Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
I'm online most of the night on both Server 1 and Server 3 (Occasionally Server 2 as well), and I feel like I'm covering most of the "night-shift" when it comes to F1s. I have contacts on Steam that message me if a rule break occurs on another server, so I'm pretty much covering all servers at night. In the daytime, I'm a little bit less active, mostly due to me being asleep at that time because of my current sleep schedule. However, I usually try to get in the F1s that I can before going to sleep/at the time of when I wake up.

Considering all that I'd say it would very well contribute to my promotion since I think having certain permissions that are off-limits to moderators will further improve my ability to have quicker and better F1s, thus clearing the server of more F1s faster and giving the Zarp Community an overall better experience.

Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user):
Sometimes there are situations that require me to either delete a prop, sell a door, or other actions that moderators are unable to perform. Another situation I have found myself in previously is having to let go of a rule breaker that very obviously is not going to stop committing rule breaks. I usually end up having to sneak around until I catch their next rule break - and while that works to some extent - it isn't very efficient. Having the ability to spectate would make continuous rule breakers a lot easier to catch.

I am sure I can think of more situations, but these are the ones I find the most significant.

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?:

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 another admin banned them permanently for prop-spam, and that this is their first ban. How would your response to the appeal be?

Firstly, I would look up which admin banned the player, and discuss the reasons behind the ban, and if it perhaps was too harsh taking into consideration the player's Rapsheet.

Depending on the outcome of the discussion, there will be different results. For instance, if the player's intention was to crash the server, and he has attempted this multiple times, I would have a better understanding of the punishment the admin gave the player. However, I will still consider the effort and sincerity of the thread, and discuss further with the admin. If we can get to an agreement to reduce his ban based on the amount of effort and sincerity put into the post, I will accept his appeal and reduce his ban to 3-7 days:



If I cannot get to an agreement with the admin about the person's punishment, or he brings up valid arguments as to why the player shouldn't receive a lesser punishment, I will deny his appeal.



Why I should be promoted(we recommend around 150 words):
I already have a lot of experience as a moderator, not only doing F1s but helping players outside of F1s as well. I made a few mistakes in the beginning, but I've learnt from those mistakes and improved upon myself a lot when it comes to doing things as a moderator, my understanding of the rules and my way of conducting F1s.

Additionally, my efficiency will greatly improve with access to more useful commands and abilities. Things that were hard as a moderator are made a lot easier as an administrator, so it goes without saying that my efficiency will be higher.

Lastly, some administrator tools will help a lot when it comes to certain rule breakers and their way of evading punishments because of insufficient proof, etc. because I am able to spectate and easily catch off-guard rule breakers. This is great so I can better help removing the "low-key" rule breakers on the servers.

[b]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?:[/b][Spoiler=Facebook post]Hello {Name}! Congratulations on your new moderator rank. I'm here to help you understand all the tools and commands you'll be needing in your time as a moderator. I'll start with commands: [b][i][u]Generally, an important thing for all commands is to always use someone's SteamID instead of their name. For instance, when using /goto, do not use the player's name (/goto Rick Johnson), and instead use their SteamID (/goto STEAM_0:0:62875951). We do this to avoid, for example, teleporting to the wrong person, falsely warning another individual, etc.[/u][/i][/b] [b]Teleportation:[/b] [b]/tp [/b]- The teleportation command is one of the most essential commands for a moderator. This command is used to teleport yourself or another player to wherever your cursor is pointing. In order to teleport yourself, simply write "/tp" in chat. To teleport another player, do /tp (SteamID). A teleportation bind you can use is: [u][i]bind "key" "say /tp"[/i][/u] [b]/goto [/b]- The /goto command is used to go to a player. The correct usage is /goto (SteamID). [b]/bring[/b] - The /bring command is the opposite of the /goto command. This command is used to bring players to you, and the correct usage is /bring (SteamID). [b]/back (or /backspawn)[/b] - Sends a player back to their original location or back to spawn. Correct usage is /back (SteamID) and /backspawn (SteamID). [b]Punishments:[/b] [b]/warn and /unwarn[/b] - The warning command is used to give someone a warning for breaking a rule. This is the most common punishment. Correct usage is /warn (SteamID) (Reason) and /unwarn (SteamID) (Reason) [b]/slay[/b] - Slays/kills the person in question. Correct usage is /slay (SteamID) [b]/kick[/b] - Kicks a player for the server. You should only use this if the player has committed a massive rule breaks, etc. Correct usage is /kick (SteamID). [b]/freeze and /unfreeze[/b] - This command is used to freeze or unfreeze a player. Correct usage: /freeze (SteamID) and /unfreeze (SteamID). [b]F1 Menu:[/b] The F1 menu is the most important tool in your toolbox. The F1 menu lets you handle F1s, view recent warnings, view the logs and see active NLRs. The first tab on the F1 menu is the Admin Requests tab. This tab will show you all active F1s. In order to handle an F1, simply right-click an active F1 and press "Handle," after this, you can right-click again to more effectively goto or bring a player. Once you're finished with the F1, right-click again and press "Mark as finished," and in the case that you are unable to help, press the "Abort" button on the F1 so it is available for any other staff members that are online and may be able to help. The second tab lets you see recent warnings made by other staff members and yourself. This is generally not used a lot but can be handy in case you need to retrieve information about a warn or something along those lines. The third tab is very useful and lets you see all the logs for the server. You can see hits, arrests, kills, NLRs, joins/leaves and team changes. If you want to copy a specific log, right-click and press "Full Log" and it will be saved to your clipboard. The fourth menu is quite simple and lets you see people with active NLRs, their SteamIDs, when the NLR expires and where these NLRs take place. At last, there is an F6 menu that lets you browse and look up punishments for certain SteamIDs Remeber to stay up-to-date with the [url=https://zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/darkrp/36415-ssrp-server-rules-updated-04-08-2018]server rules[/url] and the [url=https://zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/general-discussion/79335-zarp-staff-ethos]staff ethos[/url].

While you are waiting to get unbanned, brush up on the [url=https://zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/darkrp/36415-ssrp-server-rules-updated-04-08-2018]server rules[/url] to ensure you won't break any rules in the future. Keep in mind that if you do anything similar to what got you this punishment in the first place, we will be able to revert to your original punishment. #Accepted [/spoiler] If I cannot get to an agreement with the admin about the person's punishment, or he brings up valid arguments as to why the player shouldn't receive a lesser punishment, I will deny his appeal. [spoiler=Alternative 2]Hello {Player X}, Upon discussing with the administrator who originally punished you, we have concluded that it is best if your punishment is not changed. Feel free to make a new appeal in the future. Our decision may change based on the quality of your next appeal. Additionally, it would be wise for you to read the [url=https://zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/darkrp/36415-ssrp-server-rules-updated-04-08-2018]server rules[/url], so you can get a better understanding of your punishment and a better understanding of the rules in general, to make any plausible experiences in the future more enjoyable for you and the other players. For now, though, we have decided to deny your application. #Denied [/spoiler] [b]Why I should be promoted(we recommend around 150 words):[/b] I already have a lot of experience as a moderator, not only doing F1s but helping players outside of F1s as well.
