I'm hurt that you say there are a multitude, and I've had more than just one dupe approved; -the carousel (discretionary) -the rodeo bull (discretionary) -little israel's money-pie roulette table -little israel's sky screamer commission (discretionary) at some point I was told that as long as it looked alright and it wouldn't crash the server, lag or look ugly, and staff didn't ask me to remove it, it would be fine, because I had made so many tickets at some point that they just wanted me to stop could you please find some forgiveness for this "last straw situation" in the fact that I only miss the staff approval for this piece to exist? I originally made it for my rockefeller character as something akin to a spinning sign or an interactive billboard because it literally is an engine, and I was really happy about finishing this thing cause it was a nightmare to figure out for the understanding of who views this appeal, this is the dupe I'm talking about Also, I don't know where I was told I couldn't build, but I do know what I wasn't allowed to do; I was specifically told not to put down a double decker parking dupe which took me a little while to make, and I was going to sell it to the guys at Napoli, but UA said no, the next day, stupidly, I talked to the guy at nap and showed him the dupe, and he thought it was awesome, but my flags got taken and I had to appeal; since then I've always respected the wishes of staff when it came to my props you said no moving builds, when you told me to delete the wheelchair; I thought this meant no moving, vehicular builds; when I brought out the engine, I thought it was fine because in terms of mobility, it was stationary and not a threat to your life if you didn't actively fuck with it by using YOUR flags to try and jam it or stepping into the machine and killing yourself on purpose I do not get stubborn, as much effort as I might put into something cool I can always make another dupe that won't make a problem for staff or anybody responsible for where I use my flags all in all, I would have asked if I wasn't so used to being told "this is what you made a ticket for??", so I generally tried to follow the guidelines and make the dupes rp relevant and also practical in their use; if that's what it takes, then I'll always ask discretion (if you didn't read the second posted thing, you won't know why I didn't ask first here)

Your Name: HarryB^ SteamID: STEAM_0:0:65488 Staff Member involved: Byte What was blacklisted from you?: pet flags Reason for blacklist (if given): I spawned in an engine dupe that I thought was really cool and I let people fuck around and fling stuff with it, and the moving props could kill other players if they stepped inside the contraption Why should it be returned?: in IC regard: I put up lots of warning signs on the base of the engine saying they shouldn't walk on it at all in IC regard: I never flung any objects with it myself, it was not designed to do this and prior to today I had no idea it could do this in 99% of uses with my flags, I am doing things that are actually important icly and it was really stupid that I would gamble them just for a moment of goofing around with other people, letting them mess with something that even had the chance of propkilling them, especially because I didn't actually buy the flags, I traded them for a lot of really good stuff a very long time ago because I wasn't and I'm still not in a position to buy flags again for personal reasons Please consider I do not have the advantages that a lot of the people around me do, specifically money, and all the messing around was in good heart, at the end of the day we're playing garry's mod and I got lost in the fun we were having; nobody (to my knowledge) was bothered or hurt in the commotion of nonsense that followed, there was a bunch of people throwing milk cartons and chairs, other things; I was not among them yes, it is a roleplay server, and I've messed up before, but this time it was to nobody's loss except my own, in fact the first time somebody killed themself with it I was going to get rid of it but they wanted me to stick it around because they liked it, and the dude who died was pretty alright about it (Jarquavius Reginald III); I don't know what better to do for people to like me than to impress them because all it seems is like I've been stupid in every other realm than building; just the other day I made a working vault door for somebody's room in the ghetto

but who the fuck wouldn't at least WANT to weld a couch to a lambo

someone or something keeps deleting my shit I been trying to call you Ass Kull multiple times

