Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin.

I feel that my time as a Moderator has been rewarding, as I have met new people, learnt new things and learnt how to be a successful moderator. New skills I have learn and taught to other moderators are things like binding the "tp" command to make it easier to get around the map, taught them about the tab menu commands (Still some people don't know that one) and other things. I have also learn how to be more efficient with the f1s I handle. For example I have learn how to easily teleport players if the "/tp command" doesn't come up with their name. I have also learnt to bind my "Hello, I'm The Gamer Guy, and I will be handling your f1, what is the problem" text, so I can easily press the button whenever I am handling an f1. New skills, new friends and a lot more help out when it comes to these things.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user).

I have had a few situations where I have come to an obstacle in my path, but I will use this one.

One day I had a crap ton of f1s, and I was trying to ask for help over steam, so someone could come help me. But I had this certain f1, the f1 was titled "PROPBLOCK ADMIN TO ME!!!" or something around those lines. I accepted the f1, went over there, and "POOF!" I crashed. I didn't know what was going on, I don't know if it was my computer overloading but I was getting onto the server as soon as I could to try and resolve that f1. When I got on the server the person who made the f1 was spam PM'ing me saying "WHY DID YOU LEAVE". I messaged him back saying "Sorry, I crashed" so I teleported back to him, and with devastating lag, I saw like 40 of those big fence things. I got my camera out and took screenshots, but then I got propkilled by someone, I teleported back to quickly look at who spawned the fences and I found the player. I went to spawn up on the ledge thing just above the NPC. And I asked him what he was thinking, he was AFK...... At this point there were 2 things in my mind : "He's pretending to be AFK" or "just /kick him", so I kicked him, easy enough. Till he came again. Propblocking spawn as soon as he got online, I immediately decided to kick him again, and with desperate need of an admin, and no answer, the only thing I could think of, was to warn him 4 times to get him banned, as that would've been the only answer, just to hold him back for an hour, so I could hopefully get an admin online. It was all resolved in the end. Because he never came back onto the server.

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 [Insert name here],

First of all I would like to congratulate you on being accepted to the ZARP gaming SSRP team, this is an email of telling you the basics of being a moderator on ZARP.

You may of got your training pack download off of Christopher, this can be handy at times, I advise you read that now if you haven't already. Now I will explain the commands and features of moderator.

Admin Keypad Checker

This tool is very handy and is obtained by being a "Mod on Duty" which you can find at the bottom of the f4 job screen.
The Admin Keypad Checker, is used by clicking on a keypad to check the delay of fading doors. Just click on the keypad with this tool (It looks like a Half Life 2 pistol) and it will come up with "This keypad is connected to 0-[Any number]" This will tell you if it is linked and functional, or a troll keypad. If it is connected it will come up with a green beam leading up to the fading door, which will then have a "delay time". Remember that fading doors have to be on 4 seconds or more.

The logs

Press f1, as if you would be playing as a user to make an f1, but without the f1 system screen, it will pop up with a new screen, called the ZARP Administrative System. There will be 3 tabs.

• Admin Requests
• Warnings
• Logging

Admin requests show current f1s.

Warnings, show up with warnings gave to players by other fellow staff members.

And logging, is used to look at the logs.

To accept an f1. Press on your f1 button, and it will come up with f1s. Click on the f1 you would like to handle, and click on "Handle this f1!" After that click on the f1 your handling again, and click on "goto" this will take you to the player who made the f1 so you can handle it. To show that you have finished the f1, go into the f1 menu, and click on the f1 again, and click "Mark as finished". And that's how to deal with requests.

Now for the commands!

/warn

You will use this a lot..... just do /warn [player name] [reason]

Warnings can be undone with /unwarn [player name]

/kick

Use this to kick players, for reasons like propspamming, MASS RDM, etc.

/freeze

/freeze [player name] can be used to freeze players when they are propkilling, RDM'ing, RDA'ing etc.
/unfreeze [player name] to obviously unfreeze them.

/tp

Do /tp [player name] to teleport the requested player to the position of your crosshair. You can also do just /tp to teleport to the area your crosshair is aiming at.

You can also do /back [player name] to send the player to their last position, or you can just do /back to teleport yourself back to your last position.

/bring

/bring [player name] to bring the requested player to your position. Its probably easier to do /tp [player name] as using /bring does not allow you to use /back .

Admin chat

Do /// [message] to use admin chat, to talk to other moderators, admins, and SA's without normal users hearing you.

/slay

No point of using this one.

/slap

Not worth using this one either....

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?


Hello, [player name]

I would like to thank you for putting effort into a ban appeal.

I banned you for propspam, as the action you did is able crash the server. I hope you understand what you did was bad, I will happily shorten your ban to 2 weeks, so hopefully you can think about what you have done. Remember to read the rules.

Accepted!

Why I should be promoted (we recommend around 150 words).

