MrManslayerX 390 / 6,713 Report Post Posted December 27, 2016 While I'm not the manager there, I can still speak for it. Since I run the CS:S RPG Surf, and the servers tend to shadow each other anyhow. Generally, it's good to know the admin team of the server, along with having a good reputation among the players. Have a good amount of time logged on the server, and having a mic always helps, but it's not necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyFox 318 / 8,341 Report Post Posted December 27, 2016 Generally, most servers require standards, such as amount of playtime and activity, and being familiar with the community and the admins on the server you wish to apply on. You want people to notice how well you communicate yourself on a server. Being helpful and answering questions for new players is always a good thing. Don't do things that might make you look unprofessional. Another standard requirement servers usually have is forum activity. Having one or two posts on the forums when applying can look bad, seeming that you only joined the forums to apply (but, if you are well known on a server your applying for, that could nullify the forum activity standard) All in all, you won't really know if you are capable of being an operator until you do apply. Then, the current staff team of the server you apply to will review your app and comment if you are missing anything critical, or if you put forth enough effort. My advice is this: Get more activity on the forums If you don't think your well known on the server, then start communicating and helping, over the mic or in chat Befriend some (or all) of the staff on the server, and get to know them. Speaking from experience, this step is most likely a crucial factor. Don't stress it if you are denied. Just keep playing on the server while doing the above, and apply again in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrManslayerX 390 / 6,713 Report Post Posted December 27, 2016 Don't mean to cut in on you, Rabbit, but forum activity isn't necessary at all for Operator. That's only if you're looking to become admin. However, everything else said stands true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats something I gotta get comfortable with lol Indeed. Forum activity always looks good, and it helps open the door to becoming an admin down the line if that's your intention. It also helps you get more well known by key players in the GFL clan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mould 154 / 6,188 Report Post Posted December 27, 2016 Becoming admin was at one point on my mind about a year ago. But that was when I was employed under the US Navy and that idea was for the Gmod prop hunt server. Since I found out that the server was taken down, I switched over to csgo. Discovered the surf rpg server about a month or so ago and got curious about operator. Sorry for rambling lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrManslayerX 390 / 6,713 Report Post Posted December 27, 2016 Not a problem. Either way put, the aforementioned steps are going to help you out either way. A lot of admins start off as operators anyhow, if you choose to further pursue that, that's up to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
