[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Your In Game Nickname:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Add the in-game name you use on Steam. It has to be appropriate for all players. For example, you cannot use derogatory names for your in-game name if you plan to be part of the SGM staff. Having an inappropriate name can also be considered unprofessional and can lead to your application being denied.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Your SteamID:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Use [URL='https://steamid.io/']SteamID I/O[/URL] find out how to get your Steam ID. Your Steam ID should look like STEAM_[SIZE=5]0:1:0000000.[/SIZE]

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Age:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Our servers have no age requirement for our staff. As long as you show maturity and impress the staff, you can be considered by our administrators. So feel free to apply if you feel you have the potential to be a part of the SGM staff.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Server You are Applying For:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
This section covers which server you wish to become staff for. Click the option for the type of server you wish to be a [COLOR=#00ffff]Moderator [/COLOR]for. If you wish to apply for more than one game type, then you will need to make a 2nd application and click the other option. Though being staff for multiple game types is not recommended.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Total playtime on our servers:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Please put in how many hours you've been on the server. Don't be vague and type "3 days" or "about 4 months". Use !stats in-game on one of our 5 servers to find out how many total hours you have on the servers and then put that in your application. You may also ask any staff member about how many hours you have in-game if you aren't able to access the server at the time.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Times You Are On:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Please add a specific time frame and don't say things like "all day". For example, you're available from 9:00AM - 12:00PM. Please add AM or PM on the time available.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Time Zone:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
That's your time zone. Here's a [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zone_abbreviations']Wikipedia link[/URL] in case you don't know which time zone you live in. While it may not have every time zone, it should give you an idea. Example: If you come from California, then you live in the PST. If you live in New York, then you live in the EST. Some folks in Canada also run in the EST time zone as another example.

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Previous Staff Experience:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
If you have any staff experience on different servers (doesn't have to be limited to TTT), then add it here. If you also have any positions in real life, then by all means, then add it here too. The more diverse you are, the more impressive your application can be.
Note: You do not need any staff experience if you wish to be a part of the SGM Staff!

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Why We Should Pick You:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
Please talk about why you should be chosen and be as descriptive as possible. While length doesn't matter too much, you should still show some effort in your application (at least a paragraph and not just a one-line sentence) on why you should be chosen. Not showing any effort in your application can cause the staff to view your application negatively. Don't include generic reasons on why you should be picked up like "loyalty" or "active when mods aren't online". Focus on being unique and letting out the positive points on why you should be picked over the other applicants. What makes you stand out positively? What strengths do you have that can benefit the servers?

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Questions to ask yourself:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
- What times will you be online?
- Are you mature enough to enforce the rules and moderate the server?
- Have you received any punishments on the server? Will these punishments reflect poorly on you?
- Why do you want to be a moderator? To help the server or to help yourself?
- Do you present a professional and friendly face while online?
- Is there anyone reputable who would recommend you?
- What can you do to improve the Community as a whole?
- How much playtime do you have? Are you active enough to benefit the server?
- Are you a serious player? No one wants a troll for a mod, sorry it's true.
- Will you be willing to put in the time and effort required for the Moderators?

[CENTER][SIZE=7][COLOR=#ffffff]Things you should obtain before applying:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
[LIST=1]
[*]A solid reputation with the player base.
[*]Experience. Experience is always a plus when applying for a position on a major server. We do not require it, but having some level of experience definitely helps.

[CENTER][COLOR=#ffffff][SIZE=6]Examples of promoting or advertising your application may include[/SIZE][B]:[/B][/COLOR][/CENTER]
[LIST]
[*][I]Asking people to check out your application on either the servers, the forums, or the TeamSpeak.[/I]
[*][I]Mentioning your application for no reason (this also includes whether you already did or intend to make an application in the future)[/I]
[*][I]Asking an admin to make you a mod (this includes making subtle hints)[/I]
[/LIST]
[CENTER][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ffffff]Advice for SGM Applicants:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER]
[LIST]
[*]A good amount of time to be considered for the TTT staff is to have at least 15 hours every 2 weeks. Having less may hurt you until you raise the hours you're playing every 2 weeks.
[*][COLOR=rgb(191, 191, 191)]TTT Night and/or EU Staff prerequisites have been covered by @Solar found [URL='https://www.seriousgmod.com/threads/night-and-eu-moderators-needed.38819/#post-357676']here[/URL][/COLOR]
[*]DR Staff prerequisites have been covered by @Disruptionz found [URL='https://www.seriousgmod.com/threads/deathrun-staff-needed.22990/']here[/URL]
[*][COLOR=rgb(191, 191, 191)]Make an [URL='https://www.seriousgmod.com/forums/introductions.24/create-thread']introduction[/URL]! Introduce yourself and get to know the community![/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]Refrain from bumping your application. Staff members are always able to see which applications are pending and your application will always be considered as long as it's still pending.  The only times you should ever have to comment on your own application is if you either have personal issues that conflict with your activity, answering a question or if you want your application locked.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]Make sure to keep a decent forum and server presence as well (and keep your application up to date as well).  Failing to do so will get your application denied.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]Please refrain from advertising or promoting your application in any instance. (this is also in effect if you wish to become a mod, but didn't make an application yet).  This will affect how the admins will see you and overall, give you a harder time getting a chance to be a part of the staff.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]Please do not copy and paste your previous applications if you have any.  Make the effort to stand out and be[I] unique[/I].[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=rgb(192, 192, 192)]Please refrain from adding your personal information in your application (email, phone number, etc.).[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=rgb(192, 192, 192)]Understand that you are giving up some of your time and fun to be a staff member.  Being a staff member involves managing a server first.  You are a staff member before a player.  Keep this in mind if you do get accepted.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]If your application gets denied, please heed the time frame provided by the admin who denied your application.  If your application got denied and they told you to reapply no later than a month from now, you MUST do it at least a month from the time you were denied.  Failing to do so will result in your application being denied and possibly discourage you from being considered.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=silver]Do not feel discouraged if your application ends up getting denied. It just means that you have some flaws that need to be addressed and corrected.  Fix these issues and then reapply once the time frame you are given to reapply arrives.  If you show major improvement and fixed all the issues that caused your original application to be denied,  then an admin will be more likely to consider you. [/COLOR]While we do appreciate every applicant applying, we value applicants who stick close to what the Staff Team are looking for. Please keep that in mind when applying.
