TOPIC: Zarp Mentoring

Server Name:
SSRP

Suggestion Title:
Mentoring for Moderators

How would it benefit the server:
Lessen mistakes made by new moderators, take pressure from the lead team.

Offer administrators chances to display their leadership skills, therefor giving the lead team some more facts while voting on lead team applications.

Help moderators grow into well trained and experienced staff members.

Quick responses to any questions, more questions asked due to there being less barriers between staff members.("You didn't know that? You are a bad staff member!")

Instant feedback on handled F1s, rapid improvment in staff situations.

Potential Issues/Exploits:
Taking off administrators for some time, therefor the quantity of F1s done in a certain time might be a little lower. But the quality of the F1s might very well be better overall.

Additional notes:
So my suggestion is that after recieving training from a lead team member each moderator is assigned one administrator who observes said moderator during his first 20-30 sits and after this time is always open for questions regarding staffing.
Often times the training is quick and not everything is clear to the newly made moderators. Therefor an admin who has already made his experiences could jump in and assist the lead team by mentoring his assigned moderator. He would be present during the moderators first sits and carefully correct any mistakes, assist with questions and form the moderator to become a great member of the Zarp Staff team. This would cause minimal effort to implement and could increase the quality of F1s dramatically.

Thanks for reading this suggestion,

Oh well you can do that right now if you wish.

As soon as the training ends it is our duty as Lead Team to watch over the mods for their first few F1s and tell them do's and dont's.

From my experience after a mod finishes training he is told to get those F1s done and sometimes left alone with his first few admin sits. The presence of an experienxed staff member could positivley affect the quality of F1s done by the moderator mentored. Do to your numbers as lead team you oftentimes have to focus on the bigger picture and there might be a high demand for you elsewhere. An admin can easily
spend 1 hour helping out a specific moderator.

Used to happen, as said before, Lead Team do constantly look over you to make sure you make no mistakes.

Shoutout to HellForce. The best mentor.

I would love some mre feedback.

Lead team members usually watch the new moderator for about 10minutes to see how they are getting on. I like this idea though but it should be optional to be a mentor.

But yes the lead team usually doesnt have the man power and the time to spectate you longer then a few minutes.

Lead Team already do this but you can also do it without suggesting it

This should be happening either way if a moderator is in need of help people of the same rank and above should help them and teach them how to handle something, this has already been happening across all the server so I don't reckon this is needed as a suggestion

Pegasus reply to my question , or somehow communicate with me , I wish to be un-banned because it seems although he's feeding you false info.
( This isn't related sorry. )

And what happens in the event if that admin is just or even more shit at being staff than the person he is spectating?
Just leave it to the LT.
