I'll be reviewing this application because of its importance due to it being an application to get into the Lead Team for SSRP and because you requested feedback (also because I am bored). My review will be based solely on the application itself, with few references to outside of the application as well but I will not be delving into any staff and non-staff related dramas. I will be working my way down the application and speak about things in order and then ending with a general summary.

First question - How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator?

1. What do you mean when you say "The importance of not forgetting certain things are active..."? Do you mean to say that you are always having to keep things in mind, or something else? It'd be better if this was rewritten to something more coherent that flows better with your paragraph.

2. "...I had 27 weekly F1’s." Last week I had around 50 reports completed and on one week I had well over 300, this is not to say that you've done poorly, but 27 reports handled is not very much and yes I do realize the server is not as populated as it used to be. I am concerned about this because to your "best recollection" you say you've had more than 27 weekly F1's, yet you do not explain by how much you beat that 'score' or if what you said is even confirmed, the reason this furthermore concerns me is because you state you've had nearly one thousand hours of time on the server to get more than 27 weekly f1's done on one of those weeks.

3. "I’ve learned many things whilst being an admin/ moderator." But what have you learned? As far as Lead Team applications go, this answer is unfortunately very short and not very well thought-out. What have you learned as an Administrator? How has what you have learned helped you and how will those things help the Lead Team? What have you learned that you can take with you to the Lead Team and what can you bring to the table with your time as an Administrator?

My conclusion on the first paragraph with the points I've made is that your response has not been very well planned out and is simply too short and simply insufficient to me at least. I'd like you to add more and explain in a lot more depth and detail, with stronger points. What did you do to cope with the "two separate dramas"? What about not receiving punishments for a long period of time is important? Etc.

Second Question - What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team?

1. This isn't too big of a deal, but "I feel I am a responsible staff member when doing my duties." You FEEL? If you want to help prove that you are fit for Super Administrator then instead of "I feel" it should be "I am" or "I know", just a nitpick from myself.

2. "I am also very active." I don't doubt that you are on the server very often, but if you were very active you should most definitely have more than 27 weekly f1's.

My conclusion to your second paragraph hinges on the fact that within the question provided it states you can go into as much detail as you want. But for me, instead of that meaning that you can put very little detail, I'd say it actually means you should put as much detail as you can without making your response overwhelming. This response is underwhelming however.

Third Question - 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?

1. "I had to try to get past how I felt intimidated and do my job." In my opinion based off of this alone (you becoming intimidated when staffing) I feel that you simply need more experience in situations that are difficult to handle.

2. It is always good that you'd request for help in a situation where you're unsure of what to do or how to handle the issue at hand. Though as you go farther up the ladder I'd hope that you are preparing to learn and function without the continuous assistance of others, taking responsibility for yourself and handling situations independently.


Fourth Question - Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member.

I don't have anything really to complain about in this section besides the fact that your response is very short, though I don't feel it should be a long response either.

Fifth Question - Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:

Once again I do not have anything to mention here besides the fact that it'd be nice if you added far longer of an explanation/answer to these questions, I'd also appreciate that you don't "suggest the admin reduce it..." if the ban is very clearly abuse and incorrect and instead you directly fix the problem yourself.

Sixth Question - Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:

A recurring theme is that you are not giving a sufficient enough answer, your answers should be longer than half of a paragraph. It is your duty as a Lead Team member to staff the staff, if a staff member is doing something incorrectly you should be able to know about it without it being reported by many people.

Seventh Question - Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:

The question is that a staff member has accused another staff member of breaking rules, not that you have witnessed a rule break on your own. Once again it would be much better if your responses were in far greater detail, the answer to this question simply feels half-baked and rushed.

Eighth Question - Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:

Once again this answer is insufficient because it is far too short. What is the context of their argument? How could it impact their rank? Why could it cause a demotion? What do you do if they begin to turn their argument towards you? Would you offer your own opinion or insights on what they are arguing about? In what way would you speak to them separately and to what lengths would you go to in order to have a peaceful resolution to the issue? Please provide longer responses.

Ninth Question - Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:

Again, the theme continues where I don't believe this application is finished. You would only act if the admin repeatedly mass rdm'd with God-mode on? Why? An immediate emergency demotion would be in place if they did that once. Your responses once again need to be far longer and in way more depth and detail.

Conclusion for the entire application: I don't believe that you're ready to be a Super Administrator due purely to this application (not taking into consideration things outside of the application). The application needs significantly more work to be put into and all of your answers to different questions are more or less the same. You need to put much more effort into your application and plan out your responses to make them meaningful instead of a rinse and repeat. You are on the right path if you continue to work on what you do and improve. Though this application is mostly negative, it is because I want to point out the flaws so you can fix them and once again like I've said; improve upon those flaws.

Your application has absolutely no structure and is even hard to look at, why is nothing spaced out? Why is everything mashed together? Why are the responses so short? Compared to other applications this application is tiny, this app just simply isn't finished and doesn't have enough effort put into it.

EDIT: I had a very hard time writing a substantial review of this application because there wasn't enough to really write about, so I am sorry for that.
