I speak English and some Banter.

Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin.
I was a moderator for roughly a month in which i view this time as a "trial" for new staff members. This "trial" throws moderators in a whole set of situations where they have to learn how to deal with new and upcoming problems and how to fix them. Most of all have a new level of patience. I was an admin for quite a wile as well before resigning thinking I was going to continue to be inactive. This obviously was not the case.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around.
I will not give any specific situation here, as it is putting a spotlight on one situation that does not and will not determine the rest of your staff experience. I will, however, shed light on the fact that every day that you are on and hosting events, doing F1's, or even sorting through simple player issues, you are going to get that "one guy" or two of the day. Each time you have to handle it to the best of your ability and with all of the patience you have; they usually have not been in your position and probably don't know how things run or how the system works for staff among many other things. No matter the cost be polite, courteous, and patient with angry players. and COVER YOUR A**.

If you had to write a facebook post to train a moderator in between 200-300 words, what would you say to give them the full grasp?
There will always be staff on to ask for help, so I won't go through the whole shpeel of how to teleport, ban, etc. A few simple rules will suffice here; DO NOT teleport every player on the server. Sure it causes temporary lag, sure it causes people to freak out, and YES it is a big deal. It DOES however give the staff team a bad rep, and remember; even if there are only 28 players online, that is 28 stories that they are going to go tell their friends. Also remember to never stop improving, both professionally and characteristically. As long as you do what you are supposed to do, help out, ask and answer questions, and improve the players of the ZARP community, you will be one happy camper.

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?
First of all, this is highly situational. The player has to show improvement in the areas lacked in beforehand, show remorse, and actually WANT to be a part of ZARP. That is just the tip of the iceberg as we all know. Of course players that dont want to be here will weed themselves out.


Well, ZARP family. As we all know, you need a certain level of minge to make it to moderator. You need to be mingey AND quick on your feet to make admin. LORD KNOWS what the SA's had to do to get where they are...(ask the bigwigs I am sure they have a story or two of some admins and moderators "making it big"). I feel like I have minged plenty enough for the both of us, and will eventually reach a minge of over 9000. All in the name of great banter of course. Anywho guys you know I love ya and will be sticking around AT LEAST Teamspeak. If you don't make me Admin I won't take it personal, I will just tie you to the radiator and grape you. Ah I would still come around all the time of course.

Regards- Hampered

Why would you say that in an application where you're supposed to be professional...?

Second, did you even get permission to apply straight for admin after you resigned?

Ah just some personal touches to those who know me through Dark RP, nothing more, nothing less. Either way I show my wisdom and knowledge of how a moderator OR admin is supposed to act in-game. And yes RedWingz, I got permission from Dcx/Chuteuk. Talk to either of them, though I do not know who they may have talked to. I resigned only a week ago due to my inactivity recently, only to realize that I only have a few games that I DO play; ZARP (I consider it my other game, not gmod) being my 3rd.

I hope that this somewhat satisfies your curiosity as to why this "random" guy HAMPERED just posts an admin thread vs going through the ladder as most do. I have been here a little bit, man!

Hampered was a great admin. he handled all situations well and is a friendly guy. he should get a shot at admin and I will go for a +Support
I can see your activity spike and I believe you are going to become more active by your game tracker. just keep activity good and I think you are fine. Also I like your application is clear and straight to the point.

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.
