@Ryzif - You love essays right?
Ingame Name: chelllman
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:104538552
Time Played: 430, https://www.gametracker.com/player/chell...134:27015/
When First Joined: March 2021
Availability (Approx. times you play, and time zone): Mon-Sun anytime. Usually in the evenings somewhere between 7-11pm EST. My job has no set hours (all that matters is the work I have gets done before deadlines). As such, I frequently log on to answer staff pings from 9am - 11pm EST.
Rank Desired: Moderator
Current Rank: Test Mod (starting 11-11-21)
What can you do to help the community?: I can help foster a healthy PH community by regularly interacting with new/old players, and keep the server safe and fun to play on. I am quite active on the server, and a promotion to moderator would allow me to answer “simple” ban requests (ie: obvious hacking, slurs, ghosting, etc) so that “ban actors” (pun intended) are removed from the server in a timely fashion.
Most importantly, I believe that my perspective/viewpoints would be a useful addition to the moderator team. In short, I’d like to sit at the adult table and help discuss the more difficult questions that arise for PH staff. I’ve been the tip of the spear for many of our recent permabanned trolls by making several lengthy ban requests (which can be found in the PH ban request archive), and I’d like to contribute to moderator “round table” in the future.
Why do you want to help the community?: Truthfully, I really do care about this community. I’ve made some great friends through Dinks that I regularly play other games with besides PH. One of the reasons I applied for staff was because I saw how frustrated regulars (myself included) got when problems arose on the server, but staff were unable to intervene. I hope that I’m able to help keep the server playable and fun for everyone.
Have you previously been banned? (Link relevant posts):
No serious bans. I have been banned a total of 55 times…(thanks Ryzif, Koshka, Possum…).

Do you have a way to record video or take screenshots?
I record 100% of my time on the PH server using OBS studio. I collect screenshots with the windows snipping tool as needed.
How did you find us?: Dinks PH had the most players at the time I wanted to play. Quickly migrated to Dinks from GFL because of the community.
Other:
Abuse “PH Suggestions” Thread:
I have had one abuse thread made for me which can be found here: https://www.dinklebergsgmod.com/site/sho...?tid=15963
Jammin closed the thread since it was going to devolve into a shitpost tornado. The two 40 minute map videos pertaining to this thread are cataloged, and TheUltraFish was made aware of their existence should higher staff wish to view them.
Incorrect Ban:
I have one incorrect ban where a very good new player was caught up in a multi-hacker alt spree. The player made an unban request, evidence was reviewed, and I personally bothered the admins until this player was unbanned. Thank you PixieSolider for their unban; the player was unbanned in less than 4 hours.

Possum’s Support:
UnfortunatePossum has pledged her support for my moderator application despite many a push off a fence by yours truly. No take-backsies.

Inevitable “Burn Out” Question: I know my limits and take days off from staffing accordingly. This can be verified with a glance at my 30 game tracker. I play a lot because I love playing PH and interacting with this community.
Final Notes:
I’ve done my best to learn from the PH moderators these past 6ish months as staff. I’ve watched and read many ban requests to ensure I understood why moderators took the actions they did. For accountability purposes, I record 100% of my time online. I own my mistakes and treat them as learning experiences. I believe that I’m ready for the responsibility the moderator rank holds, and I hope you do as well. Thank you.
