Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
I think that I come on the server more now that I'm a moderator and that being staff on one of the best servers on DarkRP is a real honour and that I have now got to know more staff on the server. I think that now I have Learn't to use all the Moderator tools it will make it easier to use all the admin tools.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user):
One of the obstacles I have had to work around as a moderator is when i got an F1 about someone Propblocking someones shop. So I thought it was going to be urgent so I went there. When I TPed the Gun Dealer was dening that he had ever made an F1 in the first place. So I kept on telling him that he had made an F1 but he still denied it so in the end the Gun Dealer pulled out a gun and threatend to shoot me if I didn't go so I left him to it.

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, In this email I will be teaching you all of your new commands and how to use them efficiently. But first I would just like you congratulate you with your new promotion. Ok now lets move onto the commands:

Firstly, you have a number of teleportation commands.
/tp <Player> <Player> This command allows you to teleport certain players (including yourself) to the location where your crosshair is pointing. You can use it in a number of ways. /tp will teleport you to where you are looking. ./tp <player> will teleport the selected player to where you are looking. And finally /tp <player> <player> will teleport the first player to the second player. This is used in F1 situations
/bring <player> This command teleports the selected player to you. This is used in F1 situations.
/goto <player> This command teleports you to the selected player. Can be used in an F1 situation to goto the player who created it.
/back <player> This allows you to teleport the selected player (or yourself if no player is selected) to their previous location before being teleported. Used at the end of an F1 when you are finished with the reported player.

There are also other commands that you have access to.
/kick <player> <reason> This kicks the selected player. Used if someone is propspamming and no admins are on.
/freeze <payer> This freezes the selected player in place. Used if someone is running away from your F1. (Use /unfreeze <player> to let them move again)
/ignite <player> This lights a player on fire. Used as a punishment for a player. However I wouldn’t recommend using it too often/at all.
/slap <player> This slaps a player. Used as a punishment towards a player. But I wouldn’t really use it much.
/slay <player> Kills the selected player. Used as a punishment. Again, I wouldn’t really use this.
/mute <player> Makes the selected player unable to talk. Used if someone is micspamming in your F1 situation.

Here are some ‘tips’ on being a moderator.
-Do F1s! You have volunteered for this job to help the community.
-Use the ‘Admin Keypad Checker’ to check fading doors. Left click on keypad, shows door’s hold time. Left click on door prop. Shows keypads connected to it. Right click, resets the tool.
-Don’t be afraid to ask for help from an admin or super admin. They have applied for that job and it is their job to help other staff and players.
-You can add a bind to make the /tp command easier. (In console type the following: bind <key>”say /tp”) This will do the command every time the selected button is pressed.
-DON’T ABUSE POWERS!

Once again congratulations on becoming a Moderator on SSRP!

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 reply to his appeal with the following:
Hello <player>. I banned you from the server for propspamming. This is a very serious offence that we cannot take lightly because it can crash the server. However, you have clearly put a lot of time and effort into your appeal which shows that you are really dedicated to the ZARP Gaming Community. Because of this I will be shortening your ban to a temporary ban of 2 weeks.
Appeal ACCEPTED, ban shortened to 2 weeks.

Why I should be promoted (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
I think I should be promoted because I respect all staff members, have not been warned as moderator I can be trusted with information about the server which has to be kept secret. I would never abuse my powers. I want to STOP all the rule breakers among the ZARP community. I would help people who need it and help all the new people who join ZARP. I have a good knowledge of the rules here on ZARP. I try my best to help all the people who need it But these aren’t the only things, I will be a good RPer and have a laugh with the other players among ZARP. I would like to help the ZARP staff improve the server(Not that it needs it).I think that having the ability to no-clip will help me in many different ways E.G. fly round to find rule breakers. Admin will enable me to make events which can allow people have more fun on the server.

Thanks For Reading Hope You Enjoy.

This is a good application , only please tidy it up than its looks much better.
I can't vote for you yes on the meeting because i'm only mod....
But you get a +Support
From me.

I think that you are a great guy to be around with and that you have the potentual of being an admin! I am not an admin yet but I have never seen you break any rules which means that it is a +Support from me! Good luck!

-Kryptic.

I don't know how this guy even got Moderator, he has a clear bias and self indulgent way of playing; before he was mod he'd base with his cousin of which he would often rule break with (creating mazes, disorientating bases via use of materials, breaking nlr and breaking number of fading doors). Now you may say "people change" yet this was only a week or two before server map changed and his rp'ing is in no doubt selfish in essence.
All I see through his application here is the use of hyperbole to bootlick the server and high members of staff, with "best server" and "real honour", in order to gain a higher status within the server. If I had seen his mod application I would have been sure to -support it and I know other players who would agree, of which aren't active on forums.
This player is power hungry and is self-centered, hoping to climb the rank ladder of Zarp RP control management.

