Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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".

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.

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.
