Congratulations on becoming a moderator on the Zarp SSRP Servers!
This guide will walk you through your new abilities and duties as a moderator. If you don't understand something or need help, don't be afraid of contacting another staff member. They will gladly help you on your journey to becoming an exemplary moderator.
Before you continue on with this guide, make sure you fully understand our Staff Ethos, that dictates how you should act as a staff member. Simply click here, to open the Staff Ethos.

Lets introduce you to your staff duties!
As a moderator, your main task is going to involve handling admin requests, commonly known as "F1's". As you might know, F1's are created by users, which require the assistance of a staff member. From now on, whenever someone creates an F1, you will receive an in-game popup in the upper right corner of your screen. To view more details about the F1, as well as to handle it, simple press the F1-Button on your keyboard. You will be greeted with the "Zarp Administrative Center"-Interface. In there, you will have an overview of all active admin requests. If you want to handle a request, simple right-click on it and select the option "Handle this".

How exactly do you handle F1's?
Simply right-click the request again, to get additional options such as "Bring", "Goto", or "Mark as finished". Starting of, you should use the "Goto"-Option to get to the player, that needs you. Ensure, that the player is not in an RP-Situation and talk to them. Find out whats going on, and try to be as unbiased and rightful as possible. You can use the commands described below to better handle the situation. If you are being disturbed by another player during your F1, just teleport yourself and the player that seeks your help to a roof. Always make sure you don't interrupt any important situations, before you teleport someone away. If you find, that someone is breaking a server rule, its your job to hand out a punishment. The severity of the punishment is mostly up to you. After you have successfully handled the situation, bring the players involved in your sit back to their original location or back to spawn. Don't forget to mark the F1 as finished in the Administrative Center.

How to decide on the severity of a punishment?
Before thinking about a punishment, you should ensure, that you know for a fact, that the suspect has comitted the rule break. If you are not sure, don't hand out a punishment. In general, staff members are not required to store evidence for rule breaks, but in difficult cases, it could be pretty neat to have a recording or a screenshot on hand. Now, how harsh should the punishment be? Its mostly up to you. You should ask yourself the following questions. How much damage has the suspect caused with his rule break? How has the suspect behaved, when confronted. How many punishments have been recently handed out to the suspect? (find out, using the interfaces described below) Has the suspect apologized? Do you think the suspect will comit another rule break? These questions should help you decide, how you punish someone. If you are still unsure, you can always ask other staff members for advice. You should not be afraid to hand out punishments yourself however.
