Meh people can steal it all they want they won't get a +1 from me though... By stealing and not taking the time to come out with your own info shows me you don't really care and you're just going to do a half assed job.

But thats my opinion.

personally i dont think its stealing if don is putting it out there, i think its more of a very good example on how to do your applications, that you can easily use to model after, obviously changes are needed to fit the person who is applying and what they are applying for, does not mean they shouldnt get a +1

I'm talking about if they just copy this whole part

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have no problem with people using the format, but i want to know how they will handle things not the way Don handles things Lol

Because if you haven't really played with the person you're going to be judging based on what they write... and i can't just +1 someone knowing they stole word for word from what another member wrote...

Post by: Don on October 12, 2010, 11:11:54 AM
Well, obviously, the reasons why I want to be VIP and situations were left there for a reference. If anyone really copies them 1:1, then ... well ... No comment.
It's supposed to give a short overview of what you should include in these sections.

You'd be surprised just watch someone is going to copy it for word for word Lol I just had to say it in this thread so people will go "If i copy it for word for word, i won't get a +1" so they know to actually write it themselfs Lol

Post by: Don on October 12, 2010, 11:17:19 AM
As I said, this is to help people write their VIP app and to prevent further fail apps from coming in.

I'll also be doing a Regular reference, but I can't be asked to do that right nao.

Mentlegen, it's not cool to copy things 1:1 without giving any credit. Nor is it cool to copy it almost exactly.
I'm not trying to be a dick, but it's not hard to just write five words to say who gave reference to the app. Heck, even I did it on my respected application. >_>

http://forum.randomgs.com/index.php/topic,1157.0.html (http://forum.randomgs.com/index.php/topic,1157.0.html) (I facepalmed ...)
http://forum.randomgs.com/index.php/topic,1235.0.html (http://forum.randomgs.com/index.php/topic,1235.0.html) (okay, can be argued if it took this as reference, looks very much like it in my opinion.)

Uuuuh, since I'm not able to edit my own posts here, could some Admin please add:

Code: [Select]
[color=blue]Contributions to RND[/color]:
[Tell people what you've contributed to RND. Everything counts; guides, maps, scripts, whatever. Just don't lie about stuff you contributed (people will find out) and don't say you banned a lot of minges. Don't. Do. It.]

Would be nice if it could be added between "Why I Want To Be VIP" and "Situations", so it's like this:

Code: [Select]
[color=blue]Why I want to be VIP[/color]:

[color=blue]Contributions to RND[/color]:

[color=blue]Situations[/color]:

Thanks!

Post by: Don on October 28, 2010, 05:37:56 PM
Oh Magic, thank you for editing it, but I meant it different lul.

Please just replace the thing in code with this:
Code: [Select]
[size=18pt][color=blue]<Name>'s VIP Application[/color][/size]


[color=blue]Name[/color]:
[Your REAL name. Not in-game name.

[color=blue]Age[/color]:
[Your age, including birthday. If you don't want to provide this, remove this part.]

[color=blue]In RND since:[/color]
[Your sign-up date here. Don't lie on this one like most others do. Be honest. Everyone likes honesty.]

[color=blue]Times online:[/color]
[Insert the time you're online here. DON'T lie on this number - it's important.]

[color=blue]Time Zone:[/color]
[Your time zone]
TIME ZONES FOR MOST PEOPLE:
USA: GMT -8
UK: GMT+0
EU, SWITZERLAND AND SCANDINAVIA, NOT INCLUDING RUSSIA, UKRAINE AND POLAND: GMT+1
RUSSIA, POLAND, UKRAINE, REST OF COUNTRIES THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS SOVIET UNION: GMT+2

[color=blue]Servers I mostly play on[/color]:
[Insert the servers you play on here, in order from the one you play on the most to the one you play on the fewest. Don't forget to insert a stupid joke to Plain Build, otherwise it doesn't look cool. Servers are Trouble in Terrorist Town, Flood, Zombie Survival, Plain Build, Wire Build, Rotation, Fretta.]

[color=blue]Steam Name:[/color]
[Your Steam name with Link to profile here]


[color=blue]Why I should be VIP:[/color]
1. I was never reported as an Abuser or as a minge.
2. I'm online A LOT, meaning I could help a lot in keeping the servers minge-free. Also, I'm active on Flood, unlike most other people.
3. Most people that have met me in-game (minges excluded) like me, and in general I can say I'm a nice person.
4. I am very patient with minges, meaning that I don't kick for first-offences. I give two to three warnings before starting a votekick, except in a few cases (such as RDMing his traitor buddy or the detective in TTT unprovoked).
5. I try to not hold a grudge against anyone, meaning everytime someone rejoins, they haven't done anything. This doesn't count on people minging all the time, of course.
6. I try to react to most calls for help in the servers, no matter on which server it comes from.
[Edit, add or delete reasons the easy way! Made like this so you get an idea of what to write here - don't copy and paste the exact same things ...]

