Yo I used to play on FRG/NTG forever ago. Already a member but I thought I'd reintroduce myself and see what's up.

I'm cryptic and my aim sucks ty for reading

Have you ever been banned and why: No, unless potentially a joke ban in the past (and maybe a few Karma bans). (I don't want to trawl the ban list mines again, please, I did that years ago already)

Why would you like to be promoted?: Well, I have a tendency to send out a flurry of word soup which nobody cares about, so in the effort of trying to be a bit more punctual I'll (Not) take up your time. (Hopefully). (Maybe).
(There's a TL;DR before, please read that and nothing below. If only to save me my embarrassing embarrassments).

So back around 2015(?) or so I signed up for Moderator, and before that I was +member (Though I don't remember the date). This was after playing FRG for a while and getting a pretty good idea of how the system works overall. I had a pretty rocky start - On NTG, I was a, let's put it politely, "Menace". Honestly I should have been banned, but Brass gave me more than my fair share of chances and so did many other players. At one point I sort of idolized some people, despite not really understanding how to function properly myself. Staff members like Omega Garrus and others really impressed me with how much they improved the server, and that a volunteer position in life can not only be rewarding, but fun - Especially if its for something you enjoy or care about (Which, for me, is FRG). Time went on, and when FRG rolled out, I hopped ship right away - I was super intrigued and the idea of a fresh start sounded fun. I also really, really wanted to change my image (Which was currently pretty bad). To avoid a whole bunch of meandering and crybaby stuff, I was going through a loop of medications and therapies and trying to recover from some stuff that shaped me into who I had become. I was down a pretty bad rabbit hole, not proud of that, and I was not a good person. Leaving it at that (lest I fill this entire thread with a sob story), I spent a lot of time trying to not only improve myself but reconcile with problems in the past.

<Paragraph Break to save the one poor soul who reads this out of sheer boredom>

Becoming a staff member was...really nice. I actually found out that I could help people while playing and, in turn, help myself. I kept this up for years and I was very content with my Moderator position (Since I focused on the server and not really on any sort of management, Moderator was a great end goal there). I feel like I did a pretty good job - well, not to toot my own horn, but I was active and (I like to think), unbiased. But at some point I realized FRG was growing - it was becoming a better place, though back then, it seemed strange. The internet changes, and so do people (sometimes). I realized that I wasn't growing with FRG. I more-or-less plateaued - and when realizing it, I felt like I was not a fit for being staff. I considered just resigning, but, I could never do that - not out of some sort of "rank" greed, but just because it felt like I was abandoning a part of FRG I wanted to...well, be a part of. Then I had some pretty big life changes come on and I took a break - a LONG break. A multi-year break. I never made a departure or anything, since I always planned to return, but I felt it was best this way - I needed to upgrade myself. Change my outlook on life. Start doing something more. (By the way, I succeeded, and its been such a relief). I cut out a lot from my life that was cancerous - stuff that was not healthy nor positive, including people.

<Another paragraph break, my apologies.>

Then, one day, I realized...things were pretty good. I felt like I had changed myself overall a lot. I didn't have to try to be edgy or assholish in an effort to be "interesting" or some much-maligned version of "cool", and, instead, I could just try and be...nicer. I wanted to be treated well, and that came with treating others well. To momentarily diverge, back on NTG I used to have some players I hated. I really just didn't like them, and they didn't like me. I would hate being on the server with them and, no doubt, they too for me. I wanted to change that - I don't want to dislike someone, I don't want to burn bridges, I don't want to "make enemies". I can certainly be horribly annoying and perhaps even detestable, but I'm truly open to feedback for that. I am genuinely autistic, I have permanent brain damage (TMI Sob Story?), but I can improve and its always great when people help with that.
In that pursuit I may have somehow upset some people here on FRG, and I don't want to repeat that cycle of making the server worse for someone because I'm on it, and certainly not vice-versa there. This may have earned me quite a bit of enmity with some people and if any of you read this, I'm sorry, I'm broken in many ways like humans tend to be and that means I can be very, very annoying. That's just a little bit I wanted to include in-case anyone cared.

<Paragraph Break so I can get back into my actual application>

So, in essence, I feel like I'd love to try and become someone helpful on the server again, which has always sort of been my goal whether staff or not. I'd like to think I've done that, and made friends as a result, and improved things. Maybe I've messed up in a few places. Maybe I've messed up in a lot of places, I can't really say. But I can say that I genuinely think FRG is really important and that I want to see it prosper.
I had to forcibly cut myself off here...or I would've kept going! Sorry again to anyone who read all of that. Now, the long awaited:

