[SSRP Moderator] Michael Smiths application 9 years 1 month ago #212309

RP Name:
Michael Smith

Link to Steam Profile :
steamcommunity.com/id/zarpmichael

SteamID:
STEAM_0:1:67719896

Current Gametracker Profiles:

SSRP 1 (Only been on this one) "Click Here"

Lost around 30+ hours due to not getting any kills due to being Drug Dealer or Gun Dealer so gametracker did not update a few times over the past few weeks but now I have realised should not lose anymore.

SSRP 2 (Not been on) - "Click Here"

Age:
18

Estimated Server Time:
150 hours

Languages I speak:
English

Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:

RDM is when someone randomly kills another player. RDM / Random Death Match is one of the most common rule breaks in DarkRP. RDM would usually be dealt with a warn or if the users RDM's in large numbers then a small to medium ban should be issued. Repeat offences of single RDM should result in a warn each time and if multiple mass RDM's are carried out then a perma ban should be issued. For a direct example, Player X kills Player Y when he was building his shop for no reason other than he wanted to build there..

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario:

New life rule or NLR is when a user returns to the place of death within the time limit set by the server owner. For Zarp this is 3 minutes and with Zarp it is done by districts instead of a single place of death. An example would be Dave killed Bob in a raid, Bob gets mad and returns back to his base before the timer was up. A NLR break is usually dealt with a simple warning. Repeat offences should result in more warnings or a small ban.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario:

On normal servers metagaming is when someone uses in game specifics or ooc chat to reveal information that the player should not know example a players job. A example of this if a person said a user is a theif without actually witnessing them stealing. But with Zarp, metagaming is when users do not use the right chat channels to communicate. OOC is for out of character and IC is for in character. An example would be when a gun dealer is begging people to visit his gun shop using OOC.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:

Player x accuses player y for RDMing him, the console log shows that player y killed player x.

In this situation I would bring both users to a area which no one was currently present which would usually be a rooftop and ask both of them to explain the situation, If there was a proper story behind it along with some proof or evidence, I would work out if either party should get a warn or if it was a direct RDM with proof then I will issue player Y with a warning. If there was a misunderstanding or something of that sort then a verbal warning will be issued.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:

Player x accuses player y for breaking NLR, the kills are pretty close together in console (a few lines apart) at a peak time.

Even though it is a peak time I would still listen to the story and see if there is any extra proof or evidence to support it. If it was clearly a NLR rule break then a warn or verbal warning will be issued depending on the situation.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:

Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided

Player X is metagaming by saying he is being raided by using OOC. Raiding is a in game roleplay action so should only be spoke about using the IC, Advert or Me channels. I would explain to him that he is metagaming and if he does not know what that is then I will explain the rule of metagaming.

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

I have been owner and administrator of many servers but I would like to expand my knowledge and begin another life with the zarp community. I have 3 years experience in administrating and owning servers. I am dedicated and well prepared for any situation. I am mature and will deal with any problems in a serious manner but I will also listen to what people have to say. After being on countless other servers, this is one of the most exciting and interesting servers I have been on and it is by far the most fantastic with the amount of custom content so it would be a pleasure to help keep the server clean. I see so many rule breakers, I report whenever I can but sometimes reporting is not enough. With the power of moderator it will make it easier to help fight rule breakers and on another note it would be a pleasure to work along side the dedicated administration team of Zarp.

Update: 20/10 - I was falsely warned by (Brother) Zenternal for RDM which I am not sure is still on my record as it was removed. He thought it was me who killed someone randomly but it was the person behind me, he did not check the logs and straight up warned me, after explaining to him and him checking the logs the warning was removed.

Thanks everyone for reading and thanks for this fantastic community!

Hello, the RDM warning from yesterday was removed straight away as it was not me who did it (Brother Zenternal did not check the logs before warning me) after I explained it was the person behind me he checked the logs and removed the warn you can check my warns again if you want to.

The warn for the DDOS threat was not towards the server but towards a player who was rule breaking and I did not know how to submit a report plus it was only a troll and a muckaround. Ddosing is something I would never do which I explained this to you and I was sincerely apologetic for making a threat and I will never say anything like that again. That was the first time I joined Zarp, I was new to the rules, new to the systems in place and it was before I decided I wanted to be a part of the community and I have changed since then look above at all of the support I have gotten. I have been kind, friendly and helpful towards everyone. You must not have met me in game since then. But thank you for your time to review my app anyway :)

DDoS threats are no more serious that disrespect. I'm sure people will concur with the notion that unless you actually try and execute a DDoS attack on someone, or incite others to do so maliciously, it's not that serious. A joke is a joke. DDoS threats are used for the most part in passing conversation as a joke, it shouldn't be taken as more than that. It's one blemish on an otherwise perfect record, this user is willing, ready and certainly dedicated enough to the server.

I'm going to assume the warning was removed?

@Exrobite - I completely agree with you.

Nonetheless, you shouldn't be joking about DDos.
The warn for the DDOS threat was not towards the server but towards a player who was rule breaking and I did not know how to submit a report plus it was only a troll and a muckaround.
Doesn't make a difference as you directed the DDos threat to the player and instead should have been calm about the situation than "trolling".

You're lucky you weren't banned permanently for that.
The warning is a fortnight old, and after-all you did indeed improve.

Yeah I am lucky that is was not a perma, that was my first or second day on Zarp like I said so I did not know about the servers rules, support systems or anything and like I said I am extremely sorry for making that threat which at that time I did not know the impact and just said it to stop the player from rulebreaking but of course I don't even know how to use ddos. But I have tried hard since then to improve, I am a fast learner, this is my third moderator application already and I have absorbed all of the feedback and opinions everyone has said and tried to better myself from it. Without the negative from the ddos post I would of had perfect +support but at least I have cleared that up with the moderator who warned me and I am deeply sorry that I got in that situation.

Really great to see a friendly community and support from players and staff, never mind the feedback given by everyone which so far has helped me to develop and to fully develop my understanding of the rules.

Thank you everyone who has taken there time to read my application and help assist me in becoming a Moderator. It would be a pleasure to assist this community in anyway possible if given the opportunity :)

Hi Jordan, if you read above at my post(s) the warning for the RDM was not valid and was removed as the Moderator who did the warning was quick to react and warned me when it was the person behind me and this was removed straight away. The DDOS warn was three weeks ago now and I have learned from my mistakes and I have bettered myself since then and improved my knowledge massively on the rules and systems on the server.

Thanks again everyone for taking time to read and review my application.

Thanks for applying for staff at ZARP DarkRp! During our weekly staff meeting your application, question answers, game trackers and in-game warnings are checked and then the staff team votes on your application.

This time, the staff team have decided that you still need to work on your application and then apply again next week. To try and help you they have summarised some positives & negatives discussed during the meeting:
