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.

-1 Unfortunately I'm going to have to change my vote to a -1 because of your response to Gunner. Being toxic back to other players changes nothing and just perpetuates the situation. It also concerns me since as a member of staff, there is no room for you to act that way.

Honestly, it appears your reputation within the community by those who know you is good, the issue only appears to lie within your application itself. The application itself isn't terrible, it's actually relatively a few easy fixes. Here's your actual STEAM ID btw: STEAM_0:0:737076490 I would also suggest you go back and re-read the staff rules and just beef up your paragraph section as the others have suggested. I also did check your ban appeal from 2023 and it was indeed accepted so that checks out. Unfortunately though, I'm going to have to go with a -1 until those things are fixed. -1

-1 Unfortunately it looks like you did not read the staff rules...

+1 Had good interactions with him in-game and it appears the community agrees he should be staff regardless of him failing the first training. Also agree with @ShankNinjaand @ajbedhead that the structure for staff training nowadays seems bloated and unnecessarily long.

Congratulations to all the people on their new appointments, it's good to see DarkRP is still going strong! Especially a big congratulations to @ChrisRid

-1 - Good Referal - Ability to recognize past mistake is a start - Being able to speak Romanian is pretty cool - I'm not sure if you were granted an exception to the age requirement (I'm guessing so if Buster referred you) but 14 is still relatively young and there can be some concern for immaturity in situations such as sits or roleplay - Paragraphs are a bit weak, didn't really explain why you want to be staff either. Saying "it doesn't hurt to apply" rather than trying to give solid reasons as to why you'd be a good staff candidate doesn't really show the best commitment in my opinion - Adding on to the above, I don't think you really needed to have an entire second paragraph decided to you being able to speak Romanian

+1 - All good interactions with him - Previous staff experience

Neutral HOWEVER I think you would be a great staff member. You have solid hours, a good understanding of the rules, and on top of that, a good referral. Now, the only reason I'm not giving you a +1 is because of this- It's one thing to say it and one thing for it to actually be true. I'll point out two situations since I have those two clipped still. It's no secret that you and me have had good encounters and bad encounters. Example 1, you didn't like I was countering you (and others) so much as a Civil Protection so you tried to advert raid on a DJ Hut to kill me. After the sit, you just flat out sniped me from your base then went AFK (you were warned anyways due to my clip). Example 2, I was walking down the street infront of PD and you and your friend Juto were raiding the base at the very end of that street. You saw me "charging" down the street and shot me. Your reason being that I counter your raids every time (your words from the clip). That's clear cut RDM. Now, these are only two of our bad encounters. We've had plenty of good ones too when I've taken your sits. But you need to understand that staff members get held to a higher accountability and that type of stuff just won't fly especially if you're staff. I do wish you good luck though because ultimately I would like to see you become staff since I've seen your good side as well. But I think it was fair pointing out both perspectives.

+1 Good experiences with you.

Ironically while I was reading this from @Nutter I found an old screenshot from 2016 of when huge bases were allowed and people were literally allowed to corner off entire corners of the map (shown below when we did it once). In regards to this suggestion though, it's going to be neutral. I know lots of people who are in clans that are some of the most genuinely nice and caring people on the server while I know some that are absolutely toxic and do not care about the rules (self-admitted). Given this, I think this would only increase toxicity on the server and potentially empower clans even more. But, I will keep an open mind and see what others say.

+1 Saw him playing last night and earlier today, all good things. I also talked to him and mentioned how I believe in 2nd chances but did of course bring up the concern about having previously been demoted and blacklisted. He explained the situation very thoroughly and I do think he should be given another chance. Good luck, man.

-1 Age is a bit on the low-end, which would be fine if you were able to demonstrate you're still mature and competent, your lack of grammar and sentence structure tells me the opposite. Paragraphs are relatively short and not the best. Pretty generic and vague as well.

+1 Confirming referral. I admit that I have to agree with the above people that your paragraphs are relatively lacking. HOWEVER... That shouldn't be the reason someone get's denied. I think some staff sometimes get too caught up in looking for an excellent application when sometimes we should be looking at the potential of a person. You have nearly 1,000 hours and zero bans on record, that's to put it mildly - incredible. I think that your personality and the charisma that you bring would be a good fit to the team and the only thing I can do is ask that my colleagues assess you on that as well. Good luck, buddy.

+1 Had good interactions with him.
