Your new rank gives you three special abilities which are:

Physgun Permissions (Picking Players Up, Moving Other's Props)
Having the ability to Noclip.
Seeing other players Money Amount.

Reciving these three abilities is a great honor and respect from the lead staff team, as they can be highly abused. You should only use them if necessary, While Nocliping, Make sure you are cloaked so you won't disturb players role-play. and picking players up should only be used in need of moving them to a sit or freezing them quickly.

If you wish to disable your physgun permissions making you able to point at players without picking them up or touching their props, do as the following video:

Recommended Staff Keybindings:

As a staff member it is always good to have your commands bound into your keyboard keys. this section will show you how to bind your commands with a recommended key to use. Note! if you think you will accidentally press these buttons while role-playing do not bind them for your own safety.

First off, to bind a chat command to a key you will have to type the following code in Garry'smod Console. (Press '~' in-game to enter console mode).

Bind '[Key_Name]' "say [Command]

For Example:

Bind 'B' "say /tp"

I personally recommend placing your key bindings on the numpad area, The numpad area is a place which is used only for fading doors in game and has the ability to be locked/inaccessible by pressing 'Num_Lock' button.

Numpad Key Names:

- KP_END
- KP_DOWNARROW
- KP_PGDN
- KP_LEFTARROW
- KP_5
- KP_RIGHTARROW
- KP_HOME
- KP_UPARROW
- KP_PGUP

Recommended Commands Keybinding:

{Moderator] Key binds:

Bind 'KP_END' "say /tp"                    - Teleport

Bind 'KP_DOWNARROW' "say /back"            - Teleport Back

Bind 'KP_PGDN' "say /backspawn"            - Telport Back to Spawn

{Administrator] Key binds:

Bind 'KP_LEFTARROW' "say /cloak [RP-Name]" - Cloak

Bind 'KP_5' "say /uncloak [RP-Name]"       - Un-Cloak

Bind 'KP_RIGHTARROW' "say /god [RP-Name]"  - Enable God Mode

Bind 'KP_HOME' "say /ungod [RP-Name]"      - Disable God Mode

Bind 'KP_UPARROW' "zarp_freeze"             - Freeze All Props

Bind 'KP_PGUP' "rp_unown"                   - Unown Door

SSRP Meeting Information:

The ZARP SSRP Server has staff meetings each week at Saturday 19:00 PM - GMT in which:

There is a server discussion.
Review of all New Moderator Applications
Review of all New Administrator Applications {Administrator + }
Lead Team Meeting {Super-Administrator + }

Note: As a staff member you do not have to attend the meeting but it is highly recommended that you do.

The loop of reviewing applications in the SSRP meeting is:

Reading The Application.
Checking for flaws or incorrect content.
Checking for Recent In-Game Warnings (Recent warnings are warnings given in the close 2 weeks).
Pointing out Positives & Negatives about the player.
Hosting a poll with all the staff member's votes.
And finally posting the result (Accepted or Declined).

Staff Member Areas:

In ZARP we have two SSRP Servers, however, only one of them has Staff Member Areas, these are as stated - only for staff members use, A Player or a Moderator may be given the permission to host an event in one of these areas by an Admin.
These areas are accessible for all staff members and can be reached using Noclip or Teleport.

Staff Area I:

Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ]

Staff Area II:

Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ]

Staff Guidelines & Rules:

The following are the main guideline rules to all staff members, it is recommended you follow them in order to make yourself as useful and helpful to players and to prevent yourself from getting demoted.

General Guidelines

Do not punish other staff member's if you have an issue contact a Super Admin or above.
Never kick or warn somebody without a sit first!
Nobody other than yourself should be on your account on our server. If you have a mod/admin rank only you should have access to play on our server, that means no little brothers etc. using your account!
You may not have a rank on another server when you do on our server.
When actively administrating please change your job to admin/mod on duty. ( You can still be a role play job if you're just helping with a high amounts of F1 Requests)

Do not use your powers on other mods/admins without their permission.
Do not role-play at all while on duty. This can include; printing, owning houses/doors, using weapons, driving or spawning props.
Always make sure you have sufficient proof that somebody has broken a rule before punishing them, witnesses & logs don't count as evidence for rule breaking!
Always make sure that the person fully understands what rule they have broken and why they can't do it! This will prevent false complaints etc.
When banning/kicking someone, check and check again that you have the right person/SteamID!
No matter how disrespectful a player is, please handle him calmly and politely, there is no need for you to disrespect him back.
Be Respectful To All Players & Staff!
If requested to help players, do so kindly and without being lazy, think about the community and it's players.
And last, Enjoy helping others, You were chosen to join the staff members for a reason.

Admins+ Guidelines

No-clipping to build is permitted as long as you don't let it interfere with role-play!
If you're no clipping be sure to be cloaked ( you can also just use free spectate which makes it harder to get caught slipping such as not un-cloaking)
If a mod needs help go help them with the best of your ability.
Make sure to ask everyone including mods and other admins for proof before banning someone. ( If you issue the ban it's your ban)
