Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: Yes.
Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: Yes, I was in it for a while but left and had to rejoin.
Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes.
Referral(s): None.
Past experiences as staff: Former Senior Moderator (2020-2021 era) on Garnet Gaming Dark RP (this server!)
Why should we choose you over other applicants?:
I was a Senior Moderator back in 2020, so I know quite a bit about the community, the staff processes, and the rules in place. While I know that much has changed in terms of the staff guides, rules, and what-not I have read them and I fully understand them. I have dealt with a variety of player interactions, ensuring the enforcement of rules and ensuring fairness so that everyone has a good experience on the server, because that’s what this is all about.
More importantly, I truly do care about the community and the server. I’m not applying because I want a cool nametag that says “staff”. I’m applying because I want to help maintain a friendly and safe environment for the community that I love. I love dealing with sits, guiding new players, and honestly just simply being a welcoming and active member. I trust that I can be a dependable member of the staff team right away with only a small amount of time to get used to the position again.
Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: Yes, I have two previous bans from this server (4-5+ years old). One was for "Mass RDM - AOS doesn't = KOS" on January 27th, 2020. I was new to Garry's Mod and had never played before (nor did I know pretty much anything about it) and thought AOS and KOS were the same thing. Another was "Harassment to players (discord + forums) which is not acceptable as staff. | Very short ban" on July 6th, 2021. This was when I had an argument with a community member over Discord that bled into the forums. I have no other bans from any other servers that I know of outside of my friend's and I messing around on our own private games. I do hope that this will be taken into account as I have changed a lot since then; going from a high schooler during the Covid Lockdowns with unlimited free-time to a fully functioning adult.
Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: No, I was initially a VIP Moderator when I first joined the staff team here.
How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: A lot, I generally have a good amount of free time after work and on my off days.
If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: I go to the shooting range a lot, like an uncomfortable level of a lot. I also go fishing and hunting all the time.
Did you read the staff rules?: Marlboro Reds
DENIED
Unfortunately, after deliberation with the DarkRP Administration Team, we have decided to deny your Staff Application. This decision was made in part due to the following reasons:
In the interest of saving everyone and you some time, I'll be denying for now. Your application lacks effort, and even after your attempt to fix you still didn't read the rules. I'd recommend building a better reputation for yourself in the community before reapplying for staff.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your application. You may reapply in 3 weeks.
