What is your donor rank?  User

 

Are you staff on another community? No

 

Have you read the staff handbook? Yes.

 

Timezone: Central Standard Time (CST)

 

Why do you believe that you deserve the rank?

I want to assist the community as I have in the past. In late 2019 I worked my way up to Admin and was staff for a few months on SCP-RP. So when I think of GMOD, I think of those good old days, and the GL community as a whole, which is encircled by the staffing experience I had. I wish to help once again and give every new player an equal chance to have as much fun as I have had. I had so many great times meeting all the unique people throughout the community as a staff member and am ready for round two.

 

Furthermore, while playing recently, there have been times with a lack of active staff members on-duty, when they were needed (especially in the mornings). Because of this, I would try to be an extremely active staff member, especially during the days when I don’t work or have school work. I have obtained a fair bit of experience from being staff previously in this community, and that would definitely come in handy too.

 

In total, I a person believe inequity on all everyone's behalf. Every person deserves their part of the story to be shared, and all parts come together to form the truth. So when dealing with disputes, I’m observant and not quick to judge. I also believe in second chances and giving people a way to redeem their bad doings, but I have learned when and when not to draw the line. I also really look forward to spending more time on this server and getting to know all the new faces better, thank you all for the daily GL experience!

 

Q1: 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) 

First of all, I would attempt to de-escalate the situation by asking them politely to calm down, as arguing gets nowhere. If they continue to interrupt, I would gag them and give them a further chance to cooperate. If they do cooperate, I would obtain their side of the story too, and check their past warnings to see if they’re a repeat offender. I would then make sure I had the right person and the statements were true in !blogs (4+ kills). Finally, since a Trial Mod is limited with executive powers, I would ask for an online Admin+ to administer a 5-day !ban.

 

Q2: You are involved in a staff sit that involves 5 different players. The players begin to get frustrated and the sit becomes very toxic and unproductive. What would you do in this situation?

I would first ask all players to quiet down so we can come to a quick conclusion without un-needed toxicity. If they comply, we continue on, but if they still mess around and are ignoring the request, I will !gag the ones interrupting. If needed, I will call additional moderators/admins for assistance in organizing and solving the large amount of people. I will go over what happened, ask for each person’s story on the occurrence, and ask witnesses if possible. I would then administer the most just punishment for all; depending on what happened, and let them continue with their experience on the server.

Former staff of GL in 2019; Did a decent job from what I can recall, reached the position of admin, capable of speaking professionally with players.
However, was demoted for mass inactivity due to lack of time availability. 
While I believe they'd do well in the position; Whether or not they have improved on their time management skills is another topic.

Initially when the applicant had asked if they should apply for staff. I advised giving it more time to get used to the current community,
server rules and getting known by the current player base. While personally I'd recommend taking more time to do this.
If SS1 believes they're good to volunteer their time for staff without going MIA  this time and meeting the minimum requirements.
Then I'm comfortable with them joining a trial spot. However for most of those who are not familiar with the player; I can
certainly see this as a valid reasoning to not support this application. 


For Q2, " I will go over what happened, ask for each person’s story on the occurrence, and ask witnesses if possible". 
Do keep in mind if they're not directly involved; They'll need evidence such as a video to be considered valid or even take part in the sit. 
Otherwise the questions and application are decently answered/written.

Your first post since 2019 was on December 27th.

It has been 6 days and most new members are recommended to wait around 2 weeks. I believe it is too early while I respect your past presence in the team you just came back after a 2 year break and it ain't even been 1 week so give it some time and settle back into the community.

Yea i agree with weeb here brother, I respect that you was past staff but no one will know who you are. Just give it a little bit and get some time in the community so people will know who you are.

1. Incredible polite, have only had good expierences with him in the past

2. While yes he has recent low forums activity he came back from a break. He was an Admin, he clearly knows what he is doing so waiting I don't think would be necessary.

3.Really good written app

4. Yeah he would be a great edition to the staff team.

Good luck

For the concerns about my lack of current playtime since my return to the server;

I understand all of your concerns, but I feel as though I am ready. By the time the application has been sifted, I will of course have had much more time on the server, and have met many more people. I also believe I have met a lot of the usual faces on the server already, as steam claims that I have spent 54 hours on GMOD in the past week, I have been on the server for almost all of those. I do believe it would not take much time at all for me to get back into the rhythm, and this time I'm prepared to be very active.

Thank you for your concerns, if you have other questions/want to discuss this more, DM me on discord or post another comment!

have a nice day

You should give it more time to establish yourself and prove that you are here to stay for a bit.

-Support, for now

You’ve been nothing but respectful and kind from what I’ve seen in research but I think waiting just a little bit goes a long way here. Please don’t let this discourage you from applying in the near future!

Pretty much what Some said here. Sorry mate, I understand that you can be ready for the position and such but give it some time, get to know the new people around the block etc. etc. I'm sure you will get to know everyone soon.
