What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I want to become part of the staff team to help enhance the quality of my favorite Garry's Mod server. I enjoy helping people out and think helping solve players' in-game problems, mistakes, and role-play situations would be very interesting and fun. I've been playing on this server for a while now but would like to experience the community in another way. I also play late at night more and notice that the online staff numbers dwindle (which is normal people need to sleep) and see people complain about waiting for tickets. In addition, I hear about and see more people trying to break, and or bend the rules later because they think they can get away with it when there are less staff online. As a result, I would enjoy helping prevent these things. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I should be considered because I am always on my computer whether I am attending class, working, or playing games. This is the only server I care about, play on, and want to see grow, and would do what I can and need to help that keep happening. I also would like to be one to help players new and old learn or understand the rules and answer questions on things in the game they don't know or forget, to keep them interested and to keep players coming back. I would be dedicated to doing what needs to be done to keep the gameplay moving fluidly and maintaining the rules of the server overall. Saying this, I feel as if I am a strong candidate to consider for helping staff your server. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position, and how long): I was a moderator on Atomic Networks for about 3 months and I was a super admin for a darkrp server for about 7 months Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, RDM Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * Generally, I am well-known in our community because of belong to both the Jewish faction and NYPD. My current rank is Lieutenant for Patrol, a position that has made me a highly regarded leader within the force. It enabled me to interact with various players and solidifying my standing and fame. Besides working at the police department, I also hold a higher up position in the Jewish faction since some months ago. This duality makes me stand out as a person whom other members consider as passionate and influential person across both fields. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: One of my favorite moments was when I was in ESU. It was right before the map change, and there were about 25 ESU members in the locker room. Suddenly, they all started shooting and killed each other. There was so much blood and gunfire it was chaotic but hilarious. I even have a clip of it if anyone wants to see! Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: pizzle! (moderator) pyro (moderator) ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: In case someone RDM another player and I am not standing presently for receiving tickets for some reason, probably I ought to delay for a while to see if one more stuff is available, who could help him. This method ensures that tasks are shared equally among team members as well as prompt resolution of each incident. However, if there isn’t any other staff actively taking tickets or they are preoccupied with other matters, then in my capacity at the time I can take over handling it alone. This is particularly true if I don’t have an active RP scenario going on or dealing with something IRL because maintaining order and fairness in my community has always been important to me first above anything else. In such cases, just like any other ticket, I would grab the ticket and handle it same way by addressing the concerns of the player in a timely manner. My dedication towards upholding community standards includes investigations that involve gathering evidence, speaking to all parties involved and finally carrying out appropriate punishments. My goal is to create an environment where players respect each other and enjoy their time during play. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: First of all, I would attempt to record what is done by the staff member through Medal TV or another recording software to have concrete evidence for myself. After that, I would privately let those above them like the Head Administrator or the Founder know about their activities so that a proper resolution can take place without involving other people. At this point, I can try and watch over how the staff members continue behaving after the first report by taking further clips where necessary. In case my superiors order me not to monitor anymore and leave it for others to deal with, then I will follow chain of command immediately and respect their decisions. Essentially, my aim is to preserve fairness and dignity within the community by simply documenting in appropriate ways any wrong doings committed within it. A member of your faction/friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I shall, of course, try to delegate the issue to another staff member so as not to be biased. Thus, maintaining impartiality is crucial for ensuring fair and just decisions. Nevertheless, I would have looked at all the evidence in case I was the only staff available. To have a fair assessment of the situation, I would carefully scrutinize all this evidence provided by those reporting him. After reviewing such evidence, I would punish him based on server rules irrespective of what happened. I don't really want somebody that gets angry about getting punished for something they did wrong in a video game. Upholding rules and maintaining fairness may require difficult choices even if it means making tough calls. Friendships should be built on mutual respect and conformity to community’s standards; therefore anyone who dodges responsibility over their mistakes does not agree with my values.

Skyzerbefr | Staff Application

In-Game Name(s): Samuel "Sammy" Berenbaum, Officer Muhammed Ashala, Vimal "Mighty" Patel, Wong Wang Steam Name: Skyzerbefr Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/SkyzerBeFr/ Steam ID: 76561199230189062 Discord Username: Skyzerbefr Age: 17 When did you first join the server: late 2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 4w 1d 9h 55m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: < 40 hours per week Have you read the rules?: Multiple times yes. Do you have a working microphone?: Indeed Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Indeed Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: Absolutely Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Absolutely yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * It has been over a year since I last played the server. I will say, this server is fun and indeed breathtaking. I feel that my time, knowledge and overall personality will bring a benefit to the staff team. I will bring dedication, speed and favoritism to my fellow staff. I will make it seem fun and enjoying for all when I am doing my duties as a staff member. But overall I would like to say that my wellbeing will be different from when I first joined the server, because I have greater knowledge, higher maturity and overall an unbiased mind. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * Starting off, I don't feel that my application should be considered more acceptable then others, but really just an opportunity for higher ups to see a high potential for an amazing staff member. I feel that my application should be considered more then others for the following reasons. I am a dedicated person, well rounded, and a good problem solver for whatever comes my way. Others may doubt these things but I say otherwise because I can say my time in this server is enough to know what can and will happen in this server at all times. But as my consideration should be high, I think that all applications should be looked just the same as mine besides the amount of +1s or -1s that come to play. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was a super admin for a popular server Elitelupus and an admin for a Fallout server. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, Ltap. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I would say I am well known as I am in the Jewish faction. People know me for my energy, kindness and overall dedication to help others. I feel my presence is known wherever I go and people feel comfortable when I am around. I like to make others feel like they know me as family and as far as a brother. I want everyone to still continue feeling this type of way and want to overall make people trust me to help protect them in this server. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: Finding friends that I consider family and making everyone feel safe! Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pyro, Pizzle, Monaclu ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: First clip it and secondly have a conversation with the dude to not do that. I would let a different staff member handle it by making a sit with all the proof I have so there is no bias sit. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: Make a staff report on the forums and put all the evidence I have with any witnesses that may be involved. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would consider this a bias way of handling things. But I am deemed a not bias person and will handle things the way the always will be. Regardless of if there friends or faction members, I will do anything and everything to make the sit as unbiased as possible. --------------------------------------------------------- Edited to make it easier to read.
