What is Ghosting? and give an example: Ghosting is anything a DEAD user does that has influence on the game.
This can be but is not limited to the use of the voicechat and the textchat.
The easiest example here would be telling which portal is the safe one AFTER he died in the other portal. If he would have done that as he is alive it would be totally fine. But since he died its ghosting and should be punished with a verbal warning in case he is a new player, or a warning if he is "experienced". I above said that it is not limited to the server chats. Thats right. Steam chats, skype and etc could also be used but we do not have any control over those, so i didn't include them here.

How would you deal with a disrespectful player?: First of all what is disrespect? Disrespect in my opinion is any content, those may be words or even sprays, that offend another player (Read this topic by Jack (Stratiic), it helps: www.zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/24-2-...-i-d-like-to-clarify)
To deal with this properly needs the help if the offended player. If its confirmed disrespect it deserves a straight up warning, and not even a verbal warning. This is behavior that is straight up not tolerated.

Why I should be chosen: Actually this is pretty simple to explain. First i was thinking about creating another "about me" part in this application but i think i will include everything here. This might be a long text so take your time.

Im playing on the Zarp Servers for a very very long time now. So long, i experienced the time were Zarp Deathrun didn't have a pointshop and we all still had fun. At this time even Chris was still the community manager. I played on this Server with my girlfriend that became a moderator at a later point aswell. So i was playing on Zarp, found some friends of which some already were in the Staff team whilst other (Randomdude) joined the team at a later point. Alot of them suggested me to join the Staff team by applying for moderator. But i never saw a reason to do so. The server had good staff and everyone was happy, enjoying the time. Some time later, as Zarp stated to become popular alot of new moderators joined. The caused alot of moderator abuse since Zarp didn't have enough Admins to control the newer staff. At this point i lost the lust on Gmod and Zarp in generall.
Now ~2 years later im back. Alot has changed, the team has changed and THE TEAM HAS CHANGED.

Why me? Good question. Why do I want to be moderator?
I want to be a moderator because i saw alot of people apply for moderator. They are active for some time and either don't know what to do or just stop playing after some weeks. Thats why i want to be moderator. Im a very old and very active player on zarp. I hope that Randomdude and MrBuzzKill can confirm this. I talked and played alot with those 2 (More with Random since he is old aswell) and finally made the dicussion to apply. I simply wanted something to change. I experienced very often that moderators abused theire commands or simply missused them. Of cause in alot of cases they didn't mean to and thats fine. They are learning. But i simply want more to be a more efficient and active staff member. We barely have staff online and night, this leads to the Servers getting empty faster in the later hours. A time i play alot at.

So this basically is my story and my application. I hope it wasnt to hard to understand. I kinda have a problem organizing long texts.

Greetings Treck0

PS: If you have any questions about me or my history message me or comment here. Im up for talks.

EDIT: Something i forgot to mention at all because I didn't think it would matter is that i have alot of admin experience aswell so i for example know most of the common commands and how to use them and use them efficiently.
I also have deep reaching technical and computer based knowledge and experience.

Great Application, Amazing activity and gametime and generally a nice guy. I always see him on the servers and he contacts me daily about rulebreakers and other server related issues. I'll check your warnings later.

You have my

You have a great application and gametime
But Like Fluffy mentioned, you go afk a lot. You also have a bad attitude, and can be arrogant sometimes, you really likes to argue with the admins and players.
You have a recent warning (Death avoiding)

Very Active
Great Application
Nice guy

Recent warns
And
Alot of the time afk

Pro's :

-Great App
-Great Playtime

Cons :

-you afk a lot

-some areas that are exploiting you argue about
-had other staff members saying that you have caused them problems
-last warning was 11/6/15

For now it's a from me.

Like polsee said, sort these issues out and it will be a +Support

Polsee wrote: I guess that happens if you are AFK while Polsee is online. I was by no means Death Avoiding i was simply afk.

The reason for my high afk time is that im very often one of the first players to do die. So i go and watch videos which makes it very hard to hear a new round starting. There is a nice little Deathrun Plugin that makes every new round get announced by a nice and calm sounding countdown. It ensures that no players (including me) miss the new round. Also a big cause for this is the AntiAFK. Its set to a very high time (round about 10 minutes) so that it doesn't even prevent AFKing.
Thanks for the feedback in all of the cases anyway.

Even so, you have been told about this on several occasions. It is easy to check back every now and then to see when the round is starting. Or not to watch a video on full volume.

Great game time and equally as good activity.

The downside is that i have seen you AFK a few times which results in your game time not being a true reflection on yourself.
Your recent warn for death avoid can possible be overlooked but that will be further discussed in the meeting.

overall i think your a good guy on the server and in my opinion i think you would be a good edition to the staff team.



glad you decided to make an app and good luck.

"Hey Polsee! You wanna see something?" Poof disconnects. You we're death and i had won the round, then you disconnects shortly after. I know what happened, so it's not a invalid warning.

Polsee wrote:
Im sorry but this didn't happen. But feel free to upload proofs to show me otherwise. Untill you did that I will just take this as an bad accusation. I just came back from watching a video and thats the second i got warned for Death Avoiding.

i would advise the pair of you to stop arguing on this app.

like i have stated the warning can be further discussed in the meeting.

I heard every thing from the mods and I get there reasons on why they are concerned about you attitude. I'm not gonna change it now as the way you have acted upon this.

good luck any ways.

People's opinions can change nothing big about it.
Trying to find all the problems at the staff members won't take you anywhere.

You're making a too big deal of it. There is no need to cause drama.

Treck0, what did your last post achieve? You are showing someone change their opinion based on your behavior in game WHILE you are applying of moderator. Stop trying to make Fluffy look bad. He's entitled to change his feedback.

Anyone listen to Bickels? No? Just me eh?

Anyways from this point, this discussion needs to stop.
The people before me have given their opinions and so can carry their opinions in the meeting and see not to continue.

Otherwise, I will start deleting posts.

He's contacted me multiple times about both players & staff breaking the rules/abusing. He's happy to help in whatever way he can and I believe he would make a good addition to the staff team. Also, you all claim he's constantly AFK in-game but I've seen quite a few you go AFK on the server (and re-join after being kicked to then go AFK). Also, it's not entirely Treck0's fault that he was a bit annoyed with Fluffy's feedback - they said that they'd support him and then did the opposite - if I was in his position I'd be quite salty as well. (Clearly Fluffy hadn't seen enough of Treck0 and therefore changed his decision). However, you do have a recent warning and therefore I will stay neutral (my opinion may easily changed throughout the course of this week).