<TL;DR!>
•I've been +Member (and Moderator) on FRG before, and I like to think I've done a good job on that, so I want to try again! (My demotion was automatic, since I took a long break).
•Back during the recent tournament, someone mentioned we didn't have a single +Member on - and we didn't! I've also noticed that during general day-to-day playings of FRG, there can be times when nobody is on who can slay. Our staff do a great job, but I figured one more person in the field can't hurt.
•It'll be fun! That sounds weird, but I love getting involved with stuff if I can be helpful. Whether its beta-testing, volunteering, e.t.c; I want to be there! I like to think I can be considered completely trustworthy in this regard, and, hopefully, helpful.
•FRG is going to have a Member/+Member overhaul, so I was going to wait for that, but I feel like there's no harm in pursuing things considering we don't really know what/when things will change.
•Thanks for reading! Whether it was just the TL;DR or the word tornado above. I hope I can give a shot at being staff on FRG again, since I've been enjoying it a lot.


I'm genuinely hoping for feedback, so if you want to mention anything, please DM me on discord. I'm happy to listen to whatever and try to improve myself, especially if I have done/do something that annoys you.

Thank you NotJohn for helping me feel more confident and for the support you've given me. (Many thanks to others too, of course.)

Steam ID: STEAM_1:1:48767881 (STEAMID64 76561198057801491)

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): Combined hours is roughly 1400 (600 TTT + 350 Lobby + 320 Ostara + 42 Crate + 15 Survive + 20 Trib + 50 from other combined servers on FRG)

Where did you hear about this server?: Not sure I believe I found it randomly years ago.

Have you ever been banned, and why?: I have not been banned in-game, but on Discord, yes, for posting a war gore video (2-3 Years Ago), I regret that decision and I was also a little toxic around that time as well, but I paid my time and reconciled with the administration about this issue and hope to put it past me, I have not had a incident since then.

Why do you want to join?: I want to contribute to this server beyond playing on it, I want to curate and provide suggestions and content so that players on FRG can have a better experience and enjoy the limitless possibilities that GMOD/FRG can offer. In my free time, I like to program and make stuff when Im not busy with college work, so when I suggest things I like to turn that concept and idea into fruition hoping people would enjoy it enough to see it on FRG. I also helped many new players get in the groove of FRG when I could, FRG is known not to be noob friendly so I try my best to explain the complex systems that once stumped me when I first played (Crafting, Inventory Organization ETC..) I didn't have any need to become a member until recently since I have been unbanned from Discord for some time now and I was told I needed to be unbanned first to apply. The biggest reason on why I am making this application is that I interact with the community when I can and I believe to take the next step in that process naturally is to apply for membership and go from there.

Additional Details: I have over 12k+ hours on GMOD (The majority of them are me doing freelance work as a job so don't judge me ), tons of experience with communities and I know what makes GMOD tick.

Current Rank: Member

Have you ever been banned and why: No.

Why would you like to be promoted?: I would like to be promoted because i think i could be of some good help to the server, im incredibly active and mostly at times where someone may be needed the most (usually late night when RDMers and trolls join) but even more than that, im usually just always on doing something!

Why do you think we should promote you?: I think i should be promoted because i really enjoy being able to help people and provide new players with any information they may need, as well can be reliable when it comes to being level-headed as possible with everyone no matter the situation.

Do you have any administrative experience: I do have past experience

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes.
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application
for any reason we see fit, you agree to not stir up any trouble if the application outcome is not your desired outcome.
Failing to abide by this can result in a full demote, or perma-denial.)

Additional Details: I believe that i have found a home here in this community, and i'd love to be able to give back and provide any help i can.

Name of staff you were banned by: No idea

Length of the ban: Permanent

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: Repealed

Reason for ban: Evading text lock

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: Not in my opinion

What really happened?: Sometime last year I got image muted in the discord server for posting a suggestive gif of the Famous Fortnite Character Raven Team Leader getting her Butt Cheeks slapped in slow motion with the caption "I fuck w/ you heavy". This wasn't really a big deal to me and I mostly joked about the situation at the time. Earlier this year I decided to take a break from the server and left the discord. I came back briefly in February to check out an update that had just dropped and later that day I got informed privately by an admin that if I left the server again I would get banned for 'evading my text lock'. This was never even my intention and I didn't think it would have even been as big of a problem as it apparently was. Since I didn't intend to stay for that long anyway and because I thought that the idea of getting banned over something like this was a little ridiculous I left the server immediately. When I returned a few months later I had assumed that the dust had settled and I even made a point not to post any images until my role got re-applied, which it did, but a couple of minutes later I got banned from the server anyway.

Additional details: I feel like this ban was a massive overreaction over something that could've simply been handled by the staff member who wanted to ban me talking to me directly. Besides I don't think it would have been that difficult to just re-apply the role to me as soon I came back to the discord. Playing regularly and not being able to participate in the marketplace or report any bugs that I encounter sucks and I think that I've served more than enough time for something as minor as this.

Do you have any administrative experience: No, not any recent or relevant anyway
