DENIED I'm going to deny this report on doodle and here's why: 1. He wasn't in the wrong for banning you, you claimed he did it without context and you told us here that "the mayor let you." 2. You also claimed you only killed two people (which is true) but it shows you as the instigator on 4 people. That's reasonable grounds for attempted mass rdm which is the same punishment 3. I don't believe he was "fishing for bans" he looked at the logs between you and the person you reported and found sufficient evidence to ban you. 4. (And finally) you're only reporting him and not appealing the ban so you know you're in the wrong and didn't want to challenge it I understand why you're irritated because you got banned after reporting someone else, but that's not a reason to report the staff member after he found sufficient evidence against you Thank you for your report, as well as the effort you have put into your report.

In- game name: lemegetuhmufuckinuhhh Discord username: 762bandit.gg Age: 21 SteamID: STEAM_0:1:92944524 Active Warns: None Timezone: Pacific Standard Time & Central Standard Time Current Playtime: 200 hours 31 minutes 31 seconds Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: YES Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): doodledoo Past experience as staff: Yes, I have experience on a GMod DarkRP Server as a staff member. To add on, I'm also an Admin in a discord server that has over 200 active members daily. Why should we choose you over other applicants?: I’ve been an active member of the Garnet Gaming community for some time now, and during my time here, I’ve made it a priority to establish positive relationships with fellow players and staff members. In all of my experiences with other players, I encourage fairness, courtesy, and an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I take a lot of pride in attempting to create a fair and friendly environment for all members of our community to maintain a friendly and fun roleplay experience. With my willingness to learn paired with my capability to see all sides of a situation, I believe this makes me an exceptional candidate for a staff position. Furthermore, I acknowledge the responsibilities that come with being a staff member, including the need to handle reports hastily, communicate effectively with players, and uphold the server’s standards of behavior. I’m confident in my ability to remain composed under pressure to ensure that all issues are addressed in a fair and efficient manner. To add on, I’m available to contribute an exceptional amount of time to the role, allowing me to further assist the community and improve the Garnet Gaming roleplay experience for everyone. All in all, I’m passionate about ensuring that Garnet Gaming remains a positive and welcoming atmosphere for new and recurring players as a whole. I’m eager to work alongside the current Garnet Gaming staff team to address any challenges to ensure a positive gaming experience for all. I absolutely adore the experience that this server has provided me already, and I would be ecstatic for the opportunity to help provide it for people going forward. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, include details: I want to be completely transparent, I do have a two day ban on my record for ARDM + LTAP for two days (2024-03-21 - 15:13:52 by PaereBrus). At the time, I believed the situation was more lighthearted than what it appeared to be. I was a hobo and I punched somebody. After the person killed me, I decided to log off the game. In the moment, I was not intending to commit LTAP. After receiving my verdict and attempting to appeal, I decided to be accountable of my wrongdoings. After my unban, I vigorously worked towards communicating my actual character. Through this, I've built my relationship with PaereBrus as well as having a further understanding of the consequences of my actions. Have you made any previous applications, if so, when?: No, I haven't made any previous applications. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Most days of the week, I'm able to contribute anywhere from 3-5 hours daily. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: Currently, I'm in University and have taken up a Treasurer position in my current club of the Muslim Student Association. Some other hobbies I partake in is basketball, boxing, working out, and passionately working towards the completion of my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. Did you read the staff rules?: lemegetuhmufuckinuhhh

ahhhh DJ rule #1..?

neutral i don’t doubt your staffing abilities, but from what i seen on the forums when people are harassing or toxic to you leaves me concerned. Your getting powers and abilities and im simply concerned if someone pushes you too far that your gonna use them in a abusive way. i would like to know how you intend on controlling yourself, steps you will/have taken to not let people push you that far.

I hate that shitty ass game

@HX8888 Respectfully if you put in a report; even if it's for RDM x1 and the logs show that he's been Mass RDMing he's going to get banned. Vice Versa in this instance, when it comes to anything that's Mass it's taken very seriously and is a 0 tolerance policy. You provided context by saying "mayor had given me permission too", you blatantly admitted to Mass RDMing. I'm not power hungry nor trying to make Garnet Gaming a toxic server, I'm simply following what I was trained to do. What would make the server worse is allowing players to Mass RDM and getting away with it, I'm not trying to seem like a bad staff member according to you but simply following the rules.

