IN-GAME NAME: Ethan Limsley / Blackdown

AGE: 13 ( December 13th, 2000 ), Nearly 14.

COUNTRY: USA

STEAM ID: STEAM_0:0:51410733

About this application: Let's just start off with one simple explanation. I wasn't banned from the rank Moderator, I was demoted for inactivity. I would also like to say that, while in the past as a Moderator, I was always a bit overwhelmed. But, I was a great Enforcer. Even then, that doesn't hinder my chances at becoming a Moderator, as everyone changes, and so have I, I've grown older, more mature, and now have a much better understanding of the rules. Although this application was used initially, I used it again because it contains the same meaning that I put into it when I first made it. In all this, all I ask for is another chance at being an Enforcer at first, we don't have to jump into Moderation yet.

NOTE: This application isn't posted now to be accepted now. I'm posting it now, just knowing that it will be determined at a later point in time. So don't go saying that I posted this too early or you never see me on, it's because I just returned.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE AN ENFORCER/HELPER: I believe that I should become an Enforcer because I feel that I can be a good Enforcer as well as a good contribution to Perp-Head's staff team. I also feel that I should become an Enforcer because I see players everyday breaking the rules and others not doing anything about it. The reason I see this is because I am usually on during times when other staff members are not due to me living in the GMT -7 timezone. This helps because most other staff members live in Europe rather than my time zone or somewhat similar to mine. I am usually online from about 6 - 7 AM and 5 - 8 PM GMT on weekdays and on weekends I am online from around 9 AM - 9 PM GMT time giving me the chance to help while others cannot. I am a very active player and in my opinion, a great staff member too. I have very good grammar and can speak very well english. I can communicate with even the toughest players and can usually figure out a solution for rule breakers. I feel like I know the rules quite well and that I could enforce them properly.

Something to add onto this, is that I've been a Helper, Enforcer, and Moderator before, so I know the punishments, ban system, warning system, rules, laws, and pretty much all around everything there is to know to be a staff member.

I also believe that I should become an Enforcer because I have a know-how of punishments and what to do in situations that involve problems. For example in a situation where my friend has RDM'ed a cop because he gave him a ticket then went into a situation with me and DC'ed I would not only ban the player for a reasonable amount of time, but I would also treat my friend with the same respect and equality that I would treat another player that has done the exact same thing that my friend has done to get him / her banned. ( I know that Enforcers cannot ban, I was just giving an example :) )

I have two bans on record ( Perpheads bans ) and no VAC bans. I feel that bans shouldn't matter in this occasion unless they were serious bans. My two bans were for stupid mistakes that I made and am honestly sorry about, and they were only two days aswell. I also feel that my timezone is the perfect one for this server because it is when most admins or moderators are not online and when I can help the server the most. I see players all the time breaking the rules and when I could help but I cannot, and I would love to be able to do so.

I have had tons of experience with being a staffing rank meaning Enforcer, Mod, Administrator, or even Owning a server. I have done all of these and I still do but I feel that I am especially committed to this server and that I really understand all the rules, laws, players, and the correct punishments on this server. As being an Enforcer I would always make sure to do the right thing and to never break the rules. I already know the rules thoroughly and I think that some Enforcers do not know all of the rules and may just abuse their rank. I want to be an Enforcer so that I can help players that need it and deal with rule breakers that get annoying. I know how being an Enforcer works as I used to be one.

One example of this is what happened today. Dealing with multiple rule breakers, I felt that I handled the entire situation as professionally as possible. During this, I explained all the rules that they broke, why they broke them and they ended up getting banned as a result of Ayjay's Ban Request that he made as he was there with me at the time, spectating the situation. I feel that this situation, has truly proved that I know the rules, laws, and proper punishment, even after being gone for so long, because I've been looking over the rules and building up a much stronger understanding. I finally feel that I am again ready to become an Enforcer and do what I did before, except much, much better.

I feel that I am a very good RP'er and that I could help improve others RP'ing and rule following if I were to become an Enforcer. Many people have been with me in an RP situation and I believe that they can support me in saying that I am a good RP'er and a good rule follower. I have a total two weeks meaning enough to fit the requirements. I would love to help out the server even more than I already can as a regular player and Enforce the rules and help make the server a better RP'ing place.

While playing Garry's Mod, I have about 600 hours, all mostly spent on Perpheads. Stating this, I feel that my experience in role-play is very high, therefor meaning that I would have tons of experience and good judgement in RP situations.

