Past experiences as staff: i used to staff on here 3 or so years ago

 

Why should we choose you over other applicants?:

I believe you should choose me over other applicants because I have experience moderating this server in the past. I have an righteously unbiased mind, and I believe as a staff member I will be able to help the community as a whole in regards to reports. I believe I will be an excellent addition to the staff team, as I take sits as soon as they are made. Recently, I have noticed sits taking longer and longer to be completed (even for a simple RDM case), and occasionally they expire. I see players upset in OOC that staff do not take their sits and allow the perpetrator to continue breaking rules and ruining the player experience. I can assure you that as a staff member I will never let a sit expire, and I will take as many sits as possible as they are abundant. 

 

I find joy helping players in need, and being able to be the person that provides the help and assistance is something that I love. E33OR is a role model to me, as he is also genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of the common player, and I see him helping players out of sits every time I see him on. On the occasion that I am accepted, I will put in the same amount of effort with the same amount of care as E33OR does. I believe every player should be treated with respect, and rule breaking players should be punished for their wrongdoings.

 

From my perspective, minges and NITRPers have become an increasingly prevalent issue on this server, and I am making this staff application so that I may assist the community in cleaning up the perps make. As a player myself, it is not fun being prop blocked for 20 minutes while you wait for your sit to expire. As I have said before, I will put in time and effort to ensure the common rule-abiding player's experience is not infringed upon for more than 30 seconds after their report is made. I know what I am doing as a staff member, and can guarantee the server will be more enjoyable for the common player if I am accepted as staff.

 

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server?: i got community banned for being toxic because I was openly critical of the wrong people for no reason. I ended up getting doxxed on the forum by said people. It's a whisper in the wind as the entire community is different, and so is myself.

 

Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: 2 in 2016 (MilRP), 1 in 2017 (DarkRP), 1 in 2019 (SWRP), 1 in 2020 (DarkRP)

How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 6 hours a day at best

If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: 

Did you read the staff rules?: salami lid

Salami lid, I like you but I got to -1 for now. You are not popular among the lower levels, and in some cases I've heard more prominent players complain about you. I also want to know how you have changed after your toxicity ban. If you can provide information on this, and prove to me a bit more that you are changed from this, I'd be happy to +1 you. I think you would make a great staff member, if you increase your reputation a bit. NOW KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS NOT TO SAY I HAVENT SEEN YOU ACT VERY TOXIC TOWARDS ANYONE. I personally have had good experiences with you. I would just like to see more people vouch for how you are acting before I +1 you, due to that toxicity ban.

EDIT: Alright to clarify a bit more, if I see many +1s and no major issues, I will happily change mine to a +1.

(+1)

1. Great playtime
2. Older community player
3. Paragraphs are above standards

- on a side note, you do have a few warns, and I'm not to "heavy" on -1'ing for that reason cause we all get them sometimes, even current staff members have gotten warned in game for their actions. I believe a community ban IS a serious thing, but you've proved yourself, when you were unbanned from the community and I can't hold that against you. 

I think you've got good spirits and even better intentions, I'm sure you'd fit right in. IF by chance your application doesn't get accepted, I want you to keep pushing and keep trying cause I believe you can easily become apart of this team. 

I enjoy playing with you, I enjoy seeing you help/assist others where you can and it shows motive.

p.s - thanks for your kind words bro bro! I'm glad to be here and I'm glad I can make a difference, even if it's little. I never had the thought of being a role-model, and it's awesome you think that way of me man. I wish you the best of luck on this staff application!

I've come to understand that criticizing people without proper reason is not something that should be done. I was younger back when I got banned, and as I look back I can understand that my words and actions were unjust. I was a high-and-mighty dumbass who was unable to see the other person's POV in the situation. I have learned that being rude or demeaning to people (name calling / general immaturity) is not typically accepted anywhere, and I was too set in my own mind to see how others saw a situation.

The reason behind my warnings is my inability to prove my innocence in a sit, but since I use shadowplay I have earned 0 warnings. If you know my username you know I report people all the time, I made this staff application so that I can handle the sits instead of make them lol.

