Staff Knowledge Section
What previous experience so you have as a staff member either within Garry’s Mod or the Nutscript Gamemode? I have been staff on Diverge many times so I have a lot of familiarity with Nutscript. I've also staffed on many DarkRP servers in the past.

Why do you believe we should pick you for the Prometheus Networks Staff Team?[300 words or more]: I believe I would be a strong addition to the staff team because of my prior staffing experience and consistent activity. As I mentioned prior I was a Seasoned Admin on Diverge in the past, where I regularly handled ban appeals and player reports on the forums side of things, whilst also dealing with tickets made by players in game. Being a staff member requires a person to remain fair, consistent & level headed even when dealing with players who are frustrated or are confrontational players. I know how to investigate situations thoroughly via logs & use of in game commands. I've been playing the server regularly since it switched over to MITHC and have stayed highly active throughout. Because of that, I've gotten a decent understanding of the player base and some of the common issues that arise such as lack of staff members in early hours. I'm applying as someone who is heavily invested into the server and wants to contribute to the community in a more meaningful way. One area where I believe I can make an immediate difference is staffing during the EU hours. Sometimes there’s barely anyone on, or no one at all, and tickets just sit there. I’m usually online during the early and later EU hours, so I could actually help cut down on those wait times and let people get back to playing instead of sitting around waiting for a response. I also try to stay approachable both in-game and out of it. People are more likely to actually message staff when something’s wrong or they need something clarifying if they know the person they're messaging is easy to talk to and won’t just brush them off. Overall I’ve got the previous experience, I’m on enough to actually cover some of the quieter hours, and I care about the server running smoothly and helping out the community. I’d take it seriously if I got the chance.

What are the duties and responsibilities of the position you are applying for in your own words? [150 Words or more]: From what I've gathered from past experiences, the main duties are pretty clear. A big part of it is handling player tickets that get made in-game. That means actually looking into the situation, talking to the people involved when needed, checking logs or using the commands and other tools in game that are available to figure out what happened, and then dealing with it in a way that’s fair. Things can range from simple questions to arguments between players, so you have to be ready and not just take one person’s word at face value. Another part of being staff is dealing with ban appeals and PK appeals, especially when you’re the staff member who issued the original punishment. In those cases you’re expected to go back over the situation, read the appeal properly, and give a proper response instead of just ignoring it or automatically sticking by your first decision. At the end of the day, you have to stay consistent and not take things personally, your main goal is to keep the server enjoyable and balanced for all who play.
