How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator:
After applying for TTT moderator 1 year and 2 months ago and collecting a total admin time of over 8 months I feel like I have gathered enough experience with helping other people and handling reports ingame and on the forums. With recently acquiring the Surf SA rank I know I am ready to be a Super Admin on TTT too.

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want):

I joined zarp over one year ago now and started playing with TTT where I am still stuck until now. In this time I've gathered a total of almost 700 hours of server time and have managed to rank on the top 10 all time server score list. Over the last month I've also managed to acquire quite a bit of activity on Teamspeak and on the Forums and instead of only reading every topic I tend to also post on most of them where I feel like its still needed and something is added.

My attitude is always calm and not only ingame, but also in real life it is almost impossible to make me mad or getting me to rage. I feel like this is very important while staffing as users often try to test us. Otherthan that I'm also always nice and try to help users and fellow staff where I can.

As sad before I have been staff on zarp for quite a time now, starting with being accepted for TTT mod 1 year and 2 months ago. Since then I'v held Super admin rank on Surf and Admin rank on Deathrun and TTT giving me a lot of experience in handling Appeals, Punishment requests, users and reports.

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:
The main problem TTT admins have is when a hacker joins as we can't directly do something about it. If this happens I try to get some Leadteam member online and while doing so spectate the suspected player and record his movements so he atleast gets punished after the meeting.

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
I would first speak with the staff member and the user doing the request getting the full story of both sides and look at the evidence.
Accepted:


Denied:


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?
I would speak with the staff member and see if he had a reason to do so, if not I'd tell the staff member to not be as strict as we want people to enjoy the server. Afer making sure he doesn't do the same mistake again, I would lower the users ban to an appropiate time.

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?
I would jump inbetween the two and try to calm the staff member and maybe user down. Then I would guide the staff member through the report and show him how to do so appropiately so it doesn't repeat.

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 speak with both the staff members and would handle it in a similiar way to an report. I would look at the evidence and come to an outcome. If the report is valid I would speak with the staff member and tell him how to do so correclty and bring it up in the LT meeting. If he didn't do a mistake I would re explain the rule to the other staff member making sure he understands it.

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 speak with both the staff members causing the drama and try to help them solve their situation as we always want a nice and calm atmosphere within the staff team, since as just said we should be a team and not a bunch of lonely fighters.

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?
I would try to speak with the staff member and get him to stop. If he doesn't react I would feel the need to emergency demote him and in either case bring it up in the next LT meeting.

I feel like you should give your application another look at, as it’s a bit short and it has some grammar mistakes (not that grammar actually matters). I cannot really comment too much on how you’re performing as an Administrator ATM, but since you asked me for feedback, I figured I’d at least explain the main two points I looked for in future Super Administrators from the recommended tasks (although you could technically say that the first one covers all of the tasks).

The ability to take initiative, as I do not want a Lead Team member who will just kind of "be there" and only do things when told to (be outgoing and try to learn and improve on as much as you can, this still counts even if you’re accepted). There’s a list with recommended tasks to do when going for Super Administrator, while they’re not requirements (yet at least) they’re still good things to do as it's a great way of showing that you can go “above and beyond, in addition it could strengthen your, experience, helpfulness, trust, dedication, etc.

Meeting presence and activity, as the meetings are very important as a Lead Team member. The applicant does not have to 24/7 but at least give us their opinion on most/each of the Moderator & administrator applicants during the meeting (it doesn’t matter if it’s just some “basic” information like *they have good activity*, *their application is good*, *they’re a great person*, etc.). This extends can extend to TeamSpeak activity/interacting with the Lead Team as well, which is important as it’s the best way for them to figure out what kind of a person you are, and so on. There’s obviously a lot of other things I looked for, but these two were the main ones.
