Some Random Gamer's Admin Application

[Some Random Gamer]

What is your Steam name?:

My Steam name is Some Random Gamer.

What is your Steam ID?:

My Steam ID is STEAM_0:0:59624127

How old are you?:

I am 15, and my birthday is March 2nd, so I'll be 16 soon(-ish)

What is your current time in server and how often do you play?:

My current time on this server, according to GameTracker, is 1497 minutes, which is 24.95 hours. I play most afternoons/evenings on work days, and occasionally all day on weekends. I usually play once a day, but at worst I can be on every 2-3 days. I will inform everyone if I take a vacation of something.

What time zone are you in?:

I live in Sydney, so UTC+10:00

Introduce yourself to us (Hobbies, skills, ambitions):

I spend a lot of my free time playing Garry's Mod, or browsing the Rusty Cutlass forums. Otherwise, I'm reading or, albeit rarely, studying.

What experience do you have with administration?:

Unfortunately, not a great deal, but I'm willing to learn.

What makes you feel like you should be accepted over other applicants?:

I've been in this community for a while now, and I plan on staying a lot longer. Other than that, I feel like I'm easy to talk to, and can see both sides of an issue.

How are you going to improve our server?:

Make sure no-one is breaking any rules, really. Often, I stay on the server after everyone's left in case someone else wants to join. I believe that making newcomers to the community, or even just TTT, feel comfortable is important. At the very least, I'll be handing out slays, kicks, and bans as necessary.

What makes you trustworthy?:

I have been with this community for a while now, without incident. I haven't done anything to lose anyone's trust.

Have you ever been punished, and if so, why?:

I think I have been reported a few times because a T thought I RDM'ed them, but I've always had evidence to support me. I don't think I've ever been punished.

Name someone's Steam name who can support your application?:

I don't want to go overboard with this, as I don't know who'll vouch for me. I do know that natjosh can support my application.

SITUATIONS

You have noticed that a staff member is abusing his powers and rdming because he/she thinks he/she is invincible as an admin. Do you feel that this is right? If not, what would you do in this situation?

No, doing that is wrong. Being an admin does not give you free reign to do as you please. If I do notice admin abuse, I would first issue a warning to the admin, and if the behaviour continues, collect evidence and post it to the admin abuse thread and/or inform a higher-up.

A young player joins that does not quite understand how to play, how do you show/teach the player how to play?

Yes, I do. I first instruct them to read through the basic rules of TTT, available if they press F1. I can then explain to them any server-related rules, and explain that because of the weapon pack we have, innocents can have weapons like the AK-47.

One of the players on the server starts to impersonate yourself/another admin. How would you deal with this player?

I would issue the player with a warning, and request they change their name. If they continue their impersonation, I will kick them for impersonating staff.

You are on the forums and you notice a player being abused by others in the shout box and threads. Are you in control of this/is this your problem to worry about?

Yes this is my problem to worry about. Noone in our community should feel attacked. I would first ask if they have a reason for it, and if the reason is unsatisfactory, I would report their behaviour to a higher-up.


I, Some Random Gamer, acknowledge the requirements and prerequisites that are needed to become the rank of 'Admin' in the community. I recognise that this is a trusted rank held by only a few and by submitting this application I promise not to devote my time to other competing communities. I acknowledge that I must administrate this server under the rules written by the Owner and I strive to promote a fun to play server with minimal discrimination.