Yeah but do you see what I mean? It's even your mentality here, in your own words you'd be doing it to "ruin their day." That's not at all the mentality you should have especially if you're gonna be staff. I have no issue at all with you reporting a toxic player on this server and improving our community by doing so. But, my issue lies within the fact that your attitude is "well if they do so and so I'm gonna do it back and hit them even harder" - while that can work in some cases in life, in a situation where you are a staff member that represents the staff team on a DarkRP server on Garry's Mod, it will not work. I'm not at all trying to harp on you or anything either, trust me I've made a few mistakes here, including when I was on the staff team. No one's perfect and I'll be the first to attest to that. It's just that your mentality needs to change a bit if you're going to be a successful person on this staff team.

The core of this seems to be your frustration with being killed, whether it be from hits or RDM. For the latter, better weaponry wouldn't benefit your situation. Recording software and reporting the events to staff would be ideal. As for hits, they are also very much an inherently unexpected event. I suspect your frustrations would continue regardless of the weaponry, as hitmen could target you from concealed areas without chance for defense.

In-game name: Schyzo Discord username: schy_zo Age: 16 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:527271485 Active Warns: 0 Timezone: MDT Current Playtime: 699:11:01 Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: Yes Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): Brande/ednarb, DONTTOUCHMYFROG87, StS Orion, tadtad31 (honorable mention to BusterBigNut and Chawhead for motivating me to apply sooner) Past experiences as staff: While I lack direct staff experience in DarkRP or Garry's Mod, I do have experience in moderating multiple Discord communities, each with over thousands of active members. Although these two differ from one another, I believe many of the skills I've developed are transferable and applicable here. Why should we choose you over other applicants?: I should be chosen over other applicants because I have the maturity, knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication that is needed to become a staff member of the DarkRP Staff Team. Nearly 5 years ago, I joined the Garnet Gaming DarkRP server, primarily because it was one of the few servers my computer could handle at the time. I'd play on the server every now and then, either just wandering around or goofing off. As of last year, I gradually found myself playing more, and over time, I became attached to the community. The beginning of this year, in particular, sparked my desire to become a staff member, engaging with the community, helping new players, and understanding all the aspects of the server. I believe I have a trait that is important for all staff members to have, good communication. Good communication is integral when taking sits, as it involves informing players of why they're being reported, how it will be addressed, and what actions will be taken. Another important trait that I have is efficiency, taking a sit that has been made recently to ensure it's being dealt with quickly. There have been multiple instances where I don't see sits being taken for a long time, despite there being staff online. Maturity is another important trait that I have, as it enables me to approach sits with a level headed perspective, exclude any forms of bias, and handle sits calmly and responsibly. I'm able to build goodwill among other staff members, ensuring that any decisions are collectively agreed upon while working together. To conclude, the qualities and traits I've mentioned are integral reasons as to why I should be chosen as a staff member. My commitment to ensuring rules are followed, promoting a positive and enjoyable experience for all players, and serving as a positive role model for others. I am eager to contribute to the server as a staff member and uphold the values that make Garnet Gaming the fun and enjoyable server that we all know and love. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: Yes, Mass RDM + LTAP (2020-05-24), Mass NLR (2020-05-24). Now I completely understand that these bans are raising up red flags, however these bans are nearly 4 years old. I believe it has been a huge amount of time by then to know the rules and learn from prior mistakes. I have made sure to avoid getting into trouble, and have kept a clean record since then. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: No, this is my first staff application. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 5-8 hours weekdays, and 11-14 hours weekends. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: Aside from Garry's Mod and other video games, I'm into graphic design, photography, and nerd out about music too much, I also play piano (hoping to pick up guitar soon). Did you read the staff rules?: Schyzo

Can we bump this it seems like a very easy thing to add quickly.

DENIED Unfortunately, after deliberation with the Dark RP Administration Team, we have decided to deny your Staff Application. This decision was made in part due to the following reasons: Although you have been on a run of good behavior in-game, due to your history combined with instances of toxicity on the forums and in discord channels with other members of staff, we've decided to deny your application. We have not seen a behavior trend meeting with the standards for staff members. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your application. You may reapply in 2 weeks.

+2 Fantastic member of the community. In the 4 months I've been staffing I haven't seen them be reported once. They're also already active here on the forums, the transition to staff responsibilities should be easy.

-1 From what i've seen on the forums your behavior is provocative and immature. I would suggest you lay off the status updates, toxic comments and just reform a little more before going back to staffing.

While there might not be a problem with the rule, there is no reason change cannot happen. Change can be good even when it affects something that isn't controversial or a problem. I feel like some people just don't like the idea of seeing hobo's running around with rifles and thats the norm, but I feel like mayors could simply impose unlicensed weapon laws to fix that. I feel its an in-roleplay issue to solve a thing like that and changing this rule might spice up the roleplay factor of the server significantly, especially for law enforcement. Edit: Also I don't quite see how in any of my statements that id been toxic. Never called anybody any bad names, slurred at anybody or otherwise yelled at anyone. Feel free to repfuck me more please. I'll continue to defend my suggestions and have intelligent debate.