[color=blue]Why I want to be VIP[/color]:
[Change however you want to change it]

[color=blue]Contributions to RND[/color]:
[Tell people what you've contributed to RND. Everything counts; guides, maps, scripts, whatever. Just don't lie about stuff you contributed (people will find out) and don't say you banned a lot of minges. Don't. Do. It.]

[color=blue]Situations[/color]:

!!!!!!!!!!!!![b]Do not use the following situations one-to-one!! DON'T! THIS IS A REFERENCE![/b]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[u]Someone is prop pushing on Flood[/u]
1. First warning.
-> keep doing: Second Warning
-> still keeps doing: Start a votekick for prop pushing.
-> Joins back, keeps prop pushing: Give a last warning.
-> If the subject is still acting wrong: Start a voteban for continous prop pushing after several warnings.
-> If person comes back, still prop pushes: Start another voteban, if nothing, tell an admin/report.

[u]People are money rounding in Flood[/u]
1. I will tell them that they won't get any money from it.
-> if they keep doing it: tell them a second time that it is useless and also give a warning.
-> if they still keep it up: Give them a last warning, then starting a countdown for them to jump.
-> if they have no intention to jump during and after the countdown: Start a votekick on the one with the most money.
-> they come back and money round again: give them one final chance to stop.
-> if stupidity wins over their common sense: Start a voteban on one of them, most likely the one with the most money.
-> if comes back and keeps doing: Start another voteban, if continous behaviour, tell an admin or report on the forum.

[u]Killing fellow Traitor buddy on TTT[/u]
1. I ask them why they did it.
-> if it was an accident or after the other traitor buddy tried to kill them: leave it be, tell them to not do it again. If the second situation occurs, warn the other person.
-> if person does it again on 'accident': Start a votekick for RDMing a fellow traitor twice.
-> if it was on purpose: Start a votekick on them for RDMing fellow traitors.
-> if they come back and do it again: Start another votekick.
-> if person does it a third time: Start a voteban.

[u]RDMing the detective as an innocent[/u]
1. Ask the person why they RDMed the Detective
-> if it was because the Detec was randomly shooting people: Leave it be, check how many people the detective killed
-> if it was for no reason: Start a votekick on the person.
Refer to the list above to see further consequences.

[u]Someone is glitching (not spawned on glitch, TTT and Flood)[/u]
1. Tell the person to stop glitching and give instructions on how to suicide.
-> if person doesn't have a console: tell him/her to rejoin the server.
-> if person does have a console, but won't suicide: Warn him/her another time to suicide or rejoin.
-> if he/she still keeps glitching: Start a votekick for glitching/holding up the round.
-> if he/she comes back and glitches again on purpose: Give one final warning.
-> still nothing: Start a voteban.
-> if comes back and keeps doing: Give one warning, then start a voteban for repeated glitching after several warnings.

[u]Someone is using a name changer[/u]
I would try to ban the name changer by myself in the server, and if that's not possible, I would get the SteamID and report the subjct to an admin.

[u]Someone is using an aimbot[/u]
1. I would keep an eye on them (suiciding early on to spectate them). Get SteamID.
-> if it's just skill: I'd tell the people that just because someone is good, doesn't mean they use aimbots.
-> if it's getting weird (turning around the corner instantly shooting three people in the head): Keep watching. If anything similar happens again, start a votekick on them for using Aimbots.
-> if person keeps using aimbots: Repeat procedure above, if confirmed use of it, start a voteban.
-> person still uses hax after all: report on the forums.

[u]Someone is using speedhacks[/u]
Exact same procedure as described above.

[u]Someone is mic-spamming, general population wants him/her gone[/u]
I would tell them how to mute people and that mic spamming is not a kick/bannable offense

[u]Someone is constantly disrespecting other people[/u]
1. Tell them to stop.
-> if person listens: everything's okay.
-> if he/she keeps up the disrespective behaviour: Warn them another time.
-> still no intention of stoping: Start a votekick for their behaviour.
-> comes back, keeps up the behaviour: Warn them one last time, saying I will voteban him/her if he/she doesn't stop.
-> keeps it up: Start a voteban for repeated disrespective behaviour.

loldoublepost, delete post before this one, it was useless anyway.

So I did some edits to the app and changed the colour to limegreen since blue was eyerape.
Check out the new parts and tell me what you think.

Thanks to SMasters for moving the topic so I could edit it. :3

Post by: Deacon on March 15, 2011, 02:10:39 PM
I think that its because they aren't focused on actually becoming a regular with intent to stay here. I think (and this is just me) that they either want the tools, or they want to look different with the little blue reg tag. I mean, we've got a million apps, no one reads the rules, and they all have nAmez*&$lYk.,~DiS37529, so really, I'm not surprised.

Yes, but many more or less known players aren't applying for VIP either.

EDIT:
If no one has anything of value to add anymore, can someone move this back to the VIP section please?
