What is your staff rank and the server you work in?: Admin & SCP-RP.
How long have you been apart of the Gaminglight community?: I have been around since 2020, taking a few breaks here and there until coming back a few months ago.
How long have you been a staff member on Gaminglight?: 3/4/23, 3 ish months ago was when i joined staff, however, I was a Senior Mod back in 2020 and 2021.
How often are you online on the forums?: I check it once every few hours.
Why do you believe you're qualified to serve as a Forum Diplomat?: I believe that I am qualified to become a Forums Diplomat because I have been around this community for a long time, and I am not someone to mess around or minge and break rules. I like enforcing the rules when it needs to be done, and I would love the chance to be able to do it on the forums as well, a place that starts/brings a lot of toxicity and drama. I have wanted to apply for a while now, but the chance to was always slim (due to current Staff Rank) or the applications were just not open at the time. Now that they are, I believe that I am ready to take on the tasks of a Forums Dip and better the Forums in any way I can. I am on the Forums almost every day, looking at the different suggestions, reports, etc. making sure everything is okay and that no one needs help. While my recent posts may be a little low in numbers, I am very active in just viewing all the different posts (mainly SCP-RP). If given the chance, I would love to serve as a Forums Dip and help in any/all ways I can and I would try my hardest to be even more active on the forums than I already am.
Would you consider yourself to have good judgement? If so, please describe a situation that required you to make a difficult decision?: I have been on many different servers throughout my time on GMOD, and one of them I had to warn and ban a few of my closest friends because of their actions. I am not one to be bais towards anyone when the time comes to be serious and make very hard decisions. I would consider myself to have good judgement when the time comes to it, I have had to even strike and remove some of my good friends as well for inactivity, breaking rules, etc. I know that rules are rules, and no matter who they are, they are still subject to them just as much as I am.
How would you deal with a situation where a user is spamming in various topics due to getting banned from one of our servers?: I would firstly try to read some of the spam posts to try and gather as much info as I can on the situation. I would then lock and hide all the posts that they are posting while logging all of this within the right channel in the Discord. I would then send a messge to the user via the Message System on the Forums, the message would be as such; "Hello! You are currently breaking a rule on the Forums about spamming posts due to being banned. If you conintue doing so, you are at risk on being warned, or even banned from the Forums. You may appeal your server ban at [Insert ban section link of that specific server] and if you have any trouble, please contact support." If they conintue, I would contact a Senior Forums Dip about everything, and let them handle it while locking and hiding the spam posts.
How would you deal with a situation where two users are aggressively arguing with each other in a warning appeal?: I would start by reading all the posts between the 2 to find out more of the situation, then I would post a message that would go as the following; "Forums Diplomat message! Please keep all replies to a + or - Supports. Any other messages that are conintuing the fight, will be moderated and futher action with be taken." I would then look over the post for a few hours to make sure everything has stopped. If they had not, I would then hide the messages, issue the correct punishments then log everything in the correct channel within the Discord.
