DISCLAIMER: (Same Disclaimer as GM App) This is going to be me being 100% honest. I know sometimes I can act goofy, and joke around, and go around asking "Do you like fortnite?" But this application is 100% serious. I have 2 different sides, and I have spoken to a couple staff members about it. 1 side I like to be friendly and make people laugh, but the other side is the side I like to keep private because I like to make people laugh. I'm extremely respectful of others, and I feel bad for others. I have been in a position similar to this, and also higher then this before, and I know how to act and what I'm supposed to do. I want to be able to benefit the server, and let everyone have a great time on HogwartsRP. I understand the seriousness of this application and rank, and if I get accepted I will not let any of you down. I want to be able to make you all enjoy the server more, and create more great memories.
UPDATED DISCLAIMER: I know I really don't even need to put the disclaimer since it could seem bad if you don't know me that well. I just want people to know that this is 100% serious, and I truly care about the server, and the community as a whole. I have been trying to show more of my serious side since my last application, and I think I have some. I know the rules like the back of my hand, and I want to be able to let new players enjoy the server as much as I did. With that being said, I thank you for looking at my application, and I hope you enjoy reading it! Thanks, and have a wonderful day!

(4.) When did you first join our server and how did you discover it? - I found out about HogwartsRP back in early 2017 through some friends that were on the server. I decided to hop on, and give it a try.
(4a) How can we be sure you will stay active and loyal (with your time) to Star by Star? - Like I said in my previous application, I have been here for 3, almost 4 years now. I've enjoyed playing here, and I look forward to continue playing on the server. I have been here since I was about 12 years old. I don't plan on giving up SBS any time soon. :)
(4b) Do you understand you can be let go at ANY time for inactivity? - Yes I do.
(5.) Do you understand and agree to not only comply with, but also enforce the rules of the Server when necessary? - Yes I do.
(5a) When listing the rules please explain what they mean to show that you understand them.
List Rules below:
1: Rule number one would be "No FailRP (Fail Roleplay)" What this means is that you cannot do something that your RP character would not do. You can't be playing as an Auror and snatch a student, that would be considered FailRP. Another example would be a Prefect arresting another Prefect, or a Prefect arresting a teacher.
2: Rule number two would be "No Hate Speech/Disrespect towards other players." This means you cannot use any racist, and or homophobic slurs/words, and you should be respecting the fellow players on the server.
3: Rule number three would be "No RDM (Random Death Match)" This means you cannot kill another player without a valid RP reasons. An example would be, a student killing another student because he took his homework/spell book. That would be considered RDM.
4: Rule number four is "Obey Staff & RP (Role Play) Leaders" This means if you're a prefect you should be listening to your RP leaders. (Head Boy/Girl, and Teachers) You should also always be listening to what staff say to you.
5: Rule number five is "No Massive Free Spelling." What this means is you shouldn't be going around casting Stupefy, Verdimillious, etc, at other people, or in the air for no RP reason.
6: Rule number six is "No Metagaming" This means that you cannot use information obtained through OOC means for RP purposes. An example would be you read an undercover Dark Forces job title, and you say that they're a Snatcher.
7: Rule number seven is "No Mic/Chat Spam" This means you are not allow to blare music into your mic, scream into your mic, or say the same thing in voice or chat repeatedly.
8: Rule number eight is "Advert is for RP purposes only." This means you are supposed to use advert for RP purposes only. An example would be a Dark Force selling off a person they snatched. An unacceptable example would be a student adverting about what they had for lunch.
9: Rule number nine is "No ERP (Erotic Role Play)" This means no sexual role play, or anything even close to it. It is unacceptable.
10: Rule number ten is "Do not avoid the AFK system, or Map Exploit"
Avoiding the AFK system means, you're not allowed to create macros, or anything that will prevent you from being kicked for being AFK.
Map exploiting would be finding a place where you can glitch yourself into a spot where you cannot be found/killed.
(5b) Expain what the term "minge" means, when referring to a player on the server - A minge would be someone who has no intent to RP on the server, and is there to mainly cause problems, or to break rules on the server.