Thanks for reading off what you can’t do as a hobo? I don’t why the fuck you felt the need to do that. I’m gonna make it really simple when you play hobo do you care about what gun you have? Why would you? Your role-playing as a homeless dude trying to make it back into society, or you’re just having fun building some random shit on the street. why are you making a big fuss over hobos having bigger weapons? It’s honestly immersion breaking if you’re mugging a hobo and they wip out a dlore/Db and shoot you. It’s immersion breaking seeing a homeless dude walk around with an RPG And you complain about hobos being able to die because of hits? It makes perfectly sense to want to kill a hobo. They throw boots/look ugly/create a mess in the street/scream at you to give them money. Like jesus fuck those bastards im happy u can put a hit on them and mug them. Hobos should have a VERY difficult time defending themselves, HELL i would +1 a suggestion to strip anyone who joins hobo (except phy / tool and grav gun if possible) and have them dumpster dive/find shit in alleyways to defend themselves with. Hobos are homeless people who lost everything in life/vulnerable to physical and emotional attacks You wanna use real life facts for some odd stupid reason? Heres one “Research shows people experiencing homelessness are far more likely than housed people to be the targets of violent crime. A study conducted across five cities in the United States in 2014 found 98% of participants experiencing homelessness had been victims of a violent attack, with 73% experiencing an attack in the last year. ” hobos should stay the way they are, makes perfect sense. there's not a concerning rate of people not playing hobo because u can't have a bigger weapon then a pistol. if its not broken dont fix it, its perfectly amazing how it is rn.

So, according to what you said the Mayor allowed you to KOS people which is not allowed at all. If you read the Mayor Job rules in the Server Rules forum you can see that it says You may allow certain players permission to enter PD and spend time with you past the 2nd door, but they may not enforce your KOS rules. The mayor CANNOT enforce KOS rules to other players no matter what circumstance, also the Mayor cannot put a law for "KOS Is Legal" No minge laws. (this includes KOS laws, J-Walking laws, and any law that would restrict a player's movement) You did kill more than two people according to logs, therefore it is identified as "Mass RDM" and is bannable for 2 Weeks. The person you reported did get banned for RDM + LTAP but that doesn't mean you can go around and KOS people because the Mayor told you to. Provided in the screenshot with "TCG Pepe but call me Peep" you can also see that he Mass RDM'd as well. I STRONGLY recommend you refresh yourself with the server and job rules, I'm sorry you feel this way about me and I hope you have a good rest of your day!

About damn time, I’ve been waiting too long. This man has been sitting planning this for months now, finally he took the initative to do so. Amazing paragraphs, but not only that. I’ve been basing with this guy a whole bunch and he next to never shows any disrespect or toxicity. I think Schyzo will be an amazing fit for the staff team. +1 Good luck

with how much this guy is on and how responsible he is off what I've seen bundled with really good paragraphs +1

i was mean to schyzo when i was drinking one time but he is a cool guy and is better than most applicants that get accepted IMO. Respectful and cool dude from all my interactions. Plus he has an assload of referrals. +1

gotta say its an obvious +1 and referral confirmation. since day 1 i met this guy its always been a good time playing with him. you have great hours and paragraphs great referrals as well like i said +1 from me

+1 chill guy fr fr fr i love him a lot very nice never toxic at all always positive ily hope you get accepted

I didn't even remember haha. I had so many referrals that I tried to keep track of that I probably forgot that you even gave me your referral. I was tempted to ask you but I wanted to stick to my "no asking for referrals policy".

Schyzo my man, been waiting to see when this post would go up haha. Obviously I've interacted with you a lot, based a lot with you and had a lot of time to get to know parts about you. Think it goes without saying that I'm in full support of you. Your paragraphs are pretty good, your overall hours are lengthy and you've made a good repertoire with many folks in the community. You're always eager to help others and while of course you have a previous ban history, it's been nearly 4 years since those happened and in all the time I've known you, you have been nothing but respectful and upstanding. While I'm not listed in your referrals list, I did give you mine as well a while ago. I'm hoping for the best in your application man, good luck! Big +1

You are very active on the server and I've always had good interactions with you. I see no reason why you shouldn't be given a chance. +1

As others have mentioned if you are accepted onto the team, your tit for tat attitude towards toxicity and harassment needs to stop. The manager at your local Walmart doesn't want to hear complaints that their electronics guy is calling customers idiots, nor would I want to hear you getting into spats with the playerbase. That being said since I'm already referring you, you kind of know where I stand. Just try to be a bit friendlier and calm. +1

