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