(6.) Tell us about yourself and why you want to be staff on SBS? (100 words or less) - Here we go again haha. Well for starters my name on the server is Perseus, I'm 16 years old, and I love to talk to people! :) I've been playing on the server closer to 4 years now, and I have enjoyed it a lot. I have contributed so much time to the server, and I think it would only be fair if I started giving back. I've donated to the server several times, but I still feel like I can do more. I applied for Gamemaker but almost as soon as I posted it I started having second thoughts. After closing it, I started speaking to a few people, making sure this is really what I wanted to do. I slept on it for a few nights, and I finally decided I'll try out Moderator for a while and see how that goes. A lot of the reasons I want to be staff are already stated in my previous application, and I don't want to sound like I'm just copying from it. I really do want to help the server, and I really do want to see the server improve, and grow more! I'm a very active player, and I am almost on every single time its "Prefect Law." I would like to be able to do something about the rule breakers other then just reporting them, because I feel bad for the other players that have to deal with that type of stuff. I also wanted to touch up on the disclaimer at the top again. I felt like I should put that because I joke around sometimes. I know when I should be serious, and I am acting mature doing those times. But I like to make people laugh, and have people relax, and enjoy the server. I've put so much time into this server, and I've loved SBS for a while now. I want to be able to let new players enjoy the server as much as I did when I first joined. I want them to be able to make friends, and progress throughout the years without having to worry about minges, or people trying to cause them harm. I understand the responsibilities that come with this rank, and if I do get a shot at Moderator, I will not let any of you down. (If you would like to read my previous application you can find it at the bottom! :) ) (Edit: I now just noticed it says "100 words or less." I hope this will not be a problem, I'm just used to putting forth a lot of effort into each question and making it as detailed as possible. Most other applications I've done in the past say "100 words or more.")
(7.) What do you feel you need to improve on the most? - Honestly its probably just being more open. Right now I really only show the players on the server my joking side. The staff team (I hope they know) knows that I can be serious when I need to be. (Reports, rule breaks, etc.) I like to make people laugh, and some people may label me as immature, or childish for that, even though its the complete opposite.
(8.) How would having you on staff benefit our server and what sets you apart from the rest of the applicants? - A lot of the same reasons still apply from my last application. I'm extremely active when no staff are on. (Early mornings.) It's prefect law for 4-5+ hours at some times and I'm usually on then. I'm extremely experienced with both lua, ULX, and Garry's Mod in general. I know on my last application a lot of people didn't believe I have been playing Garry's Mod for 11 years, but it really is true. I wasn't obviously playing all on my own like I do now. My older brother got me into gaming. I was playing GTA as well when I was 5. I was playing a lot of sandbox, and just building when I was younger. I didn't really pick up Garry's Mod on my own until I was around 7 or 8. Back to the main point though. A lot of points from my previous application still stand. Activity, experience, efficiency. I'm a perfectionist. I like to get things done as soon as possible.
(9.) Have you been staff/are currently on any other servers? If so, which ones? (List them if possible) - There is way to many to remember. I've owned, developed, managed, and done whatever you can think of, with countless communities. I have pretty much had any rank you can think of. I am not currently staff on any other server though.
(10.) Have you ever been banned on any Garrys Mod/SBS servers? If yes, then please list when, how long, and the reason. - Other Garry's Mod servers yes. I've done stupid shit while I was younger but that doesn't really matter anymore. Everyone does. As for SBS, the only bans I can think of are from years ago with the old spell system. Someone would give everyone in the server Avada and everyone would start killing each other. I got perm banned 2 or 3 times because they kept thinking it was me. (It wasn't.) I had appeal all the bans, and got them all approved.
(11.) Are the Server staff or the players more important? Why? - They are both really important. You can't really have a community without a player base, but when players come, minges follow along as well. Staff is also extremely important because they maintain peace on the server, and they can handle the players that are there to ruin other people's experience.
(12) How would you rate your skills overall out of 10 (EX: Patience, response time, etc) -
Activity: 10/10
Ability to handle a sit: 9/10
Honesty: 10/10 (There is no reason to be lying. No reason.)
Organization: 10/10
Confidence: 9/10
Response Time: 9/10
Leadership: 8/10
Communication: 9/10
(13.) If you do not know how to handle a situation in a mod-sit, what do you do? - I don't think this will come up but hey, you never know. I'd first get the entire story, and do my best to understand which rules are broken, and if I'm still confused on the situation, I would attempt to contact another staff member for help. If they can help, then great! If they cannot, then I would suggest them making a report on the forums. If it is not a report of another player, or a rule in general, I would tell them to post in the "Help & Guides" section with their question.
(14.) You understand and realize, that by applying for staff on the server also means, that you are sacrificing the complete freedom of being able to RP freely all the time without any interruptions, and are obligated to handle all server issues at hand no matter the situation? - Yes I do.
(15.) Please make a list of all previous staff applications, a link to them, and the reason they were locked. If they were accepted, please give a short explanation of why you are no longer staff. (Disregard if this is your first application) -
Gamemaker Application - Closed due to me requesting it. I just felt like I should focus on myself, and see if this is really what I want to do.
Just a heads up, I will most likely keep this application updated, and may add stuff later on.
I'll give all my galleons if it'll convince him.