Confirming my referral here. I just want to say ever since I met schyzo I have had nothing but great interactions with him. He seems like a very chill individual and every time I see him on the server I enjoy every time I see him. He is fun to hang out with and overall a level headed individual. He has from what I seen tried to help new players and help them to understand the game and if they have any issues tries to help them resolve them. Yes he does have past ban history but it has been a long time in the past and he seems to have grown and stopped that past behavior. I just think with while it is discord moderation does have some experience he can bring to the table. Overall I feel he would be an excellent fit for the staff team. I see no reason whatsoever to deny him. + Paragraphs + No recent punishment history + Excellent playtime + Age + Read the rules

+1 Had good interactions with you on the server, man is friendly as hell

I've always considered it automatically implied that the radio was included in this rule, but as with many things on darkrp, people seem to need everything specified.. So that can be done then. Additionally, as far as mods "blowing up the radios" to solve the problem, I think we can drop the job-ban command down to Admin or Trial Admin and use that to combat these issues. TL;DR - Accepted? Kinda?

+1 +Great referrals + Great Paragraphs + No warns + Good guy on the server and awesome to talk to + High playtime While, you do have previous punishment history from what I've seen on the server you'd be a perfect fit for the staff team and I believe you've grown from those bans.

this is gonna have to stop if ur gonna be staff member, if someone is being toxic to you in a sit, you mute and warn for diss in a sit, you don’t “return the favor” or treat them how they’re treating you” if someone is constantly harassing you , dont go back at them and report it to a admin + who can handle the harassment reports. theres a difference between being a regular user and a staff member. if you cant handle your emotions and its gonna spill out in ooc, its a bad look as a staff member.

+1 GOD PLEASE YES

+1 spawning in to someone blaring 100 decibel ringing is crazy work

-1 I strongly agree with @IAreGunner, although you possess prior experience in DarkRP staffing I've seen your emotions get the best of you in-game which scares me because you are taking on a great responsibility when becoming staff. I've also seen you on the forums acting immature and dissing people two things that go against the staff rules and guidelines. If you get accepted into the staff team, I hope you can prove me wrong. I wish you good luck on your journey to becoming staff.

Hi, everyone! I'm not sure if you've seen my name snooping around forums recently, but, if you don't know who I am, my name is Jared! I have been a part of the GarnetGaming community since August of 2016, right before I started my freshman year of high school! Quick synopsis of my time on GG: - I started playing my first stint of MRP near the fall of 2016, ended around the middle of 2017(?) It's honestly been so long I can't quite remember the exact timeframe. I was an active player mainly on the Marines during the days of CSCDesert with people such as Davidson, senorisgrig, Zach Jones, yokedPREDATOR, North, and many more that may pop into your heads. I first messed around playing SAS and had a blast with our dogshit base that Garnet would faint in disgust nowadays. (If you lot from SAS are still around somehow, hello!) - Afterwards I then came back for a short stint as an Army officer, had some fun with that, and was a part of MRP staff for a little while - I then moved over to DRP and eventually became staff - My last and most recent MRP run was in 2021 during the pandemic, became a part of AwesomeAidan's Green Beret, still love that group, lots of homies Why am I telling you guys this? Well...I'm graduating college in less than a month from now. I can't believe that I am still here on these forums after almost 8 years. Eight years of my life have gone by, and, in a weird way, this community reminds me of the journey I went through on a personal level in order to get to this point. Since the days of August 2016, I have graduated high school, got a girlfriend of over two years, lost my virginity, and now I am very close to earning my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity! I am truly a Garnet Gamer! Even though I may not know you, I just wanted to quickly say thank you. Thank you for everyone in this community who has impacted my life. You all have helped mold me into the man I am today...ready to conquer the world. I may not have become a general in MRP like I wanted to all those years ago, or a Super Admin, or a prominent figure in this community, but I have become a man ready to succeed...in REAL LIFE of course! My most prominent memories of growing up have been from playing with this community of leeches, cunts, and dickwads, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I really wish I could've played GMod with you guys consistently for 8 years, but the sad truth is that our personal lives are more important than a video game. As corny as it is to say, it genuinely hurts me that life got in the way. However, I think it is for the greater good. Could I come back and play? I doubt it. I have a woman to worry about now. I have myself to worry about now. Is roleplaying as an Army private who is being instructed by a 14 year old kid from California to go and capture an objective from the Taliban even important in my life anymore? Probably not. I am 22 years old. I am an "old" man for GG standards at this rate. Current members of GG, please enjoy these moments. You are at the peak of your lives, you just don't know it yet. Yes...you're playing a modded version of Half-Life 2 that got released as a fully-fledged standalone game in 2006, where you roleplay as a Star Wars character, or a military man, or some other stupid shit. But you don't need to think of it like that. DON'T think of it like that. Think of how many friendships you've made in this commmunity, and how much fun you've had. Once you start paying bills on your own, you'll regret not living in the moment. Just thought I'd speak my peace. Thank you all for making my life a little less shitty. Jared

