  1. 50/50 Honestly bro I would prefer someone being a mod that has been around for a while and it looks like you disappeared. Wish the best! Hopefully you can come on more
  2. +1 I'm a firm believer in someone changing after some time. I believe Frumzy should be given a chance!

    Perma Ban Appeal

    I believe that the reason for your ban was absolutely dumbfounded just for it to be "Bye." It leaves you with 0 context especially when making an appeal. I would weigh in here; depending on how severe your case is, it looks like it's been a while since you RDMed, something I am assuming was the reason why you got banned if the reason was changed. You have been banned for two years I think you should be unbanned, again this is just imo.

    Ban appeal

    You should follow the format. Honestly, this is also a very poorly made appeal if you are trying to be apologetic.
  5. +1 Make it one slot would be cool.
  6. I even appreciate the fact he came out with the idea. Tbh it just makes a great inconvenience especially in a PK situation
  7. String. Please explain how I am a "total" minge. If possible, please show proof. I've played this server for over a year with a month+ in playtime. In addition to that, I've been apart of a faction actively roleplaying and climbing it's ranks. I don't see how that prevents me from becoming staff. What I can understand is my POs, but like I noted everyone makes mistakes. Please explain a bit more if possible?
  8. It honestly is an inconvenience and doesn't really seem like something people would RP for
  9. That is actually a fair point about the video. I want to clarify on that situation. Basically a Jew kept running us over and extensively kept trying to VDM. That was actually a last resort and became a valid kill for me.
  10. I don't see how my staff application is some sort of plot against the commission. I'm here to enforce fairness regardless of who is on what side. I'm here to enforce the rules and correct mistakes if I see any, hopefully creating a stronger community base.
  11. Teach me the proper ways Jay
  12. Goes far to show how favoritism works in the server. I may be just ranting honestly but not really helpful to the community to just say "-1 not a commission main." In my opinion we should drop faction biases to create a more fair and maintain a stable administrative environment. Just my (Imo) This application should not be seen as going against the commission; rather it should be seen as a way to involve people who have made mistakes, who want to create a stronger environment for everyone at the end of the day, regardless of what faction someone is in. For me, this is definitely a learning experience.
  13. In-Game Name(s): Gideon Valtieri, Jackson Romano, Aiden Frost, Anthony Ferrari, Mitchell Jackson, Dong Morgan Steam Name: Indexcicive Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/my/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:117683863 Discord Username: Indexcicive Age: 22 When did you first join the server: Approximately March 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): I can't visit the game at the moment but ~ 1 month+ Time Zone: CST. How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 2 hours daily; 14 hours weekly. Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes. ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * In the past year I have learned a lot about the server and it's rules. I have learned that the server can require admins who will also be on during the night time of EST/CST because we lack admins during that time frame. I felt the motivation to step up and try to become an admin, and hopefully be a successful administrator by solving people's problems and utilizing the rules created. I want to try my hardest to follow it to a perfect T. Being apart of the administration team allows me to be able to have a **VERY** clear incentive as to how the rules work, because I am a person who works hands on in situations. If a situation occurs I learn because of mistakes and I try not to repeat blatant mistakes. If I create a mistake knowingly, I own up to it. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I believe I have had a long time in the server to be able to create solutions and solve issues. I am someone who tried his best to look at both sides when given clear evidence, and I try to analyze situations as clearly as I can with intent to understand the situation better before committing to some sort of decision. I've noticed many people become hot heated and that is an unprofessional way to present one self as an administrator. I firmly believe that by taking a high role, you are given a specific mobility and trust to handle situations that mean a lot to the server. I analyze, question, attempt to correct others/myself if I see there is an issue, advise for the sake of the other person benefiting positively that should be an overall good outlook for the community, and more. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have numerous staffing positions. Roblox: Atlas Corporation - Founder (Est 2014.) (Roblox MilitarySim) 2014 - 2021. I actively created one of the best communities along side other community owners that tens of thousands of Roblox players utilize in their own communities nowadays. I was a part of the expansion of A.C.S. (Advance Combat Systems), an open source development system that utilizes Arma 3 like capabilities in Roblox Studio, which enhanced Roleplay experiences for users on Roblox. Subsequently, I led this corporation with 2k members. Venomous Gaming: 2016-2019(?) Moderator. Exact date I can't remember but around that time frame I believe is the closest I can think of. I've created a few networks as well across the GMod community but nothing as significant as Diverge. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I have been banned before on Diverge. It has been for different reasons. In the beginning my POs were definitely based off of mingeness before I mained faction on Colombos. After joining Colombos I've taken an extensive look at trying to improve my actions. There were situations that have happened more recently than I've argued were extremely nuianced, and I've been banned for it because of POs. However I've never intended these mistakes continuously. At the end of the day, we are all not perfect. But this gives me a chance to come forward and even give other people a chance to improve, and hopefully teach them to become quality players like how I try to be. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Where do I begin lol I've very much enjoyed the shootouts and roleplay we have done as the Mafia, it really gave a great immersion and gave me some time to worry about game problems rather irl. Car lines woah Mafia shit so cool!!! To an extent, I think people like a good mixture of funny banter and serious roleplay or immersive roleplay. So this definitely was really fun for me. