Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
So first of all on this
3 weeks i learned alot! If its about myself or about other people that i helped to. I passed obstacles that wasnt really easy , and helped the most i could. I must to say that this
3 weeks were incredibly amazing meeting more people and helping in-game or even people who asked me for help out of the game and that things made me think about how was the quality of my help to other people. I think i helped very well but i feel that i need something more for me to help even in more ways and more efficient. As mod i felt like i had some limits that didnt allow me to help how i wanted to,
For example: The way to freeze people in time of need or The punishments when a person Leave to Evade Warn and i can't ban him.. Ect.. That things made me think that i could help even more with the Admin rank.
Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user):
I will start with a normal obstacle that the Moderators can't handle with Alone:
The LTAP (Leaving To Avoid Punishment) So basically Some times im the only connected staff in the server due to my Time Zone (At night) and at that time i find alot of rulebreaking and when im about to handle with that they for example LEAVE and that user can rejoin anytime until someone connects to ban him (Because i cant).
An obstacle that was hard for me:
Before some days (Late at night) there was a group of friends that decided to come troll the server. So they all were police officers and started to: Break nlr & Kill other police. after i got some reports of that people i decided to go on duty and follow them some time to see what they doing. After i saw them all breaking nlr i went to them and told them about what they are doing , as some of them didnt knew what was nlr , but some others were just ignoring it. (They were like 8 people) after telling them to do not do that again i kept handling other reports until i started to get more and more from them. And it started to be Prop push , Prop Climb. So i went another time to them and tried to freeze them as they were all running ( That was hard as i needed to freeze 1 , 1) after finally frozing them and warning the people i needed to warn , one of them started spaming racist adverts and rdaing people, I took him for a talk and he left the server after RDMing , RDAing.
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?:
Congratulations PLAYER! Welcome to the Staff Team!
I want to let you know that being moderator is not hard, But its not easy as well. So i took my time and did for you a "Guide" of the commands that you will be using so you could start to familiarize with them. On each command you will see: What it does & For what you could use it or in which situation.
Before starting i want to tell you that for all this commands you can access by the TAB Menu (Except the "warn" command), (Clicking on a player) And you will see them there Like this:
Or just type them in chat with "/" For example:
This command is used to
Teleport someone to the position where your
Mouse is looking at.
Examples:
In chat, /tp user |
In TAB, you Select the player and press the TELEPORT button. This command is used alot in many ways. one of them could be: Teleport someone to a roof to
handle his REPORT
With this command you can take people back to the place they were
before you teleported them.
Example: You teleported Player A by
accident so you can do /back Player A or his STEAMID in chat , to teleport him to the same place he was before.
Mute Globally command is used to mute Player's voice for a Certain time or until you unmute them. You can do that by the TAB menu or in chat as /voicemute steamid time or /voiceunmute steamid to Unmute him.
Example of this command: If you see a player micspamming and he refuses to stop you can Mute his voice for 10 Mins or The time you considerate appropiate. (If you mute him Indefinitely dont forget to unmute him after you think he can Use his Mic again.
This command is
like the one mentioned before But the difference is that this one
Applies on chat. You can access by TAB or Type in chat: /chatmute
steamid time and /unmutechat steamid to Unmute him.
The kick command
disconnects a player from the server for a reason. You should be careful with this command as it not usually used and should be used Correctly. To kick you can Access to the command from TAB or in chat by doing: /
kick steamid reason. You can use this command for
example in this case:
Player a is
propblocking spawn and after you asked from him to remove the props he
refuses and there is no admins online. Then you can kick him for PropBlock,
as there is no admins to remove the props.
(You will be shown how to contact other Staffs shortly)
Unban from Job is used to Unban a user from a job that he got
demoted or
Banned. Before unbanning someone from a job ,
Make sure that the user wasn't banned by an admin for a reason,
To unban from job you should go to the TAB menu and select the job you want to unban him/her from.
Example of use: If a player got Random Demoted you can
unban him
from the Job he got demoted.