I graduated college in 2014, and mostly thought the same thing to your points. I'm 32 now, I've been married for 7 years. Life doesn't really "get" in the way of anything, that just is life. I've played on gaming communities for probably 20 years now starting on CS 1.6, and still kick it in Gmod, or still occasionally CSS. Gaming has just been a past time for me when I've got nothing else going on, it's my way to relax after work. The whole reason I started to play Gmod more frequently in the last 2 years I've been on GG is because it's a gaming forum and community. I will say, that many of you don't know how good you have it to have a dedicated gaming community to play on. These communities were everywhere in the 00's and started to die off more in the mid 2010's, and are more rare it seems in the 2020s. For those who play the servers, and frequent the forums, you are all a part of a gaming tradition that is slowly being lost due to the change of gaming as a whole, and time itself. There's that line from The Office where Andy says "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days, before you've actually left them". And as probably fucking cringe it is for me to say that, I certainly think of the good old days playing on the PF and HG servers in CSS in the early 2010s that I've dumped thousands of hours into. There is going to come a day this website, and the servers shut down. So soak in the time that you can play on these communities while you can.

wild amount for profile reviews

Hey, Prison. Glad to hear that everything has been doing good for you, buddy! I am about to graduate college in May. Crazy shit. Excited to see where life takes my girlfriend and I.

i mean its kinda on you if you lose all that money, its not like garnet is forcing you to keep that much money in your printers. I also think when you have that many printers that could supply that money in one withdrawal phase, your base is already nearly impossible to raid anyway? I mean I understand when your raiding someone, but its on you for not withdrawing before you transport. -1 easy solution: Withdraw your money, no need to baby the players

-1 Nobody should be safe from random auto-hits. Removing the possibility for Hobos to be targeted randomly can remove a large % of the server. Hobos are one of the easier targets, as well. God forbid you get someone who's been sitting in their Industrial base farming printers for the past 4 hours. Keep Hobos as a target.

+1 I've had all great interactions with you when I see you around or occasionally base with you. Make sure you talk with more people to get your name around more in the community. You did also give a good explanation for your ban. Good Luck!!

Ok so after looking over some of the comments from down below mine I am going to add something on to here I will not change my vote for now but I am thinking on changing it due to a comment I saw quoted here and something else I saw of which I will not mention due to the privacy of the person. You can not under any circumstances have the mentality of "Treat them how you have been treated" If they treat you badly and then you turn around and do the same thing to them it can have a bad outlook on not only you but the staff team as well. Have you ever heard of that old saying if you fight fire with fire all you are going to get is a bigger fire then you are going to get burned? The same thing goes for toxicity and harassment. IF you respond to that with your own toxicity and harassment it just makes both you and the person who started it look bad. If you just ignore it and move on then only the person who started it looks bad. Again I am hesitant here but depending of future comments from here will determine whether or not I change my vote. You have to start interacting better with the community and show you can have a level head when things go south if you don't then you are just giving the other person what they want which is attention and that is all they are looking for. If you don't give them the attention they are looking for then eventually it will go away. If you have an issue with a player then report it to upper staff with evidence of the toxicity and harassment and they will handle it. Again after I post this here I will be looking closely at future comments and see if I change my vote.

Firstly, harassment and toxicity is against guidelines on all spectrums. Secondly, I wouldn't take it into my own hands as I can't take my own sit. I would report toxicity, or harassment and have another staff member handle it. Damn, I didn't know I couldn't be upset about something that goes against community guidelines.

DENIED Due to the lack of following the format and being given opportune time I am going to deny this appeal. Feel free to re apply following the correct format.

You meet all the requirements and have previous experience as staff on Garnet which is great. Also I've see you on a lot and I've had good interactions with you. +1

idk whatever people decide to suggest ig

Easy plus +1 I remember hosting an event and seeing that it was going to be his first one. As I played as a EC and watched over the players I noticed he did very good for his RP and fully understood how to do it while also having fun and not being 100% serious all the time. I’m confident that this man can make a great GM

I hate you for slandering my model (jk thank you very much for adding all this cool shit)

Thank god you finally applied +1
