Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
I have been a staff at ZARP for a long time but decided to retire for 4 months ago and since then I have learned a lot about the staff and the community itself. I know all the rules, and I give all the offenders that break the rules an appropiate and fair punishment. I have after weeks learned how to deal with people seeking help, and learned about what sort of punishments the offender should be getting when breaking any of our rules at ZARP DarkRP, I have also got a lot of experience using our moderator tools which will help me understand the admin tools and how they work aswell with my knowledge about being a moderator.



Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user):
I have had many situations when people don't believe that the warning I gave them was valid and that they don't believe there is a rule for the offence they were punished for.

A short example is when I got RDM'ed as a citizen by a Mutant, after I got killed I decided to bring him to a roof to speak with him in private.

I told him what rule he broke and that he shoulden't do it again as it will be resulted in more warnings and eventually a temporary ban, the person however keept going telling me that I don't know the rules and that was a bad moderator.

I therefore explained to the person that these rules can be seen on our forum or by writing the command !motd, the person continued and woulden't listen to me. I decided therefore to bring a admin colleague to the situation that told the offender that I was right and that he should listen to me.

The situation was after that solved, when he got confirmation from a admin.

I choosed this story not only because it was a strange and difficult situation, but also to show that we all work togheter in the staff team and it is important to work as a team to gain maximium effectivity.



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 Peter,
You have been accepted to becoming a moderator on ZARP DarkRP.

My name is Kevin and my goal is to train you to become a succesful moderator here on ZARP, I will begin this training by showing you how to use the moderator commands and I will finally in the end of this e-mail guide you through, how you are able to use the F1 system.

We begin by going through all the moderators commands,

Commands:
/Slap <STEAM-ID/Player> <Damage>
The following command is used to slap a player, it is mostly not used.

/Slay <STEAM-ID/Player>
The follwing command is used to slay a player, it is mostly used when a player don't want to drop a weapon if they have broken the gun rules.

/Freeze <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to freeze a player, can be used during F1's examplewise.

/Unfreeze <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to unfreeze a player.

/Warn <STEAM-ID/Player> <Reason>
The following command is used to warn a player.

/Unwarn <STEAM-ID/Player>
The follwing command is used to take back a warning, incase you made a false warning.

/Voicemute <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to mute a players microphone, it is used when a player is microphone spamming.

/kick <STEAM-ID/Player> <Reason>
The following command is used to kick a player from the server, this command is rarley used unless there is no admins online that can't ban the person for prop spamming or RDM, etc.

/Goto <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to teleport to a player position.

/Teleport <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to teleport a player to the position where you are looking at.

/Back <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to bring a player back to his or her location before you used the /teleport command.

/Bring <STEAM-ID/Player>
The following command is used to bring a player too you, when using this command the /back command doesen't work.

The F1 system is a system which is made both for the players and for the staff, a player presses F1 and makes a report on something he needs help with.

When he does this we recieve a blinking red text showing that there is a unsolved F1 that needs to be taken care off as soon as possible, we then press F1 on our keyboard and is able to right click and press "Handle" to take the F1.

You can also check the logs by going into the logs section, and search for a players name, this is a great way to find out RDM'ers and CDM'ers as everything is being saved in this log.



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 X,
Thank you for making a ban appeal, I have gone through your ban appeal and decided to shorten your ban to 1 (one) week with the reason being as you have put a lot of effort and I can see your are very sorry for what happened during that day, you will not be unbanned immeatley with the reason being that we take propspammers really serious on our server, however I will shorten your ban to 1 week and I hope to see you on the server once your ban expires!

Have a good day!

Best Regards,
ZARP Staff Team



Why I should be promoted (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words):
I believe I deserve to become an admin once again, as I believe there is a shortage of admins on ZARP DarkRP. I think we have a good amount of moderators but we don't have a lot of admins that are on during the mornings because of different timezones. I think brining an experienced old retired admin such as myself could help the community in keeping the server clean from rule breakers and letting people having fun on the server by keeping away all the rule breakers.

I have in many cases meet prop spammers and rule breakers that should have been banned on the spot but instead they are being kicked by myself as there are no admins online, and reported at a later time when it comes admins online when I used to be a moderator.

I have also warned and eventually temporary banned them by warning them because they are breaking the rules as they are angry, at that case I would temporary ban them for 12 hours with the reason saying that they should calm down, this would prevent me from temporary banning people because they are angry and say and do stupid stuff in there anger.

I think another admin such as myself would bring the community up, and improve the quality of the players gametime here on ZARP DarkRP.

I would also be able to freeze the servers props which is a great command that could come in need when there is no admins online incase the server lags.

Using the physgun to move people is also a great tool, to be able to quickly move away a mutant examplewise that is going rampage and RDM'ing a lot of people, so he won't do as much damage by me moving him away as quickly as possible.

Removing random placed props around the map, is also a thing I have seen so that is something I would do aswell as a admin.

Noclip my way around the map looking for rule breakers, I am daily going around checking bases but I don't feel that I want to interrupt people going inside their headquarters and disturbing to check that everything is according to the rules, therefore noclip would be a great resource to have as an admin.

Spectate would also be a brilliant tool to have, as I would be able to spectate people who I think will break rules, or that has broken rules before and I wan't to keep an eye on him so he doesen't do it again.

There is so many things why I would like to return to become an admin, and these are some of them that I listed.

I hope you guys enjoyed my application, and incase you have any questions or suggestion on my application feel free to post down below!

Thank you guys!