This command can be used by Chat
(/freeze steamid or Player) or by the
TAB Menu. Basically what it does it
Freeze for
example if he:
Mass RDMing and you want to stop him,
Running from a Sit, or doing things that you know they are
Inappropiate to Unfreeze the player you can do it by the
TAB Menu or type
/unfreeze steamid
As the rest of the commands this one could help you to apply "LIGHT Punishment"
if the player broke a Rule like:
Big Gun as Citizen And he refuses to drop or holster you can do
/slay steamid , to remove the weapons he had on.
As
Staff Member you will see that when you press F1
it wont open you the normal report menu, it going to open the
Zarp Administrative Center which is a menu that you going to use alot.
That menu looks like this:
How you can see, the menu has 4 TABS:
Admin Requests: This tab is used to Handle people's reports, When you right click a report you will have 3 Options:
-
You can Handle the report
-
Discard as spam or abuse (If player random opening reports or abusing them)
-
Copy player's information (SteamID , Reason of the report , Time)
Also you can see the Priority of the report, the Reason And who is handling it.
After you press on
Handle this you will have
different options on the Player who reported:
Bring and Goto commands are very similiar to the teleport commands we saw before, but the difference is:
When you bring the player he will be teleported next to you (Not where you looking like TP) And when you Goto a player it will tp you to him.
After you handled the report
dont forget to mark it as finished.
Warnings: This Tab is used to see all the players that got warned , from who , and why.
If you accidentally
warned someone wrong you can
Unwarn him by Right clicking at the warn you gave and
Unwarn (You can only unwarn people that had been warned by you!)
Logging:
At this tab you will see all the logs of the server (Who joined&Left, Who killed who, If someone died breaking nlr ect..) You can use this tab to know for example who killed who in a sit or depend on the case..
Active NLR: This TAB is used to see who has Active NLR, Where and Until what time
Now how you contact other Staffs? To contact other staff that are online you can type in chat: @ And your message Example:
Before starting to warn RuleBreakers you should meet your last menu:
The Punishments Menu (F6)
If you press F6 another menu will open, What you do in that menu?
This menu will serve to See people's Punishments.
This menu looks like this:
If you click on
Select Player you can choose from what player you want to see the punishments for example if i choose a Name you will see something like this:
You can see:
Date,
Type of punishment(Warn,Jail,Voice Muted, Chat Muted, Banned&Unbanned),
The Reason And
the admin who gave the punishment |
You can also copy any warning log by right clicking on the warning and select what you want to copy.
And now the last command, the Warn: This command will allow you to warn people you just need to type /warn (steamid) (reason)
I hope this was useful to you, and dont forget that you can always ask any staff if you are not sure about something. I also recommend to read the Staff ethos: Click here
Good Luck!
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
NAME! You seem to be really sorry about what you have done and i saw this is your
First Ban so I decided to give you a
Second chance, That means that your ban appeal is
Please don't forget to give a read to the Rules as we do not want from that to happen again! Rules:

Why I should be promoted (we recommend around 150 words):
I've been in
ZARP a long time and im a very
active staff. I am
dedicated for the staff rank , And always try to attend meetings
even if there is a problem. I want to say that i
really enjoy being
Moderator and it allowed me to help a lot! As i said in my Mod application i Love to help and this was an extremelly awesome opportunity to let me help people with their RP Problems or even in other things. I enjoy helping and i pass the most of my time as Mod on Duty , Watching there is no rulebreak in the server and Handling people's reports. Im really friendly and i always interact the most with the users to show them that they are not alone, And that the staff team will be always there for them if there is any problem. I think i did a good job over this time and I feel that with the admin rank i could help in better ways. I could for Example:
Control the LTAP and As sometimes im the only staff online (My Timezone) to remove propblock without need of kicking. I feel that i need this to help in more Efficient ways and increase my helping in server if its Handling ban appeals or Banning if Needed. At my time as moderator i think i shown that i never use any Opportunity of my Rank to abuse in any way, And i respect and go by the way of the Staff Ethos and i also do
Quack sounds(Anna loves them). I think its a great opportunity for me.
Thanks everyone for reading!
