How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:

Ever since i became a staff member on this server i have been deticated to my duties. With the experience i have gained and the knowledge i have about the rules, TOU and the ethos, i think im allowed to say that i know how to properly handle evry situation in game. Im already using my experience and knowledge to help other staff members out (especially the new mods).

Even though this was the first time i became a staff member i have never encountered any serieus problems (i think my worst mistakes are missclicking and typing mistakes). The reason this was possible is because i put effort in evrything i do. I always make sure to check evrything possible and i won't finish something before the people involved understand evrything about the situation. Whenever im not sure about something i always ask other staff members for advice/help.

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? :

Activity

I think my activity shows how deticated i am to the Zarp and especially the TTT server. From the moment i became a staff member i haven't missed a day on the server. Besides having an outstanding time on the server i have been very active on the forums and on TS. Im always reading the TTT related applications and after checking all the factors i give my opinion, when necessary i give some feedback (for ex a mistake in his app). Whenever my pc is on im on teamspeak, most of the time im socialising with other staff members and users but when im not i just make sure people can contact me. Im sure i don't have to explain to the people in the LT that the time you put in the server isn't close to the time you put in zarp as a whole.

Experience

Even though i have only been a staff member for about a month and a half i feel like it has been more due to the amount of time i spend with zarp related things. I have done a big amount of reports on the server and all of them i did with care. I feel like i have experience with almost evry situation that occurs on the server and im able to efficiently use all the commands in the right scenarios. I have also done a decent amount of appeals (quite alot actually compared to the amount of TTT related appeals) and i think i did a pretty good job at handeling them.

Leadership

When another staff member needs help im already fulfilling the position as a leader and i use my experience to guide the person and make sure he understands evrything and does the right thing. Im not very harsh but i always indicate mistakes of staff members and confront them with it so they know what they did wrong and are able to improve. Whenever a staff member breaks a rule or he is abusing his powers i always make sure to take proof and bring this to a LT member, these things show that i am already taking the responsibility of a leader when necessary and that i can handle the position. Besides all of that i have already proven that i am mature and have some strong qualities of a leader.

I wasn't sure where to put this so ill just leave it here:

Evrybody has an opinion and i think one of my stong points is that i will fight to convince people that im right, this could be a negative thing but i only fight to be right when i really feel it madders. Some examples would be that i wrote a detailed reply on the "dna rule post" to explain people what i think should be changed and also why, i tried to convince people to share the same opinion and now the rule has been changed (of coarse this isn't because of me but i do believe that my actions helped to make it happen). Another example would be that when the outcome of a vote during a meeting is something i personnaly can't accept then i make an objection and try to convince people, i have changed the outcome of a vote multiple times by doing this.

Meetings

Since i became a mod i haven't missed a single meeting and i try to be as active as possible in them. I always read the applications and reply like i have arleady mentioned, i try to follow the users that apply in-game to see how their attitude is. By doing these things im prepared in the meeting and im able to provide importing information about the users if necessary. I have done the spreadsheet before and im definitely willing to help with anything else during the meeting. When i don't agree with something i make an objection like i mentioned aswell.

Extra

I have proven that i can be trusted as i have never abused my powers or leaked anything.
I am a very friendly person and that is why i have a good relation with many users and staff members, many people contact me for help wich i am happy to provide.
You could say im a little bit autistic but once i start something i will keep working on it untill it is done correctly, i always check evrything possible and sometimes even more then once because i just can't have the feeling that i forgot something or made a mistake.

Something im working on:


Explain a situation as an administrator you encountered that was an obstacle that required the help of a lead team member but you had to work around it when no lead team member was available:

I have been in a situation where i would need to do a cheating check on somebody but that wasn't possible because their was no LT member available, by the time a LT member is available the person is already gone or removed the possible cheats.

The same thing goes when you tell a staff member he made a mistake or you try to calm people down when they are having an argument. It is always better to be a SA+ in those scenarios as they will trust you more and take it more serieus.

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:


After adressing that i will handle the case i would read the post multiple times and check the evidence to make sure i understand what the victem experienced. I would then contact the staff member and confront him with the situation. After he explains his side of the story their are multiple possible outcomes:

-Their is no proof and the staff member denies the story, in this case i would have to believe the staff member and deny report.

-The staff member admits his mistake or their is valid evidence to proof that the staff member made a mistake, in this case the report would get accepted.

