It doesn't matter how long ago this took place. If you bought a skill twice, and it actually deducted the skill points on the back end then there would be 2 duplicate entries for the skill under your steamid in the database. The only situation where it wouldn't save it to the database is if it was down/having issues then server died not allowing the queue of queries to execute. Lets say this was the case, then how would the skill points be deducted from the database? Its not possible. Its very common that it shows you buying them on the client side (within the UI) and showing a deduction of skill points (again on the UI) but only on the client side/UI. Re-logging would of set the UI back to normal. You know if you buy the same skill twice it makes it go up tier? I have also just read this topic you created: Saying your skill points and challenges don't add up which is "proof" something went wrong. I have gone through your skills and added them up which total around 535 skill points. I then calculated all your skill points earned from challenges and it was not above this number. So there is no proof there that you are missing skill points. Also on that topic QA accepted and have confirmed to me it is only client side.

Introduction: In my opinion, a good staff application consists of the right things being said, and in a good amount of detail. You do not by any means need to write a massive 2,000 word application to cover all of the most important points, It's just a matter of wording them correctly. To begin: First off you should make sure that you click on the application form to make certain that you follow the template provided to ensure it is in the write format. You will first fill out the information section which will ask for your in game name (For example mine would be "Greywind", your steam (For example mine is STEAM_0:1:597651748, you can copy it off the profile interaction menu in game), your time zone (Mine is GMT) and your current rank (I would recommend both your in game and forum rank, My forum rank is "Collaborator and my in game rank is "vip" What qualities as a staff member should you have?: For this section I believe that the best way to go about filling out this section is to do the following. Step 1: Name the quality step 2: Explain in detail what it means step 3: Explain why it is important step 4: What are the benefits For example: Suggestions for qualities you should mention: Knowledge: Experience Emotional Intelligence Communication Activity Positivity Teamwork Dedication Efficiency All of these are good points to explain in detail given they're all things a staff should show when moderating a Dark RP server. Why do you deserve a promotion / Extension of your rank?: To fill out this section I believe the applicant should do the following. Explain why you want to apply and explain why you deserve the promotion using the following pointers. Show what qualities listed in your "What qualities as a staff member should you have?" section Describe personal traits you posses which will be a benefit to the staff team Explain personal traits you posses which will benefit the community Conclude (Bare in mind you can use the same template as shown above for the first section to further your points) Additional information and a conclusion: You should also consider the following You should tell the truth because staff will support you more if they can relate to you and can confirm what you're saying and believe you. You should not over do your application, keep it to the point and make it informative. Try not to repeat yourself, keep it fresh and interesting. (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT): Build a reputation for yourself, given yourself a good name and make yourself known amongst the staff. Being an active member of the community and someone people like will massively aid your application given that +SUPPORT from staff WILL effect the outcome (Also -SUPPORT will be considered as very bad for applications so try to avoid getting any if possible) This means getting to know the community and standing out as someone who is know for being kind, helpful and an upstanding member with good intentions and looking to do good by the people. To conclude, applications are not so hard, and if you keep in mind what you're writing and you follow these pointers, you will do well and most likely get accepted. Bellow I am going to give you an example of a good application I have written which you can use as a reference for your own application. Practice application for reference:

Can you write one for me? Thanks x

sorry mate but Shitposts is one below this one.

@Mason R. I don't know why he just seems like a very nice dude

My suggestion for success. This is an application about you. Everyone having the same points and eventually the same application leads nowhere. Make sure you are known by the players and staff, active, not have any recent punishments. If the staff know you and how valuable you would be you don't need a perfect application, similarly, if you are mediocre, a perfect application won't save you. My final tip is to not ask for attention, no asking staff to reply, no asking for support, nothing.

Nah man I just wanna help people who struggle to find a place to start and pointers to use in their apps.

Im in need of help, after I made the bug report about the skill point issue Im still screwed. I have a bunch of lost skill points and nobody to ask help from. If somebody higher up can either reset every one of my skills or refund me the points, I would be in your debt. If you need to crunch the numbers I can also provide my steam account for proof. Im desperate. I put this here because I have no idea where else to put it.

? I pretty much made this since I've seen a lot of applications that are lacking so I thought I'd make a guide, a place people can go to for inspiration.

I agree they are all exceptional at their job

@Atoni, Always happy to see him and he's always happy to sing for us. Crisp good quality mic just adds to how kind of a lad he is. Such a role-model on the server. I look up to him.

Happens to me all the time dawg but @Ricajust gives me money when i'm broke

Just wanna extend my thanks to all three of these awesome lads, as well as those present but I can't remember the usernames currently, for helping sort out an absolute clusterfuck of Mass RDM's, Mass RDA's, general shittery and rule breaks last night. These lads demonstrated good patience, and exceptional competence at their duty. I am very grateful to have these guys on the staff team. Well done you three!
