliver the same result but quicker. I have also learnt how to manage mass amounts of players when I get called for a F1 and there are many players about. This allows me to handle difficult F1's when alot of people are complaing at once.
Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user).
Being mod for a couple of weeks I havent had many disruptive users but one which sticks in my mind is when I had a report of FailRP but it was much more! The siuation involved 2 bankers and 2 police. The Bankers said that the police personally let some 'rushers' into the base while breaking in. When I first TP'd the group to me I first told the police that first off raiding a bank is not allowed and is classed as FailRP and they should not do it. I issued a warn to both of the police. So, that was the first warn done. I then started talking to the bankers and I explained that the bank looked more like a base and had no clear sign that it was a bank and that they should put a bank sign down and remove the first fading door so customers can walk in. I then went inside the bank and found 4 fading doors leading intro the bank and I asked them once finished with the F1 for them to removed 2 fading doors. While this was happening the Bankers were getting rowdy and started walking away and shouting I told them both to be quiet and froze them and said if they were to continue in this style I will warn them for everything the have done wrong without giving them a chance to speak. They hushed I then explained to them that as there is no screenshots about these 'rushers' getting into the base I cant do anything about it and the police apologised for these people getting in as the raid as such a quick one and didnt realise they were in. I finished the F1 and I feel everyone was happy with the result.
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?

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.
I would first see that if a person has put this much effort into a ban appeal he clearly wants to be back on the server. No troll would bother appealing in great lengths to get banned again. I would unban player x and respond to the post with the following:
Hello player x!,
I understand that I have banned you recently for prop spamming. This will not be tolerated on the server hence the permanent ban! I am willing to unban you and give you a second chance on the basis that you will NOT be doing anything like this again! However if you are found doing it again you will be banned and with no chance of getting a unban! Have a nice day!

Why I should be promoted (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
I feel I should be promoted to Admin because so far being mod is great! You get a great feeling when someone says thanks for the help and a bad one when you cannot help a player. I want to be able to contribute more to the server by dealing with F1's which I cannot do anything about such as disconnected players props not being able to be removed as there are no admins on, Banning players which deserve to be banned e.g. players who leave the game while talking to them about a serious F1 such as Multiple counts of RDM and mass prop spam in spawn. I am a very active player and play every night and look forward to seeing a wide range of F1's! Theres never a day gone by thats the same in ZARP!
ZARP at the moment is a very established community and has a reputation. I want to be able to add to this by helping as many players as I can no matter what the situation is. A couple of weeks ago I started a graphics page which I made both players and admins free forum signatures. I have provided this service to some players as I have slowed down and been working on being a Mod on the server. This is one of the many ways I wish to help the server grow. I hope in the near future to do a whole new ZARP look as I feel ZARP SSRP has a new map and growing range of servers and needs a more snappy, attractive look.
I thank you for reading my app! hope to see you all in game soon!
