What is your in-game name?: - LCPL Hakuna Matata 1D50 or Friendly Steve K
What is your steam name?: - Hakuna Matata
What is your steam ID?: 76561198008144172
Do you have any other experience with staffing?: (If yes, explain) - Yes! I had been staff on a DARKRP server many years ago as well as successfully ran an Arma 2 DayZ Epoch and Overpoch server for 4 years before Bohemia decided to shut down servers who were selling donor packages (Loot crates etc). Which inevitably made running the servers cost to much. At one point we were rank #1 Dayz Epoch server and hovered around there (it was called motoclangaming). - In real life I was a supervisor at a grocery store for 5 years and I now currently hold a Security Supervisor position with 12 employees under me (If real life is applicable to this haha!)
What date did you start playing on the community? (roughly) - Approximately July 5th
What date did you make your forums account? - Wednesday July 11th (I do not use the forums overly a lot, I am more of a teamspeak guy but I can definitely be more active on the forums from here on)
Current rank on server (This is a ULX rank ONLY! Not a RP Rank)? - VIP+
How many warns do you have on the server? - 0
Have you donated? - Yes I have purchased 40 credits
What rank are you applying for? - Trial moderator and if I get accepted and turn out to be a good fit I would love to climb the ranks to help out and teach other staff coming up the ranks
Have you read the staff guidelines at http://gaminglight.com/main/topic/20650-staff-handbook/? You will be tested on it: - I have previously when I first started the server but after reading the applying guidelines I was not eligible to apply (to early). However when I went on it again to refresh my memory it shows “ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND”
Timezone: - EST (Canadian)
Permission (Admin+ need this): - N/A
Why do you believe that you deserve the rank? (150 Word Minimum): - I have been a gamer for more or less since I could pick up a controller/mouse/keyboard. I love making experiences for others rewarding and also teachable. Being that I have ran a server and suffered through some slumps due to people losing interest in a certain game mode I would not be one to quit easily and I can always be counted on. I am currently in the process for applying to a regional service (Getting my ATS) and the thought of playing on a Police RP server really intrigued me. Ever since joining the staff have been nothing but helpful/fair and honest and it is something I would want to model myself towards so other players may share the same experience as I. I am not a hot headed guy and I am able to effectively defuse situations, I also know how frustrating some situations may be for players so I would be able to keep calm and try to help them through it. At the end of the day the players are the most important thing, without the players we would not have this amazing server.
How would you handle someone that is Mass RDMing and when you bring him/her to an admin sit all they do is curse at you? - I would first let him know I am bringing him to a sit due to complaints against him for RDMing. I would attempt to explain the rules to him (I would also look at his play time as with a certain amount of time on the server a player should be expected to know the basic rules of an RP server even though it is stated in the motd!). If the individual continued to curse at me I would mute him so I could continue speaking with him and explain the rules of the server and why he shouldn’t be doing that. I would give him an opportunity to speak afterwards and if he were to continue to be disrespectful I would then follow procedure (could be a warning for staff disrespect + RDMing) or a ban.