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/j7XjzJMTtAyycwieC/spok?invite=cr-MSw0VDYsNTMwMzE5NDQs https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/j3QiwaQuY_KXVzDfM/spok?invite=cr-MSxPNDIsNTMwMzE5NDQs Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: At the moment, no. I may update this list to start asking other staff members for recommendations if they choose to. ------------------------------------------------- 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, if there is other staff on to handle the situation and a ticket shows up, they can take the ticket. However if no one is online to be able to handle the ticket, I believe I should go on duty and immediately respond to it if no one has claimed it within 2 minutes tops. (If there is staff on. If not I'll handle it right away.) I would first assess what the person has stated. "I was RDMed by this guy." Do you have a clip? (I should review the clip and understand the situation a bit more before just siding with someone UNLESS the evidence is blatantly clear that this was RDM.) I should bring the accused into a situation and explain that he shot x person. What was the reasons? And from there it depends on what the situation is. Maybe there is context before that led to a shootout, (follow escalation rules and ensure that the accused is aware of such.) or if it is blatant RDM you would warn them. (Verbal or actual notes or bans. This would be case by case as it requires checking POs and looking at evidence before coming to a conclusion. Of course if I feel weary about a situation I should call staff higher than me to assess the situation and learn about the issue before issuing a punishment\dropping a situation overall. 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?: If I have seen it it means I should confirm if it is abusing. Maybe it isn't something I know about what they are doing and shouldn't jump to conclusions right away. However if it is clear they are abusing, I should be gathering evidence and sending it to UA so they can oversee what is happening. 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 have request a different admin because that could constitute to bias. I want to try my best to not take on a situation with bias as that could be detrimental to my reputation. If there is anything I can add I don't mind responding to comments made. Thanks for reading!
  14. To add onto this, in your clip 0:03 Seconds; How did you and your friend take out hands at the exact same time without giving each other a mutual understanding you would hit the car? This looks a lot like you metagamed this to be in unison with your partner.
  15. Hi Vethar, I was the one you killed in this situation. There is a way to escalate this situation appropriately. Your logic does not apply to how the rules work. What you are saying is, "He used words to disrespect us, so kill him." This is the prime example of RDMing. There was no direct threat to you, nor to your partner. Both of you went out of your way to block my vehicle; and subsequently hit my car for no reason. Similarly to how no damage was done to me, no harm was done after being run over. However, you went out of your way to take your firearm out and kill me, while not posing any threat to you. It doesn't change the fact that you RDM'ed. Rather if both of us took guns out while aiming at each other/having it off safety or pistol whipped one another, then you and I would be getting into a fight that wasn't breaking any rules. Instead, you just posted an RDM clip and an RDM bait. Similarly, you somehow knew who I was without having my recognition or my name in game; essentially, you bring OOC knowledge into the game and use it for your IC bias. Attached shows my perspective of what you said; which is to what your partner posted too. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k87sUMCUgLwiKxovg?invite=cr-MSxJQ28sNTMwMzE5NDQ If you watch my clip, you can notice how I did nothing to provoke you to shoot your firearm at me. However; through appropriate escalation, you could take your gun out and place it on safety; pistol whip or whatever. You were banned for RDM = Random Death Match, Killing Players without valid reason. There is no valid reason for you to take out your firearm against me, thus resulting a ban. For escalation rules, please view two links I am going to post coming from the official Diverge RP networks forums page. 1. Let's break this down. In the video, you block my vehicle. You hit it after I disrespect you. I tell you both to stop, and that is continued. I ram over the individual, not inflicting any damage. I step out the vehicle to confront you about the situation, and you wait, take out your firearm, and kill me. *Again, this is baiting. You are baiting to shoot me.* And because I have died, it was considered as RDM. If someone is loitering/following/harassing you you may give them warnings to leave you be, if they ignore several warnings and continue you may attack/kill them. (One warning will not suffice, multiple warnings in a very short time span will also not suffice, you have to give them time to react.) *You have not given any warning to leave.* Likewise if someone runs you (pedestrian) over / hits you with their car intentionally you may kill them. However, if it was an accident or incidental car clipping and was not intentional, be reasonable and don't kill them. You may not attack/start confrontations with people in order to kill them when they defend themselves. This is considered baiting. Additionally, I wasn't following you guys; rather, you all were following me. Ways to Identify someone IC'ly: -You have their F3 *You don't.* -They Identify themselves to you, verbally giving you their full name / unique nickname *We never met, you somehow knew Pearce but my name does not include Pearce. Nor have we ever encountered each other in Roleplay with my character.* -Someone who has their F3 Identifies them to you. *According to both your clip and your partners, the both of you didn't have my recognition.* In your friend's clip on 00:27, you can see me slowing down, and your friend runs in front of my vehicle to make me stop. (It appears he may have tried to get himself VDMed.) VSync may have been a small issue, but you can see I was trying to still drive, but couldn't because your friend came infront. My initial reaction would be to stop. At the end of the day, this to me looks like your argument is "I got disrespected, so I will take my firearm out and shoot the guy while I have the chance because I forced him to do something." And this, again, is the prime definition of RDM Baiting. 0:25 of your clip, you can see me walk out the vehicle with no firearm in my hand. Essentially, I wasn't an active threat to you, and you went out to still shoot me down.