I think you misunderstand; there's not a lot of legitimate uses you have for staff powers that you can use in character; outside of building which you really should be doing in the sandbox server, you can't do much of anything with your staff powers that will not give you an inherent advantage for example, in the situation I talked about someone having welded a couch to his lamborghini, that looks pretty innocent from an outside perspective, but mechanically; 1. you cannot do damage to anybody on the couch without shooting their seat spot specifically, and that would be pretty hard to do at the speeds a lambo can go: 2. it could potentially block shots or be picked up by a minge (this, as in, when you hold out your hands and right click on a prop that is light enough, you can pick it up and wave it around); this would end up getting the car fucked with and prop abused 3. it looks retarded, yeah, funny, but it's retarded and it'll make people feel obligated either to be retarded about it or get pissed that somebody welded a couch to a lamborghini and staff let it slide henceforth, staff abuse should always be taken seriously, no matter how light or minimal it might seem; that shit can really fuck up any in character situation

you're right, I'll add on to them from here; 1. If somebody RDMs and I'm off duty, I don't handle it; I get ON duty and find out the whole situation, a lot of RDM could be an actual hit playing out and I don't want to act on what people don't make a ticket for UNLESS it's just blatant rulebreaking (i.e. mass VDM). For a better step by step, I begin THIS process if the ticket is made; 1. I ask the ticketer what happened and who might be involved 2. I ask the involved persons including the ticketer for a clip of the situation (I do not bother anybody who needs to be brought until I can confirm they are outside of a roleplay situation) 3. If a clip is provided, I review. If not, and there's any kind of dispute or argument between parties in what happened, then I dismiss. If it's only an argument based on what the situation is, this can be solved by actually reviewing the rules for both parties to understand what happened. Teach if possible, but if one party doesn't accept the outcome, I can do nothing about it. Second, If a staff member abuses, since it really is down to the T, I'll report the abuse. Getting any advantage from being staff, icly, is bullshit; I was thinking in the realm of doing fun stuff that staff are usually only able to do, but aren't really harmful there's not a lot that you can do as staff with your powers icly that wouldn't end up being abuse and/or powergame, so I think it's fair we keep a short leash on that type of stuff

in case my last thing just got censored and it's not taking too long to load, a -1 without a reason is being a dick with no balls

I do my best to avoid the bad part of the game here, I don't enjoy getting mugged or dying so I've avoided trouble as much as I can as uninteresting as that might sound, at least I'm safe from what would leave me sour

big note real quick I could really put all the effort I got into making a perfect staff app that honestly conveys all I have to say, but that'll be pretty short of what I have to meet in the application requirements; a lot of what I have to say is a lot simpler than I'm allowed to be I wanna be staff so there's less burden on the others that just wanna play already, so people are not waiting 30 minutes or longer for one ticket to be taken; that was my experience today and it sucks In-Game Name(s): Jean Sirius, Waffels William Evers, Cooke E. Baker, Ossafir Boliz Steam Name: HarryB^ Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960396704 Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:65488 Discord Username: _codda Age: 19 When did you first join the server: around 2021 or 2020 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 1w 3d 20h Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: as much as I can without burning out 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, I acknowledge Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: very 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 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I absolutely hate the wait time that I and everyone else goes through for the most basic stuff. I love you guys and I appreciate how much bullshit you tolerate for the server to keep going but the bane of my existence on this server is 3 staff on and a minge situation. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I have fucked up in every possible way so if somebody genuinely fucks up or is just playing coy then I'll know which it is and what to do Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): mostly 1942 larp (yuck), most knockoff servers Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: yes, a couple of times Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * very 50/50, some people like me some people don't What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I can't really think of a favorite moment, I just love being here cuz everyone is so real and we can fuck around enough for a roleplay server to have fun Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: not a chance lmao ------------------------------------------------- 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?: if nobody else takes it I'll go on and deal with it; sometimes RDM is actually a PK that was kept down low so if I'm not allowed to carry out PKs I'd make a callout and continue my shit 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 it's a fun kind of abuse like welding a couch to the top of their lamborghini I'm letting that shit fly cause that's actual fun but if somebody goes as far as to armor their car that's a nono and I snitch 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 proceed as I would with anyone else; I tolerate absolutely no bias in administrative stuff, that shit is meant to be the moves behind the scenes that keeps us running; if you break the rules that's on you, and as much as I like you, you've fucked up and now I have to belt you edit: I would always ASK for the video of what happened first; if logs contradict what anyone says and there's no video, then innocent until proven guilty applies