-SUPPORT

Well firstly I don't recall breaking any base rules. Also feel free to post any proof of these accusations in a reply to this post. For all I know you could just be a player who dislikes me for reasons which I do not wish to guess. But thanks for replying.

BTW I have been in active for the past week due to personal issues.

That first line is funny actually, as you said something similar when the mod/admin came to sort out my f1 that time. And of course I'm not going to have any proof of what you did, I don't keep screenshots nor videos of you in particular for long periods of time. But, also, to bring up the "proof" game ultimately displays your lack of understanding and selfishness, as I can quite simply say prove that you didn't. I would expect a bit more sensitivity and care about what you say there for a 'wanna-be' admin.
Also I admire your use of retaining your 'face' by using politeness theory (If you don't know what this is look up Ervin Goffman), in order to artificially show how much of a polite person you are... which you are not; whereby you have been quite rude and used extensive cussing towards me and fellow players in the past.
Thanks for your time (I do love a debate),
Milky

Oh and I would just like like to say thank you to everyones support.

Your getting mixed up my cousin sponge was denied last time with aggression and impatience. I've never seen him break rules as mod and he wouldnt be in his current position if he broke rules. Now everyone makes mistakes even I have and some other staff may agree with Me. Also I've never made a base with mazes because I know they are not Allowed you may be mixed up with his mate. Anyway I see what your saying about sponge his attitude may need a tiny bit of work but he is progressing. I'm also not saying any of this because he is my cousin because I tell him why he was denied and how he can improve face to face in real life and on Skype. I do think sponges aggression and patience has gotten better and he has understood why he was denied for it. I'm not giving my actual opinion or verdict on Sponge yet but I wish him Good luck.


Also Milked Sponge is a polite and sensitive person inside it's just a bit hard for him to show It if you know what I mean

Hi Sponge Cake,
I think you would make a great admin because dispite the the past denied applications you are clearly dedicated because you have reposted numerous times.
Also after reading your application I can see no reason why you shouldn't be accepted.
Although you have been denied for immaturity I think that you have learnt your lesson and will not do it again.

My verdict:
+SUPPORT

Of which you're basically saying "EVERYONE LOOK AT MY ONLY SUPPORT" to uphold yourself positively.
I also find it ironic how you aren't taking my post seriously and are blatantly ignoring it, this is clearly juxtaposed for the role you desire.
Plus the emoticon paints a picture, shows the pathetic nature of you trying to be cocky towards me.
Thanks,
Milky

Typical bias of a family member who wants his cousin to become an admin so that he too can exploit the given powers

milkybakid wrote:
Okay Milky you may have a problem with Sponge but arguing over it on forums will not make it better at all, therefore I am asking you in a nice polite way can you stop. Thank you

Also. I've said I'm not wanting my cousin to be Admin. If you have a serious problem make a request on forums or speak to a higher Rank. I also think your trying to be a bit cocky now. So I would stop. It's not getting your points anywhere. Ty

I don't recognise your name so I'm not sure if you play Rp, anyway I don't believe you can entirely base your judgements on a written task which anyTom, Dick or Harry could fill out.

Just little response to Zippys anwser: There is NO possibility to not make mistakes. If you would had ability to avoid mistakes Gaben would eat you.

I have a problem? If you didn't realise the majority of countries are democracies, thus I am entitled to my opinion and to have someone tell me to shut up just encourages me to fight on; take a look at Cameron against Juncker at the moment. I don't feel your input is necessary you have a clear bias and I'm just putting my opinion and experience with this player across so that the higher staff members can get a true reflection of this player; as it is up to them after all.
PLUS a popular server should encourage debates and not shut them down, it is the way to get voices heard and to make progress.
Thanks,
Milky

I personally like debates and arguments myself and I see what you are trying to say about sponge. I didn't tell your shut up at all I asking nicely if you could stop. I know your points what you are trying to get across. And we could be here for days have a debate. but I think we should settle this here. If you wish to debate me against me add me on steam > Zippyjack

Spongecake, I've not seen you on in the past few weeks at all.

Put some more time into this community, and I'll reconsider.

On the other hand the application is above average, thank's for your effort.


It's a -Support from me.

First of all Inwould like to say your application is good, and as Morgan said better than average.

However you activity seems to be lacking, you said your reason for this was 'personal issues' or something similar, but if you are unable to play then why apply for admin. I would say applying in a week or two would have been best when your activity gets back to normal.

For now it's a Neutral from me.

Hello Sponge!

I think your maturity has gotten better and you can control your aggression better.
I think You need to work a tiny bit on your activity from last week or so. You also show your a dedicated person towards ZARP.

My verdict: +SUPPORT
