Well, I Mean I answered every question and I mean come on I can't answer for every single scenario so I just gave an example.

Yes you can. The punishment ladder is there to give us an understanding of how you’d deal with rulebreakers, without it we don’t know how independent you can be. Look at literally any accepted app from this year
On top of that you don’t know any current staff members, which is important for reputation.

Still needs improvement in my opinion, -1 from me until I see some good changes made

 

[Thegoldenhotdog]

Ok, my mistake. I've added some punishment ladders and I'll be adding more later today.

Edit: I believe I've covered all rules on the server in question. Please respond if theres any more questions. Thanks for telling me why you gave a -1 so i could fix it.

Technically yes, although on the sevrer you got admin by buying it. Despite the stupidity of the way you get admin, I am regarded as good staff there.

What was the name of the community and how long were you moderating? There is generally a bad stigma about communities that "sell out" permissions.

 

[Thegoldenhotdog]

The server is only one server, and it's not like any other. There's no moderation times or anything. So really, I just have so e experience doing admin work. Not a lot else. I know what the commands do and stuff. I forgot to mention I was also staff on an scp sl server for some time, but it wasn't for very long. (Server was shut down).

 

[SolarSocks]

Even if you were regarded as good staff, it seems a bit weird to just pay to apply with no previous trust. If there were people to vouch for you it would definitely help.
Also

Admin imperonsation: Perm ban

???

Changing my thoughts to neutral with the improvements to your app, just barely.

 

[Thegoldenhotdog]

As I said, it's stupid. What I'm trying to say is that despite the utter stupidity of the staff system, other staff regard me as a good admin. I still have done admin work there and people like it. But it's not "formal" admin work, so don't think of it as normal admin, cause it's not. It'd more or less freestyle admin stuff. TLDR I know how to handle rule breakers, but that's about it.

 

[Dova]

Punishment ladder is too lenient in my opinion.

8th: 36 hour gag/mute
9th: perm gag/mute

You'd Jump from a 36 hour gag to a permament?

 

[Thegoldenhotdog]

I can either keep making changes or you guys could just go ahead and deny my application. If you think im too lenient or something you dont need to give me endless chances. But I will make changes anyway.

 

[SolarSocks]

The punishments in general are inconsistent and weird.
Some are too lenient, such as the ones Dova posted, or the sprayban stuff (though sprays dont even work lol), while others are too harsh (perma ban for admin impersonation?????)

 

[CashPrizes]

There is a lot of confusion with your punishments. Such as issuing a gag on someone for spamming mic? Or perma banning for admin impersonation. I believe at this time you are not ready. It's unfortunate that your previous community just 'gave out' admin without any clear guidance.

Please do continue to enjoy your time on the servers. Take this opportunity to be more vocal on our Discord and familiarize yourself with our server rules.
