My first moderation position was granted on a surf combat server in the summer of 2018. It was a small position of trust and there were many senior staff above that were active. There were no set standards for punishments and I had to gauge every situation myself. Most of it was keeping players entertained and happy, as well as limiting abuse and drawing lines between banter/bullying as well as banning the occasional cheater.
I ended up moderating for my favourite UK gamemode community ENW in late 2019 (jailbreak, kz, retakes) as well as creating my own awp/knife bhop combat server. I learnt many serverside skills and gained a high understanding of the game's technicals. It went well but we were just starting off and unable to keep a consistent playerbase as we were a completely new community, I fell out with my co founders and quit. I focused on my loyalty to the larger already established organisation, taking on more responsibility and improving my moderation skills. I was in charge of resolving player conflicts, rule breakage, cheating, abusive language and harrassment as well as many unique cases that arose and required command intervention. My ability and results were not ignored, I was promoted to administrator half a year later, this was rapid compared to most senior staff and mostly due to my good conduct/moderation skills, personal contributions to the community, and healthy relationships with all my senior staff. I was voted in administration and soon after given the role of kz server leader, a newly unfulfilled role that I was able to grasp using my previous understanding of servers formed from my awp bhop organisation and being one of the few current admins that played it consistently. Seeing its decline from ip+gslt changes and owner mismanagement, considering the nature of kz and how all globalkz servers are identical, it was not surprising our kz playerbase declined to near 0, with players likely finding other servers to play instead. When new owners took over, I came up with the idea of a chasemod server to replace it, after garnering interest from players I was allowed to take charge of the initiative of a new hns (chasemod) server. I had the most comprehensive understanding of this gamemode amongst our staff and it was to be the replacement for KZ. In a month I developed the server to a high potential, it quickly rising to the server with the highest playercount for the gamemode in the world, beating known already established servers such as powerFPS, ukcafe and sweHNS, with more than 95% of the playerbase being completely new to the community. I was the most active member at the time and moderated this server intensively whenever I was on, keeping players from breaking rules and developing relationships with frequent players. I had full authority regarding decisions on player-rule conflicts and the development of the servers, with occasional suggestions or custom plugin requests from the owners.
I ended up taking over from the previous owners, leading this community until the death of west European jailbreak/hns (our main gamemodes) and even a bit further. It has been 2 years since I quit this community. My holistic experience with community servers has provided me with the skillset required to moderate any single csgo server regardless of gamemode, keeping player conflicts to minimal levels.
Do you have any previous NON CSGO or T2 staff/admin experience
Yes
If so, details
My community has on occasion created temporary events which include the hosting of gmod and minecraft servers, naturally the responsibilities of moderating these servers extended to the current staff team at the time. DarkRP especially was a welcome to the improvement of my moderation skills, as I encountered new situations and problems which were not so easily resolved, eg one member of a team breaking failrp or KOS base rules against a team/group and them retaliating escalating into full out war.
