Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
I feel as though my time spent as a moderator will contribute to becoming an admin simply as I have learnt how to handle situations more easily and efficiently. More specifically:

• My time as a moderator has taught me that people can be rude, bad-tempered and hard to talk to; however I have learnt to ignore this and continue to handle the situation calmly and un-responsive to their rude behavior.
• Unfortunately I have discovered there are times when nothing can be done; neither party has any evidence and logs have cleared. Despite wanting to do something and their negative reactions towards the fact nothing can be done, you cannot take sides no matter how convincing one parties story may be.
• There will be times that you cannot role play; the server is too busy and no one else is online or willing to help. I have learnt to give up what I am doing and get everything done to try and help avoid the server becoming chaotic.

Overall this experience has given me some insight to being an admin as I have begun to understand what it is like to have a responsibility on the ZARP server.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user).
I were to summarize a common obstacle I continue to work around as a moderator it would be when people are unhappy and there is nothing you can do. A couple of examples include:

• A player was killed without a valid role play reason and due to this he lost an expensive weapon. Despite giving the other player a warning this was not enough. I got continuous messages from this player asking me to give him money for his weapon; telling me that I was not doing a good job; that it was my responsibility to give back to him what he had lost. All I could do in this situation is apologize and explain that there is nothing I can do.
• The server was incredibly busy with no other staff online, as I was trying to get through the piling F1s I would see people complaining about not being seen as well as how useless the moderator was. Players would even specifically find me to try and get me to attend to their situation and would become frustrated when I explained I had to answer them in sequence.

In both of these situations all I can do is apologize and get on with moderator responsibilities.

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?
Welcome new Moderator,
You are now a member of staff for ZARP. As a staff member you now have a duty to work hard to help the community. There will be times that you will have a responsibility to stop role playing to go on duty if asked or because the server needs you. As a moderator you you are a representative of ZARP and therefore are required to remain friendly, calm and assure you do not break any server rules as well as warn those who you do witnesses breaking server rules.
When given moderator status you will be given a variety of commands (none of which should be used in role play, only moderator situations) such as;

• The ability to freeze a player
This should be done only if needed, for example if someone is continuously running away.

• The ability to teleport a player
This should be used bring over whomever is in the current moderator situation. You should never teleport another member of staff without asking.

• The ability to teleport to another player
This is commonly used at the beginning of an moderator situation to teleport to the player that made the request.

• The ability to warn a player
This requires a certain level of common sense; a situation may be difficult to decide whether one Player requires a warning (remember to keep this consistent.)

• The ability to kick a player
This command is arguably the most powerful command a moderator has and shouldn't be used lightly as unlike a warn it cannot be taken back.

To reiterate these commands must not be used in character and are there only to help in moderator situations.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask another member of staff, if there is a rule or action you are unsure about it is best to ask before doing it.Thank you for reading.

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 prop spam, and that this is their first ban. How would your response to the appeal be?
I wouldn't be able to do anything about this bad as I was not the one who issued it; however if it were my decision my response would be:
"Due to your thought out and genuine apology it would seem as though you have understood what you have done wrong and I appreciate you taking the time to write this appeal in great detail.
I have reduced the ban to 3 days."

Why I should be promoted (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
Since I have been a moderator most of my time is taken up by handling F1 situations; however as a moderator I am limited to what I can do. It is common for people not to take moderators seriously; this can make handling F1 situations more difficult and time consuming. To give a recent example I had gotten a report of fading door abuse, prop block and non-collided props within a players base. I teleported to the player but they did not let me in to check their base.
I also find that people are not respectful of moderators as don't mind about getting warned or kicked and when kicked will come back and continue to do as they please; when there are no admins online this can get hard to deal with especially on a busy server.
If given an admin status I would be able to handle these and more situations far more quickly and effectively.

Thank you once again for taking the time to read my application.

+Support - I have seen you in-game helping people as a moderator and you seems to be doing a good job, so a support for me.

Ermahgerd where to start! You're awesome you are ALWAYS active, You're friendly, Deal with F1's AMAZINGLY and you're always communicating with the server, whether it'll staff or the community!

With my time of being a moderator I have not noticed one bad thing about you.

So yeah all that sums up to my HUUUUGGGGEEEEE +SUPPORT

Good luck with getting accepted, you deserve it.

About the ban question, the scenario says that you banned them, so you're the one that is definitely supposed to respond to the appeal.

You're a really active mod that puts the effort in, is getting to be well acquainted with the community, and has a clean record in regards to breaking the rules/abusing powers.

Good luck.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for making the effort to apply for a rank on the ZARP Semi Serious DarkRP. Your application has been discussed at an administrative meeting, and from there it has been voted on.


As the number of 'yes' votes exceeded the number of 'no' votes you received, you have been accepted.

Towards the bottom there is a button leading you to a download of a 'welcome pack' (moreso intended for new moderators) - this will give you a brief insight into your duty and how to do it, but before we can give you your rank you will have to attend a training session. You can ask any superadmin for your training..

You need to attend a weekly meeting on our Teamspeak server (IP is 94.23.19.200), it would also be appreciated if you can click the banner in my signature and add me on steam so that we can manage the meetings more easily.

Congratulations on behalf of the administrative team.