Ive noticed that you are more ruthless when it comes to sits. Whenever someone you report gets convicted of something you always jump to the most severe action possible. I feel as staff we should help the community grow and learn from their mistakes. Do you think its fair to punish players that are new to the game / server? (Obviously severe actions = Severe punishment)

 

Neutral. While yes i agree that you did change for the better, I still feel your judgement is harsh to newer players and i think it would kill the newer part of the community.

I have seen you in game and you have been fine at the times and I haven't seen any reports on you personally and I trust e33or to make the right choice so for reasons above

I can understand where you are coming from with this. I wouldn't use the word "ruthless", I would consider myself to be by the book. A rule is broken, there is a punishment for said infraction, and in my opinion the correct punishment should be handed to the player. I only ask for "the most severe action possible" because it's the entire punishment for the rule that was broken. I firmly believe that it is fair to punish all players who break rules regardless of playtime, because in the end, the rules appear on their screen as soon as they spawn. It is the player's responsibility to understand the rules, and it is the player's responsibility to follow them. In a situation where a rule is broken, I believe the player should be punished. 

I have an example, I reported a level 24 player with 36 hours the other day who broke NLR 5 times, and also FDA'd. This player was let off with a verbal warning and a 10 minute jail because he was new, despite the fact that he had over 24 hours in the server. I mentioned to the staff member that the rules he had broken was far over the limit for a ban, but a jail would suffice because it would allow the player to read the rules. 

 

tl;dr, all players are held to the same rules, so all players should receive the same consequences.

I can respect this opinion seeing how the player broke way to many rules for any staff to let slide. im more talking of a player rdm'd you and you immediately wanted him warned.. im just saying generally you arent that lenient towards newer players. We advocate for verbal warns as much as possible to help grow the community and teach newer players the ropes. While i firmly believe in equal punishment and non bias opinions i think that newer players should be given a helping hand when newer <30 level. Ill be deciding to change my vote on this later but for now im just not sure

I understand what you are referencing, and I can see why you would believe that I am not lenient towards new players. As a player, if I am RDM'd, I would prefer the person who RDM'd me to be warned because that is the same punishment I would get for RDMing someone. As a staff member, for new players, I would most likely jail them to give them the opportunity to read the rules. Like I said in a previous post, the rules appear as soon as you spawn, and for most (if not all) DarkRP servers, RDM, RDA, and NLR are universal rules.

You lost me at the second part of this sentence, because it's sort've a double standard in my eyes. Believing in equal punishment and non bias opinions should allow you to see where I come from. A helping hand is what I would offer to all new players in any situation, but if a player is upset they were RDM'd, I would find it unjust to simply let the perpetrator off with a verbal warning because he is new. In my opinion, a player's level has nothing to do with their DarkRP experience, nor does it reflect their ability to play by the rules. I will probably adjust how you see it to how I see it, by instead of observing their level and making my decision based on that, I will look at the player's time played in the server which does reflect their DarkRP experience. I do not want you to see me as a warn-happy tyrant because that is not how I want to be viewed, but in order to uphold "equal punishment and non bias opinions" a player should be punished for his wrongdoings according to the D3A handbook. Of course, there are situations where a player would and should be let off with a verbal warning, but allowing players to simply get off the hook for breaking universal DarkRP rules is not something that I would be able to do as a staff member.

-1

i was going to plus one until i read this and had a bit of an epiphany

- i personally have never seen you be nice to a single person on the server. 

- the aggressive tone you have over new players is prevalent in what you're saying and with the server numbers lacking lately, we need someone who's going to teach and help in a POSITIVE way. there's always opportunities to teach without discouraging someone with warns and punishments. 

- i like you but you have an overall aggressive and hostile personality.

Denied

I don't think you are a good fit for our team currently.
I have to agree with Jorts on this one just based on my own personal observations, and I know several staff agree.
You may reapply in 72 hours.