I think I should be promoted because I think its time. I have been helpful on the forums, helping people with their problems, and I have made my own contributions to the forums and the servers in game. Sometimes I feel as if my ability isn't strong enough though, when I'm trying to watch someone to catch them mass RDM.... I can't. I get RDM'd myself. When I check buildings with building signs. I am lied too, and I ask them why, and they say, "well you can't do anything, your just a f*cking mod" . People look down to me as a mod. I get f1s, saying "admin to me" a lot of the time, I teleport to them, and it seems like a normal f1, until they say "ABUSE! I WANT AN ADMIN!".

I feel that I would be able to help players more, with some of the commands. I would be able to travel around easier when on duty. And generally be as helpful as I possibly could. I would be able to be more efficient at f1s, with some of the administrator features. With great powers comes great responsibility, may seem cheesy, but its true. And that's the main rule I stay by (ZARP Rules too )

And sometimes a see a lack of admins on servers at certain times.... I don't see any online on steam.... So being an admin could help people who play early in the morning/afternoon, whilst also helping at tough times (Oh server 1......)

So I thank you for reading my administrator application.

Notes :

I like your app but I can't remember how you handle F1 situations.

Even though i don't play dark rp, this is a really nice application, well done gamer.

Caution: This template is complex and requires focus. So, I might make mistakes, please be patient and report anything wrong by adding me on steam.

Hello, I'm replying to this Staff Application that you made, because I would like to give my feedback/opinion. This template that I've designed includes everything I need to judge you about organized properly for easy reading. I do not mean/intend to offend you in my feedback and I hope that all my criticism and compliments will be taken into consideration. If you find anything I say to be harsh or useless you can report it to me by adding me on steam.


In the first part of my feedback, I'll be judging you based on the info/design found in your application as well as, your time and activity on both servers. Note: No matter our current relation, friends or rivals, I will judge you equally.

Activity: + Support
Time on both servers: - Support
Application's Format: + Support
Application Info: + Support
Additional Note(s) about your Application: To start off, your Gametracker profile shows that you are a very active person on the other hand, you should work on your time and maybe increase it to 150 hours or so. Carrying on, your application looks good, it has the correct info and a good looking format.



In this part of my feedback, I'll be determining my notion over my past experience with you. Note: If I don't know you enough I will simply keep my judgement Neutral not consider other players/staff's opinion unless the meeting is 6 hours due. In addition to that, I want to note to that, in the F1 Situation section, I will deduce my verdict by considering how you perform during an F1 Situation.

F1 Situations: + Support
Personality: + Support
Matureness: + Support
Knowledge of rules: + Support
Additional Note(s) about you:I've had the chance t both spectate and get to know you, and from what I've seen/deduced, you'll make a great Admin. To get into more details, you know how to handle F1s and listen to both side of the stories (most of the times). Moreover, you are a very kind and friendly person who is mature considering your age ( which impresses me). Last but not least, I've never seen you abuse nor break any rules.


This section will affect a very small part of my opinion and will be counted as only one opinion when counting my verdicts. I will talk about what most people say about your obedience to the rules. Then, I'll chatter about what people say about your activity and time on the server. Next, I will write about what they think of your personality and matureness. Finally, I will judge you on what people say about your application.

Please, DO NOT copy this reply template, as I have worked hard on it and do not wish it to be used by anyone else without my permission.

Thanks for the feedback Johnny, I have been working on that game time

And thanks for your feedback too Brusk.

I'm still looking for feedback guys

You seem like a great guy but in my opinion no 12 year old should be a staff member.. But that's just my opinion right?

- Support

To be entirely honest with you, the age shouldn't matter, as there are mature people and non mature people. You can't tell by their age.

But thank you for the feedback anyway. I hope this doesn't turn into one of those arguments where they discuss one little thing.

And yes, it is your opinion

Akbul, you really need to stop -Supporting simply because of age.



This is MY application response for The Gamer Guy.
I will give you my feedback on what I think your positives and negatives are.

The Gamer Guy, I have seen you on DarkRP multiple times and I think despite your age, the fact that you are already a Moderator tells me that you are mature enough to handle Administrative responsibilities and powers wisely.

I have not spoken to you much but what you write on the forum tells me you are a good person, and that you have a good amount of grammatical knowledge, not the best, but good.

Your application is also good, nothing really wrong with it, the one think I would have done is used less colours, but many people like it, so don't bother changing it.


Verdict: A good +Support.

Well-done and good-luck.

Any edits will be put here:
Thank-you for reading.

Thank you for your feedback Hawk. I hope to see you online more

I didn't know Akbul did that for other applications too.

Any feedback anyone?

EDIT :

Added a few stuff to application, only a few words.

Always fun to talk to
Always good at F1's
Always a good Mod
+Support

Thanks for the feedback Scorpion!

Last BUMP before meeting

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.
