[b]***My birthday is in two days on the 3rd of July, COUGH COUGH***[/b]

Ingame Name: Raider Hanks

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:80360476

Time Played: 483 Hours. (107 Hours since my T-Mod app)

When First Joined: March 8th, 2015. Back then I just played for a map or two until my main server at the time had enough people on it. Wasn't really hyperactive until last summer.

Availability (Approx. times you play, and time zone): I have the superior time zone of the East Coast. Since school is done for the summer, I'll be on from like 8 am to about 10:30 pm. While of course I'll be off and on throughout the day, because of my damn Internet, the majority of the day I can be on. Some days I won't be able to get on at all, because its life and I have college classes I'm taking over the Summer. As long as I'm home and it isn't too late, I'll hop on.

Sponsor(s): @~~Penguinslayer4~~ @Dildo Shwaggins

Rank Desired: Moderator

Current Rank: Test Moderator (T-Mod)

What can you do to help the community: I can continue with what I've been doing for almost an entire year. I try to get on uber early so that I can help the server populate and then moderate it to keep the calm. I'm a level headed individual that doesn't get angry and overreact with my role or power. These last few weeks I've been asking staff a lot of confirmation for punishments simply because I want to be correct in the future. I ask a lot of questions all the time, which most staff online with me can agree. It is not because I don't know the rules, but because I will remember what to do in that situation any time I see it afterwards (I know what to do, I just desire confirmation). I'm the kind of person that loves input, and as such, constantly wants to hear the opinion of others. By being a full blown moderator, I can skip the middle man and just punish an individual accordingly (ban them) right after I get the evidence. Having shitty Internet, it took me forever to create any form of ban request. (Yet I still did plenty of them, as my threads can show, you lazy fucks ;] )

Why you want to help the community: I've always been an individual that values the benefits of rules. Gmod is that kind of game that people can buy for relatively nothing during sales and then join certain servers to fuck around on. Most, who haven't played for years like others, simply do whatever they want on these servers. I did the same myself when I first ever played TTT. I didn't know what I was doing and would rdm constantly. What prevents this and makes the game enjoyable is a staff member that will combine punishment with meaningful information. While an individuals may be slayed or banned, the staff isn't against answering questions or helping them to actually understand the game. Enforcing the rules isn't the only duty of staff in my opinion, its also to make sure that the population knows what they are doing and having fun. If someone is resistant to actually learning and reading the rules, punishment is the only path. If someone messes up and is willing to apologize for it and learn, we have the responsibility to ATTEMPT to help them. This server is like a family to me at this point. I want to continue aiding it.

Have you been previously banned? (Link Relevant Posts): None that were serious. I may have been joke banned once or twice, but I was never on when it happened.

Have you previously applied for staff (Link Relevant Posts):

How did you find us?: Just was looking at populated servers that I had a good ping on when my main server wasn't populated for the day.

Other: Regardless of what happens, I love this server and will continue to play until that eventual day that everyone has in which they no longer play a certain videogame for decades.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