HAVE YOU BEEN ADMIN ON ANY OTHER SERVER: Yes I have been on quite a few. One being Perpheads, all the way up to the Moderator position. Others too, however they were not Garrys Mod servers but very similar in the sense of RP. I am a very trusted administrator on these other servers and they are quite popular aswell. I infact own one currently and find that I own it quite well. ( Just my opinion )

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY:
Although some do know of my bans and three warnings, I apologize for them all. Two of the warnings go with the most recent ban and the third warning was for an immediate problem that I had to solve and I should have been safer instead of running across the highway. What happened was I was a SWAT officer and the Mayor was corrupting the city on purpose. He had just recently given the SWAT team a van right before the bank robbery took place. When the alarm ran off, I first looked both ways before crossing the highway, then dashed across to go get the van. I know this was a mistake and I apologize for it, I was rushing and I probably should have taken the underpass. The first ban on record was a mistake between me and Ind, I was talking to him during an admin sit about a traffic incident or something like that and I misunderstood him when I thought he gave me permission to go, when in fact he was not done talking to me. I made a ban appeal, and was unbanned shortly after. The next ban was a big mistake and I felt no need to make an appeal because I know what I did and I made a rash choice that I shouldn't have made. I got into a situation with some other people and they tried to mug me. I had money in my pocket ( About 11k ) that I just used to purchase some clothes and other stuff. As I was walking back to the ATM to return my money they mugged me and I pretended not to have any money. They then told me to drive off and I backed up slowly to 'look at a house' because I was considering purchasing it. As I backed up to it they shot my car. I went up and tried to take one of them out by hitting him with my car and missed.

I understand that this was a huge mistake and that is why I am posting it here, to show you all that I am sincerely sorry and that I have learned from my mistakes. I really want to help this server and I feel that I am more mature since my last incidents and that I have learned from them. Since these experiences and other personal mistakes in real life, I have much improved my game play, choices, RP, helping, and just in general playing. In real life I have changed my way of thinking very hard before doing something that I know may not be right or not. In this, I hope you understand that I am trying to change and that I am pretty much there and I feel that I am ready for this postion, however, if you feel different please tell me, I would love to hear your reasons :)

(Please note that recent means around a year ago, I am just saying recent because it was the last ban I ever received.)

I also am going to be more active on the TS server than I was because I feel that I can help players to the best of my abilities in that part as well.

I would love to hear your feedback about my application and my in-game activities. If you give me + Support or - Support or +/- Support please give a reason why so that I may explain my reasoning and improve my application for the better. Any support would be appreciated, aswell as negative support ( Only if you feel that I have done something negatively. ) would be appreciated so that I know where to improve. All feedback is great! Thanks :)!

* I have good understanding of the rules
* I have been with the community since December ( I joined the site in January )
* I used to be a Helper, even when the rank wasn't available anymore, Enforcer, and Moderator.

Damn blackdown, you're not even back yet man.

Either way, I've seen you handle a situation already and if you promise to improve the things that were broken before.

No. You're not active aswell due to the events that took place. Due to this I do not feel that you're capable of holding this rank. It appears that you're aswell kinda power hungry in my eyes as you jsut came back and tried to get the rank back. You do not meet all the requirments which is for example; active on teamspeak.

so here is a litte story:

4 Months ago, a User named "Mannerwaffel" was an Enforcer. He wasn't the best in history but he wasn't the worst either, just somewhere in the middle. One night, when my Moderator app was up, a (here not named Administrator) asked me, if I would like to see an admin sit which Blackdown was having. Me, who only heard of how Blackdown was handling admin sit, I agreed and this administrator gave me noclip and a member of the senior admin team (not named aswell) gave me ghost mode. We flew up to city hall where Blackdow was standing with the famous user "Rayoz" and some other guy. I was listening and whitnessing, how Blackdown lost the grip more and more and he lost the point, he got a bit confused. "Rayoz" and the other guy, started arguing and screaming at each other. Blackdown, tried to cool them down and calm them but it didn't work, they fully ignored him. I could watch this anymore so I stepped in. I stoppped them from arguing and held the report for Blackdown. Rayoz got his punishment, I felt good for helping Blackdown but this just proved the stories I have heared. Blackdown is not capable of handling admin sits and he punishes without really knowing the story. I was once warned by him for an invalid reason, Bolli knows but the idiot that I am have deleted my old demos. He warned me for intenionaly killing a guy as SWAT at pd for trespassing. I tried to explain him the situation but talking to Blackdown is like praying for a cow, you won't be listen to. He made his decision before he even got to hear our story and Mr.Lewis can vouch for me as Blackdown was taking him on reports when I and him applied for Enforcer, which is not allowed. So here is my - Support Blackdown, get rid of your, as Alex_:D would say it, "Blackdownsyndrom" and then come back. Also, don't pre-post an app when you do not meet the requirements in any way at this very moment. Good-Bye and thank you for reading. rip in still angry at you me.

Edit: I forgot to add that he can often be very inmature and that @LEWIS 088 banned Blackdown once as he was running around in the skybox as a Police Officer, NOT in noclip. The ban was removed but the situation won't be forgotten.

Seems as if it may be better to NOT put this up as a placeholder, as I said in the actual application, which, seeing from the comments, most of you did not read. I stated there that this application isn't meant to be determined now, it is to be accepted or denied in a matter of weeks, but for right now, it's just up here to be here for the time being. However, I suppose I will just re-apply when I feel the time is right. I thank you for your honest opinion's, however.