When a report gets accepted and the staff member diden't lie and its the first time i would just explain him how to handle it in the future and keep it to a verbal warning (and mention it in the LT meeting so evrybody knows about it). When the member lied and/or it happend multiple times i would make sure it gets brought up in the lead team meating to make sure their are consequences for his actions. If a staff member did something horribly wrong it is possible that i would have to take away his powers untill the meeting.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member bans a user for an excessive amount of time, how do you approach the staff member to ensure that everyone is treated fairly?

At first i would check the reason the person was banned and his F6 menu to know how many times he has been banned in the past. I would then contact the staff member who banned the person through Teamspeak or steam and let him explain why he banned the person for so long.

After he gave his reasons i would explain him that the reason we ban people is because they aren't following the rules/are ruing the experience of user, the purpose of the ban is to make sure they realise what they are doing wrong and improve their attitude when them come back. Banning somebody for an excessive amount of time won't help to realise this purpose. I would also explain how long he should punish people for certain situations and to take the F6 menu in account when chosing how long the user should be banned.

I would then tell him to remove or reduce the ban depending on multiple factors. To close out i would tell him to contact other staff members when he isn't sure about something and to use the ethos as a guide.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation :
A staff member is dealing with a user but is struggling to do so in an appropriate manner. How would you resolve the situation?

If i notice a staff member struggling i would instantly contact them through admin chat, steam or TS. At first i would ask him if he needs help and:

- If he sais no i would ask him how he is planning on handeling the case and if necessary i will correct him and explain how the situation should be handled. After that i would just observe and see if the situation gets handled correctly.

- If yes i would show him how to handle the case and explain evrything i do and why i do it.

The main goal would be that i know this steff member has learned and will be able to handle these types of situations in the future.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member accuses another staff member of breaking rules, how would you help resolve the situation?

I would talk to both staff members separately to hear both stories, then i would bring them together to discuss the situation and the possible differences in the stories.

If their is no proof and the accused member doesn't admit then to start i would explain the mistake that the accusing member gave even though their is no proof the accused member did/diden't make the mistake. By doing this the accused member knows what he did wrong in case he did in fact make the mistake.After that i would thank the accusing member for reporting this and i would advice him to record his gameplay to make sure he has proof in the future. The following days/weeks i would probably keep an extra eye out on the accuded member.

If their is proof i woud thank the accusing member for his effort and for reporting this and take the accused player separately to discuss the problem with him. If it isn't anything major and/or it is his first time then i would just explain him what he did wrong and give him a verbal warning (ofc i would mension this in the lt meeting aswell so evrybody knows about the situation). If this is a serieus problem and/or it isn't the first time this member did something wrong then i would discuss with the other LT members what we should do.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member acts in a disrespectful manner towards another staff member and or sparks an argument within the staff team. How do you resolve the situation?

I would take both staff members in to a chat on either ts or steam. It is importing to know for which reason it started and to know if they were both being disrespectful towards each other or only one member towards the other. I would then tell the people involved that this kind of behavior isn't expected from a staff member and it doesn't get taken lightly.

After making sure the disrespectful staff member(s) are calm and they know they should never behave like that i would let them apologize to the victem staff member and make sure the argument is solved and they can continue their job on good terms.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation :
You spot a staff member breaking rules to the point of harming other users, how do you approach the staff member?

First of all i would make sure im recording or take some sceens to support myself when i confront the staff member about it and to show in the LT meeting if necessary. I would then instantly stop him from breaking the rules and force him to come talk to me. If any user(s) was affected by his rule breaking i would apologize and promise the user(s) that i will deal with the situation.

If the staff member diden't realise he was breaking the rules i would still be very strict as a staff member should know the rules and NEVER break them. I would warn the staff member and explain the rule he broke. I would bring this up in the LTM so evrybody knows about what happend and to decide if any action should be taken.

When the member wasn't breaking the rules on accident and the problem was severe i would take his powers away untill the meeting and contact another LT member to discuss if any other immediate action should be taken. If it wasn't very severe i would warn the member and make sure he knows what he did wrong, i would keep an eye on him and bring it up in the LTM to discuss what should happen.

Thank you for those who made the effort to read this as it took a while to make this.

I made this all by myself which means their will be grammar mistakes even though i did my best to fix them all, i think you should be able to understand evrything but if i did write some incomprehensible things feel free to ask me.

Give me all the feedback you can give, even if you support me their will always be things i could improve on and i need your feedback to improve!
