    What position are you applying for?:
    Moderator

    Where would you like to be staff?:
    TTT

    How old are you?:
    17

    Do you have a mic and do you use it?:
    Yes, I do.

    Do you have any previous Admin experience, if so, where and when?:
    I have previous modding experience on a deathrun server hosted by NyeBlock. That's about it honestly I don't really play Gmod to become a mod, I usually just play to have fun or screw around. That being said, I will apply to servers that I really like because I want a reason to keep coming back.

    What ideas or skills can you bring to the table?:
    I follow the rules, hate cheaters, am laid back so I won't make decisions because I am angry and in doing so, break the rules. Also, I talk to players so I can get a feel for which rules people like and don't like in order to see if I can help out.

    Why do you think you would be a good staff member?:
    Because I love playing Gmod and I am easy to get along with as long as you follow the rules or at least give a real good reason as to why you did what you did. Also, I won't want to lose my job so I will make sure I follow the rules myself.

    How much time can you spend per-day on the servers/forums?:
    2.5-3 hours.

    What things do you think the staff, or Harpoon Gaming as a whole, could improve on?:
    Just make sure that you don't ban everyone so much. I know it's important to keep the server clean, but banning everyone that breaks the rules on their first go round will give the server a bad reputation. At least that's my opinion on the matter.

    Why do you want to be a member of the Staff?:
    I love the server because it is always full of many people and there is always a good amount of staff members on and I want to be a part of that. There is nothing I like less than a server that is always a ghost town or that never has any staff on so all the players are breaking the rules or cheating.

    Any miscellaneous information we should know?:
    Not much. I'm finishing up High School and am looking into web/game design and I like Gmod.

    At this time, we've opted to decline your application. While I do believe you started off strong, I think that there's an issue that's arisen I have seen with others before.

    Sometimes when a regular spends a lot of time with the staff in the mumble, they have a habit of that boosting their ego, or otherwise making them believe they get preferential treatment. While I understand why that happens, it's something we try to avoid, and it's something that I definitely want to address before they apply for staff.

    There's been a few incidents involving RDM or borderline RDM that I think you should work on. I understand it's fun being in the mumble and hearing the staff work things out, but you also have to remember the rules in their entirety to apply to you.

    I recommend working on that before applying again.
